You probably know who in your life you would turn to in a crisis and who you should stay away from.
In an emergency, those in the second group will panic, get very emotional, and be too busy to help.
Maybe they never learned what to do in these situations, or maybe it’s because of their horoscope.
Read on to find out what astrologers have to say about the zodiac signs you should never call in a crisis, from those who might be a little crazy to those who will definitely make things worse.
Taurus
Taurus is usually cool, calm, and collected, which makes them seem like they would be great in a crisis, but they move too slowly to actually help.
Astrologer and owner of Psychic Stina Stina Garbis says they aren’t the type to help you when you need it.
Quick planning makes all the difference, and while Taurus is sitting at home, someone else could get the job done.
Garbis says that, depending on the problem, you could ask these earth signs to just send you money through Venmo or call you from their couch.
Cancer
Cancer is the sign to call if you need help. It is not the sign to call in an emergency.
Ryan Marquardt, the founder of Ryan’s Astrology and an astrologer, tells Best Life that when life gives you a hard time, they won’t have many answers.
They want to help, but they might get angry if you don’t listen to them.
They are also passive-aggressive, and if they let their emotions get the best of them, they can cause more problems than they solve.
Marquardt says, “People with cancer are very protective of the people they love the most, so they’ll be your best ally in a crisis, but they won’t be good at helping you figure out how to get through it.”
Aquarius
Aquarians tend to think ahead, but they can also get stuck in their own heads.
Garbis says that they are a little bit distracted and not paying attention.
If something bad happens, they will probably try to help you out.
Garbis says that because it’s a very smart and unusual sign, it’s likely not to have anything to do with what you’re actually dealing with.
So, even though Aquarius would want to help, you might save time by not calling them when you need help.
Leo
Garbis says, “Leos are drama queens, and they usually have their own problems, which are obviously more important than yours.”
All of these fire signs are about the ego and how it can always be in the spotlight.
If you call them in a crisis, they’ll probably turn the conversation around and talk about their own problems.
Marquardt says, “They’re great at keeping their cool under pressure, and they know how to find the light at the end of a dark tunnel, but most of the time they’re only looking out for themselves.”
Sagittarius
There is enough optimism in a Sagittarius for 20 people.
They will want you to get out of any difficult situation, but they probably won’t be able to help you in a useful way.
Garbis says that this is because they don’t care about anything. Also, they have trouble making a promise.
Their tendency to move around a lot won’t help you when you need to plan and think things through.
And sometimes their positive outlook on life is too much; in a crisis, you’ll need someone who is more realistic and reliable.
Pisces
When faced with uncertainty, Pisces can be hard to decide on and get too emotional.
They are easily upset, so it’s clear that they are the sign of the zodiac you should never call in a crisis.
“It’s important to act quickly and stick to a clear plan,” says Marquardt.
“Neither of these are Pisces’ strong points.” They also have trouble putting aside their own feelings and seeing things as they really are.
As non-confrontational signs, they aren’t very good at dealing with a crisis head-on.
Marquardt says that they have a soft shoulder for you to cry on when you’re in trouble, but they won’t do much else to help you get out of it.
