5 Zodiac Signs Who Carry Too Much Emotional Baggage

Carrying emotional baggage can have serious consequences on your emotional, spiritual, and even physical well-being. Some Zodiac Signs are more likely to hold on to old hurts than others. Are you one of them?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus, your main challenge is overcoming your stubborn tendencies. You can’t let go of old arguments when you know you were in the right. Once you get a notion in your head, nothing short of a miracle will make you change your mind.

Holding onto those issues does no one any good–and it might be doing you a great deal of harm. If you keep stubbornly insisting that you are right and everyone else is wrong, you may find that your relationships suffer. The stress can also contribute to a host of health problems.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Although some people might think of Cancers as deeply emotional, empathetic people, they forget that you are also a fiercely protective Zodiac Sign. If someone hurts your loved ones, you will remember it every time you interact with them in the future.

In addition, you never, ever forget a slight or disappointment. Even when it might not have been intentional. Make like Elsa and let that stuff go, Cancer. It’s not worth holding on to all that spite.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgo, your tendency to hold on to every mistake, no matter how minor, is literally hazardous to your health. Stress is a major factor in many health problems, and it isn’t helping you perform better under pressure, no matter what you think.

No one else notices your mistakes and imperfections the way you do, Virgo. Don’t be so hard on yourself and accept that no one–not even you–is perfect.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

If there was a world championship for holding grudges, you’d win it. That’s not really a compliment, Scorpio! If someone wrongs you, can you consider just letting it go instead of holding on to that anger? You truly won’t be able to move forward if you’re carrying all of that negativity.

Sure, there are some things that are unforgivable, but you never forgive anyone for anything. At some point, you’re only punishing yourself by keeping those grudges alive.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

The world can be a tough place for someone as sensitive as you, Pisces. Careless comments, mild criticism, conversations that felt awkward… you hold on to all of it. In fact, you rehearse and rehash those painful moments, making you feel worse every time you think about them.

While it’s not very helpful to tell a Pisces to develop a thicker hide, it is possible for you to practice letting go of all that emotional baggage.
