The Zodiac Signs Strongest to Weakest and Which One Are You?

Among the 12 zodiac signs, when it comes to mental, physical and emotional strength, there appear to be three types of them. Some signs seem to be very strong and level-headed, while others are weak and prone to being overcome by emotions. Then there are of course a few that are like a “mixed bag,” neither too weak nor too strong.

Now, I plan on sharing the zodiac signs strongest to weakest and the traits that make each of them strong, weak, or somewhere in between. Let’s start.

Zodiac Signs Strongest to Weakest

1. Leo (July 23-August 22)

It might not come as a surprise to you but Leos are at the very top of the list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest. Let’s just admit they’re born to lead. And the best part is they put their heads down and focus on their work until it speaks for themselves.

Leos have a knack for winning people over to their cause instantly. They’re very tough, both mentally and emotionally and no matter how hard the going gets, you will always see Leo persevere. 

If you’re a Leo, you know how to keep your head held high. With the help of your goal-oriented persona, you’ll be able to work your way to materialize all of your desires and achieve true success. Be bold and never be afraid of anything that comes your way.

However, Zodiac signs aren’t just ranked based on their strengths and weaknesses. They are also ranked based on their luck with money. If you want to know whether your zodiac sign is lucky with money, read our article on it Scorpio lucky number.

A word of advice if you’re looking to date, or are already involved with, a Leo. Look past the North Korean Supreme Leader-like and enjoy the bright smile on his/her face. After all, this is the person who will get out of the toughest of situations and call it an average day.

2. Capricorn (October 23-November 21)

Your Capricorn friends aren’t able to turn water into wine (I secretly wish they were), but they sure will turn the impossible into possible when given the opportunity. Capricorns are in second place in the list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest because of their courageous nature. These people know how to keep their heads in the game at all times, no matter what happens around them.

Capricorns don’t give up, are determined to the core, and relentlessly go after their ambitions in order to make them a reality. When you first hear about a Capricorn’s goals, you’ll consider them to be out of this world and outright unattainable. However, they will somehow pull it off and be very proud of the way they did it. 

If your love interest is a Capricorn, know that occasionally you will have to deal with them complaining about things being rough for him/her. But in the end, you’ll always have someone you can rely on.

3. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

We both have heard this “Scorpio stereotype” a few times that Scorpios are renowned for being the “mysterious zodiac sign” as they tend to keep a lot to themselves. If you’re any sign but a Scorpio, you should know that these people cannot be out-maneuvered and outmatched, no matter how hard one may try. 

The reason behind this is very simple, their resilience. And that’s one of the biggest reasons why they rank so high on the list of strongest to weakest zodiac signs. 

They’re notorious for perfection in whatever they do and navigating through problems of both professional and personal life is like a dance to them. Scorpions like to breeze past every issue that comes their way and this is one of the reasons why you should be involved with at least one Scorpio in your life in some capacity.

Finally, know that like a Scorpion, while they are tough as nails on the outside, deep inside that solid shell is someone who can risk it all for their loved ones.. If you’re dating a Scorpio, there will be some occasions where you’ll see him/her to be empathetic and sensitive, just like anyone else.

4. Aries (March 21, April 19)

Aries has a killer combination of excellent organizational skills and incredible planning. If you’re an Aries yourself, you know well the level of detail of many situations you can get into. You may not know this, but there’s a lot of raw and unharnessed power in an Aries person that makes him/her persistent and resilient in the face of overwhelming odds.

Another fact that you may not know is that Aries ranks fourth on the list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest due to their confidence. An Aries is overflowing with confidence and has a lot of that “oomph factor” that gets them through a lot of things. 

Another thing to remember about Aries is that it is very prone to impulsiveness and recklessness. If your significant other is an Aries, there will be times when you’ll have to “slow him/her down” in order to avoid something unpleasant. As determined as Aries people are, they sometimes lose their calm and can go “all-in” in a situation.

5. Taurus (April 20-May 21)

We’re now entering the territory in our list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest where the signs are neither way too strong nor overly weak. These signs are like a mixed bag of strong and weak signs. One such example of these signs is Taurus.

Taurus people are known for their diligence and are pretty tough, both on the outside and on the inside. These are traits that make a Taurus very practical and reliable. 

But here’s the catch, something that few people, Taurus included, don’t know about their zodiac is how they’re very resistant to change. If you, for example, pitch an idea that’s unique or revolutionary to a Taurus man or woman, chances are that it won’t be liked at all.

Lastly, for a Taurus, admitting weakness is like admitting defeat. So if you know a Taurus person who’s going through such a situation, don’t put him/her in a place where he/she would feel weak and feeble.

6. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Sagittarius people are also in the mixed bag of signs in our list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest. A Sagittarian is someone who can be very dependable and reliable. 

You can bet on a Sagittarian to come up with a solution when things go downhill. Know that these people are very good at both making and executing plans and thus can be counted on in a difficult situation.

However, Sagittarians also suffer from some drawbacks. For one, they can be very blunt and careless. If you’re any sign but a Sagittarius, be prepared for a situation where a Sagittarius goes a bit “wild.” Though this isn’t to say that these people are reckless by default, keeping your guard up won’t hurt.

Lastly, they can talk for hours on end, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on you. If you’re talkative yourself, a Sagittarian will be a match made in heaven for you. But if you’re someone reserved, dealing with such a person might seem like a challenge at times.

7. Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgo is another case of signs that are in the middle area between zodiac signs strongest to weakest. Virgos can’t be termed as “weak” that easily, as they’re some of the most analytical signs who consider every eventuality before fully committing to a task. 

Here’s a tip for you if you’re getting romantically involved with a Virgo, these are restless people who won’t settle for anything less than perfection. A Virgo doesn’t shy away from a challenge and considers it a “job well done” only when said challenge has been completed their way. So it’s best to leave him/her to his/her devices until he/she has found a solution to the problem.

Virgo women in particular tend to be very kind and nurturing. Full of feminine energy, they’ll embrace their partner with all their heart and soul and will always be intuitive and gentle towards him.

Though Virgo does face some problems too. While they’re extremely intelligent, they’re equally prone to doubting themselves. Talk a Virgo out of doubting him/herself when you see such a situation, as he/she is re-evaluating some decision just because someone around him/her said something. 

8. Libra (September 23-October 22)

To be a Libra is to be a kind and gentle being who’s drawn to aesthetics and the creative side of life. However, Libras rank low in our list of strongest to weakest zodiac signs due to some factors that we’ll soon discuss.

Let’s talk about the positive traits first. As I just mentioned, these people are attracted to the finer things of life and aren’t fond of chasing materialistic luxury. A Libra is someone you take with you on your next shopping spree, as he (and extra points if this is a she!) knows all the latest trends and fashions out there that you need to get your hands on.

Libras are pretty clever too and will find a solution to every problem that you can think of. However, a Libra cannot be relied upon in a confrontational situation, like a physical fight or a disagreement at home or at work. They’re prone to indecisiveness and will get confused when both of you are stuck in a rut.

9. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

We’re entering the area of the “weakest” zodiac signs now in our list of strongest to weakest zodiac signs. Aquarius people tend to set lofty goals for themselves which would align well with their creative, dreamy and optimistic nature. You might not know but an Aquarian is a person who is highly driven one day, yet loses all motivation the next day. 

Aquarians men and women are people who make big plans but always fall short of the mark when it comes to executing them. Their lack of practicality will often result in some disappointing shortcomings. 

If you come across a person who seems lost in his/her own world, has great opinions and follows great ideologies, yet gets derailed time and again with his/her free-spiritedness and loses touch with reality easily, you just found an Aquarian.

10. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Cancer is one zodiac sign among this list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest who doesn’t strive to appear strong intentionally. Cancerians are people who are extremely caring about their loved ones and are full of compassion for those around them.

If you get into a relationship with a Cancer person, know that you will find him/her to be very strong, hard-working and resilient. Cancers are driven by the need to defend their loved ones and will go the extra mile to make them feel comfortable.

A fair bit of warning though, a Cancer person can get very emotional very quickly. This drawback severely limits their decision-making skills and they have to compensate for it by seeking help from their loved ones. 

11. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A Gemini comes loaded with a host of feelings that are weak, and they’re the reasons (which you’ll soon read) why I’ve placed Gemini at the near-end of our list of zodiac signs strongest to weakest. 

We all know too well that Geminis can never tolerate a dull moment in their lives. They’re very social people who are always the talk of the town. But what most people don’t know is how they change their personalities based on the people they meet. This behavior is because Geminis are very indecisive, impulsive and intrusive simultaneously.

These traits make them one of the worst zodiacs to trust in any decision. Lastly, a Gemini will outright abandon plans halfway through if too many disappointments come his/her way. Be sure to comfort a Gemini when you see him/her about to make an important decision. 

12. Pisces (February 20-March 20)

Escapism is one way of defining Pisces, which is the weakest of all signs. Whether you like it or not, A Pisces is pretty fine with not tackling problems head-on. This is the biggest reason why I have placed Pisces at the end of our list of strongest to weakest zodiac signs.

Pisces are so non-confrontational and evasive that they will at times lose themselves in their escape. Don’t get me wrong, a Piscean is highly artistic, creative, kind and talented, yet at the same time very emotional and indecisive. When problems and a Piscean come face to face, a Piscean runs away pretty quickly.

Summing Up Zodiac Signs Strongest to Weakest

There are certain signs that are very charismatic and determined, like Leo, one of the strongest zodiac signs out there. Others, like Pisces, tend to run away in the face of adversity and aren’t suited at all in a decision-making situation. While some, like Sagittarius, are like a mixed bag and are determined, yet very careless and blunt, being a mix of signs that precede and succeed them in the list.
