People have been living in a demure or brat state of mind ever since the terms went viral on TikTok, but which one are you, based on your zodiac sign?

Reminiscent ofY2Kandindie sleazefashion trends, being brat was essentially defined as being an “It” girl, but doing it effortlessly. It’s about not taking yourself too seriously but also not being afraid to speak your truth.

As summer came to a close, however, a new TikTok state of mind emerged as influencerJools Lebronpopularized the term “demure.”

In sharp contrast to “brat summer,” the demure trend is all about being “very mindful” of those around you. By definition, the word is used to describe someone who is more reserved, modest or shy.

While Leos, who love to be the center of attention and have a flair for the dramatics, are total brats, Saturn-ruled Capricorns who crave discipline and responsibility are demure to a tee.
