When it comes to fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and some earth signs, such as Virgo and Capricorn, these obsessions are more obvious, while in the case of Taurus and that of air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), these obsessions go unnoticed and are harder to detect.
For some zodiac signs, these secret obsessions become a shameful vice, difficult to control, while, for others, it is just another aspect of their character that boosts their motivation.
What is your sign’s secret obsession?
Secret obsessions are born from the depths of a person’s psychology. So, in order to find out yours, you have to explore the personality traits that are determined by the stars. Here you can find the secret obsession of each zodiac sign.

Aries (21 March – 20 April)
Always the first. This is the great obsession that controls the Aries natives, who are a very competitive sign that fulfills all the requirements to become a leader. Apart from great physical strength and creativity, the zodiac sign governed by Mars has great self-confidence and persists in overcoming himself.
Aries’ obsession with being better than the others and reaching success has many positive aspects: their competitive character commits them to excellence. However, it is also dangerous, because they often end up justifying the means to an end.
When the wish to be the first becomes an obsession, Aries natives will do whatever it takes to succeed, even if they have to walk over other people or violate moral boundaries in order to do so.
Taurus (21 April – 21 May)
Unlike other zodiac signs, Taurus knows how to hide his obsessions very well and it is difficult to guess which odd habits haunt this sign. Of all their inclinations, their preference for lust is the most unspeakable (and also the least unstoppable). This is Taurus’ great secret obsession: to give in to pleasures and surrender to lust.
Lust is a capital sin, and Taurus natives are rational and conservative people, but they fall easily into temptations and let themselves be seduced by everything that arouses their senses. Drink, sex, frugality and unrestrained luxury make them vulnerable.
Taurus natives try to appear strong and stable, but behind that image lies a great scoundrel, which makes them tenderly seductive, but it can also lead them down the path of bad vice.
Gemini (22 May – 21 June)
By ruling over Gemini, Mercury blesses its natives with the gift of communication. Deep in these natives’ personality lies a great gift for social relationships that makes them needy of human connections. Gemini’s great secret obsession is to meet their soulmate, either as a lover or as a friend.
For Gemini, loneliness is a punishment and isolation, a limitation. They go to social events regularly and are very active in their friendship relations at work or in their closest circles. However, they are also unpredictable, which make others distrust them.
Therefore, paradoxically, they find it hard to make good friends, and they feel a compulsive obsession with meeting new people and finding that person to whom they can connect completely.
Cancer (22 June – 22 July)
A deep personality has a secret obsession with great depth: Cancer natives are obsessed with finding happiness. However, their concept of happiness is not related to the satisfaction of their material needs or to a success associated with social status. For Cancer, to be happy is to satisfy your emotional needs.
When Cancer natives feel that their closest circle breaks up (family relationships, friendships, married life), they start to feel anxious, which leads them into the obsession with achieving stability and safety on a personal level.
Cancer’s obsession with being a successful person in personal relationships and achieving happiness can lead to stressful situations and false expectations.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
Leo is a very transparent zodiac sign: their great theatricality and yearning for showing off reveal their odd habits and obsessions. Apart from the great thirst for power that characterizes them, Leo’s secret obsession is their physical appearance, especially, their hair. You will notice it due to their obsessive need to have a mirror at hand all the time, so they can contemplate themselves.
Leo natives spare no expense for beauty and cosmetic products, especially for the most effective hair care products: anti-hair loss shampoos, hair-conditioning treatments, conditioners, etc. Having a glossy straight hair, a powerful mane, makes them feel safe.
They combine the care of their body and hair with their passion for the latest fashion. Great fans of shopping, Leo natives spend a lot of money on clothes that draw all eyes on them.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Virgo natives are famous for their compulsive obsession with cleanliness, but their great secret obsession is less known: they are vicious hypochondriacs. It is all part of the need to keep everything under control, and health is one of the things that concern them most, because order and cleanliness are subordinated to their great goal of living healthy.
Virgo can become a very manic zodiac sign with a high level of stress. But if they hate dirt and disorder, it is because they unconsciously see it as a threat to their health. At any symptoms, they start to become uncontrollably distressed.
When Virgo natives are unwell, they start looking on the internet for possible causes of their ailments, which makes them panic and that leads to a severe state of paranoia.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
The sign of the middle of the zodiac wheel takes his obsession with finding balance to the extreme. Besides, this becomes worse since this zodiac sign belongs to the seventh House, which represents the couple and relationships. Therefore, within the natives of this sign, there appears a very characteristic feature of Libra’s deep psychology: the secret obsession with scrutinizing other people’s behavior.
Libra natives need to know why a person in their close circle makes a certain decision or what the motivation for a certain behavior is, because, in this way, they can understand the injustice of a situation and solve it.
In turn, Libra is a very rational sign that is obsessed with finding some middle ground, which is why this is one of the zodiac signs that tend to control their obsessions the most.
Scorpio (23 October – 22 November)
Scorpio natives often become obsessed with what stays hidden from others, which can turn into strange tastes or morbid inclinations. They are people who love the unusual, who are attracted by what generates rejection in others: death, cemeteries, occultism, spirits or blood are examples of their obsessions.
However, Scorpio natives do not settle for morbid curiosity, which is only the engine of their great objective, that is, to unravel mysteries. When these people come across an enigma, they are capable of using all their energy to solve it, and that undertaking becomes an obsession.
Endowed with great skill, their desire to discover what lies behind the unknown makes them great detectives. But, when they become obsessed, they show the most macabre side of their personality.
Sagittarius (23 November – 21 December)
Sagittarius’ obsession is very important and it is related to basic and metaphysical questions that people have been asking themselves for centuries. It is well known that Sagittarius is an optimistic and well-travelled sign, but what many people do not know is that, behind that image of hedonist, there hides a confirmed philosopher.
Sagittarius natives wonder about things that others, who are determined to live a more prosaic life, do not even consider. However, Sagittarius is obsessed with thinking about human beings: where we come from, where we are going, what life is, what death is, and such matters.
The good thing about this is that Sagittarius does not find the answer to these enigmas, but enjoys reflecting on them. That is why every doubt leads them to a new question.
Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)
Capricorn is a zodiac sign obsessed with material wealth and their obsession with making more and more money is never satisfied. The more money they have, the more they work to get more money, which leads them to their great secret obsession: power. For Capricorn natives, nothing makes them more powerful than purchasing power.
In Capricorn’s materialistic opinion, money can buy everything, even happiness. That is why they have no other goal in life than to accumulate more and more money. They are capable of anything in order to get even the last penny. And, of course, be powerful.
Although they sometimes lack talent, their determination and self-confidence takes them where they want. However, their rise is silent and their will to power, a secret.
Aquarius (21 January – 19 February)
If there is something that characterizes Aquarius’ personality is his excruciating determination to always split hairs. That tediously critical spirit leads to their great secret obsession: always finding an alternative solution. This is a very unique perfectionism, the inherent obsession with believing that what is in a way might be better in another way.
Aquarius natives are the great altruists and humanitarian co-operators of the zodiac. If they manage to start up and make succeed the most ambitious solidarity projects, it is because they have a secret obsession with finding new (sustainable) ways of functioning.
Actually, what motivates them is innovation, progress, answers. When their rebellious and revolutionary soul becomes obsessive, they are able to show their full potential.
Pisces (20 February – 20 March)
Pisces’ long-suffering and reserved character, which tends to the worst side of feelings, makes them inclined towards destructive vices. Pisces natives are very prone to addictions, which leads them to fall into dangerous temptations for their health, from drugs and alcohol to fast food and video games.
It could be said that, of all the zodiac signs, Pisces are the most susceptible to compulsive obsessions that help them ease the incurable anguish that haunts them. Besides, their vices are integrated into their lives in the most discreet way possible.
The problem with Pisces natives is that they are also emotionally dependent people. So, what makes them feel better eventually becomes a need from which they cannot escape.
