I believe we carry shadow traits from the previous sign before us and we step into our higher self by obtaining traits of the sign after us

Aries’ shadows traits have the impulsivity and over indulgence that the previous sign, Pisces, does. When Aries are goal driven and focused like a Taurus, they are stepping into their power and are operating from their higher self.

Taurus’ shadow traits have the inability to see other peoples perspectives or hear them out like the more self centered and competitive previous sign, Aries. When Taurus are able to hear other people’s perspectives and share their ideas like Gemini, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Gemini’s shadow traits have the inability to process their emotions correctly like the emotionally constipated previous sign, Taurus. When Gemini are able to allow themselves to actually feel what they’re feeling like a Cancer, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Cancer’s shadow traits have the inability to be secure in themselves and be sure of who they are like the mutable and social chameleon previous sign, Gemini. When Cancers are able to gain more confidence and self assurance in themselves like Leo, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Leo’s shadow traits have the potential to allow their emotions to take over their ability to function like the more emotional and homebody previous sign, Cancer. When Leo’s use their practical and logical abilities like Virgo, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Virgo’s shadow traits have the ability to manifest as particular and specific and fixated like the very stubborn and fixed previous sign, Leo. When Virgos are able to learn how to balance their fixation and allowing room for both the perfect and the imperfect, like Libra, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Libra’s shadow traits have the ability to use their controlling and venusian nature to manipulate their world around them to create this “perfectly” balanced environment, like the very perfectionistic mercurial previous sign, Virgo. When Libras allow room for things to fail and to end like a Scorpio does, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Scorpio’s shadow traits have the ability to manifest as the inner need to be presentable and constantly liked by others therefore manipulating others so that they do, like the Venusian and air sign, Libra. When Scorpios allow themselves to be more authentic to themselves and friendly and open to others like Sagittarius, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Sagittarius’s shadow traits have the ability to manifest as being defensive and aggressive when it comes to emotionally driven topics, like the Mars ruled water sign, Scorpio. When Sagittarius gain the ability to slow down, put their emotions to the side to think clearly and resolve issues in a practical manner like Capricorn, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Capricorn’s shadow traits have the ability to manifest as being stubborn on their beliefs that their world view is the only correct one because of their own personal experiences, like the wisdom driven mutable fire sign, Sagittarius. When Capricorns gain the ability to allow room for other people’s experiences and feelings like the humanitarian sign Aquarius, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Aquarius’s shadow traits manifest as being held back by their limited believes and their self sabotaging self critical nature, like their Saturn counterparts, Capricorn. When Aquarius allow themselves to be open to new ideas and to be more empathetic and understanding like Pisces, they are able to operate from their higher self.

Pisces shadow traits manifest as dissociating from reality thru distractions and procrastination like the flighty Fixed air sign, Aquarius. When Pisces start taking action without distractions and without procrastination, like Aries, they are able to operate from their higher self.
