Fire signs -

Bold, brash, and creative, the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are the stars of the zodiac. It is unsurprising that they have very little time for the mundane.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

A charismatic star sign with abundant energy, Aries is often referred to as a "deflector procrastinator." Aries people will keep themselves so busy that they don't have time for the thing they don't want to do. Figures!

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

More often than not, Aries will fill their schedule with things they would much rather be doing, to the point that they forget about that boring, unfulfilling task.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Leos are not great at multi-tasking; they prefer to do things one at a time. This can mean they put off certain tasks if they don't have someone to help.

© Shutterstock

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

If there is something a Leo doesn't want to do, they will convince themselves they'll get to it when they can. It will keep moving down the list and probably never get done.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

With a wicked sense of humor and an unparalleled taste for adventure, Sags are all about fun. They are avoidance procrastinators; they'll simply ignore things they don't want to do.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

If a Sagittarius gets a bunch of parking tickets, for example, they are more likely to flee the country than to actually get round to paying them!

Air signs - Highly sociable and intellectually curious, the air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) often have short attention spans, which can stop them from getting things done.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Gemini is most accurately described as a "bored procrastinator." It's not that they don't want to get that task done, it' just that they get bored halfway through.

© Shutterstock

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Gemini is the king of unfinished projects. If they lose interest in something or it starts to feel less urgent, they'll drop it and probably never come back.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

A Libra's attitude towards doing things they don't want to do is wholly childish. If a Libra doesn't want to do something, they'll put it off as long as they possibly can.

© Shutterstock

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

Their attitude stems from a deep-seated belief that it is completely unfair that they should have to do something they don't want to. It upsets their whole Zen thing.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Aquarians tend to be quite inventive when it comes to procrastinating. They'll come up with a hundred different reasons not to do something.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Unfortunately, of course, that doesn't usually make the task go away. In fact, it normally grows in size and urgency during the procrastination period.

Water signs -

The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are very in touch with their emotions, so much so that their feelings will often get in the way of their productivity.

© Shutterstock

Cancer ( June 22–July 22) -

Cancers often have a very real fear of repeating their mistakes. For that reason, they'll often go over and over their previous mistakes in their head.

© Shutterstock

Cancer ( June 22–July 22) -

They have great intentions and plan to take action on that tricky task when they've thoroughly thought it out. The problem is they rarely get to that point.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Scorpio has a tendency to procrastinate because they do not want to look foolish. The last thing this sign wants is to look like they don't know what they're doing.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

For that reason, Scorpios will often procrastinate by learning something new, or watching tutorials, rather than actually getting on with the task.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Pisces people don't normally have a strong reason for getting on with boring tasks. They'd rather get lost in something fun and creative.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Not unlike Libra, this sign doesn't think it's fair that they should have to spend time on mindless, soul-sucking tasks, when they could be doing something more enjoyable.

Earth signs - And finally, the earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. These signs often have the best intentions when it comes to boring tasks, but things just get in the way.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

The procrastinating tendencies of a Taurus often stem from their stubbornness. This sign is likely to get embroiled in an argument when they're supposed to be getting on with something.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

Taurus is often so stubborn that they cannot even think about their boring task until they have reached some sort of compromise on the other issue.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Virgos tend to be so detail oriented that they become perfectionist procrastinators. Their downfall lies in their desire to get everything just right.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

This sign tends to worry about every little detail, rather than just getting on with the task. And that even goes for things they don't really want to do.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Caps are usually organized and productive, and in their perfect world they would take on all tasks as they arise. Unfortunately for this sign, however, that's not always realistic.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Caps genuinely don't like the feeling of things hanging over their head, but sometimes it simply cannot be avoided. Often they are just too busy.
