How to Deal With Disappointment According To Your Zodiac Sign
We all experience disappointment. The feeling of being let down, of having someone not support you, of broken promises, of dreams going unfulfilled, and even of failing yourself.
As we get older, we develop many coping mechanisms that allow us to better deal with this emotion. Your reaction to being disappointed when you were a young child might have been throwing tantrums or emotional breakdowns.
However, as you get older, you find that you are able to fool people into believing that you have not been affected by disappointment.
Sometimes we even use our disappointment as a source of motivation to work harder and change our focus in order to achieve our goals.
According to astrology, each zodiac sign experiences disappointments differently depending on how each individual deals with and then overcomes their setbacks.
Our actions and the way we deal with emotional upsets are heavily influenced by our zodiac signs, and the same is true when it comes to how we move on after being let down by someone or something.
Not every disappointment is processed in the same way because they have different importance levels.
You might not be able to prevent yourself from experiencing disappointment, but you have control over how it makes you feel.
Sometimes we end up with something even better when we don't get what we want. Read on to find out how each sign of the zodiac deals with disappointment:
Aries
Because of his natural optimism, it is hard for Aries to dwell on the negative for a long time. These individuals are all about moving on with their lives and finding something else to focus their attention on.
This might involve taking part in a competition, doing an activity that forces you to step outside of your comfort zone, or a new project.
When Aries devote themselves to an interesting endeavor, they are less likely to allow themselves to be emotionally affected by disappointment.
Taurus
Because Taureans are so stubborn, even the most devastating disappointments do not derail them.
After being hurt by something or someone, Taurus will be compassionate and kind to themselves so that they can recover and move on with their lives.
They know that things do not always turn out the way they would like them to, but that isn't an excuse for them to give up.
Spend some time processing your emotions, but don't let them prevent you from moving forward with your plans.
Gemini
After experiencing disappointment, it is extremely beneficial for Geminis to have a conversation about it with a trusted friend or family member.
It is not healthy for them to bottle up their emotions, as these feelings may resurface at a later time and cause them harm.
Since Geminis are so intelligent, they might learn a lesson or two when talking about their experience with disappointment.
Cancer
It is essential for Cancer to feel their emotions. They are very sensitive, and if they don't process things emotionally, it could have an effect on their behavior and the decisions that they make.
Cancer needs both a safe space and a support network. They may have a hard time moving on from emotions such as rage and intense sadness if they bottle up their disappointment and hold it in.
Leo
Leos, like most of us, experience disappointment on a daily basis in dozens of different forms, but they don't let it get to them.
They are focused on the future and moving on, and they are aware that people are looking to them to lead.
Not only for the sake of themselves but also for the sake of those who look up to them, Leos need to be strong.
This sign is willing to pay the price of being disappointed because he understands that in order to get what he wants and make positive changes, he must pay the price.
Virgo
Virgos are realistic and understand that disappointments are an inevitable part of life. After experiencing disappointment they look for the lesson, they adapt, and they continue to grow.
For this sign, almost anything can be fixed or made better. Finding the necessary lessons, even if they aren't immediately apparent, is of the utmost importance.
With each defeat in life, Virgo gains something new, and eventually, they will use that information to their advantage and become successful.
Libra
Disappointment can hit Libras pretty hard, but eventually, they will try to change their perspective on the matter. They will reformulate it and try to take away its meaning.
They may not have won the lottery this time, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future; it might just be at a different time or in a different set of circumstances.
It is in the best interest of Libra that they do not view disappointment as something that is absolute, but rather as something that is more transient.
Scorpio
Scorpios are far more sensitive than they would like other people to believe, and they have a tendency to bottle up their emotions when experiencing disappointment.
The feeling of disappointment can sometimes turn into as rage or a desire for revenge. It bothers them when there is nothing they can do to change a situation. They take action to make themselves feel better.
Scorpios are wise, well-balanced individuals who constantly work to be in control. They do not subscribe to the idea of feeling sorry for oneself.
Sagittarius
To get over the disappointment, Sagittarius makes plans. They have to have something to look forward to, and they don't like the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of disappointment and frustration.
A Sagittarius' attention and focus are directed toward the activities and things that are certain to bring them happiness. This sign views getting over disappointment as a matter of taking its power out and brushing it off.
Capricorn
Capricorns are practical and experienced individuals who would never succeed in life if they allowed themselves to be derailed by every setback they encountered.
They try not to spend too much time dissecting a disappointment; instead, they focus on discovering what they can learn from it, and putting those lessons into practice.
Capricorns try to understand their part in a disappointment. The point of this is that they want to set themselves up for more successes than disappointments.
Aquarius
Disappointment is not hard for Aquarians to deal with. When you are as creative and innovative as this zodiac sign, disappointments are bound to happen.
For them, it's about distancing themselves from the circumstances of the disappointment and trying to forget it as quickly as possible.
Aquarians are extremely creative people who would rather find a solution to a problem than allow their failures or disappointments to get them down.
Pisces
When Pisces are feeling down, they will try to get involved in activities that they are enthusiastic and passionate about.
This zodiac sign has a tendency to experience extreme emotions, and when faced with disappointment, it may be best for them to avoid giving in to their feelings of sadness.
Instead, Pisces could spend their time getting lost in an art exhibition, helping out in the community, or focusing on their own creative project.
Disappointment can also be a source of inspiration. After all, it's a door that closes, so it forces you to look for other alternatives.
