Generally, when someone uses the word addiction, we think of something that is very harmful and can do serious damage. We don’t, however, tend to think of things like being on social media all the time or avoiding conflict as problematic, but any kind of unhealthy behavior we engage in can be an addiction.
Since addictions can be tied to our personality traits, it’s not unlikely that astrology and our horoscopes play a role. And when it comes to what each zodiac sign is addicted to, we can count on the stars to reveal how this influences the types of addictions we’re susceptible to.
Addictions are destructive to our health, our sense of self, and our lives. It’s hard to have any kind of control when you’re dealing with an addiction, even when you tell yourself that you can quit at any time or that it’s really no big deal. Any addiction is difficult to overcome and can take a fierce determination to end the power that it has over someone.
We all have some kind of addiction, even if to other people it looks like a healthy lifestyle. Working out is good for everybody, but not when someone is working out two or three times a day and has a meltdown if they’re unable to go when they want.
Sometimes we have addictions we know aren’t good for us, but we tell ourselves they’re harmless and fun as we reinforce the dangerous behavior. It’s easy to lie to yourself when you’re addicted to something. Addictions are stronger than habits and harder to break.
There should be no shame in asking for help. We often need someone else’s perspective in order to see that what we’re doing is unhealthy and possibly dangerous.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Geminis tend to be addicted to social media, even if they say they’re rarely on it. Geminis love to give their opinion, comment and generally communicate with people.
They will spend hours on social media even though it makes it more difficult to sleep at night and cuts into their real-time social life. Geminis are not above thoroughly checking out a Tinder date beforehand on social media or seeing what’s happening in their ex’s life.
