Do you consider every option before you make a decision?
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Mar 19, 2018
Do you have trouble making decisions? Making a decision sometimes has weighty consequences, and results that last much longer than the actual decision, making people not just indecisive, but scared of what will happen once a decision has been made.
And when you're one of the indecisive zodiac signs, it may seem like you're wishy-washy or weak, but that’s not the truth. Even a horoscope can reveal that there are no guarantees in life, and as much as we may crave a sure thing, they’re pretty hard to come by.
People who are indecisive don’t want to miss out and they want to make decisions that will lead to satisfaction.
The trick is to make a decision as quickly as possible and to be fine with it, even if it doesn't have the kind of results you wish for. Getting the right amount of information you need before you make the decision is helpful, as long as you don’t go overboard with the research. Sometimes we just have to act, and deal with what happens.
1. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
One of the reasons that Libras have a hard time making a decision is because they want to have the best possible outcome. They may just be about to decide on something and then hesitate about whether they're making a good choice.
They overthink and can come up with a few alternatives for every decision. They're careful and they have a difficult time living with their decisions. So what if they want to review all their options at the snack bar?
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis don't want to miss out. Can't they just choose everything and see what happens? They often feel pressured to make decisions which just makes the deciding even more difficult.
Geminis love to discuss the decision with others and get their input. They're truly interested in other people's opinions about what they should decide. It takes a village to help Gemini make a decision.
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers tend to make most of their decisions based on their feelings, but some decisions are best made if emotions aren't involved. They consistently listen to their heart over their head, and they're very sensitive to what their decisions might mean to someone they love.
They don't want to decide on something only to have it hurt someone else.
4. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are big believers in second chances; however, not all decisions come with alternatives. If you blow a decision on something that is permanent, you can live to regret it. They'll make a decision, go back and change it, then change it again.
It can be exhausting for everyone involved. Although Pisces are very intuitive, they don't always listen to the advice given to them by their inner voice.
5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius tend to vacillate when they're making decisions. They go back and forth, considering all their options, and trying to make the best decision.
They dither and even after they've decided on something, they often want a do-over, because while they may have taken a minute to decide on something, they regret it almost instantly and feel as if they have to start the process all over again.
6. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos tend to take everyone into consideration when they attempt to make a decision. They complicate simple decisions and make easy ones seem more burdensome.
They don't want to decide on something that's good for them but bad for someone else; they want their decisions to be good for everyone. Every leader has their advisers, why shouldn't Leo?
