Many zodiac signs love cozy routines and predictable schedules. You can catch them at home living their best lives and avoiding chaos at all costs. Meanwhile, other members of the zodiac are busy doing things for the plot, resulting in quite the colorful stories.

When you do something “for the plot,” it means taking a risk or embracing a chaotic choice as a way to make life interesting. There might be a one-second pause before the decision where you think, “Hmm, should I really be doing this?” But then you shrug and do it anyway.

It’s a mindset that can lead someone to text an ex at 2 a.m., quit a job on a whim, or go on a last-minute trip even though they aren’t packed and haven’t booked a hotel. The journey of figuring it all out and dealing with any potential fallout is what makes the choice so fun.

Some zodiac signs do things for the plot on purpose. If they’re bored, they’ll make a bold move, go on an adventure, or set out on a side quest. Others seem to have a little less control over their storyline, but have embraced the “do it for the plot” mentality anyway. If something goes wrong or they make a mistake, they know it’s no big deal. Ultimately, it’s all for the plot.

Aries have been doing it for the plot their entire lives. Anyone with this sign in their Big Three was likely chaotic as a kid, and now they’re the same way as an adult. This fire sign will look for any and every excuse to go on a side quest or do something to spice up their day, even if it’s a little bit “out there.”

As a sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action, Aries hate when they’re stuck in a rut. If life starts to feel dull, they’ll shake things up by doing something unpredictable. Many times, they know it’s not the best idea — like quitting a job or going on a second date with someone who has red flags — but the risk makes it all the more enticing.

Aries is also the first sign of the astrological year, which means they have a natural spark of impulsivity that shapes their personality. It’s impossible to predict what they’re going to do next, and that’s because even they don’t know. They may be a human tornado, but they always seem to be having fun.

Gemini (May 20 - June 19)

Geminis give off strong main character energy whether they’re at work, out with friends, or sitting at home by themselves, and that means they’re constantly looking for ways to add to their storyline. As an air sign, their main goal in life is to liven up boring moments, and you know it’s about to happen when they get a twinkle in their eye.

In an instant, a Gemini will scamper off and do something unpredictable, like befriending a stranger at a bar. They’re ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, which means they can talk to literally anyone. They’ve been known to score free tickets and invites to parties, and it’s all thanks to those social skills.

They also have a lifelong mischievous streak, which is why they don’t mind doing something “bad,” like texting their ex, posting an embarrassing dance on TikTok, or cutting their bangs at midnight. For Gemini, the world is one big playground.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21 - Dec. 20)

A Sagittarius will start to get itchy feet if they sit in one place for too long. This fire sign can stick with a predictable routine for maybe three or four days before they need to shake things up and have some fun.

If they can swing it, they’ll go big. Think long road trips, last-minute flights to another country, or moving to a new city on a whim. Thanks to their Jupiter ruler, which governs adventure and expansion, they aren’t afraid to drop the old and do something new.

When they can’t travel, a Sagittarius will look for ways to shake up their everyday life. If they’re bored at work, they’ll swipe on apps and look for a date, especially with someone who isn’t their usual type. If they’re feeling stagnant on a Saturday, they’ll randomly start training for a marathon.

They like to unlock new characters, have interesting experiences, and kick off new goals. A Sagittarius’s worst fear? Not having a cool story to tell.
