The Most Uptight Zodiac Sign, According to Astrologers

There’s always that one person at a wedding sitting at their table and not up on the dance floor (and we’re not talking about the grandparents). Forget asking them to get together at the last minute or arrive somewhere five minutes late. And don’t even think about taking a trip with them if you’re not okay with having every minute of the day planned out. Hey, being tightly wound doesn’t make them a bad person, but it does mean they might have a certain horoscope. Ahead, astrologers share the most uptight zodiac signs,

Cancers are extremely sensitive. They’ll avoid confrontation at all costs, acting passive-aggressive because they’re too nervous to tell someone the truth—or hear the truth in return.

“In a matter of seconds, stern words can bruise a Cancer at their core and cause them to become incredibly defensive,” says Mystic Sense astrologer Rachel Clare. They’ll then retreat into their shells, continuing to stress about the issue at hand rather than address it head-on. Cancers don’t mean to be withdrawn, but they find life easier that way.

Aries is known for being independent, which means they can be rigid when there’s a change of plans that disrupts their patterns. They also love a little competition and are very passionate about their beliefs.

Clare describes Aries as “fiery and dynamic” and says that they’re quick to shut down when they can’t “let their fire burn, express their opinions, or react to something niggling them.” Once they reach this place, they’ll remain on edge, and it can be hard to convince them to open up again.

Scorpios are infamous for their intensity and fiery tempers. “This results from their strong desire to achieve their goals, whatever it takes,” explains Anastasiya Kirilchik, resident astrologer for the Futurio app. Therefore, they’ll get very agitated if their plans are ruined or if someone tries to change their minds about something.

“They don’t take well to alternative perspectives once they’ve set their sights on something, and can even take someone challenging them as an attack on their character,” says Clare.

Don’t ask a Taurus pal to step outside of their comfort zone. These stubborn bulls are “comfort-seekers who crave stability rather than spontaneity in life,” says Clare.

“While they love to kick back and enjoy life’s luxuries, they are notoriously poor at pushing their boundaries and trying new pursuits,” she explains, adding that it can actually cause them quite a bit of anxiety to do so.

This analytical earth sign likes everything done their way. Clare says these born worriers “seek structure and routine in life.” And since Virgos overthink things, they feel the most secure when they know what’s coming next and can prepare accordingly. This leaves little room for spontaneity, resulting in their type-A reputation.

“When life’s plans inevitably go astray, Virgos are known to completely lose their cool and turn into a worrisome ball of anxiety,” says Clare.

Capricorns are focused on finding success and can act defensively if anything threatens this burning desire to get to the top. Ruled by Saturn, the planet that oversees “rules, hard work, and responsibilities,” Capricorns are “notoriously inflexible in these areas,” says Clare.

It doesn’t help that they also have extreme difficulty relating to people who aren’t as ambitious. According to Clare, Capricorns “fail to be lenient or understanding towards those who are more fluid by nature.” This can be especially problematic in the workplace.

In their minds, they aren’t trying to be uptight; they’re simply hyper-focused on what matters to them and think everything else is frivolous.
