THE MOST CAUTIOUS ZODIAC SIGNS
Planets that Affect Caution
Each planet (including our luminaries) represents an energetic force within our being—or a component of life. (Example: Sun = ego; Moon = emotion; Mercury = mind/communication; Venus = love; Mars = sex; Jupiter = luck; Saturn = discipline; Uranus = change; Neptune = spirit; Pluto = transformation).
Because of this, there are a few different ways of looking at how people practice caution. For instance, when our minds are being more cautious, Mercury is likely to be the main planet influenced by the transiting stars. Energy, vitality, and life force could become more cautious when the Sun or Mars are being influenced to do so. The Moon’s vibration resonates on an emotional level, so when she is feeling pressure, this would create a more apprehensive effect upon our lives. Venus, with her ties to relationships and love, would be the planet triggered if we are showing caution around these particular matters.
Planetary Transits that Affect Caution
Planetary aspects are very important because they are “the conversations” happening in the sky. A general explanation of astrology is that it is the observation of the connection between the planets, the Sun, and the Moon from our perspective on Earth. A planetary transit would be likened to a planet’s entire trek through a particular zodiac sign or house in the sky. Any planetary retrograde—when a celestial object is moving backward within the sky—would create caution around what the planet rules as well as what the zodiac sign it is backpeddling within thematically holds ties to.
Planetary aspects that would create more caution are anytime Saturn is connected to one of the personal planets (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars). When he is well aspected, such as in a trine or sextile, we are likely to show more patient and practical energy as we proceed. More intense aspects would be a conjunction, opposition, or square, where we likely are forced to practice caution as something is thrust upon us. Similar situations occur with the other outer planets, too, but are more closely tied to what that particular planet holds dominion over. Uranus represents change, chaos, and rebellion, so we’d practice caution around these kinds of situations. Neptune holds rulership over delusion, intoxication, and deception, so we’d exercise caution around these matters during those planetary aspects. Pluto is the planet of corruption, destruction, and domination, so these themes tend to pop up accordingly. Last to note is Jupiter—who is typically known as our Great Benefic and often brings an abundance of fortune to our lives. However, because Jupiter is a “larger than life” energy, moderation is the key way of practicing caution when this planet is involved in any more challenging aspect.
In someone’s natal chart, it is important to review what natal aspects their planets are making, which is where we’d learn how someone practices—or doesn’t practice—caution.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)
Of all the zodiac signs, Taurus is the most cautious because by their very nature they are resistant to change. As a Fixed sign, they naturally do not like change or transitions—but also as the slowest moving element—Earth—they hold true to their stubborn path even when the Universe is telling them it’s time to go in a different direction. Tauruses don’t like to make mistakes, avoid danger at all costs, and like to keep surprises to a minimum. They’re happy to go the long way around an obstacle rather than face chaos or conflict head-on. Please share everywhere & follow me online for more daily horoscopes.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)
Ruled by the Moon, Cancers are the most emotional of all zodiac signs. The Moon also holds ties to domesticity, the past, and the soul. This leads Cancers to be very tied to their bubble—wanting to stay in a safety net without rocking the boat. Cancers, symbolized by the Crab, also have a shell—showing that they’ll be the first to retreat from scary environments, people, or situations. They will hide or run away rather than handling something that is too harsh or shocking to their hearts. Please share everywhere & follow me online for more daily horoscopes.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)
As the second Earth sign to make this list, Capricorns are known for their incredible gift at being strategic. Symbolized by the goat that takes its time—slowly and steadily—to scale the mountain, they hold some of the greatest perseverance and patience of any zodiac sign. However, Capricorns are also a Cardinal zodiac sign and know how to strike quickly and effectively when they need to—but being an Earth sign, it’d have to be something they had pre-planned or previously considered. This cautious nature also extends to their emotions. Capricorns are ruled by Saturn, which means they’re slightly pessimistic and always planning for “a rainy day.” Please share everywhere & follow me online for more daily horoscopes.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)
As the last Earth sign to make this list, Virgos are known for their practical nature. Ruled by Mercury—the fastest moving planet—they’re quick to analyze every detail and often overthink every matter. While they are a Mutable sign and are more open to change than the other Earth signs, they still have an exceptional ability to avoid confrontation, danger, or uncomfortable situations. Virgos have a natural tendency to be caretakers and crave peace over difficulty, making them often the ones who sacrifice of themselves rather than standing up for what they feel. They tend to use their intellect and communication skills, rather than just their calculated strategy, to slowly but surely move in new directions.
