April always starts with deception. Pranks are fun, but year-round we sometimes fail to identify the ways we deceive ourselves. Here, some truths that you might not own up to, organized by sign. Recognize them, accept them, learn from them.

Aries
Insisting you’re a person of action and accomplishment won’t hide the fact that you’re also very sensitive and emotional.

Taurus
Amassing more is impressive, but it might not quiet the fear that there’s never enough for all you crave.

Gemini
Processing anything and everything can also look like procrastinating and prattling.

Cancer
Securing your personal boundaries can easily slip into shutting yourself off from the world.

Leo
Brandishing your powerful personality can give others the impression you’re trying to beat them down. Secretly, you hope they’d just keep up.

Virgo
Readying yourself for greatness might take forever if you don’t know when you are actually ready.

Libra
Being nice is different than being good and true.

Scorpio
Feeling passionately and deeply gives you X-ray vision into human nature, but doesn’t make you invulnerable.

Sagittarius
Thinking broadly will make you smarter, but not necessarily smarter than everyone else.

Capricorn
Climbing a ladder of success won’t mean much if you don’t have anyone to greet you at the top.

Aquarius
Making the world a better place starts with letting others into your world, not just your head.

Pisces
Swimming in your deep emotional waters requires vigilance: Look out for yourself and others.
