October’s cool air and changing leaves usher in an emotional transition that affects everyone differently. Some zodiac signs may wear their hearts on their sleeves, while a few choose to hide their emotions and pretend as if everything is OK, even when it isn’t.
These zodiacs tend to repress their true emotions, claiming everything is fine while they are battling inwardly. This could be because of pride, stubbornness, or simply their temperament. Curious as to who these signs are? Let’s take a look at the five zodiac signs that are putting up a front this October.
Taurus
Tauruses are well-known for their stubbornness, and they’re likely to amplify it this October. They refuse to display weakness when confronted with life’s obstacles. Taurus despises the concept of being perceived as vulnerable by others, thus they will go to great lengths to keep a calm, composed façade, even if they are internally unraveling.
They’re the type who smile through the tension and insist everything is OK, even when it’s clear they’re dealing with something serious. If you know a Taurus, now might be a good time to check in with them. They’re likely to appreciate the gesture, even if they don’t say so.
Leo
Leos enjoy being the center of attention, but this October, their signature confidence may be more on display than normal. Leos often put on a brave face because they do not want to disappoint others who look up to them. Even when they are insecure or agitated, they will act to have everything under control.
They’ll keep publishing their flashy social media updates, giving the impression that they’re doing well, but there could be a storm developing beneath the surface. It is difficult for a Leo to accept when they are not doing well, especially when their reputation is at danger. Keep an eye on the Leos in your life; they may require more support than they admit.
Virgo
Virgos are perfectionists to the core, and the strain can be especially intense in October. They don’t want people to think they’re sliding or losing their hold, so they’ll put on a strong front, attempting to maintain their faultless image. Even if they are overwhelmed by job or personal concerns, they will soldier on, painstakingly maintaining appearances.
Their drive for control causes them to bottle up their feelings, making it difficult for others to recognize when they are hurting. If you ask a Virgo how they’re doing, anticipate a scripted “I’m fine,” even if they’re anything but. Virgos are tough, but even they have limits, and it is critical for them to take rests.
Scorpio
Scorpios are typically reserved, so it’s no wonder that they suppress their genuine emotions when things go bad. Scorpios may be experiencing inner turmoil this October, but they will go to great efforts to keep it a secret. They despise the concept of being perceived as weak or vulnerable, and they believe that their emotions are private.
Instead of opening up, Scorpios will bury their emotions deep, putting on a poker mask that tells everyone they’re alright. Behind closed doors, they may be dealing with more than they admit. This month, people who are close to a Scorpio will benefit much from patience and understanding.
Capricorn
Capricorns are famed for their work ethic and sense of responsibility, yet the pressure may be overwhelming. This October, Capricorns may find themselves juggling too much, yet they will still act as if they have everything under control. They don’t openly voice their frustrations, especially when they have goals to attain and deadlines to meet.
Capricorns will repress their tension and present a brave face, unwilling to admit they are struggling. They care too much about their reputation to acknowledge they’re feeling overwhelmed, so they’ll keep moving forward, no matter how fatigued they are. If you find a Capricorn in your life being overly busy, advise them to slow down before they burn out.
These five zodiacs may be doing everything they can to keep their cool in October, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t feeling the pressure. It’s a wonderful reminder to check in on others around us, even if they seem to have it all together.
