ARIES
Aries does not believe that anything bad can last forever, so when they find themselves facing negative problems, they just put their foot forward, confident that no matter how many times they fail along the way, things will work out in their favor. They can handle breakups and layoffs better than anyone you know. They have the power to reciprocate the spirit of a professional skateboarder or rodeo star. They know that it is impossible to taste glory without feeling the sting of being removed several times. Their secret is that they give themselves time to feel disappointment along the way, but not let it stop them from getting back up. That duality of allowing yourself to feel hope in the face of despair, understanding that both feelings exist in parallel with and because of each other, is what allows them to come out ahead.
AQUARIUS
Aquarius is always optimistic when faced with difficulties because they know how to look for the good in people in any situation. When they find themselves in conflict, they look for the one good thing they can hold on to. They know that it doesn’t excuse bad traits or make them disappear, but it helps them hold on to something better. Time changes everything, so even if there is nothing they can do to provide a quick fix, that one nice detail is a reminder that something good will happen and will happen every day. Finding that one good thing means that other good things are on the way and can happen to us, even in the midst of our personal struggles. It is not faith, spirituality, superstition or manifestation. The possibilities are simple. In the roulette wheel of life, even if you have been sitting on the black spot many times in a row, there is still a 50% chance that next time you will land on red.
CANCER
Cancer tends to be at a higher level when faced with difficulties, because they are likely to see the worst. They don’t try to talk themselves out of their feelings versus some kind of emotional level, but they remind themselves that if they get through that last problem, they can just do it in one piece with their heads held high. They are tough cookies who know how to separate their feelings from the actions of others. They will always speak and do what they believe is right, knowing that they cannot control how others react. It is enough for them to give their best performance every time, having learned through practice to find inner satisfaction instead of relying on external approval. There is nothing they cannot achieve when they become their own north star.
TAURUS
Taurus takes gold in humility. When faced with difficulties, they know what will work best as a balm for that particular type of failure. Sometimes a bath, sometimes a glass of champagne. Sometimes a few kind words are directed at their reflection in the mirror. No matter what we are, they hope that no matter the circumstances, there must be one thing, no matter how small, that can make things even better. And Taurus is blessed with a good sense of not suffering unnecessarily. So even if it comes to eating normal food, they will not be hungry again dismissed out of pure stubbornness. The trait they are best known for does not extend to their self-care. They take that responsibility very seriously and benefit from it.
