The column has been written by astrologer Sunita Chabra
The journey of life is mysterious and tough. We all go through our own share of challenges and difficulties, and that’s okay. However difficult it may be to accept, this is what life is all about. The perception of happiness or sadness, difficult or easy, you interpret them as per your thoughts and beliefs. You and only you are ultimately responsible for your success or failure in life. Perception is a psychological process through which everything in this world is interpreted. Thus, let’s understand what every zodiac sign perceives about life.
02/13 Aries
Aries sign is ruled by the planet of action, Mars. You are impulsive, sometimes acting first and thinking later. You will say what you are thinking with utmost frankness that may occasionally border on rudeness. You perceive life as a battlefield where challenges, however risky, will more often than not lead you to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Challenges generate energy and overcoming these challenges gives you thrill and excitement.
03/13 Taurus
You often talk about the things you want to change, but you are not prepared to make the said changes. You like to live in your comfort zone, dreaming of things to change. You can be a model for perseverance, and once you decide to do something, it will most likely be done, overcoming all difficulties and challenges. Money and all physical things hold great significance for you in life.
04/13 Gemini
Gemini is a dual sign characterized by the Twins, thus your perception of life will swing up and down. There will be periods when you are feeling positive even in adverse situations. In life, most of the time you move forward with glass-half-full optimism and have an inherent ability to always look on the bright side. Your perception of life affects your communication. A gentle reminder for you – the mind is like a parachute that works best when open. Thus, open your mind to new ideas and different ways of thinking in life.
05/13 Cancer
Emotional Cancer sign is ruled by the moon and characterized by the crab, and often are happy living in the realm of imagination. So you perceive life through your emotions. Familiar objects in your environment, the aroma of a home-cooked meal, and the sound of music, all make you happy and like a crab – perceive happiness in this bubble in your protective shell rather than face harsh realities of life.
06/13 Leo
Bold, intelligent, warm, and courageous, fire sign Leo is a natural leader of the zodiac. Most people wrongly assume that you are all about self-esteem, self-generated goals but in reality, you are most giving in nature. Like a Lion, when it comes to life, you are clear about what you want out of life. How you perceive life as a whole plays a role in your attitude and also will be a meter of success in your life.
07/13 Virgo
Practical Virgos are incredibly adept at big picture thinking and planning out their life. Your desire for everything to be perfect can manifest in frustration when things don’t live up to those expectations and occasionally this may lead to fights with friends and your loved ones. You like to plan things, but life never happens the way you want it to be, and there is nothing you can do to stop it, so probably this may bring disappointments and generate negative thoughts.
08/13 Libra
Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, Libra adores a life that looks good. However, nobody can call out Librans for daydreaming. To an outsider, you may appear self-confident but actually, you struggle with insecurities. How you perceive life, your preferences, and your self-expression through your clothing, haircut, jewelry, and means of transportation, show how you view yourself within your community or society.
09/13 Scorpio
Scorpio is an intensely emotional sign. You put up an outer shell, and to some, you may seem prickly, but this is far from the truth! Your thoughts, feelings, and how you perceive life is deep. Your empathy can help you read people very quickly and because of this, you can immediately tune into someone who needs help. The intense and deeply buried emotions inform your relationships, too.
10/13 Sagittarius
In life, you don’t need a roadmap, as you can easily conceptualize ideas and opportunities that others may not see easily. There are two types of people in this world, the ones who view the glass as half-full, and then those who see the glass as half-empty, you belong to the first group. Sagittarius is open-hearted and always truthful. You don’t need permission or approval, and you have a strong sense of self that allows you to always feel sure-footed.
11/13 Capricorn
Capricorns are ruled by planet Saturn. You perceive life to be in order and love strict rules, hierarchies and set ways to do things. You set high goals for yourself. You perceive and prefer life to have some structure. You are good at climbing the career ladder but fear of how life may suddenly throw curveball influences the choices you make.
12/13 Aquarius
There is no one quite like an Aquarius. They perceive life as a big-picture and can see connections in a way that eludes others. You feel you are on the planet to change the world and you will make conscious efforts to do things differently. Even your everyday choice of dressing, food, or handling of relations will be unique in many ways. How you perceive life will also differ from the opinions of the majority. Your perceptions have a reasonable balance between optimism and realism.
13/13 Pisces
Pisces feel things deeply and have incredibly strong gut reactions. You perceive life from deep within, and can often judge whether a person or situation is good or bad, but that does not mean you are not logical, though. You are seen as more complicated by people around you for they cannot understand you. Deeply intelligent, you perceive life with great respect for the power of the human mind and have a very strong moral compass of right and wrong, which guides you well in life.
