Do you plan your travel meticulously and reach before the decided time, or are you one of those who are forever racing against time? Do you overthink about having to go somewhere but then cancel the plan altogether to sit in the comfort of your home? Chances are that your astrological sign is responsible for your punctuality or tardiness. Find out if yours is the most punctual zodiac sign or the most unpunctual one.
Zodiac elements and how they determine punctuality
Every zodiac sign on the wheel has a few stereotypes attached to them — good and bad. Their attributes are mainly ascertained by their modality, ruling planets and elements that they belong to. Signs that belong to the air and fire elements are more dynamic, enthusiastic multi-taskers who run high on spontaneity and passion. Hence, the offshoot of this personality trait is them hurrying and rushing towards fulfilling their every appointment and task at hand. Thus, they could be deemed less punctual than earth signs who are the stabilisers among the 12 zodiacs.
The earth signs love to plan things well in advance and manage their day accordingly. They set personal and professional boundaries and prioritise the projects that need their highest level of attention and time. These signs are particular about giving and following through with their commitments and expecting the same from others as well.
On the other hand, water signs dislike being rushed; they move at their own pace. Controlled by their inner world of emotions, they are intense and thoughtful. Sometimes, they tend to go with the flow or overboard with their anxiety and fail to follow through with pre-decided plans.
Besides elements, the zodiacs are determined by their modalities, too: cardinal, fixed and mutable. Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) display leadership qualities as they like to take the initiative. They are more or less punctual, driven by the sense of completing their tasks.
Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) have a balanced approach and are grounded in nature. They hate tardiness, which makes them mostly punctual. Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) represent adaptability and change. They are always transitioning from one situation in life to another and have a lot on their mind. This is the reason they display a high tendency to get late.
The most punctual zodiac and four sun signs who are running fashionably late, always
Gemini
Let’s face it, Gemini is not the most punctual zodiac sign. This air sign symbolised by The Twins is always full of ideas and is too excited to implement each one of them with equal gusto. Often, they bite off more than they can chew. Hence, Geminis face the consequences by hurrying through everything and everywhere.
This mutable sun sign ruled by the planet of communication represents duality in the zodiac and sometimes struggles with opposing ideas because of which they cannot prioritise tasks. Hence, it is deemed as the most unpunctual zodiac sign.
Sagittarius
This mutable fire sign is ruled by the planet of adventure, Jupiter. Sags represented by the archer are nomads at heart. They love travelling and are frustrated if stuck in unfavourable situations. They are highly spontaneous and ruled by what their heart desires. Hence, they tend to get late to their last-minute plans and appointments.
Pisces
This mutable water sign is the most mature and wise when it comes to fulfilling interpersonal relationships, but they are usually not punctual. The reason is that Pisces are ruled by the planet of dreams, Neptune, and are lost in the world of their own. They are, at times, disconnected from reality and stray from the practical world. This poses a challenge for them to follow a fixed schedule.
Cancer
Again, a water sign, Cancerians are the most emotional of the lot. Hence, they overthink love and at times over-empathise with others. The zodiac is clued into their inner emotions and, hence, dwells on things too much, ignoring the trappings of the material world. They naturally worry and get anxious easily. Chances are that they usually put their plans off or postpone them because they don’t feel up for it. Therefore, they appear on the list of the unpunctual zodiac signs.
Aquarius
An intelligent air sign denoted by a water carrier, Aquarius has grand plans that they are committed to, which are about the greater good and community service. They are ruled by the planet of revolution, Uranus, which propels them to think big. Generally selfless, they get engaged in projects that they have not signed up for, just because of their charitable nature and, thus, run behind the schedule for their planned appointments. As a result, they can be known to be an unpunctual zodiac sign.
