Art, obsession, and identity
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.
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.
Virgos tend to be so detail oriented that they become perfectionist procrastinators. Their downfall lies in their desire to get everything just right.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Aquarians tend to be quite inventive when it comes to procrastinating. They'll come up with a hundred different reasons not to do something.
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!
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.
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.
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.
For that reason, Scorpios will often procrastinate by learning something new, or watching tutorials, rather than actually getting on with the task.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
When it comes to doing boring tasks, most of us are prone to a little procrastination. It is a natural human tendency to put off things we don't want to do until the very last minute. The reason for which we procrastinate and the way we go about it is often very different, however. Astrologists will tell you that our procrastination style is largely dictated by our star sign.
