If you want to how 2024 will affect your zodiac sign, this is the article you need to read.

Most Common Zodiac Sign

1. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) 

By far the most common zodiac sign, Scorpio is a strange mix of being cryptic yet energetic. I think that it’s pretty hard for a Scorpio to get bored, as they’re always onto something. 

You’ll usually find them planning their next big move or executing their newest practical strategy. They’re 9.6% of the estimated US population, are ruled by Mars and Pluto and their element is water.

2. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgos are also some of the most common zodiac that you’ll come across. I see Virgos as the kindest and most intelligent of all the signs. 

A Virgo will always be there to help you and give you some of the best advice that you’ve ever heard. They are 9.4% of the estimated US population, are ruled by Mercury and their element is Earth.

3. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You can always expect the twins to be the life of any party they’re at. Gemini is the third most common sign and is the most extroverted sign in my opinion. They’ll never shy away from being independent and love being free birds.

They are 9.3% of the US population, are ruled by Mercury and their element is air.

4. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Known for their creativity, Pisceans are the daydreamers of the zodiac. While Gemini is the most extroverted in all of the zodiacs, Pisces is the most introverted one. They’re among the most common zodiac sign in the world. 

If you ever need a reliable friend who can help you no matter what you’re going through, you need a Piscean. They’re 9.1% of the US population, are ruled by Neptune and their element is water.

5. Libra (September 23 - October 22)

I don’t think that Libra is the most common zodiac, as it is only 8.8% of the US population. Regardless, it still is a significant number and Librans prove it by their actions time and again. 

I often come across Librans exuding an air of sophistication and class, engaging in scholarly debates with others. They’re drawn to romantic and beautiful things and love to be in harmony with the universe at all times.

Finally, their symbol is scales, their element is air and their ruling planet is Venus.

6. Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

I will always consult a Cancerian when I’m facing any issues in my love life. This is because Cancerians are extraordinarily kind, caring and loving people. Though they are only 8.5% of the US population, they know how to leave an impact on your life.

They are ruled by the Moon, their symbol is the crab and their element is water. If you want to know how the second house impacts cancer, I’d suggest reading this article.

7. Taurus 

Just like a bull that symbolizes it, Taurus is a thick-skinned zodiac sign. While it exudes an aura of confidence, Taurus is a somewhat common zodiac, coming up at just 8.3% of the US population.

Taureans love the finer things in life, and the money to afford those delicacies. I’ve noticed that Taureans are very gentle in their approach towards life and don’t rush into things. Furthermore, they’re very big-hearted, helping everyone they can.

Finally, they’re ruled by Venus and their element is earth.

8. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

I believe that there’s no zodiac sign more determined and hard-working than Capricorn. They’re certainly not the most common zodiac sign, coming up at 8.2% in the US. But these people are full of stoicism and a desire to push themselves to the limit.

If you want to make it big in life, you need a Capricorn in your circle. Their sheer grit and determination will inspire you and your whole circle to do better. They’re symbolized by the sea goat, are ruled by Saturn and their element is earth.

9. Aries (March 21 - April 19)

The first sign of the zodiac is 8.1% of the US population, so it’s far from being the most common sign. An Aries is all about being swift and direct in life. They’re quick in making decisions and might look like an army general leading soldiers into battle.

If you need a friend to give you a sudden boost of energy, Aries is the one you need. Finally, they’re ruled by Mars, are symbolized by the ram and their element is fire.

10. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius is the lone wolf of the zodiac, always planning its next move while basking ib the moon’s light. Yet they’re not the most common zodiac sign in the world, coming up at just 7.3% in the US.

It’s hard to come across a Sagittarius. But I’m sure that you’ll find them to enjoy new things in life, if they’re in the mood that is. They’re ruled by Jupiter, their symbol is an archer and their element is fire.

11. Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Leos are the most charismatic and passionate of all the zodiac signs. While they’re just 7% of the US population, their leadership skills and bold demeanor make people pay them a lot of attention.

While this extroverted and fun-loving sign isn’t the most common zodiac sign, they’re one of the most liked ones. Leo is ruled by the Sun, its element is fire and it is represented by the lion.

12. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius is far from being the most common zodiac sign in the world. It’s the least common in the US, at just 6.3%. But while they may be less in number, Aquarians do know how to live life to the fullest.

To me, an Aquarian is someone who cannot be bound by the rules and norms of any society. They live life on their terms, leaving you amazed whenever you come across them. They’re ruled by Uranus, their element is air and their symbol is a water bearer.

Summing Up The Most Common Zodiac Sign

Scorpio, Virgo, Gemini and Pisces are some of the most common zodiacs in the US. All of them are unique in their respects. The same can be said about Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius and Aries, though these are the least common ones.
