Brilliant messages from the late physician and writer
For people born in Cancer, personal relationships are sacrosanct. Life is all about those deep connections, and Cancers fear being alone above all else.
Virgos are broad-spectrum perfectionists. They strive for greatness in all areas of their lives, and they are afraid, above all, of being rejected.
Tauruses are the rock stars of personal finance, not least because their greatest fear is not being able to achieve their due to financial constraints.
Libras tend to be easygoing, but they also like balance. They tread with excessive caution around anything that might throw their life off kilter.
The original rebel without a cause, Sagittarius hates being told what to do. Their biggest fear is someone else getting in the way of their dreams and goals.
Of all the star signs, Scorpio has the most darkness within. Scorpios often find it difficult to open up to others, for fear of being perceived as depressing or weird.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Leos enjoy the spotlight. They adore for others to watch them, but, more than that, they love to be praised.
Of all the zodiac signs, Pisces is the biggest idealist. People born under this sign fear being unloved or misunderstood in this cold and calculating world.
Capricorn is the most ambitious sign of the zodiac. Caps fear feeling small and insignificant above all else.
Flighty and impatient, Gemini doesn't like to be tied down. People born under this sign hate being stuck in a rut or finding themselves with a monotonous routine.
Another rebellious sign, Aquarius' biggest fear is blending into the crowd. It is unthinkable in the mind of the Aquarian that they might not be some sort of revolutionary.
Confident and headstrong, Aries babies are natural-born leaders. They fear being wrong more than anything, and they don't like their authority being challenged.
Pisces often thrive when they realize that their ultimate purpose is not to give in to negativity and fear, but to overcome it. They are often able to brighten others' outlook on life.
Scorpios will always grow, however, when they learn that no one's soul is without darkness, and that most of us can relate to most other people on some level.
The Caps were those kids who used to cry at school over not getting an A. It is important for them to learn that self-worth should not be fully derived from work performance.

For this reason, Tauruses tend to be quite risk-averse. It wouldn't hurt for them to go out on a limb once in a while and risk it for the biscuit!
Of course, friends and family are great. It wouldn't hurt a Cancer to also get to grips with the benefits of alone time, however.
Aquarians are often scared they won't shake things up or raise any eyebrows. This fear becomes a gift when they realize their extreme creativity already sets them apart from the crowd.
However, the inevitable ups and downs of life mean that a permanent state of peace and comfort is impossible. Libra must come to terms with this reality.
Virgos tend to define themselves based on what they have accomplished, but that's not always healthy. A focus on inner development also goes a long way.
Leos tend, unfortunately, to draw their sense of self-worth from the opinions of others. The more you can train yourself out of this tendency, Leo, the better.
The problem is that life can't be exciting all the time. Gemini would do well to recognize that downtime is important for deeper and more meaningful growth.
Sags strongly dislike being controlled and they hold their freedom to travel dear. It wouldn't hurt for them to appreciate their home and local culture sometimes, too, though.
The reality is, of course, that we're all wrong sometimes. Aries would do well to realize that admitting this does not demean their confidence or power.
The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most emotional astute of the star signs. Their deepest fears tend to be related to their personal relationships.
