These Zodiac Signs Are The Most Lazy Of Them All—Are You One Of Them?

The 12 signs of the zodiac all approach things in their own unique way. Some are more disciplined, some tackle their work through random spurts of energy, and others are, well, downright lazy.

Of course, we're not saying the following three signs are bound to be couch potatoes or that the other signs don't have their moments of laziness, but in terms of the quintessential qualities of the signs, these ones are most likely to be lazy.

And P.S.—this would apply to anyone with any of the following as their sun and/or rising sign, or even their Mars sign, with Mars influencing our energy and motivation.

Coming in first place as the laziest zodiac sign—and likely as no shock to anyone—is Taurus. Let's be honest, if these folks are known for anything besides their stubborn streak, it's their propensity to be lazy. They're lovers of luxury to be sure, but they can struggle with the work it takes to achieve that luxury.

They are ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure after all. Feeling good and resting are important, but they must be balanced with action and discipline. For Taurus, walking that line is important, so they don't always let instant gratification win over the delayed rewards of challenges and effort.

Up next, we have Leo, the bold and charismatic lion of the zodiac. If you're surprised to see these proud and regal folks on this list, think again! They might seem confident and cheerful, but they also like to avoid hard work if they can.

Like the only male lion in a pride of females, Leos have no problem letting everyone do the hard work while they bask in the sun. Similar to Taurus, Leo just wants to have a good time, but they must realize they can't always sit everything out when things get hard. And, of course, if they can harness their creative power and fiery energy, they can overcome their laziness.

And finally, we have Sagittarius as the third most lazy sign. The adventurous and spontaneous archer of the zodiac isn't stereotypically thought of as lazy, but when you take a closer look at their free-spirited nature, it's clear that these folks are challenged by the commitment that hard work can take.

They don't like to be tied down, so they'd rather just quit while they're ahead and not hamper their own independence. For Sagittarius to overcome their lazy streak, they must accept that life isn't all fun and games, and if they want something, they have to work for it.

The takeaway

Again, we're not saying these signs are bound to be lazy–or that the other signs won't be—just that these three are the most likely to have a lazy streak. But we don't just say this to get down on the Tauruses, Leos, and Sags of the world!

When you understand your birth chart and your astrological strengths and weaknesses, you can use them to your advantage, and that's what astrology is all about. So if you're a Taurus, Leo, or Sag, just remember you might have to work a little harder to overcome inertia than some of the other signs.
