Most of us don't think of ourselves as doormats until it's too late. By then, we've been stepped on so many times we think it's normal. That's when a good friend needs to step in and help us get a grip. Take a look at the descriptions below for how each Sun sign tends to become a doormat. You may see a friend who could use your help, or maybe you'll see yourself.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
Impatience is your weakness, Aries, and it gets you in trouble every time. Seduced by the promise of a quick fix, you lower your standards so much you fall flat on your face. The next time you feel tempted by the latest and greatest, slow down, do your research and look before you leap.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Change isn't your strong suit, so you dig in your heels to maintain the status quo ... but then you end up digging your own grave and people walk right over you. Work on remaining open and flexible when new ideas are proposed. Remember, change can be your friend.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Being a big gabber yourself, it's easy for you to get sucked in by fast talkers. Their spiels mesmerize you and you forget who you are. Then you're putty in their hands. The best way to avoid scammers is to demand they walk their talk. If they don't, you need to snap out of it and move on.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
You'll do anything for family and home, so of course it's easy for your loved ones to take advantage of you. Go ahead and aspire to being Mom or Dad of the Year, but don't sacrifice your own life. Set limits and reserve time for interests and activities that nurture you.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
You're a sucker for praise and as long as anyone is piling it on, you'll continue to eat out of their hand. That's not always a bad thing, unless they're just stroking your ego to jerk your chain. Keep checking in with your conscience so you don't take a wrong turn.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You prefer to be a perfect lady or gentleman, so when faced with conflict, you often choose to step aside. Problems arise when you stuff your feelings, grow resentful and then start using passive-aggressive behaviors. It's easier to be up front with your feelings from the get go ... in a polite way of course.
