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.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
While Aries are addicted to risky behavior, Taurus tend to be addicted to smaller thrills that involve indulging in their senses. They love food, massages, spending money on luxury brand candles, bedding, flowers, and amazing sound systems.
Taurus are more likely to be addicted to going to the spa and having a “me day” than jumping out of a plane or eating too much.
