• zodiac signs
Aries:
Aries mature under pressure, they like opposing, they like to counter-attack, they like to challenge popular views and opinions, they like competing with others. This helps them learn more and become a better version of themselves, Aries are really hungry and thristy for progress.
Taurus:
It may sound shallow, but Taurus have a vision of a beautiful world, they like to see beauty, aesthetics more and more to the world, what is there not to like? When everything looks put together and pleasing to the eye, I think we all would enjoy that. Taurus also like things flowing a certain way, their way, that lessens their stress and anxiety. They should not underestimate the power of their surroundings and the power of dressing up as they like, as they feel like. Both have an influence on their mood.
Gemini:
They know what they want, but they lack knowing the ways to get there sometimes. What they need most is a goal and direction, knowing what to do in order to place their energy there, their whole energy there. If they do not where they are going, which is their next destination, they then face the same problems and obstacles. They should sit down and think things over nicely, orderly.
Cancer:
They are emotional beings, especially when it comes to their bonds with people. If they are not careful, they could fall into the wrong crowd, which can be very draining, exhausting and toxic. They should choose their friends carefully, which I think is a skill they develop with experience, it is important because they dicate their behavior, it is a huge source of experience, expansion and progress for Cancerians.
Leo:
Leos are really fulfilled when they have a clear vision of who they are. But, this is a challenge because the vision they have has to evolve. Because they will stay stuck if they do not evolve, evolve their vision and themselves, constant growth is needed, the real challenge is them letting this evolution happening, they can be their own biggest enemy sometimes.
Virgo:
The stress they feel when analyzing others’ opinions is equal to the freedom you will feel when you put that behind you. If you are not happy, you are probably living for someone else, or you are making decision based on what other’s told you/raised you, and not based on what you feel and think is right for that. The Virgo mind is intelligent, observant and analytical making it perfect for making rational and right decisions, which is the challenge, not giving a fuck about others’ opinions, not paying mind to their ‘advice’. Do your own thing.
Libra:
Libras really care about – their career/studies and their loved ones. They would be the happiest when they love people with the whole extent of their heart and when they are working something they are really passionate about. Because they feel these things so strongly, sometimes it is challenging to balance them.
Scorpio:
Scorpios think with the same intensity as they feel. This can become a problem when they do not know how to handle their often irrational and impulsive ideas. This does not mean they cannot control their thoughts, but their challenge here is learning how to put their focus on only important and relevant things and forget the rest. In order to be able to do this is for them to know what they care for and what is the person they want to become.
Sagittarius:
Sags have a constant need to be in movement, action. They are hungry for experiences and when they are not pleased with life is often because of some reasons they cannot do the things they love. Maybe they want that ‘perfect’ life according to their own definition of it, maybe they want to settle down, whatever it is they want if they cannot add adventure and excitement to it they will never feel fulfilled.
Capricorn:
One of the most grounded signs. If they are not in a home they value, a partner they absolutely, whole-heartedly love and a job that fulfills them, they will not be happy. To them happiness is dependent of consistency – what they do, what does their partner do, their permanent home (in which they find comfort), their job.
Aquarius:
They like accomplishing a lot. So if they are not happy and/or fulfilled it is because they are not dreaming enough, it is because they are not doing much. Their happiness is born out of the projects they love doing and creating. If they stop working on something bigger than them, they will be completely crushed.
Pisces:
They have a need to be understood but at the same time they never are. The best way for them to express themselves is to create something, it being in the field of art or in the field of business, whatever tickles their fancy. It is important for them to imprint a part of them into the world, instead of finding a piece of them that is missing. If they are not fulilled and/or happy it is because they are not creating, and/or using their creativity to its full extent.

What are the best 3 tips for writing in your opinion? There are so many posts about how to write smth, but I always wondered which 3 tips helped you the most.
Hi, darling! Thanks for your question :) This is very much up to opinion, of course, but a few things came to mind right away…
My Top Three Writing Tips (via Mod Joanna)
1. Trust yourself – and your instincts.
As modern-day writers, we have access to the internet – which means not only do we have countless online resources telling us exactly how to write, but we read more classic, brilliant literature than any generation of writers before us. All this information is running through our heads as we pick up a pen or open a new document, thinking of the perfect way to say what we want to say. And it’s damaging.
This information is useful, but when you sit down to write, shut that noise down. Get rid of external distractions, too, until it’s just you (and whatever background noise you like) and the page. Write, and as you’re writing, pay attention to what you’re feeling. If you’re not interested in the scene you’re writing, trust that and change it so that it’s more interesting. If something you put down feels mushy, or dramatic, or out of character, trust that and change it. If the chapter feels too long but chapters are “supposed to be a certain length”, or if your description feels long-winded but “you need to establish the setting”, or you can just sense something isn’t working but you don’t know – stop. Find it. Change it. It’s that simple.
The biggest question we get on this blog (and that I’ve seen on most other blogs) is, “Should I?” Should I keep this prologue in my story? Should I make my character more flawed? Should I write from second-person POV? Should I do x if other people say I should do y instead? And while I can give you my opinion, the most important answer I have is this: if you’re asking the question, you know the answer. If something works but you still want it to change, you need to change it. If something doesn’t work but it’s easier to leave it that way, you need to change it. If something works and you don’t want to change it but other people think you should… don’t.
Do what feels right – not what’s easy and not what’s directed to you. The more you listen to your internal voice, the easier it will be to hear it.
2. Let the first few hundred words suck.
This rule is especially important the longer it’s been since you’ve written, and it’s an easy one. When you first start, don’t expect anything quality in the first few hundred words. You have to get into the page first – dip the toe, brace the cold, get your hair wet. Start the engine and see how it feels, and don’t put any pressure on yourself.
In my experience, starting has never been easy, even during weeks when I write 1K+ a day, every day. And yet for some reason, I always give myself 200 painful words before deciding, “I’m not getting anywhere today. Forget it.” And that’s usually when I’m right on the cusp of something good, and I can tell because when I do push myself past that point, I get something good. It’s been a lifesaver for me!
For a lot of writers, when we know we’re capable of our heights, we aren’t gracious with ourselves. We kick ourselves for struggling. We lament writer’s block. Instead, we could look at each day as a new pen – it takes a bit of scribbling to get the ink flowing, but that doesn’t make it a bad pen.
3. Be in your scene, not at the window.
No matter what POV you’re writing in, it’s important that your readers are immersed in the story; and if your readers are going somewhere, you have take them there. Instead of writing from a bird’s eye view, you need to write from the view of someone in the room – even if that person isn’t a character, but your ghostly figure levitating in the middle of the scene, narrating for the rest of us.
This is especially important in relation to your sensory description. One of the most off-putting and common problems in the stories I read online is a lack of any sensation besides sight. I can sit there for three minutes reading about the interior decoration of the room before finding out if the characters are even there, or what they’re doing, or what they’re thinking. Don’t overwhelm my mind’s eye, please! Instead, tell me:
what’s going on in your character’s body – because they’re probably aware of it. If he’s sitting in the waiting room, let me feel the rumble of his stomach because he forgot to eat on the way there. If she’s cuddling someone, what does that person’s shampoo smell like, and where is their hair tickling her skin, and is their breathing matching up or is hers more ragged and if so, is she anxious, or excited, or exhausted? Engage me with what the characters are feeling and I’ll feel it, too.
what’s going on in the room – so I can be there, too. Is that the TV I’m hearing, or just crickets outside, or just my breathing and the clock ticking in the next room? Does it smell like the food I half-ate, or the dog who likes to sleep here, or beer because my roommate is drunk off their ass? If it’s an action scene, it probably smells like sweat. If it’s a love scene, it probably tastes like toothpaste.
what’s going on in the world – especially if this is a world-heavy story. In the city, cars honk outside, and the new girl from the suburbs will not be used to this, and it’ll probably crank up her stress. In the apocalypse, you may hear some random screaming from the victim of a mugging, or gunshots from the neighbors who are always causing trouble. In space, you don’t hear anything, but silence is its own sound and it can be crazy-making. The sci-fi future probably smells like metal and disinfectant, and a pixie society probably smells like pollen and whatever you’ve decided pixie dust smells like. Tell me all about it.
That’s what comes to me, but I’m sure every writer out there has a different set of tips they hold close to their heart. I hope everyone feels welcome to add their opinions in the reblogs/comments :)
As always, thanks again for the question and your patience <3 Be sure to let us know if you have any more questions!
