When you're one of the unpredictable zodiac signs, you're never boring. But the downside to that, at least according to astrology, is that you're also not dependable or reliable. You may have the ability to be spontaneous and exciting, but you aren’t someone others can count on in times of crisis.

Unpredictable peole may surprise you, which of course is the nature of being unpredictable: you never know what they’re going to do, in both good ways and bad. No one likes to be thought of as someone who is completely predictable and who do the same things day in and day out.

It’s easy for a routine to turn into a rut, but when you’re spontaneous in this way, you don’t let that happen because you’re always changing.

When you don’t know yourself, what you’re going to do or say, and no one else does either, it’s always fresh and interesting. You surprise yourself and others and you’re open to the possibilities. You take chances and put yourself out there because you enjoy other things that are unpredictable. 

1. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarians don't feel compelled to follow anyone's rules, not even their own. They don't let people dictate what they should or shouldn't do; they think for themselves and are rarely influenced by what other people suggest.

Aquarians are present and in the moment. They tend to roll with whatever comes their way and try not to regret when things don't go the way they expected.

2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis hate to schedule things in advance, and if they can avoid making a plan, they will. They usually have a ton of stuff going on and it can be overwhelming to them and cause them to be late or even forget about appointments.

Geminis like to keep things interesting, so you never know what they're going to do or say next. Since Geminis sometimes lack direction, they may have to depend on their instincts rather than clear-cut directions.

3. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)

No one embraces change better than a Sagittarius, so it's no surprise that they can be unpredictable. They don't like plans and they like to be spontaneous.

Just when you think you've figured them out, they do something completely unexpected. They like keeping people guessing and wondering about what they'll do next. Sagittarius are like chameleons: they adapt to their surroundings and the people around them.

4. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

Aries people are impulsive and that makes them unpredictable. In fact, they can be a bit dangerous because they will do things without thinking them through.

Aries love to do things that scare and challenge them, so they're always searching for that new thing, the thing they've never tried that's risky and gets their adrenaline pumping. Aries also have a bit of a temper, so you never know when they're going to have a temper tantrum or rip someone a new one.

5. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces people don't feel that they have to live their lives or do the things that other people do. They don't follow the same guides for living that other people do. They might be the kind of people who work at night when everyone else is asleep.

They tend to do what they feel like doing, when they feel like doing it. You never know what they're going to say or do, but you can bet it will be interesting. Pisces are creative and see things with their own very specific perspective, and that's why they're so interesting and unpredictable.
