What You Need To Be Happy In Life, According To Your Zodiac Sign
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
What makes you happy? It's easy to feel unhappy with your life when you're not getting your needs met. Maybe you think you know what you need to be happy, but nothing that brings you joy ever seems to last longer than a moment. Why?
Perhaps you an extrovert who is happiest when your life is filled with quality time and good conversation. Maybe you're an introverted zodiac sign, like a Scorpio, or Cancer with a Scorpio Moon side who feels happiest alone doing something creative. If you aren't' sure, it's important to find out what makes your zodiac sign happy using personality traits described in ancient astrology. There's even scientific proof that happiness is based on your personality's needs.
Every star sign personality has 'a thing' that makes them happy. Maybe your astrology sign is career driven, so you focus on materialistic pursuits of happiness— like a favorite pair of shoes or a sofa that is so comfy you want to live on it.
If you're more sensitive, you could define happiness with simple pleasures that symbolize heart and home —like a freshly baked batch of chocolate chip cookies or a cuddle session with your dog.
Zodiac signs with dynamic astrological personality traits love getting a phone call from the person that they love.
Whatever it may be at the time what makes you happy on the outside is important. It's the small things in life that can sometimes equal bit time happiness. Everyone needs to treat themselves with whatever that is when they can. Because being happy is good for the soul and everyone deserves it. Who wants to live in a world with a bunch of miserable mopes?
What makes us happy on the surface and outwardly is different from what we inherently need on the inside to make us happy. We each need a different type of fuel to rev us up each day. As we are different in our materialistic needs, we are also different in what we need to be truly blissful.
Life is so different for everyone, a variety of experiences and ways of living are unique to each person. We each crave different things deep down on the inside to be in harmony with ourselves. It doesn't mean we are lacking anything or missing out on a deeper meaning in life. It mainly means that we just need to focus more on what our souls crave.

GEMINI (May 21- June 20)
NEEDS: Human Interaction
A Gemini craves chit-chat, discussions and just plain old hanging out time with those they love. They tend to get caught up in their own minds and need a break.

VIRGO (August 23- September 22)

SCORPIO (October 23- November 21)
NEEDS: Exhilaration

NEEDS: Intellect
An Aquarius needs stimulation and to be able to exercise their mind. They have so much going on and always feel the need to expand their outlook and intellect. If they feel that they are growing and improving the horizons of their mind they are very excited.
