Manifestation is often described as a way of asking the universe for more, whether that means more money, love, success or opportunities. But sometimes, the reason behind what you want matters just as much as the desire itself. If you are manifesting from fear, insecurity or desperation, it may be worth taking a step back and asking yourself what you truly want to create.

Each zodiac sign can fall into a different pattern when it wants something too strongly. Tarot Card Reader Kishori Sud of EnigmaTarotTribe shares what you may benefit from releasing and where you could choose to place your focus instead.
