Suspicions of infidelity that destabilized a French dynasty
If you are at all familiar with astrology, you probably know a bit about what each zodiac sign has to offer. Whether it's the infectious energy of an Aries or the unstoppable ambition of a Capricorn, there are great things about every zodiac sign.
As with everything in life, however, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. For each positive character trait associated with a zodiac sign, there is a more difficult one to counter it. Thankfully there are ways of looking at these trickier character traits that make them easier to handle.

Bold and brash, the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are full of energy. They are great fun to be around, but sometimes their flames burn a little too bright.
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries people are fiery and passionate and they won't let you forget it. Sometimes that goes for their temper, too.
If you find yourself on the wrong end of an Aries temper tantrum, remind yourself that it won't last forever and there is definitely a good reason.
Our Leo friends love the spotlight and they are full of main character energy. In the wrong light, they can sometimes come across as proud.
If a seemingly arrogant Leo is winding you up, remember that in reality they only want to share the things that most excite them in life with you.
Adventurous and fun-loving Sagittarius has a bit of a reputation as a commitment-phobe. Indeed, this sign doesn't seem to stay in one place long.
The refusal of Sagittarius to commit should never be taken personally. Rather, it should be seen as a way for them to protect their sacred freedom.
Sociable and highly communicative, Geminis are sometimes considered to be hypocrites. Indeed, they do have a tendency to jump from one viewpoint to another.
This is not Gemini being manipulative or hypocritical, however. Instead, they are demonstrating their ability to see and communicate multiple perspectives.
Libras sometimes get accused of being indecisive, because they are often found sitting on the fence. However, this isn't because they can't decide.
Rather, people born under Libra are always able to see everyone's standpoint, whatever the argument. They are aware there is no right answer to anything.
The maverick of the zodiac, Aquarius has an unusual take on life. This sign is more able than others to take a step back and see clearly what is in front of them.
If sometimes you find yourself offended by an Aquarius' aloofness, try to remember they are probably just looking at things analytically, rather than emotionally.
The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most emotional of the bunch. They have a lot to bring to the table though, when their energy is harnessed correctly.
With a reputation for being the crybaby of the zodiac, Cancer can be more emotional than the other signs. However, their strong feelings mean they are also loyal to a fault.
If a Cancer is overreacting to a given situation, their explosiveness is a result of their inability to express the intensity of the emotions they are feeling.
People born under Scorpio are often considered prickly. Indeed, this sign is often the hardest to befriend.
Underneath the hard exterior, though, is a sensitive and caring person. The detached style is merely a defense mechanism against emotional attachment.
The creative daydreamer of the zodiac, Pisces can often seem a little lost. Much of the time our Pisces friends seem to have their heads in the clouds.
Their dreamy nature is not to be knocked. It serves as evidence that the child in them—the one that still believes in good—is still alive.
Finally, the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn). These guys are grounded and practical, although they're not always the easiest to get along with.
A steady and grounded earth sign, Taurus babies can sometimes become too accustomed to their creature comforts and seem a little lazy.
More often than not, however, Taurus is observing and waiting for the right time to act. It's not laziness, so much as a conservation of energy.
Virgo is a sign rooted in logic and analysis. People born under Virgo are often quite serious, and they are sometimes accused of being perfectionists.
This very well may be the case, but it's worth remembering that before a Virgo will criticize, they'll go over the situation hundreds of times in their own head.
And finally Capricorn, the workaholic of the zodiac. Caps are often so ambitious that they can come across as distant, robotic even.
Try to remember that underneath the hard exterior is a softie who longs to feel supported. A little help will go a long way with a Capricorn.
