They make other people's business their own.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Nov 01, 2019
Do you need to know everything that’s going on in someone else's life, even if they don’t want to share it with you? Do you often give unsolicited advice?
If you can’t resist meddling, you may be a busybody. You can’t resist sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, and it doesn’t just stop there. Once you have the information, you want to try to fix things. Usually, your actions and advice just make things worse.
Astrology is a good predictor for determining who in our lives acts this way. While your zodiac sign is one of the elements that influences your behavior, the experiences you’ve had along the way also contribute to determining if you’re a meddler. So, who are the meddling zodiac signs who can't mind their business?
You may not realize that when you intervene on someone’s behalf without their consent, you’re not helping. It may be making a bad situation worse, even if your motives are good. It can be hard to not do something for someone else when you’re convinced you can help, but there are times when people have to discover for themselves the solutions to their problems.
1. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus know best. End of story. What kind of person would they be if they didn't share their expertise with those in need? The problem is that Taurus doesn't stop to think if their meddling is helping or hurting the situation.
Once they've decided to engage, they go full steam ahead. If they believe they know best for someone, nothing is going to stop them from getting involved, and if things turn out badly, that's okay because at least they tried.
2. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians just want to help. Is that so wrong? They might insert themselves in a situation where their presence isn't appreciated, and they may make things worse, but their heart was in the right place.
Sometimes they're too optimistic and don't consider all the variables, or they may say something that escalates the situation instead of making it better. At least they got involved instead of standing by and doing nothing.
3. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
If a Gemini sees injustice or someone doing something they shouldn't, they step in and try to right the wrongs. Sometimes people don't want Gemini to stand up for them or point out how they've messed up, but Gemini is going to do it anyway.
They speak up and participate even if the situation has nothing to do with them. They aren't onlookers waiting for disaster to happen. No, they're going to do something even if it's the wrong something.
4. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
When there's trouble, Leo has the answer. If you're not doing what you should or aren't making the most of your potential, Leos try to maneuver you in the right direction. They have a strong sense of right and wrong, and they're not shy about voicing their opinion.
Yes, Leos are known as being interfering and bossy, but that's just who they are. They can think outside the box. So, what you might think of as meddling is creative problem-solving.
5. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
As if Aries didn't have enough to occupy them, they need to stick their noses in other people's business. They just can't help themselves! They're impulsive like that and also have trouble stopping themselves from giving advice or suggestions.
Aries have the best intentions and truly want to help. But they're not always keyed into the fact that their help isn't wanted. Aries are confident and think if more people acted as they did, the world would be better off.
