No matter who you are or where you go, stereotypes will follow you like a dog chasing its tail. And if people happen to find out what your sun sign is, then god save you! Expect to listen to a lot of “Oh, she’s a Taurean, you can’t expect anything else from her,” or “You think she can ever get it right? She’s a Piscean for crying out loud!”
Hurts, doesn’t it?
Well, today we are here to bust these myths that surround your sun sign and put them to rest once and for all with the help of the truth!
1. Aries (21st March – 19th April)
Myth: Aries people are extremely short-tempered and just cannot control their impulses.
Reality: Actually, those who have Aries as their sun sign prove themselves to be great leaders and thinkers. Slightly insecure, they use their cockiness as a defense mechanism.
2. Taurus (20th April – 20th May)
Myth: Inherently lazy, Taureans are also very materialistic and stubborn to boot. Oh, and gluttons too.
Reality: What they have is not materialism but a desire for all the finer things life has to offer. They like to indulge in pretty and pleasant things. When it comes to stubbornness though, well, that can’t be refuted as long as a Taurean is in question.
3. Gemini (21st May – 20th Jun)
Myth: Possessors of a two-faced personality, Geminis are considered to be flaky and unreliable.
Reality: Their ability to adapt to whatever the circumstances are, is often misconstrued as being two-faced when it’s not. They excel in gauging the atmosphere and know how to survive and thrive.
4. Cancer (21st June – 22nd July)
Myth: Crybabies to the core with a whiny and mood nature. And weirdly close to their mothers.
Reality: Cancerians are actually sensitive, and capable of understanding and feeling the emotions of others. They are very helpful, and despite being sensitive, they can be tough, too, when the situation calls for it.
5. Leo (23rd July – 22nd August)
Myth: Self-centered, Leos like to believe that everybody is fond of them and the world is theirs to rule.
Reality: They’re not conceited, they’re really adorable. They have a strong determination and very big hearts. Also, they really care for their loved ones and work hard to provide for them. They are also very protective and won’t spare anyone who tries to mess with their friends or family.
6. Virgo (23rd August – 22nd September)
Myth: With a barely there personality, Virgos are known to be self-righteous and cleanliness freaks.
Reality: Realism runs in their blood, and they are both intelligent and pragmatic. Virgos have a reserved and introverted nature, which can make them appear boring. But once they open up, they can be the life of any party.
7. Libra (23rd September – 22nd October)
Myth: Crazy in the head, with a dreamy ‘idealist’ personality and an indecisive nature.
Reality: They’re surely idealistic but they prioritize truth and knowledge over everything else. What people refer to as crazy is actually their enthusiasm, which knows no bounds when they are excited. They enjoy freedom and independence and have a strong thirst for knowledge.
8. Scorpio (23rd October – 21st November)
Myth: Completely and insanely obsessed with bedroom fun.
Reality: Passion is their word. Scorpions are very sensual and passionate and tend to carry out all their tasks with immense zeal. They are firm believers of the ‘all or nothing’ philosophy, which is why you’ll see them working hard.
9. Sagittarius (22nd November – 21st December)
Myth: Casanovas who just won’t commit even if you put a gun to their head. Sarcasm personified.
Reality: Sagittarians are far from commitment-phobes. They simply love experiencing everything there is to experience and love trying out new things. They have great a sense of humor and an optimistic attitude. Plus, they possess an unbound spirit that can be attributed to their explorative nature.
10. Capricorn (22nd December – 19th January)
Myth: No emotions. Entirely boring. Nothing to see here.
Reality: Capricorns are familiar with the universal truth of working hard and persevering to get anywhere in life, which is what makes them seem boring. On the upside though, they achieve success in whatever they do.
11. Aquarius (20th January – 18th February)
Myth: Another emotionless kind, Aquarians also act distant all the time.
Reality: Distant is not the right term for Aquarians – ‘independence’ is! They are very self-sufficient, with an intense wanderlust and a free spirit to boot. Hippies from the inside, they believe in fighting for a cause.
12. Pisces (19th February – 20th March)
Myth: Fishy (fish-like to be honest) and kind of a drama queen.
Reality: Fishy for sure because just like their water-loving counterparts, they’re always cool. They are into the arts and can be identified as an old soul. Creative as they are, they view the world as a blank canvas. They are attention seekers.
