These 5 Zodiac Signs Are Constantly Late (To Literally Everything)
Well, this explains things.

I am late for literally everything. EVERYTHING. It does not matter if I leave an hour before an appointment or five minutes before a meeting starts â I will always and forever be the person who is fashionably late.
And honestly, Iâm okay with that. I am now comfortable with always being late because it just keeps happening.
My sister, on the other hand, would rather just not go somewhere if she knows she will be even a few minutes late. And the only thing she hates more than being late is ME â well, me when I drive her somewhere. I know weâre going to be late no matter how early she drags me out of the house. (Sorry, sis).
But if you ask me, there really are only two groups of people when it comes to things like appointments, meetings, and work: the constantly late squad and the ridiculously early squad.
Â
I donât think itâs very often that people are exactly on time for things; especially not every single time. And if you are, then you must be a wizard because thatâs impressive.
Another issue I personally have that always makes me late for things is how calm I can be even when I know thereâs a real possibility of me being late.
Take, for example, when I am headed to work in the morning. I take the bus (almost) every day to work, but even though my bus stop is only a block and a half away, I still take my time getting ready.
Why? Because I think that it wonât take nearly as long as it does to walk there and, by the time I finally leave my apartment, I have to book it so it doesnât leave without me. *SIGH* I will never, ever learn.
But even though I know how annoying it is to arrive late to most things, I try not to get annoyed with other people when theyâre late to meet me.
Trust me â I know all the factors involved when it comes to making sure you get somewhere on time. But I also know that not everyone sees being late as excusable.
In fact, a lot of people would agree that chronic tardiness says a lot about your character, which isnât always a flattering thing to hear.
Another factor that can affect your character â including whether youâre more prone to being late all the time â is your zodiac sign.
In fact, some signs are more likely than others to constantly be late to everything ⊠even if they had 20 alarms set on their phone.
But according to astrology, being late all the time isnât something these signs can help. They always have something else on their plate or on their mind, and being late is just something they canât help.
Of course, the zodiac signs that are always on time donât really appreciate this quality, but if your horoscope tells you that youâre going to be late to something no matter how hard you try, you tend to ignore what people have to say about your (lack of) promptness.
ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Aries has a lot going on, period. If you ever get a peek at her planner, it is packed full of meetings, nail appointments, dates, and time for friends.
So when she always talks about how busy she is, she isnât lying. In fact, being as busy as she is all the time, Aries pretty much has to bounce from one commitment to the next.
It sounds exhausting just thinking about it, but somehow, she makes it work.
What Aries also makes work (by some miracle) is being able to have time for everyone and everything. She could have a phone call with her boss, a lunch meeting with coworkers, and a bikini wax scheduled for the day, but if you call her up and ask if sheâs free for dinner and drinks, sheâll bust out that planner of hers and pencil you in.
The only thing you have to do is forgive her for being a little bit late. Sheâll definitely show up to everything sheâs planned, but with a schedule like Aries, you canât blame her for forgetting the time.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminiâs reasons for always being late isnât as glamorous as Ariesâ reasons are. In fact, the only reason why Gemini is late to everything is that she canât seem to decide on anything. Hair up or down? Heels or booties? Jeans or a skirt?
Her plans might be as simple as going to the grocery store for wine before her weekly girlsâ night, but she will STILL be painfully late to everything you invite her to.
When you bring up Geminiâs lateness, she might get defensive. She knows that she has a problem with punctuality, but even with all of her apologies, it can still be annoying.
Even when she promises that she wonât miss your birthday party, it can still sting when she shows up an hour late. Donât try to take every late arrival personally, but definitely speak up if it bothers you.
Gemini is known to make an effort when she knows something really matters to her friends.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer is the type of person to get up early, set 10 alarms, set out clothes and shoes the night before, and STILL be late for something. There must be something wrong with the time-space continuum, because no matter how hard she tries, Cancer cannot get anywhere on time.
She might feel overwhelmed with whatever it is sheâs getting ready for (like an interview), but even if she slept in her clothes and brushed her teeth in the car, sheâd still never make it on time.
This pressure to get somewhere on time is way too much for Cancer, and it isnât rare for her to just say, âscrew it!â and bail on her plans.
She would rather just make plans where she can roll in at any time and not have to stick to a schedule, but alas, the world does not work this way.
Make no mistake, Cancer definitely tries, but sometimes, rushing around her apartment looking for matching shoes and her phone just isnât worth the inevitable sweat stains and runny makeup at 7 oâclock in the morning; sheâll take her time, thank you very much.

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22)
Leo is constantly late because she canât seem to tear herself away from staring at herself in the mirror. Just kidding.
Leo, like Aries, always has a full schedule and it can be hard for her to prioritize the things she needs to do rather than the things she wants to do.
A lunch date and a pedicure with her BFF? Perfect! But wait, she also has to pick her mom up from the doctorâs in an hour and a half. She can still do everything right? Not really, girl.
This inability to know whatâs more important than everything else can make it hard on her, but when it comes to spontaneous plans, sheâs screwed.
Leo can NEVER turn down an impromptu drive to get greasy burgers at 2 in the morning, even when she knows she has to be up at 6 AM to get to the airport (and will most definitely oversleep).
She might have the newest smartwatch and per phone permanently glued to her hand, but those things donât help when youâre already late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 19)
Sagittarius lives life the way she wants and doesnât want to be tied down by technology or worse, a watch. It sounds like hippy talk, but Sagittarius doesnât like putting any extra strain on herself just because her watch is telling she needs to hurry.
I mean, technically, it is her boss thatâs telling her she needs to get to work on time, but you know what I mean.
The most common phrase in Sagittariusâ vocabulary is probably something similar to, âIâll see if I can make it.â She really does have to be in the mood to get a move on and trust me when I say that it isnât often she feels inspired to get somewhere early.
This laidback personality is great to have when youâre on vacation, but when it comes to the real world, itâs not exactly smart.
Thatâs why Sagittarius is known for taking a lot of night classes at school and working somewhere thatâs cool with flexible hours or working from home. Hey, canât be late then, right?
