This Is Your Biggest Trigger, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

P.S. Be sure to check your sun, moon, and rising sign.

As the reckless and impatient ram of the zodiac, Aries, your biggest trigger is feeling set back or otherwise delayed in life. If you feel like you aren't moving forward at the speed you'd like to, it tends to trigger a crisis of impatience, as well as fear around not reaching your goals "on time."

As a grounded and solid earth sign, Taurus, you place high importance on authenticity. You are ruled by Venus, after all, which governs our values and self-worth. That said, your biggest emotional trigger is inauthenticity, whether that's a situation where you feel you can't be true to yourself, or spotting someone you care about being phony.

Nothing can keep you down for too long, Gemini, as easily the most curious and adaptable zodiac sign. Naturally, then, you feel instantly triggered when you feel bored with your life. And we're not just talking about having a few minutes with nothing to do—we're talking about feeling like your life is becoming humdrum and monotonous. Huge Gemini trigger!

As the sensitive and sentimental crab of the zodiac, Cancer, your biggest emotional trigger is often nostalgia. You're actually known for having the strongest memory of all the signs, and when you recall times past, you feel a deep ache and longing. This nostalgia often keeps you tenderhearted, just remember not to live in the past!

You're known for your pride and regality, Leo, so it only makes sense that your biggest trigger is disrespect. After all, you feel entitled to a certain level of admiration from others, and when you don't get it, it tends to send you spiraling. Whether someone isn't taking you seriously, or flat out insulting you, you'll take it to heart more than most.

As easily one of the smartest zodiac signs, Virgo, you have a reputation for being a know-it-all. But who can blame you? You're literally ruled by Mercury, the planet of information. That said, someone questioning your intelligence is definitely your biggest trigger. Your analytical mind values facts and truth above all, so someone questioning your logic feels like an affront on your very being.

Relationships are super important to you, Libra. In fact, you're known as the most relationship-oriented sign, always trying to keep the peace and maintain harmony. With that being said, it makes perfect sense that your biggest trigger is someone being mad at you. Nothing feels worse to you than being the object of someone's frustration—it goes against everything you stand for.

If any of the zodiac signs have trust issues, Scorpio, it's you. Your biggest emotional trigger is undoubtedly distrust, but the trouble is, you look for signs and clues wherever you go—often triggering yourself! Sure, your ability to question everyone and everything might keep you safer, but it also sends you spiraling whenever you think something is even slightly off.

You're a free-spirited and spontaneous sign, Sagittarius, known for being the most spontaneous zodiac sign of them all. This happy-go-lucky attitude definitely keeps life interesting, but it also makes thinking about the future a huge trigger for you. Whether you're trying to figure out your own five-year plan, or someone else asks you what it is, consider yourself triggered.

No one prioritizes ambition and success quite like you, Capricorn. The need to succeed is practically built into your DNA, so naturally, your biggest trigger is failure. This could be literally failing at something you were attempting, but it also includes perceived or projected failures, such as worrying about how you'll achieve success or even feeling inadequate.

As the quirkiest and most eccentric sign of the bunch, Aquarius, you take your individuality seriously. An inauthentic life isn't a life worth living for you, so your biggest emotional trigger is feeling stifled or repressed. Should you find yourself in situations where you can't be your zany self, don't be surprised if you start feeling triggered.

Not only are you a deep feeler, Pisces, but you also tend to be a bit naive and even fantastical. As such, cognitive dissonance is your biggest emotional trigger, which happens when reality doesn't line up with the story you're telling yourself. And unfortunately for you, the more you've been wearing those rose-colored glasses, the more often you'll run into cognitive dissonance.

Depending on our own lived experiences, as well as particularly strong aspects of our personalities, we'll all be triggered by different things. When it comes to the common qualities of each zodiac sign, it's clear certain things will trigger one sign more than others.
