Most Irrational Zodiac Signs

Irrational Star Signs

In making life decisions, everyone can be irrational at times. We’ve all had moments where we behaved unreasonably because we were upset, angry, or dealing with other extreme emotions. While it is true that everyone has the potential to be close-minded and irrational, some people are more prone to it than others due to their innate characteristics. Here is a ranking of the different zodiac signs based on how irrational they can be:

Most Irrational Zodiac Sign (Least to Most)

1. Capricorn
2. Leo
3. Virgo
4. Taurus
5. Libra
6. Aquarius
7. Scorpio
8. Pisces
9. Aries
10. Cancer
11. Sagittarius

1. Capricorn

Capricorns are often hailed for their practicality and pragmatism. This earth sign doesn’t just make decisions in the heat of the moment. Instead, they would give things a lot of thought and would only take an action that they feel is the most practical at the moment. Capricorn people are naturally sensible and this helps them make the right decisions in various situations.

2. Leo

Leos have a reputation for being natural-born leaders. In any social group, they’re usually the most sought after to take leadership positions due to their boldness and charisma. But beyond being charming tough-talking people, Leos are also great at making intelligent decisions. They love to observe people and learn from their experiences. This tendency for careful decision-making protects them from making irrational decisions. In most cases, if a Leo decides to take any action, they must have considered all other logical options.

3. Virgo

Virgos are perfectionists which put them among the least likely to make irrational decisions. They understand that whatever actions they take, it’ll most likely cause a ripple effect that affects other people and things around them. This is why they usually consider all logical options before making decisions. In fact, the Virgo’s tendency to take time with making decisions may sometimes tend to the extreme-as they might get caught up in weighing up all the options instead of simply acting.

4. Taurus

Once they make decisions, Taureans tend to stick to them stubbornly. Therefore, they like to consider all available options before acting. The bull is a practical-minded creator that doesn’t do life based on fantasies. They can be trusted to be mature and dependable with decision-making. Taureans are also strong and independent-minded. This means they’re the least likely to be swayed by peer pressure or group opinions. People born under this sign are particularly great at making financial decisions. Because they love security, you can trust them not to make irrational decisions when it comes to making money.

5. Libra

The Libra’s obsession with balance and equilibrium is the major reason why they can be trusted not to make irrational decisions. Librans consider everything and everyone in making vital decisions. Libras are scared of change and its consequences so they try not to take drastic decisions too often. They also avoid actions that can cause disharmony and confrontation. Every decision is made considering all of these factors.

6. Aquarius

Aquarians are often considered one of the most intelligent zodiac signs. Their intelligence makes them great decision-makers that can be trusted to make sensible choices for the good of everyone. However, Aquarius people sometimes make big mistakes in their life choices. They are typically arrogant and their overconfidence often leads them to make decisions without fully considering other people’s opinions or weighing their full impact on others.

7. Scorpio

Scorpios are calculative when it comes to decision-making which makes them one of the least likely to make irrational choices. They’re deep thinkers and they carefully consider various options before taking an action. This tendency to sit on decisions for as long as possible makes them very slow decision-makers. If they settle for an action, it means they firmly believe that it is the right action to take in the given situation.

8. Pisces

Pisceans are naturally dreamy so most people don’t expect them to be logical thinkers. As water signs, they’re quite intuitive and they make decisions based on their gut feelings. But that’s not to say they make irrational choices. Most times they consider other people’s feelings and the consequences of their actions on them. Pisceans also have a sharp mind which allows them to analyze situations very quickly. However, having an idealistic view of the world isn’t always a good thing. Pisceans may sometimes make decisions based on “what should happen” instead of focusing on reality.

9. Aries

Arians are naturally intelligent, and this is often reflected in their decision-making. They may drag out decision-making mainly because they do not trust their own intelligence. People born under this sign may be too optimistic to be rational. They make decisions based on how they feel in a given situation. Instead of considering all the facts and details of a decision, they simply take actions based on what aligns with their values the most.

10. Cancer

Cancers are known for their emotional sensitivity and this often stands in the way of rational decision-making for them. Even though they’re intelligent, they’re too emotional to be pragmatic. Since they’re water signs, cancers are mostly intuitive in decision-making. They’ll make decisions based on what feels good to them rather than what is actually good. They are also too sympathetic to themselves and others and this makes them illogical in some cases.

11. Sagittarius

Sagittarians tend to make impulsive decisions, but they usually believe that they’re doing so for good reasons. When faced with many options, Sags may make spur-of-the-moment decisions. Everything is an adventure to them and they don’t mind the consequences of their actions as long as it feels good to them. The tendency to follow wherever the wind leads is what makes them such irrational decision-makers.

12. Gemini

To the Gemini, all the options available look great and they often have a hard time making sound decisions. When faced with multiple options, they’ll go for the most socially acceptable one because they enjoy making others feel good. They’re often caught trying to play both sides in two contrasting worlds because they want to keep everyone satisfied. Geminis are often unrealistic in their approach to life. This is why they cannot be trusted to make rational choices.

Conclusion

Irrational decision-makers tend to take action before giving much thought to it or weighing their options. Of course, we can’t all be pragmatic. A little spontaneity can add some adventure to life. If you’re ranked high on the list of the most irrational zodiac signs, just make sure you’re more intentional with your decisions, and you weigh the pros and cons of every decision before making them.
