5 Zodiac Signs That Wake Up and Choose Chaos

When it comes to dealing with life situations, there are some people who veer towards the calmer side of the street. They truly take their time to assess and understand situations and opt for a logical approach. On the other side of the street, there are those who simply wake up and choose chaos—whether that’s in being confrontational or dropping little morsels of doubt to orchestrate a little bit of discord. The difference in approach may have something to do with the stars, so find out which zodiac signs are likely to play on the chaotic side of the street.

“I am literally going to get violent,” Euphoria’s Maddy Perez famously said. “Relatable AF!”  Scorpios across the nation chimed. We can’t talk about waking up and choosing chaos without talking about our scorpion sisters who are famous for having that lethal stinger at the ready. And while these icons of vengeance and retribution won’t get violent like Maddy (because that is never the answer), they will absolutely make sure they get even somehow. You blabbed about one of their treasured secrets? Guess who’s now blocked from all forms of communication. You cheated? Sayonara to all your work ‘fits now covered in bleach. The general philosophy here is, “Revenge is a dish best served cold,” so while they may not confront you outright, best believe when they come for their retribution, they’ve combed through your story, identified all the plot holes and are doling out a revenge plan of action they consider appropriate. It’s worth mentioning these water signs are ruled by Mars, the God of War, so tread lightly with these forces of nature.

Fiery Aries are like hurricanes when they walk into a room. Though they too are ruled by Mars, their brand of chaos is not about the get back, like Scorpios. Aries are fun-loving, spontaneous beings. They’re full of boundless energy and verve which can be overwhelming to someone of a demurer nature (Pisces, for example). Expect these rams to stir up debates on polarizing topics just to get the crowd going. Was Bridgerton 2 really as good as the first one? Does Aquafina taste all that different from any other bottled water brand? Is Carrie Bradshaw truly a villain or have we all gotten too big for our moral britches? Where most people hesitate for fear of creating chaos, the rams will march through because of their ardent curiosity. And because of their fiery nature, expect to find them right in the middle of the fray, adding tidbits of opposing info to keep the fire going.

We love them for their friendly personas, and their charm is damn near irresistible. But these beloved fire signs’ tragic flaw is that they get bored easily, so they too are prone to pot-stirring. These archers are like magicians when it comes to navigating groups, so if you need someone to get everyone to loosen up at a formal dinner, for example, Sags will get the job done. Need to know why Sally and Sam broke up last fall? Or why Andy the accountant left the company so abruptly? A Sagittarius will get chummy with the key players and report back. Unlike Aries who may revel in the chaos and can probably control it, Sagittarians are the happy-go-lucky adventurers who don’t actually do well in disharmony—even if they’re at the root of it. So should the convo go left, you may be left alone in the aftermath.

You don’t have to be an expert farmer to know that taunting a tranquil bull is a bad, bad idea. The same applies to these earth signs symbolized by the fierce animal. While they won’t instigate like our fire signs above, once they’ve been provoked, prepare for a world of chaos until they feel like you understand where you went wrong. Tauruses have the reputation of being laid-back and patient, but don’t test them. Think of the bulls as those people in a friend group who make you think twice before starting an argument because you know once the can of worms has been opened, they won’t relent until they get everyone on their page. Like Real Housewives of Atlanta star—and exemplary Taurus—Kandi Burruss always says, “Don’t start none, won’t be none.”

Symbolized by twins, it’s not like Geminis really choose chaos as much as it just so happens they’re in the middle of it…like…all the time. It is Gemini’s nature to constantly be of two minds, so imagine trying to plan a surprise party with someone who is frequently going back and forth on their decision. It is chaotic. Not only are these air signs indecisive, but their infamous childlike spirits also means that their attention spans can be short. Pair that with their notorious gift of gab and you’ll be working double time to make sure they don’t accidentally send everyone in a spiral by spoiling the surprise.
