This Is How You Are Most Likely To Handle Your Sadness, Based On Your Zodiac ...

[MysteRy]

Sadness is a common, yet difficult emotion to deal with. It’s one of those emotions that gets chronic and leads to destructive tendencies, especially if we don’t want to deal with it, or rather, don’t know how to resolve it.

Each one of us has specific ways to deal with this particular emotion. Some of us don’t talk about it and seek distraction elsewhere. Some of us shut down completely and isolate ourselves from our friends and family. And then there are those of us who don’t even realize that we’re feeling sad.

While every individual may have different coping mechanisms, there are still some marked similarities on how people under specific astrological signs deal with this deep emotion. Learning to recognize and understand how each zodiac sign reacts psychologically to sadness can greatly help in overcoming sadness faster.



Ayurveda dictates that astrological signs may be divided into three constitutions or doshas – Vata (air), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth). The astrological signs can be divided under these three doshas as follows:

Vata: Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius
Pitta: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, and Scorpio
Kapha: Taurus, Cancer, and Pisces

These doshas can, to a large extent help us predict how each zodiac sign perceives and handles sadness. For instance:

A vata type faces great difficulty in concentrating and seeks to be quickly satisfied in his needs.
A kapha type is often slow in action and is calm and thoughtful by nature.
A pitta type is more or less well-balanced, tends to like a lot of activity and can have a horrible temper.

How Each Zodiac Sign Deals With Their Sadness

Now that we’ve established the role of doshas in the temperamental constitution of zodiac signs, we can proceed to address how each one copes with their sadness and how they can manage their emotions better when going through a stormy spell.

Aries people fall under the pitta or the fire dosha. Their fiery personality makes them impulsive and are often blinded by rage. They become less enthusiastic about life and often tend to mask their sadness with an angry demeanor.

It would be helpful for people falling under this zodiac sign to ask themselves if being impulsive will really help serve their purpose. This will help them be more conscious not just of their thoughts but also of the consequences of their actions.

Meditation may also help Aries people get better in touch with their emotions, especially rage and sadness.

Taureans fall under the kapha or the earth dosha. They tend to isolate themselves when sad. They may even start eating their emotions. As a result, they become lethargic and take on a “me against the world” attitude. Because they lack patience, they are often very easy to enrage.

It may help Taureans to confide in a trusted friend, a family member, or a professional counselor. Talking about sadness can help lighten the mind and this may help them cope better with the pain they’re feeling.

[MysteRy]

Gemini people belong to the vata or the air dosha. These people tend to become very quiet and start overthinking a lot, almost as if they’re in a world of their own. They can’t really tolerate sadness and very often seek to find ways to dissociate from their feelings.

With all that overthinking, it’ll be good for Gemini people to look for ways to help relax their minds. An effective way for a Gemini to deal with sadness is to journal. This is an excellent way to organize your thoughts and let it out of your system, and it will also help them introspect and see if things are really as bad as they’re making it out to be.

Cancerians belong to the kapha or the earth dosha. They are very emotional people and tend to seek attention. They’re often known to cry easily, even for very trivial things. Very often, Cancer people suffer from stomach aches when they’re facing prolonged periods of sadness.

Since cancer people tend to feel disconnected from the people around them when they’re sad, it would do them good to join a support group. This will open up a chance to connect with people going through similar feelings and they won’t feel alone anymore.

Exercises like jogging or yoga, taking the time to connect with nature, and praying can help make Cancerians feel more grounded. Volunteering at an old age or a children’s home may also help them use their sensitive emotions for the greater good and serve as a source of healthy distraction from their sadness.

[MysteRy]

Like Aries, Leo people also fall under the pitta or the fire dosha. They are also extremely short-tempered, and may even experience a panic attack when distressed. They are also very prone to acting martyr-like.

The good thing about people falling under this zodiac is that they’re usually very quick to get over negative emotions like sadness. Focusing on creative activities like writing and painting can help such people deal with their sadness better.

[MysteRy]

Virgo people fall under the vata or the air dosha. They prefer being left alone when they’re sad, and very often, find themselves engaging in actions out of compulsion so as to distract themselves. They also become unresponsive and look for the tiniest opportunities to pick a fight when engaging in conversation.

Journaling, reading, meditation, and prayer are some healthy ways for Virgos to reach out to their inner selves and acknowledge the fact that they’re unhappy about something.

Once they learn to connect with the awareness that they aren’t feeling too happy, they will find themselves in better control of their sadness. This will help them make a conscious effort to not lash out and hurt the people around them.

[MysteRy]

Librans fall under the vata or the air dosha. They often feel the pressure of having to maintain their cheerful demeanor since they take pride in their reputation of being happy and positive people. Because of this pressure to remain jovial beings even when they’re sad on the inside, Librans go through some very unstable moods.

It is important for Librans to understand that it’s okay to take some time out from socializing if you want to be alone. Learning to unburden themselves of their social image will benefit them greatly since it will help them focus more on themselves, rather than on what people think of them.

It is also important to realize that we don’t become lesser human beings by being sad. It is a natural emotion that anyone can face and that it is unfair to expect oneself to be happy all the time.

Scorpions belong to the pitta or the fire dosha. They isolate themselves when sad, become unnecessarily hostile and can have some very nasty mood swings. Often, they become melancholy and paranoid, to the extent that even their own thoughts become scary to them.

It is best for scorpions to keep to themselves when they’re sad. They will find that by spending time with themselves, they can make better sense of their emotions. Not only will this teach them to manage their emotions on their own, but will also prevent them from hurting other people’s feelings and regretting it later on.

[MysteRy]

Sagittarians belong to the pitta or the fire dosha. When upset, they tend to turn to substances as a means of distraction and allow themselves to get very lethargic. They also become tense and intolerant and often find themselves plagued with worries about the future.

While Sagittarius people prefer not discussing their emotions with people, turning to a trusted friend or counselor can be very beneficial for them.

[MysteRy]

Capricorn people fall under the air or the vata dosha. They tend to become unmotivated and start despairing over the present and the future. Because they also tend to overthink things a lot, they become hyper vigilant. They force themselves to go through their day as usual without feeling satisfaction or happiness.

Capricorn people need a good support system to help them work out their emotions and make them feel less lonely. Talking to a friend or a counselor will help a Capricorn person feel motivated and hopeful again.

[MysteRy]

Aquarians fall under the vata or the air dosha. They are good as masking their sadness, even though they may be feeling very uneasy on the inside. They prefer isolating themselves and often become very silent.

Since Aquarians prefer to be left alone with their thoughts, journaling is a good way to help them understand their emotions better. This understanding will, in turn, help them find the answers that they’re looking for and will help them deal with their sadness better.

[MysteRy]

Pisceans fall under kapha or the earth dosha. They are usually known to be wise, compassionate and artistic. During times of sadness, they tend to revisit the past and hold onto the bad memories. This makes them very bitter and pessimistic.

Journalling, speaking to a counselor, and engaging the mind with the help of meditation can help Pisceans make sense of everything that they have experienced so far while making peace with things that they don’t know or are not in their control. This will help them let go of their negativity and feelings of bitterness related to their past, thus allowing them to move on.

When it comes to sadness or any negative emotion for that matter, it always helps to delve deep into ourselves and understand why we are feeling this way. Even if we’re not always able to rationalize our feelings of sadness, just the sheer acknowledgment of the fact that we’re upset can help prevent us from making impulsive decisions, pushing our loved ones away, and hurting ourselves further. The way we choose to do this may differ from person to person. By taking the time out to connect with ourselves, we can pick out what way works best for us, be it writing, meditating, confiding in a friend, or simply spending some time alone.
