Horoscope: The dark side
In the horoscope section, we usually read all the nice things that are said about us and probably hold the thoughts close, cuddle with them, and think it superior to all others.
But this time, as an adieu to 2016 and the start of 2017, here are some of the worst traits to look out for, according to the Zodiac, and hopefully resolve with a resolution.
Aries
Because of their domineering traits, they can come off as a bit of brat when things do not go their way and tend to throw hissy fits. Not to worry too much though, as it is just a tantrum, and like any tantrum, cured with a little pampering, a nice glass of warm milk and a nap to get rid of the crabbiness.
Taurus
Three words spring immediately to mind when dealing with a Taurus - metrosexual, materialistic, and money-hungry. Not that there is anything wrong if those three traits are kept in moderation. However, they really need to dial down on the hate when it comes to comparing and criticising other people-- for whatever reasons.
Gemini
Wily and unpredictable, Gemini get their kick by pushing people into their uncomfortable zones. Unable to hold a single conversation without deviating from the topic and discussing something completely different before leaping into yet another topic, leaving you with an empty expression. They are constantly at war with their dual personalities, which is visible as either crazy or something completely insane.
Cancer
Know anyone who used to wallow in sorrow and cried in the bathroom when they were young? Rest assured that that person was most definitely a Cancer. Cancers are in a constant state of emotional unrest because they are a bit on the sensitive side, so keep that in mind when you talk to them. They also tend to have the highest number of selfies on Facebook than the average population of the Vatican.
Leo
Leos are all about the ego trip. As is appropriate to their sign, the Lion, they need to be the centre of attention. Perhaps it is wise to step away from the spotlight and let someone near you be under it for once. Try not to point out anything bad about a Leo, lest you end up on their hit list for the rest of your life.
Virgo
When something needs to be done, employ a Virgo as they will scrutinise everything down to the last hair-splitting detail. Great for good quality work; but not so much for people to people relationships. Their constant nit-picking may drive people to the edge of insanity. Understand that humans are made to have flaws. The Virgo is also kind of lazy, but not in the way we might think.
Libra
Libras are flirtatious to a fault. And as is often the case, that habit of theirs ends up attracting humans from the bottom end of the spectrum. They are quite indecisive and slightly cowardly too, so they often end up in wrong relationships. Try not to accept every relation that comes along and perhaps dial down the lazy habits.
Scorpio
The average Scorpio seem average on the outside, but underneath, they are quite the vindictive sociopath. If they ever think you have wronged them, they will keep you on their revenge list till the end of time. Butters from the animated series 'South Park' is the perfect example of a Scorpio. Everyone thinks he is an innocent little scamp, but on the inside is an alternate ego: Professor Chaos.
Sagittarius
Miley Cyrus going from Hannah Montana to 'Wrecking Ball', Britney Spears going from 'Baby One More Time' to her famous head shaving. That is the unpredictability of Sagittarius in a nutshell. They end up saying things without thinking, leading to hurt feelings or misunderstandings. They also freak out on occasion and end up doing something 'wild' because they were 'feeling like it.'
Capricorn
A real stickler for rules and tradition tends to make them quite boring. They are so shy and awkward, that it almost feels like you have to pull their teeth in order to make them socialise. They also have a tendency to be a bit materialistic. Try to be a bit more spontaneous if you wish to be the life of the party.
Aquarius
The Aquarius is a hippie elitist. They think they are somehow the cream of the crop, the crystal amongst the plastic. They are constantly on a quest to be unique, which backfires and makes them look boring or idiotic. Their other big flaw involves emotional detachment and inability to open up to others about their feelings, which in itself leads to a mountain of headache.
Pisces
Watch what you say near a Pisces because they simply cannot take a joke. They are also sensitive and fast to get furious. They also cannot deal with jabs or jokes they might otherwise dole out themselves. If you know a Pisces, always walk on eggshells because you are going to make them pout with a sarcastic joke or a harmless jab.
