Uncertainty is an unavoidable part of life, and there are many times when you’ll need to take your chances and gamble on something that could be very much worth the risk. However, the fear that something could go very wrong is very real, and the regret of doing something when you knew the big probability of things going south often stings.

These zodiac signs are especially familiar with this feeling, which is why they’re the most hesitant to take risks:
Cancer
Cancers are homebodies because they love the security and safety of staying in a controlled, familiar environment. Naturally, this means they don’t like it when things go unexpectedly, so they shy away from taking risks as much as possible. They also don’t want to take a chance on potentially hurting someone they love if that’s a possible consequence of risk, no matter how attractive the reward may be.
Leo
Leo is a fixed sign, so they like things steady and predictable. Though they love drama, they prefer it only when they can control what happens—unexpected consequences are not on the agenda. They prefer erring on the side of caution, as they don’t want to be at the center of anything controversial—especially if it’s the result of their own actions.
Taurus
This stubborn sign refuses to budge on their convictions, so if they’ve decided on something, good luck trying to change their mind. Though some risks are worth taking, it can be impossible to convince a Taurus it’ll turn out well if there’s a slight chance of things going awry.
Capricorn
Capricorns are careful and analytical about everything. They’ll thoroughly study each risk and all the potential consequences, making them less likely to pursue an opportunity, as they’ll need all the cards laid out. While they’re certainly open to taking calculated risks, it’s not a choice they often make.
