Karmic Lessons Each Zodiac Sign Needs to Learn

Ever seen someone treating others horribly only to be put in their place later on? Perhaps you’ve been in that situation yourself and have quickly come to realize that you’ll eventually pay for the way you behave. That is the very power of Karma – it is the consequence of each and every one of our actions.

How does Karma relate to Zodiac signs?

Each Zodiac sign carries Karma with them, and eventually, it comes round to teach you something important. These are called karmic lessons. They appear as situations, patterns, or relationships repeated until something has been learned from them. Karmic lessons are challenging but give everyone the opportunity to grow. Read on to find out how you can use your karmic lessons to blossom into your best version.

By the way, you may have a karmic LOVE lesson. Learn more HERE. 

Aries

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Slow down and only act when you’ve considered all possible paths to take.

Karmic advice for Aries: Consider all possible paths you can follow first and then act

Aries, as the first of the Zodiac, you are known for your fast pace of living and impulsiveness. This might seem like a fun way to navigate through life, but for others, it is exhausting. Often you pay the price for acting before thinking. How many times have you finished something quickly, only to spend more time correcting mistakes? How many times have you pursued something on impulse only to be disappointed when it turns out to be nothing like you imagined? These scenarios will keep happening until you learn to forward-plan. And if you need help making choices, this reading will do the trick! 

Taurus

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Listen and respect other people’s insights on a topic.

Taurus, you carry the strength and steadiness of your cosmic symbol — The Bull, but you also carry its stubbornness and unwillingness to change. As a result, you tend to create more friction than necessary in places of partnership. Think about past relationships. Is there a theme of fighting too much for you to be right? Think about your workplace environment. Was it worth your idea pulling through only to create enemies that will turn their backs on you in times of need? Until you learn to listen more, you will face trouble making real progress.

Gemini

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Focus your mind and be more attentive to other people’s needs.

Your airy nature keeps many doors open for you, Gemini, that would not be held open for other signs. This allows you to go with the flow and follow whichever path captures your heart. This may seem perfect, but the bargain you strike is neglecting others for your own desires. Think about all those times you have flaked on plans you’ve made with your friends. Now, think about how many friendships you have lost because you were too distant. Putting more effort into others will stop this cycle of loss for you.

Cancer

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Trust in yourself and live in the present moment.

Karmic advice for Cancer: There is no better time to live in than the present moment

Being ruled by the Moon, it’s understandable why you are strongly connected to emotions, Cancer. You have a nostalgic nature which often leaves you chasing after things you once had in the past. This can be very damaging to not only your inner spirit but to others around you as well. To them, it appears as if you aren’t grateful for what you have now. At times, you also have a tendency to doubt yourself. Think about how many opportunities you’ve missed because you didn’t have the confidence to take them. Until you learn to live now and work on your self-trust, your life will just keep passing you by.

Leo

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Collaborating with others will earn you more respect than ruling alone.

Leo, just like your celestial symbol, you are the Lion of the pack, the leader of the group, the one others look up to. Your natural charisma and ability to lead often boost you up to high positions. However, your position alone does not earn you respect. You tend to operate from a space of righteousness that gives you an excuse to silence others. How many partnerships have broken down over your need to do things your way? It’ll be hard to reach your goals up until you learn to work with others. 

Virgo

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Accept things as they are and move on from past failures.

If there’s one thing everyone needs to know about you, Virgo, it’s that you work hard. You plan and plan until everything is perfect, until every little detail is accounted for. That’s why when failure comes, it is so hard for you to move on from it. This results in you becoming stuck and brooding in what went wrong. Just because it happened before does not mean it will happen again. You must learn to bounce back from setbacks in order to stop encountering them. 

Focus on your present and your future, dear Virgo. And this runic reading will show you how your life will evolve over time and help you understand the reason for such development. 

Libra

The karmic lesson you need to learn: You cannot earn balance by trying to change everything around you.

Karmic advice for Libra: You needn't achieve balance in every sphere of your life

Libra, you are the great meditator of the Zodiac. Your ability to create harmony and cooperation in any conflict is admirable. At its core, life is all about balance for you. However, it is essential to realize that not all things must balance around you. Think back to past relationships. You have often tried to create balance by trying to change your partner. All that does it backfire. Instead of making peace, you create division. True harmony can only be achieved when you allow things to be in their natural form.

Scorpio

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Not everything that is a threat must be dealt with harshly.

Your ambition and resourcefulness make you a force to be reckoned with, Scorpio. No matter what gets thrown at you, you can always make use of what is around you to succeed. But when other people get in your way… a darker side emerges. Vengeance is a strong theme for you, but should it be? What does exacting revenge really achieve for you? It can inspire fear, but then you lose space for love. You don’t need to forget, but you can put your energy into something more productive. 

And here are some productivity tips for your Zodiac sign, Scorp! 

Sagittarius

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Learn to control what you say. There is a fine line between honesty and cruelty.

Sagittarius, your rapid process makes you someone who likes to express their nature entirely. As a result, your words are always unfiltered. This makes you very sincere. A lot of people believe you are truly genuine. But sometimes, this honesty can be too much. Saying before thinking means you often end up offending or hurting people with your words without realizing it. This creates uncomfortable situations where people think negatively of you. To overcome this, remember to pause before saying something. Holding back is sometimes the better option.

Capricorn

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Step into a more positive light and don’t punish others for not living up to your expectations.

Karmic advice for Capricorn: High expectations will not always help you achieve success

Ambition is your strongest asset, but it can also be your downfall, Capricorn. You are someone who achieves big things. Once you have a goal set in your mind, you work hard in order to make it a reality. This leads to you thrusting some unrealistic expectations upon others. Not everyone has the same drive or targets as you, and you can’t chastise them for not being you. You’ll encounter roadblock after roadblock in your plans until you learn to work with other people’s strengths.

Aquarius

The karmic lesson you need to learn: A group first starts with two people – focus your efforts on friends and family.

Aquarius, you are always doing something. There is never a moment in your life where you are truly resting – there’s just so much to do. As a result, you’ll find that you lack time for other aspects of your life, such as your relationship with friends and family. You’re often perceived as cold and distant because people don’t know you. How would they if you don’t spend any time with them? When life gets tough, you need friends to help you. So put your energy into building bridges with others.

Pisces

The karmic lesson you need to learn: Stand on your own two feet and let go of controlling people with their emotions.

One of your best qualities, Pisces, is your empathetic nature. You are very deeply connected to emotions and the people around you. This also means you are very susceptible to external judgment. Often you put too much emphasis on what others think about you. Consequently, you defend yourself by manipulating people’s emotions to restore control. But people’s thoughts are not something you can control. You must let go of trying to please others and let your true nature shine. Only when you do this will you start to understand freedom.
