They don't show a wide range of emotions.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jun 13, 2019
Life can be stressful, and one way to counterbalance that stress is to develop a nonchalant attitude. In astrology, the nonchalant zodiac signs might be a bubbling cauldron of feelings and anxieties on the inside, but not on the outside.
Having a great sense of humor helps because if you’re able to see the comic side to every situation it can diffuse the tension. Nonchalant people don’t often get angry, upset, or down, and that’s because they’re able to add that comic element to the most trying of situations.
Nonchalant people take any negative self-talk that may be happening in their brains, and change it into more positive and productive thoughts. They’re more about manifesting happiness than going down the rabbit hole of self-doubt.
These individuals try to be as present as possible and not dwell in the past. They learn from their mistakes and never look at those failures as something they couldn’t come back from. Not worrying about things they can’t change is key, and it frees them up to pursue their actions, thoughts, and words.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are nonchalant in the way they don't worry about things they can't change. Aries knows there are enough things they can do that will bring about change, and they'd rather take action than spend that energy focusing on things that are permanent and unchanging.
When unexpected things happen, Aries don't get thrown by them, they just go with the flow without showing any anxiety or concern.
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
The reason why Geminis can be nonchalant is that they're busy pursuing their own path. It doesn't help them reach their goal if they get distracted by other people's drama. Geminis don't really care about other people's ideas of what they should or shouldn't do with their lives because, honestly, they're too busy living it.
They are spontaneous, flexible, and aren't easily thrown by complications or challenges. Geminis don't believe in being someone they're not just to make people love them. They get enough love and admiration just by being themselves, so there's no need to sweat about it.
3. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Part of what makes Libras so likable is their nonchalant mindset and how diplomatic they are. Libras tend to be chill and let things slide. They don't want to make trouble where there isn't any.
If something is bothering them, they tell themselves they'll deal with it later when it's not as fresh for them or as emotional. Libras may not come off as enthusiastic or excited as other people, but will appear as if they have it together and aren't going to have a meltdown anytime soon.
4. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
What makes Aquarius individuals so nonchalant? They give zero f***s about anybody else's opinions. They are always going to do them. Their self-worth isn't dictated by what other people think or do, and they have control over how they react.
Aquarians are sometimes accused of being unemotional or cold, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings. It's more that they're careful about when or if they share them.
5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians are nonchalant in the way they always look at the bright side of life and have a sense of humor about things. Sagittarians don't take themselves (or most things) too seriously. When nothing is that huge of a deal, life is easier.
They aren't naive; they know bad things happen, they just choose to focus on the good things. Accentuate the funny and the positivity of life, and you'll be nonchalant too.
