The bad side of each sign

Knowing about the signs can often help to better understand the aspects of personality which are common to all the people belonging to those signs, and this is true for oneself or for the other. This is because knowing that one sign has more tendency to another behaviour is very positive to help integrate these attitudes and for people to help each other in their personal evolution.

In this sense, it is necessary to understand that everyone has light and shadows, and it is part of this journey to recognize the flaws and transcend them, always in search of a better world, where respect, unity and love rule.

So, to help in this identification, especially of the shadows of the signs, in this article, the negative aspects of each sign are listed, with emphasis on career and love. Follow along!

The downside of Aries

Aryans have a not so positive reputation among the signs, and this is mainly due to their impetuous behavior, which often borders on rudeness. This is a common characteristic in fire signs, because so much enthusiasm and practicality can turn out to be a form of stupidity and even arrogance.

Follow the definition of the negative aspects of the Aries and how the bad side of Aries reveals itself in love and career!

Negative aspects of the Aryan

For people of the sign of Aries, what matters is that the truth be told, even though it may hurt some people. This happens because they have it within themselves, and they even bear many truths that most people don't have the courage to face.

Thus, such honesty and courage make Aryans share with the world the intensity of the things they endure, even though not everyone has these attributes within themselves.

The downside of Aries in love

Aries is intensely involved and falls hopelessly in love in a very short time, but just as easily into love as out of it, he seeks new situations so that this strong energy never runs out.

Thus, Aries needs to stay interested in a romance and must work on the care and attention to the other, even with the passage of time. This sign has a tendency to love "fire of straw".

The downside of Aries in career

As with everything in their lives, Aries people need to stay interested in their work and have a hard time obeying routine - especially some of the protocols of the more sober work environments.

In general, they have no difficulty in getting jobs, as they show enthusiasm, passion and motivation. However, when the day-to-day routine arrives, they tend to become discouraged and do not evolve in careers that demand long-term effort.

The bad side of Taurus

As an earth sign, people of the sign of Taurus are very attached to earthly aspects and indulge in pleasures, and it is difficult to establish a reasonable limit of what is healthy and what is exaggeration in relation to this.

Thus, the native can be lazy, gluttonous and lustful to the extent that they do not find the limit to enjoy the pleasures of the Earth. Below are detailed the negative aspects of the Taurus, as well as the bad side of Taurus in love and career, check it out!

Negative aspects of Taurus

Taurus does not miss an opportunity to enjoy the good side of life and, therefore, can get lost in earthly pleasures. Thus, its natives can be lazy, eat too much, like sex too much, etc.

Anything that involves the good feelings of the body attracts a Taurus and can lead to imbalance, such as disdain for work or reflection and the other less physical matters of existence.

The bad side of Taurus in love

In general, Taurus is a very positive sign for love as it is loyal, affectionate, honest and seeks true relationships. However, on the negative side, Taurus can be domineering and excessively materialistic, to the point of valuing a relationship mainly for the financial security it can offer.

Furthermore, you can be extremely stable, to the point where you become complacent in relationships and do not seek to understand the deeper aspects of your partner.

The downside of Taurus in career

Besides the possible laziness that the Taurus native may feel to face very extensive workloads, the Taurus does not tend to be very dynamic.

This means that you may find it difficult to adapt to work which requires a lot of creative energy or attitude, so you are more suited to stable work and are not bothered by repetitive, bureaucratic duties.

The downside of Gemini

Gemini is a very creative and communicative sign, and when this becomes shadowy it can prove manipulative, and as your moods change so much all the time, you are unstable, and this is detrimental to the security of your relationships and other aspects in general.

Besides that, they tend to like gossip and do not allow their relationships to go beyond a superficial level. Besides being more intellectual, as an air sign, they value their freedom and personal satisfaction, so their goals are always prioritized over other people's.

Negative aspects of the Gemini

Natives of the sign of Gemini love to communicate and may lie and create truths in their speech, just to make things more interesting. For this reason, they have the reputation of not being so trustworthy.

Also, as an air sign, they tend to be more rational and sometimes pass for self-interested, as they aim for their own benefit over the welfare of others.

The downside of Gemini in love

The constant change of moods of Gemini can be difficult to deal with for the most insecure people. So, in a relationship with a native of this sign, it is possible that the feeling ceases to exist from one hour to another.

This happens because Gemini prioritizes itself above all else, out of a sense of extreme rationality that borders on lack of empathy. This leads to superficial relationships in which there is no true surrender.

The downside of Gemini in career

Instability is, without a doubt, the most negative point of Gemini in relation to career, as this makes it difficult for Gemini natives to stay in the same job for a long time.

In addition, because they are very communicative, they also like to gossip. They can always be involved in intrigues and are not very reliable partners in the work environment.

The downside of Cancer

As the first water sign of the zodiac, Cancer is extremely emotional and can be capable of causing bad feelings in other people by not knowing the exact measure when demanding affective reciprocity.

The following are the negative aspects of Cancerian and the bad side of Cancer in love and career. follow along!

Negative aspects of the Cancerian

By valuing the emotional side excessively, Cancer is able to emotionally blackmail the people with whom it relates, creating a heavy energy in environments and relationships.

The Cancer native can also be very spiteful and victimistic because he believes that no one understands feelings like he does, and therefore he will always be wronged by someone.

The bad side of Cancer in love

In love, people born under the sign of Cancer can be the most affectionate partners of all the zodiac signs, but you need to know how to reciprocate.

This is because if Cancer feels abandoned or feels that his love is not reciprocated to the extent he believes it deserves, he is capable of raising real hell in his partner's life. This includes emotional blackmail, games, and victimism.

You also hold grudges very easily, which causes your relationships to have many ups and downs, of fullness and suffering.

The downside of Cancer in career

Because they are more emotional, Cancer natives can have difficulties in careers that require more cold-bloodedness and rational solutions.

Thus, they can get really stressed and frustrated for not feeling the affectivity in the work environment. Therefore, they should look for jobs where emotional intelligence is important, such as in the health area, and avoid corporatism or the financial market.

The Downside of Leo

Being of the sign of fire and having the Sun as the ruling star, the Leo has an inflated ego, and its shadows pass through his egocentricity. For this reason, the Leo native is very attached to his image before others and can lose the opportunity to have sincere experiences by getting too attached to the need to be liked and desired.

The following defines the negative aspects of the Leo and the bad side of Leo in love and career. Check it out!

Negative aspects of the leonine

The negative aspects of the Leo are directly linked to his ability, or lack thereof, to detach himself from the ego. Thus the Leo is almost dependent on the appreciation of others, and to obtain this he may put himself in unpleasant situations, such as surrounding himself with self-interested people.

Besides that, the Leo can hurt the people who really like him and not know how to value moments and places. He will always look for the situations that more please his ego, and not necessarily the ones that make good for his spirit or his inner self.

The bad side of Leo in love

Just as he believes he is a majestic being, the Leo needs to feel this about his partner and therefore must believe that this person is a match for him.

The problem is that, many times, he ends up being excessively critical with his partners and can lose the lightness of the relationship. In general, he doesn't know how to accept the other's defects and, because of that, he can make the people who are with him suffer or end up alone, because he understands that nobody is good enough.

The downside of Leo's career

In his or her career, the Leo native should be very careful with hierarchy and the need for subordination. This is because, by thinking he or she is above good and evil, the Leo tends to be critical with colleagues and even with his or her bosses.

So he may indeed be very good at what he does, but often that is not enough, because the work environment needs rules to be followed and positions to be respected.

The bad side of Virgo

As an earth sign, Virgoans are very attached to the material aspects of existence, and in this case this is revealed mainly by perfectionism. Thus they can be very critical with all things or people around them, to the point of being very impetuous to assert their point of view, losing lightness and naturalness in their attitudes.

Check below the negative aspects of the Virgoan, as well as the bad side of Virgo in love and also in career!

Negative aspects of the Virgoan

The main point that gets in the way of the Virgoan's life is, without a doubt, his perfectionism and, therefore, his need for things to happen the way he believes they should, getting too attached to small details.

For this reason, relationships and situations in the life of the Virgoan tend to become heavy, due to an excess of criticism. The natives of this sign also have great difficulty in accepting their own defects, because they believe that they themselves are as perfect as their worldview.

The bad side of Virgo in love

The perfectionism of Virgo natives does not escape the relationship, and they can be extremely critical, even with their partners.

In addition, they have a tendency to believe that everything is wrong and that they are right, so they do not see their own faults, causing the relationship to wear down due to lack of humility and understanding between partners.

The downside of Virgo in career

At work, the biggest problem for people born under the sign of Virgo will be perfectionism and criticism.

Because he gets attached to small things, the Virgoan cannot abstract from his perfect concepts, even in the work environment, and this can be very annoying and disrupt the natural flow of activities.

The downside of Libra

Libra, as an air sign, is very much about rationality and attachment to image, so you may not be very truthful in some situations, especially when it comes to sexual interest. Also, the need to consider the possibilities makes Libra often fail to take positions.

Check out, below, the explanation about the negative aspects of Libra and the bad side of Libra in love and career!

Negative aspects of the Librian

Libra is reputed to be a fair sign, being symbolized by a scale as a representation of its sense of justice. This is because, as a sign of air, Libra seeks to rationally consider all possibilities, to observe the best path.

However, on the negative side, this can mean indecision, lack of positioning, and inertia. Also, Libra is not very fond of being indisposed and therefore may lie to please others, not being on the whole a trustworthy person.

The bad side of Libra in love

One of the strongest characteristics of the sign of Libra is its need to feel desired and sexual desire, which makes it, in love, not a sign that guarantees much security to their partners.

Libra is capable of flirting, even when he is not in love, besides not respecting other people's relationships and likes to feel the desire of committed people, or when he himself is committed.

The downside of Libra in career

The most sensitive point for Libra people in their career will be their difficulty in making decisions. Thus, Libra has great potential to work in a team and to harmonize conflicts, but can suffer in leadership positions, where the professional must be able to find quick solutions to difficult problems.

The bad side of Scorpio

Combined with the fact that it is a sign of water, where affection is very important and where you have emotional intelligence, Scorpio has a tendency to see the world with a certain pessimism. This combination makes it a sign of very strong temperament and quite difficult at times.

Below are the negative aspects of Scorpio, as well as the bad side of Scorpio in love and career!

Negative aspects of Scorpio

Scorpio is famous for being a very difficult sign and mainly vengeful. This happens because the Scorpio, besides holding a grudge, acts strategically to return the evil he understands he has received.

So, the image that remains is that people born under the sign of Scorpio are really evil, because they keep that evil within themselves until the right moment for their actions to really have an effect. Therefore, it is a sign considered dangerous and, in fact, it is not indicated to hurt these people.

The bad side of Scorpio in love

Getting involved with a Scorpio person can be quite tricky. This is because, despite feeling deeply in love and giving yourself faithfully to your partner, a hurt Scorpio can be a big problem.

Being somewhat pessimistic, the Scorpio may get hurt over small things. However, the slightest thing may be enough for the Scorpio to prove vindictive, often creating a relationship of suffering.

The downside of Scorpio in career

Scorpio's energy also shows itself in your career and you need to act calmly so as not to put everything at risk. Scorpios can be ambitious at work and have a great need to command.

Because of this, they may have difficulty understanding the importance of teamwork. Because they are very honest, their bad side can also surface if they are betrayed by a colleague, which will cause an imbalance in the work environment.

The bad side of Sagittarius

Sagittarius prioritises social life, friends and parties, and has mastered many stories and cultures to keep this dynamic interesting. However, all this can turn out to be superficial in that there is no genuine interest but only a desire to have fun.

Below are defined the negative aspects of the Sagittarian, as well as the bad side of Sagittarius in love and career. check it out!

Negative aspects of the Sagittarian

It can be very pleasant to meet a Sagittarian at a party, but it will be difficult to maintain a friendship after the good times have passed. Sagittarius does not usually dedicate himself to maintain the friendships he conquers. His relationships and even his knowledge tend to be superficial, because for this sign, friendships do not serve beyond the moment of fun.

Thus, your natives are utilitarian and tend to be authoritarian, as they are full of themselves and like to see things going their way.

The bad side of Sagittarius in love

A characteristic point of Sagittarius which has influence especially in love is their freedom. For natives of the sign of Sagittarius, freedom is non-negotiable.

This means that if a relationship threatens this freedom, then it is the relationship which will come to an end. Furthermore, this reveals itself in the need to feel the desire of others, whenever the Sagittarian wishes, which also does not help in the security that this native passes on to his partner.

Also, in general, the Sagittarian is quite individualistic. It can be difficult for Sagittarius to establish a balanced, monogamous relationship.

The downside of Sagittarius in career

Sagittarius' taste for novelty and freedom also shows itself at work, and you have to be careful that this doesn't become a problem.

This is because the Sagittarian will invent and take on many tasks that he may not be able to deliver, for enthusiasm will wear off and he will tire of those tasks, which will become a prison, as time goes on.

The downside of Capricorn

As an earth sign, Capricorn is attached to material principles and earthly achievements. In this case, this reveals itself in ambition and work, especially in the desire for financial success. To achieve this, these natives may be capable of anything, even harming others if necessary.

Below are defined the negative aspects of Capricorn and also the bad side of Capricorn in love and career. Follow along!

Negative aspects of the Capricornian

In general, Capricorn has professional and financial success as the ultimate goal in life and is capable of going beyond anything to achieve this. This is why he has, on the negative side, an opportunistic character.

In addition, you may have a more pessimistic view of the world and even engage in emotional blackmail to get the attention you want.

The bad side of Capricorn in love

Because you value financial success so highly, Capricorn can put the importance of the relationship to one side. This makes your partner feel secondary to professional obligations.

Moreover, it can make a hell in the life of the partner, for being able to act in bad faith to get what he wants, such as going for emotional blackmail and other tricks.

The downside of Capricorn in career

For the sign of Capricorn, career is their most important achievement, and the downside of this sign reveals itself when so much obstinacy turns to ambition.

The Capricornian may be able to put aside his family and friends in order to fulfil work obligations, and so his life becomes empty of affection and fun. Care must be taken not to allow this dedication to turn into unbridled ambition and slavery.

The downside of Aquarius

As an air sign, Aquarius has an exaggerated intellectuality and therefore tends to have an answer for everything. Moreover, there is in this sign a desire to be against and to have its own truth for everything. When these characteristics are exaggerated, there are the negative aspects of the sign.

Check out the definition of the negative aspects of the Aquarian and the bad side of Aquarius in love and also in career below!

Negative aspects of the Aquarian

Aquarians have intellectuality and rationality as key points of their personality. For this reason, they tend to have difficulties in issues that demand more of their affectivity.

They tend to establish superficial relationships and defend their freedom above all else, failing to take advantage of opportunities for fear of getting too involved or because they understand that their ideas are not being observed.

The bad side of Aquarius in love

So much intellectuality and rationality present in the sign of Aquarius makes it difficult for these natives to give themselves to love. In addition, the need for freedom makes it even more difficult to establish relationships based on security and harmony.

Therefore, the natives of this sign have a strong tendency to fall into "friendzone" in their relationships - that is, end up becoming more friends than boyfriends. Therefore, it is necessary that the partner has a lot of patience and willingness to teach the affection and the need to show affection.

The downside of Aquarius in career

The main characteristics which can bring problems for Aquarius in his career are related to his need for creative freedom and his intolerance of criticism and orders.

Aquarius can be extremely insubordinate, if he feels embarrassed by his superiors, as well as having difficulty staying in the same job or situation for long if he does not feel that his ideas are being taken into account.

The Downside of Pisces

Pisces is the sign of sensitivity and emotions, being the last of the zodiac and of the water element. Thus, the negative aspects of Pisces reveal themselves precisely in their difficulty to connect with reality.

Piscians avoid difficult situations or those with a lot of material or rational pressure and can be escapist and even a little alienated. Below are better defined the negative aspects of the Piscean, as well as the bad side of Pisces in love and career. Follow along!

Negative aspects of the Piscean

Natives of the sign of Pisces see affectivity as a dream they want to live in. In fact, they live as if life were that image they have created. Thus, Pisceans tend to be escapists, avoiding unpleasant situations and lying to themselves and others, if necessary, so that the world appears less cruel, just as they imagine it to be.

For this reason, while they can be insecure and submissive, they are also manipulative, for they do not allow material truths to suppress their spiritual instincts, making the people who try to hold them feel incapable. Thus, it would be like holding a slippery fish.

The downside of Pisces in love

Pisces is so dreamy and optimistic about love that he runs a serious risk of self-annihilation when he becomes involved in love. He tends to idealise not only the relationship, but also his partner, and so has difficulties in day-to-day life because he cannot see his partner as he really is.

Moreover, because of this escapist character, from an even deeper negative point of view, he can be manipulative and a liar, for he avoids unpleasant situations as much as possible and believes that everything is possible in love, including an eventual betrayal.

Finally, Pisceans are insecure by definition, which makes the relationship have to contain a good deal of affection and companionship so that they feel truly loved.

The downside of Pisces in career

Pisces escapism is what could hinder the native in his career, as well as his hypersensitivity towards people and situations.

Natives of this sign should avoid jobs which require a more cold and rational position, otherwise they will suffer a lot. For this reason they have difficulties in assuming leadership positions, as they are always omitting themselves from issues which they consider difficult.

Thus, they should seek jobs in which their virtues, emotional intelligence and caregiving stand out, such as in the area of health and education.

What is the best way to overcome the bad side of my sign?

One must always remember that all human beings have light and shadow, and illuminating these facets of the shadows that exist is part of the evolutionary process of everyone on Earth.

So, identifying the negative aspects is, without a doubt, the first step to overcome the bad side of your sign. From there, you must begin a work of self-criticism and gradually change attitudes that reinforce the bad characteristics of your sign.

Understand that this is a delicate and time consuming process and don't blame yourself for identifying with these negative points, because this is part of balance, and the shadow is necessary for the light to exist. With time, and mainly by interacting with different people, you will be able to integrate patterns of behavior that are less harmful for you and for those you live with!
