Why each zodiac sign reacts differently to stress

The Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)Earth signs are the planners. When things go wrong their first instinct is to work. A Virgo might start cleaning everything or making a lot of to-do lists. A Capricorn will bury themselves in work thinking that if they just finish everything the stress will go away.Because they keep things inside to stay strong they can eventually get really tired. They feel stress in their bodies like a neck or a stomach ache. They need to learn that it is okay to take a break and that everything will be fine if they rest for a while.The Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)For Air signs stress is about thinking too much. They overthink everything. A Gemini will talk a lot trying to figure out their feelings loud. A Libra might get stuck because they are worried about making the choice or upsetting someone else. These signs tend to get really distracted. They might forget their keys. Lose track of time because their mind is racing. To feel better they need to put their phones and computers. Just writing down their thoughts on paper helps them get rid of the clutter.The Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)Water signs are the sensitive. When stress hits they feel it deep in their chest. A Cancer might go home. Stay there where it feels safe. A Scorpio might become very quiet and secretive thinking about their feelings in private. Stress for them feels like a wave. They can get really emotional. Feel tired from the energy of the people around them. The best thing for a stressed Water sign is a bath, a good cry or some quiet time near water to help them feel calm again.Understanding the DifferencesKnowing how your sign reacts helps you be kinder to yourself. If you are an Earth sign do not get mad at yourself for wanting to organize your closet when you are stressed. That is your way of finding order. When we understand that everyone has a way of coping we stop judging our friends for how they act when they are, under pressure. Whether you need to scream into a pillow or make a list it is all your way of finding balance again.
