Melancholy and the Zodiac Signs

When we are in melancholy we go through it in different ways. Find out how we go through these moments according to your sign.

A sad soul doesn't always have tears running down its face. There are times when we disguise all that pain.

We become experts at making up emotions, pretending nothing is wrong and inside our cracks are cutting off our breath. When signs are melancholic, most of them don't know it, because it's their resilient part that comes out to show its face, even though inside they just need a hug.

Explore sign by sign how to immerse yourself in the sadness and melancholy so necessary to mourn and overcome adversity.

Signs and Melancholy

Aries:

What Aries hates most is becoming the victim in the story. He is used to carrying the flag of victory and when things don't go as planned he makes friends with stress. He may pretend that nothing is happening, but he is desperate, he wants a sign, someone to tell him that everything is going to be okay. You may not see him in pieces, but he takes refuge in sudden changes.

It is very likely that he will end up resorting to a new look, change the color of his hair, get a tattoo or even get pierced. Aries doesn't want to become bitter, they just need an outlet to keep moving forward.

Taurus:

The sign that has to take a deep breath to keep going is the one looking for a pause, because it's tired of taking on a lot of responsibilities that don't belong to it. There comes a point where he keeps giving and giving, without getting anything in return and that's when he starts to break down. Taurus is very brave, that's why he keeps smiling and although he still helps you, deep down he has discovered that he is alone, that there are few people who really value him.

In those moments is when the only thing he is looking for is transparency, he wants to spend more time with his friends. Maybe he is the one who proposes that they go on a trip to break the routine, but behind that encouragement hides a deep sadness.

Gemini:

Yes, it's clear that Gemini also loses hope, he doesn't always see the bright side of things and there are times when he just wants to be with himself, to disappear for a while. Changes overwhelm him, make him think he's not going to make it, but Gemini doesn't say so. Or maybe he does, but no one has tried to listen to him. And it is that he makes it more than clear when out of nowhere his absence describes him.

By the time he stops answering messages, he doesn't keep up the conversation, he sleeps too much and it has become a habit for him to cancel plans. It's not him, it's his anxiety and sadness, both of which are cutting into his energy and all he needs is understanding, someone who is able to put themselves in his shoes.

Cancer:

No one beats Cancer when it comes to evading his own emotions. He may feel that breathing is not enough, that no matter how hard he tries to do his best, there is always something missing. His emotions are a constant up and down, they would like not to be like this, but they can't. It is the energy of the Moon that governs his way of seeing life.

However, when he is melancholic he does not say so, on the contrary, he focuses on the problems of others so as not to assume what he is experiencing. Suddenly he becomes more protective, more attentive, in his mind he believes that if the people he loves are fine, he will be fine. However, it is not so, it is worse, because he is broken trying to heal others and that is breaking him more.

Leo:

How many times in life have you seen a Leo broken? They have the cynicism to swim through their tears and still smile. They are old-fashioned, those souls that no matter how many blows life gives them they keep moving forward. And they have a heavy weight on their shoulders, the leader of the pack. Leo is the one who cares, who hugs, who pities, but everyone forgets that behind that beast there is also a sweet kitten eager to be pampered.

He's not as strong as he looks, but he's a master at pretending everything is fine and just evades it when shopping. Yes, Leo seeks solace in material things, in those whims that distract him a little, but then the melancholy returns.

Virgo:

Virgo is immersed in his own world. When he brings sorrows in the heart all he does is analyze the situation over and over again, even if that is synonymous with pain. He is the one who is not at peace with that strange feeling in which he is lost, his body is here, but his mind has been wandering for a long time.

He may not be the most expressive and you may not notice when tears flow from his eyes, but inside he feels like he is drowning. So he uses one of the oldest barriers, one of those in which it is better to disappear from the map. You go away for a while from social networks, from meetings with friends, you simply no longer intend to impress anyone.

Libra:

The balance, who should have everything under control. What a silly thing many have bought into, Libra has everything but control. There are times when he doesn't even know where he stands and he's fine. Moments when he feels sad, angry, desperate and with a rage that seems to burn in his chest and he would like to rip it out of his heart forever.

However, he disguises it perfectly, he has become an expert at giving advice to others, but forgets about himself. So when someone is about to find out, he gets busy. That is, he loses himself in his work, he wants to do one activity after another, so he doesn't have time to think and face that which doesn't let him move forward. Few realize it.

Scorpio:

Yes, also rebellious souls lose their way. There are people who dare to minimize the feelings of a Scorpio, because it seems that they have no right to burst into tears at the least thought moment. It is a sign that explodes inside, it destroys itself so much that when its melancholy comes to light it is because it has been like this for a long time. The problem is that he looks for one stimulus after another, complicated situations that keep him entertained and make him forget his sadness for a moment.

If Scorpio starts dating new people out of nowhere, if he jumps from bed to bed or has certain drastic and sudden attitudes, it is because something is very wrong.

Sagittarius:

There are few astrological signs with the ability to embrace their melancholy and allow themselves to experience every sensation without being left with unfulfilled desires. Sagittarius stands out among them, as he manages to channel his energy beautifully, making it difficult for others to perceive that he is going through a rough patch. They will never admit that they can't take it anymore, preferring to cling to the beautiful aspects of life, even if that means pain. He is likely to seek isolation, longing to be alone and immerse himself in his creativity.

Sagittarius finds painting, singing, dancing, music and any other art form a healing way to live through his grief and remind himself that after the gray days, all will be well.

Capricorn:

Capri's are a reference in all aspects, which makes it particularly arduous for them to assimilate melancholy when it accompanies it. There is a part of their being that refuses to accept defeat and tirelessly questions motives. Nevertheless, they do not stop in their progress. A clear sign that they can't take it anymore manifests itself when their day-to-day lives become mired in excess. Suddenly, excessive consumption of tobacco, alcohol, food or exercise reaches uncontrolled levels.

What they crave is to go on and on, as they feel it would be a waste to sit idle for a moment. Capricorns are not used to letting their guard down in this way. Perhaps, all they need is someone to hold their hand and remind them that they are not alone.

Aquarius:

Determining when Aquarius has reached their limit is not a simple task. This sign has become accustomed to erecting barriers one after another, as it gives them a sense of security in a world full of intense emotions. However, they get lost in their loneliness and there are few who can help them at such times.

When Aquarius experiences melancholy, he shows strength and proclaims himself an expert in affirming that he does not need others, that it is preferable to be alone than in bad company.

His resentful side takes over and desperately cries out for understanding. Indeed, Aquarius needs a little empathy and less prejudice, as few are aware of the battles he still fights.

Pisces:

Melancholy for Pisces can resemble a relentless gale, which surprises just when everything seems to be going well. What is most discouraging is that it does not come alone, but is accompanied by anxiety, at which point Pisces experiences a loss of control.

Suddenly, he feels that there are no escape routes and he relegates his dreams, plunging into loneliness and forcing a smile to deceive himself. He does not know how, nor does he wish to ask for help, opting to sink deeper into his pain and, occasionally, seek escape. He finds refuge in music, writing and creation, as they are the only way to release the energy that consumes him.
