Are you an adventurous risk-taker? Or are you a bit more level headed? This article, and your zodiac sign, can answer that question.
How Reckless Are You Really?
Some of us don’t think before we act. Some of us overthink too much. Read on to find out where you fall on that scale. Don’t forget to check your moon and rising signs as well as your sun sign.
Capricorn, Least Reckless
As the cardinal earth sign, Capricorns can be quite indulgent. They are not ones to shy away from earthly delights. However…
Capricorn Continued
Capricorns are by far the least hedonistic earth sign. As much as they love pleasure, Capricorns always keep a level-head when pursuing it. They are far too no-nonsense to be too reckless.
Virgo
Virgos and Capricorns would be tied on the list, if Virgo wasn’t a mutable sign. On the whole, mutable signs tend to be a bit more reckless than their fixed and cardinal counterparts. That being said…
Virgo Continued
Virgos are still earth signs and they are just as practical and pragmatic as Capricorns. They are also far too timid to be considered reckless.
Taurus
Taureans are the most hedonistic earth sign. Honestly, they are the most hedonistic sign in the entire zodiac. And since they are known for giving in to their more epicurean desires, they can be considered the most reckless earth sign. But…
Taurus Continued
As hedonistic as they are, Taureans are still earth signs. And as earth signs, they tend to be more grounded than most of the other signs.
Libra
Air signs are known to be a tad bit flighty. And the cardinal air sign is known to be quite wishy-washy when it comes to making decisions. Because of their indecisive nature, one may think that they are quite reckless. But that’s not necessarily true…
Libra Continued
Libras are indecisive, it’s true. But they are indecisive because they overthink so much. It’s hard to be reckless when you overthink every single daily decision.
Leo
Leos are very theatrical and bombastic. Their larger-than-life personalities may seem reckless to people who don’t know them very well. And that’s an easy assumption to make. However…
Leo Continued
For Leos, all the world’s a stage and they are the head of production. But as any former drama kid will tell you, a production must be meticulously planned. Leos can’t be too reckless if they are planning their theatrics ahead of time.
Cancer
Cancerians are ruled by the moon, the planet that governs our emotions. And just as the phases of the moon are constantly changing, it’s easy to assume that their moods are constantly changing. And that may be, but consider this…
Cancer Continued
The cardinal water sign’s mood may be ever-changing, which could make them somewhat reckless. But keep in mind, they are also homebodies who love nights in. It’s hard to be cozy and reckless at the same time.
Aquarius
Aquarius has the distinction of being the least reckless of the most reckless signs. You may be wondering, how can quiet, solipsistic Aquarius be reckless? I’m so glad you asked…
Aquarius Continued
It’s true that Aquarians are too thoughtful to be extremely reckless. However, they are also very curious. And that curiosity can lead them to wonder “what would happen if I…” And sometimes their curiosity can lead to reckless situations and hilarious results.
Sagittarius
Sagittarians fall somewhere in the middle of the list because they are a bit too introspective and wise to be considered extremely reckless. But consider this…
Sagittarius Continued
Remember when I said that mutable signs are by nature more reckless than the other signs? Well, Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign. And their hard-partying ways and insatiable wanderlust can make them pretty reckless.
Pisces
When you think of Pisces, you may picture a dreamy, peaceful little fish. And it’s true that they can be quite sweet-natured. But does sweetness cancel out recklessness? Short answer, no…
Pisces Continued
Pisces are mutable signs so they have a penchant for recklessness. They also have a tendency towards escapism. Their need to run away from their problems can lead to reckless decisions.
Gemini
Geminis are the most bookish signs in the zodiac. It’s hard to imagine a sign who is happiest curled up with a good book being reckless. But here’s why you’re wrong…
Gemini Continued
Have you noticed that 75% of the mutable signs in the zodiac are among the most reckless? Geminis are the most indecisive sign in the zodiac. But they are not indecisive the way Libras are. They are unable to make decisions because of their erratic and dualistic nature.
Scorpio
Scorpios are water signs, and we tend to believe that water signs are calm and peaceful. But anyone who has ever met a Scorpio knows that there is nothing peaceful about them.
Scorpio Continued
Scorpios are broody and people may mistake their quiet broodiness for level-headedness. But nothing could be further from the truth. Scorpios consider their recklessness a virtue. They’re not here for a long time, they’re here for a good time.
Aries, Most Reckless
We all know that Aries are known to be the angriest sign in the zodiac. But they’re also one of the sweetest signs. They are also secretly the biggest crybabies. Surely they can’t be too reckless, right? Right?! Wrong!

Aries Continued
Aries is the most reckless sign in the zodiac. They are completely ruled by their passions and they tend to feel every emotion they have rather intensely. These intense emotions lead to intense decisions. They also like to do some things purely because they think they’re funny. If Aries had a motto it would be “Hey y’all, watch this!”
