You're almost perfect, if only you'd stop THIS one thing
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Being bossy
Taurus might have a difficult time admitting that they're bossy, but ask anyone in their close circle and they'll confirm, this bull sign can go overboard with their need for control. While Taurus can be calm amid chaos, they also have a bad habit of appointing themselves the director of family operations, whether or not they've been asked to help. This sign needs to allow others to take the lead if only to see that doing things a different way isn't always a bad thing.

Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Being self-centered
Gemini relates to the world through the lens of self. Every experience, discussion or idea with a Gemini undoubtedly relates back to them, even if it is about someone else. This tendency to focus on themselves and their feelings makes them less aware of the emotional needs of others, which can create distance with friends and family members. It will take mindfulness and practice for this twin sign to learn to let others have the attention from time to time.

Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Being dishonest about their feelings
This incredibly private sign has a difficult time being open about how they feel, and this can lead them down a dark road of denial. By not being honest with others and themselves, Cancer risks losing their own emotional compass, the very thing that helps them navigate through difficult times in search of something better. It's important for Cancer to work on being more open in order to maintain a line of insight into their own hearts.

Leo
July 23 – August 22
Interrupting others
Leo is filled to the brim with great ideas. They're also incapable of keeping the lid on those thoughts and won't think twice about interrupting a conversation to share what's on their mind. While their brain mojo is something to admire, no one likes being talked over and if Leo truly wants to be heard, they need to extend the courtesy first. It's important that this strong-willed sign practices taking turns while talking, since listening is a vital part of being both a good friend and leader.

Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Holding a grudge
There are so many good things about Virgo. They're nurturing, compassionate and quick to defend others. However, they have one character flaw that causes a great deal of damage to their relationships: harbored resentment. This maiden sign is not one to let go of a grudge, even if it's better for their own mental and emotional health. This sign needs to work on practicing true forgiveness in order to release themselves from the anger and hurt that they carry around like a keepsake.

Libra
September 23 – October 22
Low self-esteem
Libra is a judge, and in many ways, this ability to make difficult decisions is a positive attribute. They tend to adhere to moral convictions and choose paths in life that require bravery and courage. The bad part of their decisiveness is that they can turn it on themselves and become their harshest critic. This self-destructive thinking is incredibly damaging to their confidence. To find true happiness, Libra must start with a healthy dose of self-love.
