One might find blessings as well as curses from over analysing. It lets people consider things very thoroughly, which would help in problem-solving and decision-making. Still, it can cause self-doubt, uncertainty, and anxiety as well. Certain zodiac signs are more prone than others to over analysing every circumstance to the point of weariness. These indicators—which range from their emotional sensitivity to their analytical nature—tend to catch people in a cycle of overthinking whether their motivation is for perfection or another. The seven zodiac signs listed here overthink everything.

1. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Among overthinkers, Virgues comes first. Acclaimed for their exacting and detail-oriented approach, Virgos examine every scenario from every side.

Why Virgos Overthink:

• Perfectionism: Virgos over analyse events to make sure everything is flawless since they have a great expectation for others and oneself.
• Their analytical minds, which concentrate on the smallest details, can lead them to fix on objects that others might pass over.
