Not everyone has a logical mind. Some people make decisions in the heat of the moment without carefully weighing the pros and cons. However, people who are more pragmatic have analytical minds and they’re able to consider even the finest details and make the right decision. Pragmatic people are sought after in any social group. If you know anyone that’s like this and you’re wondering why they act this way, their zodiac sign can give you a clue. Here’s a ranking of the zodiac signs based on how pragmatic they are.
Zodiac Pragmatic Ranking (Least to Most)
Least Pragmatic to Most Pragmatic Zodiac Signs
1. Gemini
Geminis often have a hard time making decisions because they think all the options sound great. They’re the type to play the devil’s advocate and even simple decisions can be difficult to make because they’re trying to play both sides. They want to be part of two contrasting worlds at the same time because they’re able to see the good qualities of being on either side. This is of course very unrealistic since everyone has to pick a side most times.
2. Sagittarius
As a mutable zodiac sign, Sags follow the wind wherever it leads. They make decisions in the spur of the moment not because they’re sure of what to do, but because they think everything is an adventure. They don’t really consider the consequences of their actions which is why they will make whatever choice without weighing the pros and the cons. Sagittarians don’t care about the rules and they prefer to simply enjoy themselves. This makes them bad decision-makers most times.
3. Cancer
Cancerians are too emotionally sensitive to be pragmatic. While they rank among the most intelligent zodiac signs, being in tune with everyone’s emotions can make it difficult to make decisions. Like other water signs, Cancers are also quite intuitive. Most times they’ll make decisions merely based on their feelings. They’re right most times, but this does not mean they did consider all the logical alternatives before taking the plunge.
4. Aries
People born under this zodiac sign are intelligent. They also make logical decisions most time. However, decision-making for the Aries is always a battle. They’re too skeptical to trust their intelligence and they’ll often drag out their decision-making because they’re still stuck thinking bad and forth.
5. Pisces
People born under this zodiac sign are logical thinkers. They also tend to make decisions very quickly. But that’s not to say they haven’t given it any thought. They just have a sharp mind that makes it easier for them to analyze situations quickly to determine the consequence of each action. Pisceans are also intuitive and they tend to have their head in the clouds a lot. Being out of touch with reality like this sometimes makes it difficult for them to make the right decision.
6. Scorpio
When it comes to being logical and calculative in decision-making, Scorpios perform really well. They’re deep thinkers and it’s unlikely that scorpions will make a decision without first analyzing the situation as deeply as possible. Scorpios might be slow in decision-making because they’re trying to consider all the logical options before concluding.
7. Aquarius
The Aquarius zodiac sign is probably the most intelligent of all the signs on the chart. Most people would even consider them geniuses which makes them great decision-makers in most cases. However, as air signs, Aquarians may sometimes get carried away with their thoughts and feelings. They’re also arrogant because they’re certain of their intelligence. This makes them set in their own ways to consider other people’s perspectives.
8. Libra
There’s no better person to make pragmatic decisions than someone obsessed with balance. Librans like to keep everything around them in balance and they can only do this because they consider all logical options before making decisions. Even though they’re emotional, it’s unlikely that this will get in the way of their decision-making. As long as it is within their power, a Libra will do everything possible to keep everything in a state of equilibrium. Of course, trying to stay neutral may sometimes make it difficult to make a choice especially when the logical choice will most likely disrupt the status quo.
9. Taurus
Taureans are the most practical-minded people you can ever deal with. They’re typically mature and very dependable. You can count on someone like this to make sensible decisions most time. The fact that they have strong and independent minds of their own further makes them pragmatic decision-makers. Tauruses love security. This makes them very dependable when you need someone to make responsible financial decisions. However, they may sometimes give in to self-indulgence but nothing too extreme.
10. Virgo
Virgos understand that every decision a person makes has ripple effects which is why they carefully consider all logical options in order to make the right decisions. Virgos always take their time to think things through because they don’t like being blindsided by the consequences of their actions. Virgos always keep the big picture in mind when making decisions. In their social circle, they’re the logical ones that will give others a reality check whenever they’re veering off track. Their practicality makes them quite efficient both in their business, relationship, and personal life.
11. Leo
Leos are naturally wise and they value experience. Their ability to make intelligent decisions is why they’re often considered the leader of the pack anywhere they are. Leos love to learn from the experiences of others. They’re careful with decision-making as they know that whatever they do will affect others after them as well. A Leo will only make decisions after carefully considering all logical options.
12. Capricorn
Capricorns are masters of practicality. This earth sign always gives things a lot of thought before they act. They’ll always examine all the practical sides of everything before making a move. Capricorns are very sensible and they’re able to handle any situation and get things done properly with no issues at all.
Conclusion
Pragmatic decision-makers tend to give things a lot of thought before weighing in or making a decision. We can’t all be like this. However, it is a positive trait that everyone can benefit from emulating once in a while for their own good.
