Fire signs - The fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are headstrong and creative. They are great leaders, but they're sometimes let down but their love for attention.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

Confident and headstrong, Aries babies are natural-born leaders. They fear being wrong more than anything, and they don't like their authority being challenged.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

The reality is, of course, that we're all wrong sometimes. Aries would do well to realize that admitting this does not demean their confidence or power.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Leos enjoy the spotlight. They adore for others to watch them, but, more than that, they love to be praised.

© Shutterstock

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Leos tend, unfortunately, to draw their sense of self-worth from the opinions of others. The more you can train yourself out of this tendency, Leo, the better.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

The original rebel without a cause, Sagittarius hates being told what to do. Their biggest fear is someone else getting in the way of their dreams and goals.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

Sags strongly dislike being controlled and they hold their freedom to travel dear. It wouldn't hurt for them to appreciate their home and local culture sometimes, too, though.

Air signs - The air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) are easily bored. They fear monotony as well as anything average; excitement is the name of the game for these sociable signs.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Flighty and impatient, Gemini doesn't like to be tied down. People born under this sign hate being stuck in a rut or finding themselves with a monotonous routine.

© Shutterstock

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

The problem is that life can't be exciting all the time. Gemini would do well to recognize that downtime is important for deeper and more meaningful growth.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

Libras tend to be easygoing, but they also like balance. They tread with excessive caution around anything that might throw their life off kilter.

© Shutterstock

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

However, the inevitable ups and downs of life mean that a permanent state of peace and comfort is impossible. Libra must come to terms with this reality.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Another rebellious sign, Aquarius' biggest fear is blending into the crowd. It is unthinkable in the mind of the Aquarian that they might not be some sort of revolutionary.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Aquarians are often scared they won't shake things up or raise any eyebrows. This fear becomes a gift when they realize their extreme creativity already sets them apart from the crowd.

Water signs -

The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most emotional astute of the star signs. Their deepest fears tend to be related to their personal relationships.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 21–July 22) -

For people born in Cancer, personal relationships are sacrosanct. Life is all about those deep connections, and Cancers fear being alone above all else.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 21–July 22) -

Of course, friends and family are great. It wouldn't hurt a Cancer to also get to grips with the benefits of alone time, however.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Of all the star signs, Scorpio has the most darkness within. Scorpios often find it difficult to open up to others, for fear of being perceived as depressing or weird.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Scorpios will always grow, however, when they learn that no one's soul is without darkness, and that most of us can relate to most other people on some level.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Of all the zodiac signs, Pisces is the biggest idealist. People born under this sign fear being unloved or misunderstood in this cold and calculating world.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Pisces often thrive when they realize that their ultimate purpose is not to give in to negativity and fear, but to overcome it. They are often able to brighten others' outlook on life.

Earth signs - And finally, the earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Practical, yet ambitious, these signs are fearful of anything that might get in the way of their achievements.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

Tauruses are the rock stars of personal finance, not least because their greatest fear is not being able to achieve their due to financial constraints.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

For this reason, Tauruses tend to be quite risk-averse. It wouldn't hurt for them to go out on a limb once in a while and risk it for the biscuit!

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Virgos are broad-spectrum perfectionists. They strive for greatness in all areas of their lives, and they are afraid, above all, of being rejected.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Virgos tend to define themselves based on what they have accomplished, but that's not always healthy. A focus on inner development also goes a long way.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Capricorn is the most ambitious sign of the zodiac. Caps fear feeling small and insignificant above all else.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

The Caps were those kids who used to cry at school over not getting an A. It is important for them to learn that self-worth should not be fully derived from work performance.
