In any workplace, certain people get overworked more than others. This is mainly because some people are simply more naturally inclined to take on more work for themselves or accept additional assigned work than others. Others only prefer to do what they have been assigned to do and will never prioritize work above other aspects of their life.
A person’s zodiac sign can explain behavior like this. The reason why you’re always stressed and overworked is probably because you can’t help it. Your zodiac sign predisposes you to want to take on more work than others regardless of its impact on your health and personal life. In this article, we rank all the zodiac signs based on how overworked they are starting from the least to the most overworked zodiac sign.
Zodiac Overworked Ranking (Least to Most)
Least Overworked to Most Overworked Star Signs
1. Leo
Just like real-life lions, the Lion of the zodiac chart is charming and adorable. Leos also tend to be creative, which positions them to claim the limelight naturally. They’ll do exploits if only they have enough dedication and hard work in them to make it happen. Leos are generally very lazy and it’ll take a miracle to get them to work not to talk of getting overworked. They tend to take on creative positions like acting or singing. Regardless of what profession they’re in, Leos are too chill to be bordered by work.
2. Aquarius
Aquarians have many interests and they’re passionate about a lot of things. If only that passion will ever translate to real work? Aquarians would rather sit around and think of all the work they could be doing and all the things they could achieve without actually doing anything. They know what work needs to be done, but they also know just how boring and monotonous hard work can be. So they simply avoid it instead of getting stuck on it.
3. Taurus
Taureans will ditch work and relax at any opportunity they get which makes them less likely to ever get stuck with too much work. They’ll leave everything and put up their feet to relax or take a quick nap at any chance they get. Taureans are, however, very homely people. This means they always manage to have their home tidy and organized. That’s the only type of work they enjoy doing but not enough to make a habit out of it. Their natural way of life is to do the least amount of work possible instead of going all out and getting worked to the bones.
4. Pisces
Pisces people enjoy their comfort zone too much to get overworked by doing work. Most times when they work, their mind is far away in imagination land. This love for escapism always makes them seem distracted at work. It is difficult to overwork someone whose mind is not even in the work in the first place. People born under this sign are chronic procrastinators. They’ll leave things till the last minute, then rush to get the work done. This puts them under a lot of pressure sometimes and they may get overworked just so they don’t miss a deadline.
5. Cancer
Cancers do love work to some extent. They particularly enjoy household chores and do a pretty good job at it. But they’re the last to ever get bordered by work or get pushed into rushing work or doing too much. They’re only diligent when they want to be. The Cancerian’s methodological approach to every task they’re given is the major reason why they’re unlikely to be overworked. They can multitask effectively without getting burned out mainly because they work at their own pace. This allows them to be very productive without being stressed. Of course, managers and supervisors can find people that work on their own terms like this difficult to deal with.
6. Gemini
Due to the Gemini’s calm nature, they always manage to appear like they have no care in the world even when they’re clearly overworked. This encourages people to pile on even more work and try to get them to do things. But the Gemini will only work if they want to. In fact, they’ll retreat from work for some rest and alone time if they start to feel overwhelmed by it.
7. Scorpio
The Scorpion’s ambition is the main reason why they tend to get overstressed. Once a Scorpio sets his/her eyes on a goal, they’ll go all out to accomplish them even if that means working to the bones. They don’t give room for distraction and even rest is considered a distraction. The Scorpio’s personal life and family often end up suffering from them doing so much work.
8. Aries
The main reason Arieses end up being overworked is because they cannot say no to anything. If their boss or supervisor asks them to do overtime or pile on the excess workload on them, they will accept it without complaint. Naturally, their personal life and rest will be affected by doing so much and overexerting themselves. They often pay dearly for this; losing friends and being stressed most of the time.
9. Virgo
A Virgo’s self-drive and determination is every manager’s dream. People born under this sign are ambitious to a fault. Their perfectionist nature often pushes them to give everything to their work. They’ll willingly put in the extra hours on the job just to make sure they get everything done to their own high standard. Virgos are likely to suffer from being overworked and exhausted sometimes leading to a massive breakdown.
10. Libra
Librans are in the habit of biting off more than they can chew. This is the major reason why they’re stressed and overworked a lot of times. How they always manage to have too much on their table is inexplicable. Having to do so much can often leave a Libra stressed. It doesn’t help that they crave balance in everything. They don’t mind putting their health on the line just to make sure a project is not left unfinished.
11. Sagittarius
Sags are the type to say yes to extra work without asking for the details. They see an opportunity in everything and they’re eager to take on responsibilities as long as it promises some reward. Having this sort of “ask question later” attitude often leads to them being left with more than they can chew. They’ll still get the job done but at the expense of their health and personal life.
12. Capricorn
When Capricorns have work to do, they’ll miss everything including the comfort of their bed just to make sure the work is done. Their loyalty makes them great followers. If they feel good enough about a company and they’re treated right, Capricorns don’t mind being overworked to ensure all work is done properly.
Conclusion
Hardworking people are the best to have as your employees and co-workers. They’ll put in more work than others and make sure things get done properly before they rest. Of course, overstretching and overburdening people isn’t a great idea. It’s best not to take undue advantage of a hard-working person’s willingness to work as this may backfire in the long run.
