Everyone has one thought that sneaks in at 3am. The confident ones hide it best. Here’s the insecurity every zodiac sign keeps quiet, and, because Feya is nice, what the people who love you actually think.

Aries: that they’re too much

Aries, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Too loud, too fast, too intense. Aries replays every conversation where they came on strong.

What we actually think: you’re the reason anything fun ever happens.

Taurus: that they’re boring

Taurus, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Same restaurant, same order, same jumper. Taurus secretly worries they’re the least interesting person at the table.

What we actually think: you’re the calmest place any of us know.

Gemini: that nobody takes them seriously

Gemini, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

All the jokes and the fun facts and the voice notes. Gemini worries that’s all anyone thinks they are.

What we actually think: you’re the cleverest person in every group chat, and we know it.

Cancer: that they care more than everyone else

Cancer, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Cancer remembers every birthday and worries, quietly, that nobody would remember theirs.

What we actually think: we would. We just aren’t as good at showing it.

Leo: that they’re not actually special

Leo, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

The shine is real, but so is the 3am voice asking if anyone would notice if it went out.

What we actually think: the room is different when you walk in. Always.

Virgo: that they’re hard to love

Virgo, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Virgo knows they’re particular. They worry it makes them exhausting.

What we actually think: your care shows up as details, and we see every one.

Libra: that people only like the nice version

Libra, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Libra worries that if they ever showed their temper, their opinions or their mess, everyone would leave.

What we actually think: we’d like you more. Please, show us.

Scorpio: that they’re too dark to be loved

Scorpio, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Scorpio hides the depths because they’ve been told they’re intense one too many times.

What we actually think: you’re the one we call when it’s really bad.

Sagittarius: that they’ll never settle into a life

Sagittarius, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Behind the adventures is a quiet worry that everyone else got the house, the person, the plan, and they missed the instructions.

What we actually think: your life looks like the one we daydream about.

Capricorn: that they’re only worth what they achieve

Capricorn, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

If the work stopped, would anyone still want them around? Capricorn honestly isn’t sure.

What we actually think: we’d love you unemployed. Take a holiday.

Aquarius: that they’re too weird to belong

Aquarius, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Aquarius acts like they don’t care about fitting in. They care. They just stopped expecting to.

What we actually think: the weird is the best part.

Pisces: that they’re too sensitive for the world

Pisces, from Feya’s zodiac portrait series

Pisces cries at adverts and worries it makes them weak.

What we actually think: you feel what the rest of us are too scared to.
