Not everyone is as nice as they look.
By Amy Le — Written on Mar 14, 2019
Sure, all zodiac signs have their good qualities but no one ever talks about their demons.
Hate to tell you, but, there's likely something about you and your horoscope traits that is down right creepy.
Almost every horoscope you’ve ever read was written for you to embrace your good traits and be empowered from it. Rarely do you ever get to read something about astrology that mentions your bad qualities, let alone the creepy side of you that you try to hide from the world.
It’s not an exaggeration that every person has a darker side and that not everything is sunshine. I mean, how many of you will let a friend borrow your laptop without deleting your browser history first? Or cleaning up your apartment before you have guests over? Not many I would say.
Sometimes you don’t want to admit the bad qualities about yourselves as it’s better to live in a bubble where everything you say and do is the right thing. But denying that you can’t be right all the time will only hinder our growth as people.
Knowing, realizing, and understanding what each horoscope sign does wrong will help us develop better as human beings. That means admitting your mistakes and confronting your darker side.
Here are the creepy sides to each zodiac sign I hope you don’t ever have to experience, personally.
ARIES (March 21 — April 19)
The creepy side of an Aries is the fact that he’s always thinking about death. The ram probably spends the majority of his day thinking about the concept of death and how each person will end.
Aries is actually one of the four signs relating to birth. On a more morbid note, Aries is also one of the three signs relating to death through fire. So if you’re ever looking to strike up a conversation with an Aries, you might want to start from a darker topic.
TAURUS (April 20 — May 20)
The creepy side to a Taurus is that he’ll always have his eyes on you, stalking your every move on social media. Even if you break it off with the bull, it’ll take a while before you don’t feel a pair of eyes wandering around you.
The Taurus is known for his stubborn nature that hates any type of changes. So if you end a relationship with him, he’ll have a hard time letting go and accepting the sudden change in his life. So you might want to double check your locks before you sleep for a while.
GEMINI (May 21 — June 20)
The creepy side to a Gemini lies within their duality. Because of their two-faced nature represented by the twins, they make impeccable liars.
Gemini doesn’t always mean to lie though and sometimes they do it without knowing. It’s just that the air sign tends to bend the truth so that it benefits them and get them out of hot waters.
CANCER (June 21 — July 22)
The creepy side of Cancer is their obsession. You read about how a Cancer is quite clingy in a relationship all the time and some people adore the extra attention they get. But sometimes the clinginess can turn into an unhealthy obsession that’ll suffocate you eventually.
A Cancer’s obsession comes from his nurturing nature and the fact that they tend to overthink things for the worst. This leads to Cancer often putting their partners on a tight leash, which will drive you crazy if you’re introverted and enjoy your alone time.
LEO (July 23 — August 22)
Leo is known for, well, being Leo. Leos are highly obsessed with themselves and that in itself is creepy enough. Leo will do practically anything to reign authority and put themselves in the center of attention even if it means hurting others and overstepping boundaries.
Leo is often regarded as the king of the jungle and they have the ability to turn heads once they step into a room. But because of his self-obsession nature, he’ll even do scary things to make sure the attention is on him, which can come off as being desperate for attention.
VIRGO (August 23 — September 22)
The creepy part about Virgo lies within their quirks and the fact that you don’t expect them to have a freakier side. Having fetishes are not unusual but Virgo can sometimes take it to the extreme.
Virgo is known for his methodical nature and clean image. This means you probably will never expect Virgo to have fetishes or sexual fantasies. Because it feels totally out of left field and the fact that Virgo is often shy, the initial confession can leave people with the heebie-jeebies for a little bit.
LIBRA (September 23 — October 22)
The creepy side to a Libra is how much he knows about everything, especially darker topics. Your Libra friend is probably the first to discuss the new criminal documentary on Netflix and lay out the gruesome details for you.
It’s not a crime to be curious but the problem with Libra is that they’re curious about everything, the good, the nasty, and the bad. This means that Libra often finds himself clicking away to the weirder side of the internet, reading about the darker side of the entertainment industry. The next time your Libra friend spits out a random fact about the Zodiac Killer, try not to be too creeped out.
SCORPIO (October 23 — November 21)
The creep side to a Scorpio is the fact that he has a lot of dark thoughts, like a lot.
Scorpio tends to be quiet and mysterious. Sometimes it’s because he is shy and doesn’t really know how to approach you yet. Other times, he’s quiet because he’s thinking about violent thoughts and brutal murders. Don’t worry, Scorpio probably won’t act on his thoughts and all the violent fantasies stay a fantasy. On the other hand, you might watch a lot of Criminal Minds when you’re with him.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 —December 21)
The most creepy thing about a Sagittarius is that under all that optimistic, friendly nature, he doesn’t feel emotion.
A Sagittarius tends to run away from his problems. He thinks that if he doesn’t confront the issue, the issue won’t exist and everything is right with the world. The problem with this logic is that most people will feel guilty, angry, sad, or stressed out if the problem is looming over their head.
So to avoid this, Sagittarius will disconnect himself from his feelings so that he doesn’t feel sorrow or anger, which will allow him to continue being the happy-go-lucky and optimistic being he is known for. It’s good for the Sagittarius but it’ll make the hair on your skin stand up when they laugh during a funeral.
CAPRICORN (December 22 — January 19)
The creepiest trait about a Capricorn is how he fantasizes about murdering people, especially if they pissed him off in some way.
Capricorn is known for his ambitious and goal-drive nature, which can make him a bit overzealous in getting what he wants. He’ll often resent people who have hindered him in any way. Accidentally unplugged his alarm and made him late for work? You should probably start counting your days and finish that bucket list before it’s too late.
AQUARIUS (January 20 — February 18)
The creepiest thing about an Aquarius is that he probably already has a eulogy written for all of his loved ones.
Aquarius are lovable beings who always fight for good causes. They’re also known to be very deep thinkers, which often leaves them in their heads a lot. This tends to leave an Aquarius thinking about the future and all the wonderful things he’ll say at his best friend’s funeral. At the very least, you can be sure that an Aquarius will remember to talk about all of your good qualities.
PISCES (February 19 — March 20)
The creepy side of a Pisces lies within their hero complex.
Pisces often dream of escaping reality and creating a world where there is peace, people poop rainbows, and the sun shines all day. It’s wonderful to have people who feel sympathy and have a huge heart but there’s only so much a fish can do out of the water. And sometimes Pisces can overexert himself in the pursuit of trying to fix everything, which only ends up hurting the water sign. Plus, have you seen Glass recently? Creepy.
