The truth is, when you’re the first person to do something, there’s always the risk of a spectacular failure. And while Aries certainly is not afraid to take risks, they are scared of being judged for a costly mistake. They’ll never express their doubts, but there’s a good chance the Aries in your life is more in their head than people think. As an earth sign, Taurus is known for their straightforward and practical approach to life. Nobody can tell a Taurus what to do or what to think about themselves, and it’s nearly impossible to get them to change their minds. Most people believe it’s stubbornness, but Taurus likes to think of it as focus. However, they often find themselves wondering if they’ve limited their options and might be missing out on some of the impromptu fun other signs are having.

It’s not a secret that the party animals of the zodiac love the spotlight. But for the most part, Leos will act as if it’s a coincidence that they’re the center of attention, when in fact, they made sure of it. These signs worked hard to develop their confidence and aren’t going to let other people and their insecurities keep them from strutting their stuff.

Virgos are considered the perfectionists of the zodiac, and in a way that’s true. They have an eye for details and spot the little things other people miss. Therefore, they’re often put in charge of helping other people get things together and move their life back on track. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re organized people. Virgos are more likely than any other sign to let their own schedule and routines fall by the wayside to help someone else out. So while you might perceive them as having it all together, the truth could be quite the opposite. READ THIS NEXT: Your Luckiest Day of the Year, According to Your Zodiac Sign.

As the sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of knowledge and expansion, Sagittarius is a low-key geek (in a good way!). Whether it’s a reading obsession, a love of documentaries, or a tendency to pick up a new hobby every other week, Sagittarius’ habits are more nerd-like than most people know. It’s well known that Capricorns like to hustle and make a lot of money in the process. This often leads people to assume this sign is boring.
