Healthy and unhealthy ways the moon signs cope with their emotions/problems
Aries
Unhealthy: They turn their emotions into anger until it drains them and they feel nothing. They explode around the ones they love about stupid stuff because they refuse to address the real problem. They fight them, they fight feeling that certain emotion until it turns into feeling nothingness.
Healthy: They fight the problem that is causing them to feel that way head-on and try to solve it as fast as possible. They calm themselves instead of bursting in the heat of the moment and try to talk to their loved ones after they decide whether whatever they have to say is something worth discussing.
Taurus
Unhealthy: They distract themselves with possessions or their work. They lock themselves in their comfort zone and refuse to talk about anything. They indulge in their bad habits to forget about it. They are also prone to ignoring it to the point that everybody around them knows what’s wrong and they would still act like nothing is wrong because of fear of losing whatever shred of comfort they have left.
Healthy: They take time to themselves to relax and understand the problem and where it’s coming from. They try to solve it with whatever way they can, they don’t stop until it’s solved or until they feel better about it. They don’t settle for less than feeling at peace even if it means stepping out of their comfortable surroundings to achieve that.
Gemini
Unhealthy: They criticize and bottle them up. They don’t accept the fact that they’re hurt therefore they do not try to know who or whatever is hurting them. They ignore their emotions, act like they don’t exist which sometimes makes them act cruel.
