The 6 Most Obsessive-Compulsive Zodiac Signs, According to Astrology

OCD is a mental health disorder that affects a variety of people and happens when a person gets caught up in a succession of obsessions and compulsions. When the term obsession is used in this case, it means unwanted and intrusive thoughts, ideas, images, and urges that bring about intensely upsetting feelings. 

Compulsions are behaviors (often triggered by the obsessions) that a person does as a way to deal with distressing feelings. But could astrology make you more likely to be affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Well, for the obsessive compulsive zodiac signs, there are certain behaviors — such as perfectionism, difficulty in making decisions, and an uneasiness regarding the unknown — that go along with this disorder. And it's bigger than just a horoscope.

OCD is often misrepresented in the media — it can be played for laughs and presented as a funny quirk, but to those suffering from it, it can be very difficult to see the humor if it’s something that controls your life. It’s almost impossible to compartmentalize OCD as it tends to affect how you function at home, at work, in school, in relationships, and out in the world.

Sometimes, OCD co-exists with other conditions, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, hoarding, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. If you think you might have OCD and need help, please make an appointment with a healthcare professional.

1. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

Virgos have many OCD tendencies. First off, they like things to be very clean and organized. If something isn't symmetrical or out of place, Virgo will get extremely annoyed.

They're perfectionists and can dwell on what they think are their own flaws, and sometimes on the flaws of others. They can be overly critical, hard on themselves, and will work too hard to make everything as close to perfect as possible, no matter how impossible that goal is to reach.

2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

It's Taurus' stubbornness that can be an indication of OCD. They like doing things their way and can get very agitated if they're required to do it some other way.

They can be intractable when it comes to their own opinions and will get into it if someone tries to change their opinion. They're so entrenched in their ways that it's almost impossible to get them to try something new, and this flexible inability and dependence on repetition can be a compulsive behavior.
