Toxic Traits of Rising and Moon Signs

So, here are some of the toxic traits of each rising and moon sign. A light hearted drag session, if you will. Read both the moon and rising, and mix them or see which you resonate with more.

Aries (sidereal Pisces)

Delusional. Dreamy, imaginative, and very much in your own head and own world, which isn’t a bad thing at all, but sometimes you're living in a storyline that no one else is in. You can easily idealize things and people, or lose grasp of reality. You chase dreams, signs, and feelings, often without a clear plan, and then wonder why things fall apart. You float somewhere between inspired and avoidant. It’s a beautiful story in your mind, but confusing for us on the outside here in reality.

Taurus (sidereal Aries)

Impulsive. You guys are so darn headstrong, easily provoked, and not exactly known for your patience. Quick to speak, react, and act. You want what you want now and how you want it. Can become toxic in that you can be selfish, overpowering, or just too quick to make decisions, which you later regret or have to clean up. You mean well, but your reactions can be overwhelming, fiery, and your need to win or prove a point can be tiring.

Gemini (sidereal Taurus)

Nonchalant af. This isn’t a bad thing, it's just sometimes we need a little more energy from y’all. So grounded, cool, calm and collected, it seems like you don't care or are not reacting to what's happening. You stand on business and don't like to budge so you stay quiet, stay still, and wait for things to blow over, but sometimes it just looks like you ghosted the moment entirely. (Maybe I'm just jealous because I am an overly emotional anything but nonchalant

Sagittarius [sidereal Scorpio] moon.)

Cancer (sidereal Gemini)

Scattered. You guys have a million things going at once, all over the place, whether it’s thoughts, emotions, plans, work, or commitments. Five conversations halfway done, and three new obsessions by noon. Never resting, always on the move, being pulled in 100 different directions. So indecisive, definitely can't make a decision to save your life. You’re curious and social, but also inconsistent and hard to pin down.

Leo (sidereal Cancer)

Clingy. You guys are incredibly loving and nurturing which is amazing but sometimes it can turn to being smothering or even love bomby. Can get too involved in other people or situations and end up feeling more parental. You tend to crave validation and admiration, sometimes pushing others to meet your emotional needs. The loving nature can also confuse someone and make them feel uniquely special or like you really love them and would never do anything bad, when it's actually just how you are.

Virgo (sidereal Leo)

Self-absorbed. You guys are so confident and used to or desiring the spotlight that you can come off a little egotistical. The drama is y’all think everything is about you. You have big emotions that might overshadow others’ emotions, making it hard to relate. Always reminding us you are the

out of others when everything revolves around you , your emotions, and desires.

Libra (sidereal Virgo)

Critical. Always nitpicking and pointing out the things that are wrong in yourself, others, and situations. Stubborn with feeling like you and your way must be the right way. Nothing wrong with being detailed, but you guys love reminding us just how imperfect we are. While the order and organization you guys have is cause for jealousy, underneath all that critique, there’s a strong fear of chaos and imperfection that can make you overly cautious and restricted, hard for others to adapt or measure up.

Scorpio (sidereal Libra)

Superficial. You guys kind of just go with anything that looks good on the surface. You can go in and out of relationships because you don't really go that deep, things are surface level, or in romantic dynamics, physically driven. You’re so focused on keeping peace that you avoid tough conversations and honest feelings. Can be very easy to please, shape, and satisfy. Your need to be liked and to smooth over conflict can make you hide your true opinions or manipulate situations quietly. Can be so open and free to love, wanting things to be harmonious, it turns to over-flexibility, weak boundaries, or low standards.

Sagittarius (sidereal Scorpio)

Intense af. Feel things so deeply and want to go way beyond the surface of things. Can be uncomfortable or invasive for others. Emotions run so high, you can be hard to understand. You are always deep in your own thoughts, being wary, overly private, and can appear very intense and uninviting to others, scaring them away. You want to control so you might manipulate situations or people to keep the upper hand and avoid feeling exposed. Your passion and intensity can quickly turn into possessiveness or jealousy, possibly pushing others away.

Capricorn (sidereal Sagittarius)

Flighty/Inconsistent. We love the adventurous spirit, but you are always looking for the next thing to do, learn, or place to go. Hard to satisfy you, you get bored. Non-committal because you are afraid of things consistently being the same or something might be too quiet and stable.

Afraid to make plans because "something will come up" or

"you never know what could happen or change."

The need for freedom and growth can be destabilizing to

yourself and those around you. Your presence is appreaciated

but feels unreliable to others.

Aquarius (sidereal Capricorn)

Rigid. You guys are slow moving with everything and very much set in your ways and plans. Everything needs a structure, a timeline, and a result. You hate chaos and unpredictability, which means spontaneity gets sacrificed for “what makes sense.” You have an idea of what you want in your head and won't bend it for anyone. So results-based, feeling like things have to be serious and strict to work, which can feel not exciting or predictable to others.

Pisces (sidereal Aquarius)

Detached. Can be more in love with ideas and freedom than with real emotional connection. You care deeply about humanity but can keep people in your reality at arm’s length. You prize freedom and originality so much that anything too emotional, too clingy, or too ordinary gets pushed away. You guys are amazingly unique but also can be hard to understand for others. Independence is so important that collaboration can feel like a threat, and your need to be different sometimes causes resisting change just to prove a point.
