Putting things off is in their nature.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Nov 06, 2018
Let's see... I was supposed to have this article in weeks ago, but I kept on thinking there were more important articles to be written so I put it off. And then, I put it off again. And then, it was decided, by myself, that I am one of the huge procrastinator zodiac signs and that going by the expression, "Why put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow?" is basically my modus operandi.
What zodiac sign am I in astrology? Well, it will be one of listed six, that's for certain. I don't like being a procrastinator, but I don't think procrastination cares whether I like it or not. We procrastinators aren't about wasting time; we're just about not doing something in a timely way. And that can bring on some fairly large problems these days.
There are people who are goal-oriented and ready to achieve. Then, there are those who really kinda sorta like the idea of accomplishment and completion, but there's the missing cog in their nature that says, "Ah, so what. I'll be late, is that such a crime?"
Well, lack of integrity isn't a crime but it certainly shows lack of respect for others. Procrastination is a bad habit, simply put.
1. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
One of the reasons Aquarians are right up there with the big boys when it comes to procrastination is that they are so filled with self-doubt that they sabotage their own doings by bringing in the idea of failure.
This looming ghost gets in the way of their self confidence, and instead of admitting total defeat, they stick to it. They do it at their own pace... way too late.
2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Because Taurus actually doesn't want to do the work it takes to complete any project, they fall back on their standard: procrastination. Oh sure, they'll get it done... eventually, but they're in no rush.
And if they feel the pressure, then the rush job concept gets pushed back even farther into the recesses of laziness and lack of accomplishment. Taurus is a sign that never would have even made it on to the zodiac because it's so representative of procrastination.
3. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You may think Libra is on the ball and that it's a given they'll come through for you with whatever it is they're supposed to come through with, but alas, Libra always and inevitably works for themselves, on their own time, according to their own pacing.
So, if putting a thing off is procrastination, then so be it. They don't care, because they don't notice. Libra lives in their own world and they do everything at their own very slow pace.
4. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
At once Virgo is both a perfectionist and procrastinator deluxe. They have every intention in the world of dreaming big and making those dreams come true... as long as it doesn't actually mean "real work."
Self-effort isn't big with Virgo. Well, not in the "action" department. Sure, they are great with physical feats, and you'll find them in the gym at 5 AM, doing their best, but when it comes to finishing a task that might be ever so difficult, you'll have to wait for months for the procrastination to be over.
5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Hi. Yeah, it's me. El Procrastinatore. Sagittarius are so consumed with their million and one great ideas that they become overwhelmed at the idea of executing even one of them.
It becomes a true battle for the top spot, and the competitors are imagination and laziness. Oh, and they tend to cancel each other out. Don't rely on a Sagittarius to come through with your incredibly important action, but do rely upon them to come up with the idea for you.
6. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
They want to please you. And because this desire to please is so great within them, they find almost any excuse at all to not get involved simply because involvement puts them on the front line and then they'll have to do something about it, which is a thing no Pisces ever wants to do.
They're happy to procrastinate; in fact, if their procrastination makes you lose interest in their participation, then all the better because the truth is, Pisces didn't want to do it anyway!
