Not All Of The Zodiac Signs Are Close-Minded, But These 3 Definitely Tend To Be
The 12 signs of the zodiac all have their unique temperaments, personalities, and telltale qualities. Some signs, for instance, are known for being flexible and accepting, while others have more of a reputation for being stubborn and unyielding.
And of course, while someone's sign can't guarantee they'll be close-minded, those stereotypes don't come from nowhere. If you can expect narrow-minded attitudes from anyone, it's these three signs.
P.S. This would apply to anyone with any of the following as their sun, moon, and/or rising sign.
Taurus
Known as easily the most stubborn sign of the zodiac, it's no surprise Taurus tops our list here. Not only are they a fixed sign, meaning they're hard-working but equally headstrong, but they're also the most value-based sign in the zodiac.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, and associated with the second house of self-worth, Taurus' morals and values are tied up in everything they do—even more so than the more flexible, open-minded signs. They're firm when it comes to their beliefs, and it takes a lot to get them to change their perspectives.
At the end of the day, Taurus folks pride themselves on practicality and groundedness, so when it comes to more "out-there" ideas or even trying something they've never done, they'd rather stick with what they know.
Capricorn
Up next, we have Capricorn as the second most close-minded sign. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and challenges, Capricorn is a natural leader who will stop at nothing to succeed—but that often translates to being dogmatic and controlling.
As such, being open-minded isn't exactly their strong suit. Caps tend to think they know best and everyone else is a bit of a fool, so they can be downright dismissive if you try to pitch an idea or plan to them and they're not into it. Sure, they might be a successful sign, but at what cost?
Ultimately, Capricorn is driven by one thing: Their own ambition. This definitely makes them driven, but it also gives them a certain tunnel vision that makes it difficult for them to remain open to different ways of thinking or doing things.
Cancer
And finally, we have Cancer as the third most close-minded sign of the zodiac. Despite being empathetic and sensitive to the emotions of others, Cancer's number one priority is their own emotional safety–which as it turns out, is very fragile indeed.
Easily triggered and known for being moody, a Cancer will retreat into their shell at the first sign of discomfort, and when one considers that being open-minded requires tolerating discomfort, it only makes sense that Cancer would be inclined to protect themselves over being flexible and accepting.
With tall walls around their emotional world and an attitude to fight back when necessary, don't be surprised if your seemingly innocent idea triggers Cancer into a bad-mood-spiral because they feel threatened.
The takeaway
Again, it goes without saying that someone's zodiac sign won't guarantee whether they'll be close-minded. Every sign has the capacity to be biased in one way or another, but when it comes to Taurus, Cap, and Cancer, they come by it naturally.
