Shadow Sides: THROUGH THE SIGNS

Too often on this site do the astrologers dismiss altogether or rarely acknowledge the shadow side of the zodiac signs. I always see so much mob mentality against (insert worst sign here) and I think it’s often too nuanced and rooted in emotions to be accurate. As astrologers

We have to release the rhetoric that duality only exists amongst Gemini’s or mutable signs or Libra. It’s within every zodiac archetype there is. It’s within every planet and asteroid alike. With this thread I will acknowledge the shadow of all the signs and why they exist.

ARIES SHADOW SIDE: Aries is a sign that is rooted in ROOT! They want it now and quickly. Often they had a parent who was too self absorbed to pay them enough attention so they walk through life with a chip on their shoulder giving everyone what they feel they got. Aries at

Their worst are demanding, cruel, backbiting, harsh, selfish, petty, violently reactive and overly aggressive. Aries energy is also Aries can be deceptive, childish, fake insensitive and arrogant. They want to be 1st and will stop at NOTHING TO ENSURE THEY ARE JEALOUS&RESENTFUL

TAURUS SHADOW SIDE: Taurus is a sign that’s rooted in physicality. This extends past their bodies and into whatever they have around them. This too often includes people and often for their own selfish reasoning. They’re pretty but they’re deadly Taurus uses their innate

Understanding of what feels good, looks, good, smells good and tastes good to draw you in and possess you. They are taught early on that there’s always more where that came from and that could mean you. Taurus are possessive, conniving, dishonest, lying, self centered, cruel

Vindictive, power hungry, attention seeking through means of acquiring status and money, they’re often willing to do anything to convey a certain image of themselves to the world as having it together.

GEMINI SHADOW SIDE : Gemini shadow side comes out because often as children they were bored out of their mind and also were seen as pests to the adults in their lives due to their inquisitive and talkative nature. Because of this, Gemini feels the need to do whatever they

Can to try and gain the attention of people. They do this through means of going all they can to appear as interesting as possible to people. This includes being manipulative, lying, playing games of all sorts, this includes bring flighty, making others of two minds about them,

Being disingenuous, using others how and when they see fit, rampant irresponsibility and even engaging in extremely dangerous behavior just for the fun of it

CANCER SHADOW SIDE: Cancers are major absorbers of energy. A lot of them felt there was responsibility placed on them at a young age from a parent especially if it was a single parent household. Because they can often struggle with finding a sense of home that is balanced
