that list is pure junk btw.
they put virgo above sagg as being an easier sign. LMAO really? that alone discredits the entire list. what a bunch of cat lady astrologers.

no facts nor logic. idiyats.


Feel free to make a signs most likely to kill themselves list since other views would be bunk.

They mixed Aqua and Pisces in the process of speed-typing.


wut? Aqua is pretty easy, at least once you grow into your sun/moon etc.
why would you place it as the hardest?

-snickers-
1. Virgo
My astrological job is to make everything perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect. I have failed before I have begun, yet this goal does not change. The world is so big and I am so small. I must be small so as not to intrude on others. When I try to share my goal of perfection with others, they become upset. I want to help them. But I want my world to be small, and manageable. I want to hide, but I want to help. I feel unappreciated. I am never good enough.
2. Capricorn
I'm always covering up my pain and burying it deep inside. I must remain strong and impenetrable. I must climb. I must rise. I must acquire all that I desire and rise above the rest. What I desire happens to be the top, btw. Status. POWER. At the top, no one can push me around. My disgrace of a boss? I can laugh at him from there. What boss? I am THE MAN. And I deserve it too, because I have WORKED for what I have and I will WORK for what I need, that I do not yet have. Seemingly unrelated events touch on my buttons, now and then, and I let loose my temper. It is uncouth but they deserve it for teasing me like that. How dare anyone expose my weakness. I have thorns, buried deep inside, of whose origins even I don't remember. I must bury them deeper. I must save face. I am the strongest, but I must become stronger. I must show no weaknesses. I must rise. I must climb.
3. Pisces
I am pure empathy. I walk into a room full of some overwhelming emotion, and I BECOME that emotion, and carry it with me throughout the rest of the day. I can wear rose-colored glasses as someone picks my pocket. I can have heart-wrenching depression, while all around me is lovely and sweet. I am not in control of my own emotions. I am everyone else's emotions. I am one with THE ALL and have no protection whatsoever. I am the human sponge. I see through the veils to the ether-realms, and my imagination is rich and vivid. I have an incredibly hard time telling fact from fantasy, because the edge between genius and insanity is razor-thin. I am fragile. My euphoria is blessed and my depression is suicidal.
4. Libra
I am in love with love itself. I seek the beautiful, the serene, and the calm. I am ever charming and polite. I am a social butterfly, visiting everyone at the party, making sure none are left out. Everyone is happy. Everyone is comfortable. There's not too much on the right or the left, or on the top or on the bottom. I have made sure of this. I am the balancer of all things. I weigh all my options carefullly and then when I do decide, I am still easily swayed. People call me wishy-washy. They tell me to come down off the fence. The fence is safe, though. The fence doesn't make anyone mad for choosing one over the other. The fence also gives me a good vantage point, where I can see all sides of all situations. If more people spent a longer time up here, they'd understand. I love to compromise and I wish to instill this in others. I want both sides to be happy. My astrological job is to balance both sides, but each side keeps upsetting the balance! No one can just be calm and happy, it seems. People who are angry take their rage out on others and this upsets me. It is unjust. I try to poke at this scary thing a little. I try to involve people into pinpointing the problem so it might go away, but they get mad. I'd like to sweep it under the rug, but it keeps coming back. I want for everyone and everything to be peaceful and fair. This is a hard task, and I am not up to the challenge. When my environment is too unbalanced, I become physically sick and emotionally unwell.
5. Scorpio
No one understands me. Heck, half the time I don't understand myself. I need to understand the world. I am a stubborn, fixed sign, yet I am the catalyst of change and chaos. I am a paradox. In order to understand me, as with EVERYTHING to do with me, you must dig deeper. You must be interested and understanding of how the emotions tick... whether biological, metaphysical, or spiritual. All of it. Dig deep, sit still, and look quietly. There are termites living in the walls of the one I love. I point them out and the one I love hides them deeper because they don't want anyone to know. Termites are inappropriate. Termites might make them less sociably acceptable. Therefore, they have no termites. But I see termites living in the walls of the one I love. I am compelled, like LIGHTNING, to strike down the walls and expose the termites for eradication. Because termites could weaken the FLOORS of the one I love and KILL them in their sleep. When I strike down the walls and expose their termites, the one I love hates me because they have lost face. I was horrible to them. But they are alive, and the termites are gone. I am pleased because they are alive, and stronger than before. I am no longer allowed contact with them. But I watch them from afar. Eventually, I thrive off of change and chaos itself. I get thrills from exposing termites, and watching transformations. I love the deep and the dark and the eerily gritty. I am compelled to look, and to understand, all which is menacing and potentially threatening. Mostly for protection from it. Some of it I absorb. It is easy to fall into excess of the darkness and become consumed by it. Everyone knows of the dark side of Scorpio. In seeking change, I seek it not for GOOD but for my fascination of it, and in this I become the darkness. I am vengeful and manipulative. At my highest, I become the lightning. I am powerful. The small and the meek fear me, and those in power see me as the threat I really am. But I am not interested in their perversion of power. I am like lightning, powerful yet free. I simply will not do their bidding. I do not bend to their will. My circle of friends is small. It is those I respect, and those I protect. I do not trust easily. The thing I hate most is the loss of control. Of myself. Of those I love. The thing I truly fear... is letting go.
6. Cancer
I see a poor, wet, dripping animal outside in the rain, and I feel cold. I'm inside where it's warm, but suddenly I feel cold. I am HIGHLY emotional. The world is just so cold-hearted and uncaring, it sickens me. I need to hug and to cuddle and to protect those I love. I must attack all cold-hearted aggressors and keep them away from those I love. Most of all, from me. Don't you dare hurt me with your sick, twisted logic. You can't get past my shell, and I have pincers! I feel so alone. I need more people around me who love me, but it is hard to find people who I want to love.
7. Leo
People call me vain. Well, why shouldn't I be? In every room all eyes are on me. I am the center of attention whether I like it or not! I am gorgeous and energetic and people just sort of hand responsibilities to me... as if I should lead them or something... how draining! Well, I'll do it anyway, because they don't need me to do all the nitty gritty details which would weigh me down. I just need to be the spokesperson and oh YES, give me that microphone! I AM the one for the job! I excell in brightening the room and being the spotlight for all. I project warmth and gregarity. I am inviting to all. My tastes are rich and royal, and I can spend a lot! This is my only real stressor: when funds are low. But it doesn't happen often. Leading the flock, which comes naturally to me, tends to pay well. Problem solved. But they get jealous easily. They want me to do the nitty gritty details after awhile, which weighs me down and drains my energy. I need that energy to lead them to better pastures. Don't they know?
8. Aquarius
Why does no one understand that all we need to do is move forward, together? Progress for all, with all! I am the most amazing public speaker because what I really truly want, deep inside (and also projected loudly), is for everyone to be included and for everyone included, to benefit. Salvation for all of mankind. I am motivational. I hunt for the right benefactors and strive to invent something of use. I am all over the place in my ideas of what can help. I am downright enlightened! But I have difficulty connecting on a personal level with people. Why bother? If I slow down to focus on the small things, I might lose sight of the bigger picture. My biggest difficulty is everyone I let close to me, presses in on me and tries to make me conform.
9. Sagittarius
It is hard to find someone to love, deeply, because I give everyone sex so easily, they see me as cheap. I 'give it up' because it's fun and it's a good way to get to know someone. They think I'm enamored by them with so little effort, they see no reason to keep me interested. And they become rude and dismissive, or I become bored. I am always bored. Everything is so interesting, but everything interesting is so far away! I need to travel more. I need to explore and learn all that there is. I am the BEST at trivia! Why is no one as interested in all this fascinating knowledge? I am the life of the party, spouting off all these various subjects, but over time they are annoyed because they can't get a word in edgewise. I am exciting, and excitable, but easily bored. I need to learn more. I need to travel, and to explore. I am restless. There is not enough time in this life for all that I want to do and to see and to know. If something is too heavy for me, I simply put it down and move on.
10. Gemini
I multitask to the point of insanity, and then I go-go-go some more! I fairly CRACKLE with energy and mental agility. I am amazing to the slower folks (read: everyone) and some can get tired just watchng me. I'm quirky and gain the interest of many, but most cannot keep up. I see all these interesting places to go and exciting things to do, and I invite everyone I know. Let's go, let's go-go-GO! They cannot keep up, but that's alright. I'll meet more along the way. Let's do this thing! What is that, with your confusing, muddling emotions? You're sad? You're angry? Why? I just don't get it.
11. Aries
It's my way or the highway, baby.
12.Taurus
What I want is simple. I want the things that feel good, smell good, and taste good. I know how to get them no matter my economical stature, too. It's not typically expensive but it can be if I have enough to splurge. I work hard, but I am not hard on myself or on others. I save for the future and find security in a home that will be with me for the long haul. I can take a lot of pressure. I enjoy my work which is methodical and steady. I am easy to please: just make sure it's simple creature comforts. Nothing too over the top. I am sentimental. I crave stability. If you try to make me do something I don't want to do, I will just not budge. That's it. No fight necessary. Eventually you will give up because no one is more steadfast than me. I am the epitome of the phrase, "The way to a man's heart is through his belly."
Was that written by a Taurus?
lol @ the picture in the article
I don't understand how Pisces would be considered the hardest because according to all of the Pisces here there is no other sign they would consider being.
Every time one of those "what sign would you rather..." threads pop up the Pisces peeps all declare they would never.

Either they're all collective too high on Neptune to feel the pains of reality anymore...
OR
The writer isn't a Pisces.

lol Big Grin I'll go with they not being Pisces smile
With a very few exceptions, the Pisces who post here seem sensible and grounded. I think so anyway.
Pisces I know personally (females) seem the same way, altho one described her near death/with/white light experience with a lot more detail than expected Big Grin
I hadn't known her for very long either.

Kim K begs to differ.




she has a Water Moon. That's like lifetime torture for an Air Sign.

tell me about it, combined with the rest of my chart pretty much on fire, my poor Libra Sun has really a hard time keeping her rational nature in place and her scales in balance

"We let them underestimate us."


That reminded me of my childhood Libra girl friend. She has Libra written all over her.
Few month ago, she had troubles on her workplace. Basically some females in her office were giving her a hard time. She was always forgiving, nice to the core, tried to talk it out with reason, sweet, polite....some fools would say naive. That's the funny part. I ENJOYED watching her serving her closure to that ugly story, in the most polite yet cold way, with each argument in it's place. She pulled the carpet under their feets with elegance and grace, leaving them in absolute shock.
Her coworkers were ashamed and quite surprised. They didn't expected that such a nice and forgiving person can pull such a cold and hard (yet justful) move.

I love venusian people. They're so chilled out! My childhood friend is a taurus. Our favorite past time is eating. lol We used to be neighbors and she'd call me at the middle of the night and ask me what I had for dinner then tell me to come out and bring her some leftovers. I miss those days!

Haha, you can only get a call like that from a Venus person. I have it similar with my Libra friend. Have to promise to buy snacks before she comes over. I understand!

Brings memory... Back in elementary school, me and my best friend Libra would have this ritual talking over the phone in the evenings, for hours, along with the bowl of popcorn or pancakes. I remember standing in front of the fridge with the phone and discussing with her whats on the menu for today's chatter. Food was a must!
Ahhh good times, we had some serious laughs.
It's hard out there for a Virgo..
Posted by Sugarfoot
I think its easy being me. I don't let a lot of things bother me too much. Some things do. Not a lot.
I think it's hardest to be a water sign. Mainly scorpio. People around them are always dying. Lot's of scorps I know, mother either died when they were very young or they were abandoned by her at a young age.
I've never lost anyone I was very close to yet. I'll be 35 this year.


Hmmmm.... Interesting... My parents are still living, but I know another sign who lost two family members and one is sick right now... The person is a fire sign.
Number 1, brought up by 11 and 12. Sister's a 10.
Now I see why they called me difficult smile.
Its quite easy being a Sag
Awesome thread!!
Thanks for sharing the article. I enjoyed reading it.
Scorpios would rather end a relationship than be a fool who lets someone hurt them twice. Knowing how they operate, they are careful about entering into relationships in the first place. They can actually make people uncomfortable with their probing questions and intense, direct eye contact that they use to gauge people. They are the most suspicious and distrustful sign, which protects them from pain but also causes them to miss out on relationships that could be enjoyable if they could just be more open, forgiving and trusting.
This sums up my life in a nutshell :')
It's hard for me. Sad
It gets harder as I get older.
However, the sensitivities have dulled some.
I feel stronger emotionally, but the passion and intensity are still there.

The bulls I know have a tough life, they don't deserve the position they're in. I also disagree with Capricorn being #2 and Pisces being #1.

Being an Aqua is the easiest. The detachment that everyone mentions time and time again really comes in handy. Stress is virtually non-existent for us. Tongue

What detachment, and where do you get this from?

It's one of the overstated generalizations of our sign. I'm also an Aqua.

i dunno. I get REALLY stressed out if i'm NOT in a safe, secure, calm environment. The noisey busy crazy chaotic type of environment makes me nervous and afraid and i feel like i wanna escape.
If i'm in a very calm and safe environment, i'm very very happy and stress free. Otherwise i will stress like crazy and cry. That's why i make sure i'm in a good and safe environment. Living environment also helps alot.
The water signs are taking a beating in these rankings. I think you hurt my feelings...I hope you know I'm not going to forgive you...and I will remember this ten years later when I come back to this thread to let you know how much I'm still hurting. LMAO

Its an assumption based upon retirees, in my opionion.
Lol.
It sure doesn't speak for MOST aquarians I know.

I knew someone very well who had Aqua Moon, Aqua Rising. At the time I didn't know his chart, only his Sun, so I couldn't make any astrological assumption.
Btw, Aquas in 'thinking mode' are ADORABLE!
He would seem, at times, to take the stresses and the horrors of the whole wide world upon his shoulders and vocalize about how things need to change. And he would stew. And this thing that was bothering him would continue to bother him, until he eventually melted his attentions into one of many different pieces of projects lying all around. Sometimes it came back between projects, sometimes not, and sometimes it was a whole new stressor of the world. His detachment was more in personal relationships. Someone close to him has some horrible thing happen to them? He HIMSELF would have something horrible happen to him? Oh, that's bad, but once the physical pain subsides (if there was any)... he's all better fairly quickly. My brother has Aqua Moon too and to a lesser degree, this matches him as well. Although he takes personal slights harder, they're gone quickly too.

That's why I couldn't put Aqua as easiest in the new list. 0:-) They've got some things easy but some things not. As far as Aries' description being short? That was a PUN on the stereotypical simplicity Aries strives for. Big Grin (Also by then I'd gotten lazy.) No harm intended, and I apologize for hard feelings. But also know, I tend to have a habit... of never describing signs by SUN SIGN alone. ^_^
Haha @NCcrab, so true, so very true. I'd agree with the list as Cap and Pisces being up there. As a Cap, its not easy having gloom and doom Saturn following you around just naturally and so we're stuck with that. For Pisces, they struggle with the world and their emotions. Their emotions are so strong. Think of Kurt Cobain and Chopin, they must have felt deeply if their music represents how they feel. Oh and Cancer because the world just doesn't understand them, and there's not enough food to drown their sorrows in. Scorpio because they have to freaking overcome the world including all of its pettiness and come out loving others with the same raging water energy they have. So yep. I wish I were sag or similar, just laugh our way through life.
Soo true @Rollergirl, the world is just not ready for our depth. If they only knew the constant ups and downs of being a water sign, they may be alittle bit more sympathetic. I don't know about you Caps though. I can't find any hope for you if all you see is gloom and doom. LOL

you can't just go by sun sign alone.
I met a sag girl back in school and she became independent because her mother abandoned her brothers and her. Her mother was a drug addict, and so they had to fend for themselves alone. She worked her way in her teens as a waitress full time, and because of her upbringing or lack of it -- her mother was never there for her or her brothers. But she was a light of beacon for her brothers so when they were down and out they went to her for a place to stay temporarily. She tried to tell them that they had to work and do stuff on their own too because it is hard for her even as a single young woman in the world. She also got into drug addiction, unfortunately. She never thought she was that type because she hated what her mother was. But she'd buy marijuana weekly and she's not buying it for medicinal purposes either. She said it helped her unwind and not think about her life as miserable as it was. her sun sign was sunny and warm and she laughed all the time and had a warmth about her but to those who she let into her life, there was a deep sadness. So it's more than sun sign. And i don't know her chart but i remember it was around middle december. She came and went into my life, and some people you just remember because of their sadness and sorrow.
maybe some of you all should meet more people out there, go into places that are darker, neighborhoods where people normally don't go to. To understand the darkness - how people are raised and how they are affected by the lack of love.
^^^WOW! An entertaining little thread just got so depressing. Goes to show how the slightest things can bring a person's mood down. Life of a cancer Sad

Good point: Our signs don't necessarily dictate our circumstances, and hardship is no respecter of
zodiacal placement.

^^^Soo lost right now.
I'm late to the convo but I feel like Capricorn in it's purest form is pretty difficult to be and generally to deal with. Though as time goes on it has gotten easier. We are referred as Mountain and Seagoats BC the highs and lows that come from "reaching the top if the mountain. Over time I've tried to be more Libra like especially this year to avoid those peaks and valleys and be more people friendly. I still work way too much but working with people and sacrificing selfish interests definitely have allowed my quality of life to enhance astronomically.
I definitely believe environment and circumstances affect people. We are speaking about generalities not absolutes. Astrology never makes you do anything, though I do think it gives blessings and challenges regardless of environment. The entire chart should always be considered. I will say I can't name a single famous Capricorn who had a good or easy childhood outside of Tiger Woods and maybe Ben Franklin (I have no idea).
From Taurus side. Yeah hard at times. But I am easy going, free flowing, simple fore the most part. Yet thats too hard for most people to understand.. Definitely communication is needed to explain our behaviours.
