Which Superstition You Believe In According to Your Zodiac Sign
Are you superstitious? Do you believe in bad luck? Perhaps you're more superstitious than you think you are if you catch yourself avoiding ladders and making sure you don't open the umbrella before you get to the door.
You don't give it much thought because, like your mother, grandmother, and uncle before you, you have always engaged in superstitious rituals without giving them much thought.
But exactly that is the sort of superstition that you subscribe to without even being aware of it. We all follow certain rituals and superstitions in the hopes of warding off misfortune.
You are not even aware of the fact that you are somewhat superstitious, but believe me when I say that you are (at least a little), and your zodiac sign may be able to explain why.
Each zodiac sign is said to be associated with a certain set of characteristics and personalities, ranging from a strong will to anxiety. Some people deal with numerology but do not even realize that they are doing it.
They try to improve their chances of luck in a variety of different ways, such as including a “lucky number” on their sports jerseys or wearing a certain hat.
Even though not all of our superstitions are rational, we continue to follow them anyway. It is simply an aspect of who you are, and it is something that is determined by the time in which you were born.
Aries
A “lucky charm”.
This sign must always win. Aries unconsciously attract a “lucky charm,” whether it be for a game, a contest, or even something insignificant.
It's just their competitive nature mixed with old superstitions, and he won't part with that good luck charm anytime soon.
If you are dating an Aries, you should pay attention to whether or not he wears the same bracelet or shoes from the first date. It might be due their superstitions.
Taurus
They believe in “beginner's luck.”
I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, Taurus, but your stubbornness gives rise to superstition. Did someone beat a Taurus at its own game? It wasn't skill; it was just beginner's luck.
Some people will say that it is impossible for a beginner to be that good. Taurus is very stubborn, which means you're just lucky and not a prodigy.
Gemini
They avoid walking under a ladder.
Walking under the ladder makes a lot of people nervous, especially Gemini. That will bring you nothing but bad fortune. Geminis are naturally nervous people who will avoid anything that could make their situation worse.
Being unlucky for seven years is a nightmare for them.
Cancer
They don't step on a crack because they break their mother's back
You still follow that silly line you used to sing when you were a kid. Cancer is a sign that is known for its strong emotions and sentiments, they're very protective of their families.
Even the smallest possibility that something bad might happen to their mother or another family member is enough to keep him from ever stepping on any cracks.
Leo
They don't break a mirror
You can always catch Leo looking at himself in any mirror he comes across. Leos are confident and can be a little vain, but they make sure they always look their best.
It is easy to understand why Leo would be worried about breaking a mirror. They don't want years of bad luck.
Virgo
If they find a penny upside down, their day is saved.
Virgos are known to pay attention to even the smallest details. She's probably the friend who keeps finding pennies on the floor.
She picks them up while they are upside down because that's when they're considered lucky. Superstitions, just like details, are an important part of Virgo's personality.
Libra
They hate black cats
When it comes to superstitions, seeing a black cat is synonymous with nothing but bad luck. Through the course of history, they have been linked to demise and ill fortune, and to this day, black cats continue to have the lowest adoption rate of any other type of cat in shelters.
Libras hate death and being alone, so they avoid black cats. This sign wouldn't help but blame itself if someone died after they saw a black cat on the streets days ago.
If your girlfriend is a Libra, you should probably not give her a black cat as a present, regardless of how adorable the cat may be.
Scorpio
They make wishes when they see shooting stars
Scorpios are passionate individuals who try to suppress their emotions for as long as they can.
Making a wish after seeing a shooting star is a great way for them to release their unspoken words without having to show others how they express their feelings.
They don't want to be seen showing emotions. If a Scorpio sees a shooting star, it will be much easier for them to make a wish, and they won't have to tell a single person that they are struggling with depression or that they need a new job.
Sagittarius
They are afraid of Friday the 13th.
Those born under the sign of Sagittarius enjoy an exciting journey. He is prepared to get up whenever it is necessary, except on Friday the 13th.
When the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, you can be sure that something unlucky is going to happen. On this day, Sagittarians try their best to avoid risky activities like flying, camping, or hiking.
Your Sagittarius friend simply does not want to die in a tragic accident, such as a plane crash or a murder in the woods so they do anything they can to prevent it.
Capricorn
They refuse to open an umbrella in the house
Capricorns enjoy being prepared, even over-prepared. Does your boyfriend always take a jacket with him when he goes out? There's a good chance that he's a Capricorn.
Even though he always has an umbrella with him, you will never catch him opening it up inside of a building, even though he always carries one with him.
Aquarius
They practice numerology
Bad luck comes in threes, and Aquarius wants nothing to do with it. As a problem solver, this sign loves numbers – to a degree.
He is so scared of numbers like 666 that he feels compelled to buy another thing when their total value is 6.66$.
Don't be surprised if an Aquarius is convinced that they chose the wrong major because they failed three tests in a row.
Pisces
They always say “health” after someone sneezes
Pisces has a constant need for the company of others. They enjoy being of assistance to others and have a genuine desire to see others achieve their goals.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that they are probably the ones who yell “health” at complete strangers in a coffee shop after they sneeze.
They're just trying to make sure the sneeze doesn't end with a run of bad luck.
