Tweaking out emotions from Capricorn isn’t easy. They’re not a great empathizer and they avoid feelings as if they’re a disease. Their preference is to operate on autopilot and be programmed for production. Dwelling on any emotions, happy or sad, isn’t their style. They’ll shed a tear for things…

mindofataurus:

Sorrow is an emotion Sagittarius looks to erase from their memory.  They avoid it like the plague, as their attitude is that they can always rise above this base feeling and find an enlightening detour that leads back to happiness.  If they don’t have to feel glum, they prefer it be as a compassionate experience.  If it’s an empathetic moment, they can deal, as this sends them on a mission to whip out all their uplifting words of wisdom and eradicate the melancholy for whomever the poor soul is.  

mindofataurus:

As the sign of extremes, Scorpio does nothing half-assed, including bouncing around the emotional spectrum at full throttle. However, being that they don’t readily express these vast emotions, yet expects everyone to know what they’re feeling, it can cause their depression to heighten to a place…

mindofataurus:

Keeping a happy face is Libra’s way, even when they’re in pain. To them, sadness is a private matter and a shame. They’re aware of how self-absorbed it is to indulge it, but they also understand it’s necessary evil—giving them a very pragmatic approach to ridding themselves of it. To get out,…

mindofataurus:

Existential agony is a constant struggle most Virgos must attend to.  Being such a thorough thinker, it would be impossible for them not to fall under their own scrutiny and of what they perceive is others’ judgements.  With constant analysis going on, a veil of sadness is perpetually covering Virgo’s mind.  Their reality is that they must take on the weight of the world and feel bad for the vicious cycle we call life.  

mindofataurus:

Cancer is the moodiest sign of the zodiac and holds a Ph.D. in depression.  They’re the person who likes diving into all shades of gray.  As a scholar of the grim, no one, at least in their mind, can compare to the sadness they feel because they’re so “sensitive.”  However, what they might define as sensitive, others might define as crabby behavior.  Sure, there are times they’ll see a silver lining—but generally, their attitude is: Why bother setting yourself up for a letdown?

mindofataurus:

You’d never suspect it by looking at them, but Gemini has a dark side that can suck the life out of you. It’s their “not so secret” dirty little secret, and in the lonely hours of their existence, it comes out via their evil twin who flogs their ego to a pulp and undermines any shred of happiness…

mindofataurus:

Leos feel intensely; their sadness equals manic depression. Yes, even the smallest things can create these major dramas, making it hard to gauge when to take it seriously. Generally, if they’re really in a self-doubting rut, they’ll go into solitude, as they hate for everyone to see them in less…

mindofataurus:

There’s no way to avoid depression when you allow yourself to turn into a sloth—and that’s the conundrum that is Taurus.  They live for their comforts, often ODing on it and then wind up being uninspired and turning into one sad mess of lumpy flesh that has no clue how ot bring back on track.  Sure, they can happily thrive in this rut for longer than most, but life without change does catch up to them.  

mindofataurus:

Aries aren’t half-assed about anything, least of all sorrow.  When it comes to being down in the dumps, Aries does it with all the fanfare most reserve for a state funeral.  They know how to do tragic, taking the term “emotional vampire” to new levels.  However, sorrow can also be the feeling they’re most private about, as they work so hard to project their image of perfection— so tread lightly if they let you onto this ground, as the foundation is very delicate.
