5 Zodiacs Most Likely To Suffer From Night Terrors

Do you dread lying your head on the pillow at the end of the day because you’re worried about your dreams tormenting you? Some zodiacs are more prone to night terrors than others, based on their astrological traits. Are you one of the star signs who struggles in your slumber, or are you more likely to be blessed with sweet dreams? Here are the five zodiacs who suffer from night terrors, and what they can do to calm their minds before bed.

Gemini

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intelligence and communication, Geminis have extraordinarily active minds. While this makes them clever and thoughtful, it also breeds a lot of anxiety – especially at night, when they don’t have their friends, hobbies, or other various interests to distract them. The wheels in their head keep turning even in their sleep, and sometimes their vivid imaginations take them to dark places. 

The best way for this communicative zodiac to combat night terrors is to journal about their worries or discuss them with a friend. Geminis in particular must also avoid scrolling online before bed. Instead, they should read a comforting book – perhaps a childhood favorite or something they’ve read before, or a light and fluffy novel. Emptying their heads of their dark fears and filling them light instead will do wonders for their troubled sleep.

Cancer

As the only zodiac ruled by the moon, Cancers have powerful and active minds at night. They become their strongest, most authentic selves after dark, thanks to their connection with the moon’s divine energy. Cancers are compassionate and nurturing, so they tend to worry most about their loved ones – and these fears manifest in their dreams. Their night terrors are about losing their family, partner, pets, or anyone else they hold dear.

Cancers can use their connection to the moon to guide their subconscious into a more hopeful, optimistic place. This star sign, more than any other, benefits from tracking the moon’s phases and using them for manifestation and meditation. For example, if the moon is waxing, they can meditate before bed on what they want to manifest before the full moon that month. If the moon is waning, they can consider what they want to release before the new moon as they get ready for sleep. Harnessing their potent connection to the moon is key to giving Cancers a sense of control over their dreams and making their slumber more comfortable.

Virgo

Like Gemini, Virgo is guided by Mercury, blessing this zodiac with intelligence and communication skills. Virgos are natural worriers, often fretting about things outside their control. They are also prone to negative thinking, which persists even in sleep. This star sign rules the digestive system, and the brain-gut connection exacerbates their worries even more when their diet is imbalanced. 

The best way for this zodiac to stave off night terrors is to take care of their health. Avoiding caffeine, sugar, and alcohol is crucial for Virgos, especially at night. Regular exercise helps keep their health in check and exhausts their frantic minds. Repeating positive mantras before bed can also train their brains to give them good dreams. 

Scorpio

Scorpio is guided by Pluto, the planet of death, destruction, the subconscious, and secrets – these are major themes in their lives, as well as their dreams. It’s easy to imagine how that can make for some intense night terrors. Scorpios are quite controlling, but they can’t control their subconscious, which intensifies their anxiety. Their worries, secrets, lost loved ones, and other dark thoughts may haunt them in their sleep. 

This zodiac hates being vulnerable and sharing their struggles with others, but that’s exactly what they need to do in order to alleviate their fears. Opening up to trusted friends, loved ones, or a therapist will help them navigate the troubled waters of their subconscious. Scorpios must accept that they don’t have to carry the burden of night terrors by themselves – sharing the load will make it lighter and finally give them the sweet dreams they deserve.

Pisces

Pisces’ guiding planet is Neptune, the celestial body of dreams, so night terrors can be especially powerful for this zodiac. Neptune is also the planet of illusion, giving Pisceans vivid imaginations. They can build beautiful castles in the sky with their minds, but they are also prone to depression and negative thinking, which creep into their subconscious. As emotional water signs, Pisces people are particularly sensitive to their dreams, and night terrors may leave them with lingering feelings of unease throughout the day.

It’s crucial for this zodiac to have a relaxing evening routine to protect against nightmares. As the sign of the fish, Pisceans are soothed by water – going for a night swim or taking a warm bath before bed will do wonders to calm their minds and bodies. Adding aromatherapy oils to the tub makes for an extra relaxing experience.
