You may have clicked on this gallery and thought “oh come on! Surely these traits don’t apply to all of these signs right?” Well these summaries of the best zodiac traits may be more accurate than you initially thought.

Aries – Passionate

Aries tend to feel things rather intensely. But this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, their passionate nature is one of their most wonderful traits. They care a lot about the people and circumstances around them and they want others to care as much as they do. They wish to ignite the zeal of others with their own passion.

Taurus – Dependable

If there is one friend or loved one on whom you know you can rely, chances are they are a Taurus or at least they have Taurus somewhere in their chart. Taureans are some of the biggest mom friends in the entire zodiac. They are always ready to lend an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on or a hand to help.

Gemini – Inquisitive

Geminis can never stop learning. Their minds are like sponges that are never fully quenched. They never want to be accused of being ignorant. Geminis are quite sympathetic, and you could credit their sympathy with their need to learn as much as they can about other cultures and the experiences of other people.

Cancer – Creative

The moon has been known to inspire many artists, writers, and poets. So it is only fitting that the sign that is ruled by the great glowing inspirational orb is one of the most creative signs in the zodiac. The cardinal water sign’s mind is like a deep ocean of creative ideas. They are always thinking of a new artistic project.

Leo – Generous

The astral lion is one of the most warm-hearted and generous signs in the zodiac. Leos share the spotlight more than they steal it. They are always ready to shower their loved ones with gifts and praise. They will give you the shirt off their back.

Virgo – Pragmatic

We all need a friend who will talk us off a ledge and that is where the kind-hearted yet level-headed Virgo comes in. When our thoughts are cloudy and we can’t see the forest for the trees, in comes the mutable earth sign to help us see the bigger picture. They are never ones to catastrophize a situation. They just handle their circumstances with a clear and rational mind.

Libra – Diplomatic

While it is important not to equivocate, sometimes a disagreement requires a peace-keeper. That is where Libra comes in. The cardinal air sign likes to balance the scales. Libras are the ideal mediators and always try to listen to all sides of a situation to bring about harmony. They will never make one side feel wrong, they will make all sides feel seen and heard.

Scorpio – Adventurous

You know those friends that text you at 11:00 pm, asking you if you want to go on an adventure? You couldn’t imagine life without those friends, just as you can’t imagine life without Scorpios. The fixed water sign’s adventurous nature is unmatched by any other sign in the zodiac. They are always up for new experiences and new challenges.

Sagittarius – Self-Reflective

Sagittarians are incredibly self-aware. They are not particularly prideful and often question their own decisions. This may not seem like a positive attribute on the surface, but it is probably one of the most positive traits on this list. The mutable fire sign’s ability to self-reflect allows them to make rational and compassionate decisions.

Capricorn – Self-Disciplined

Capricorns are exceptional leaders. Their incredible leadership skills can be attributed in part to their self-discipline. They pride themselves on their ability to think rationally and make good decisions. They like to protect their loved ones but they also like to protect themselves from any negative influences.

Aquarius – Innovative

To say that Aquarians think outside of the box is a huge understatement. Aquarians don’t just think outside of the box, they think outside of our atmosphere. They always look at things with a fresh perspective, and their mind is always teeming with newfangled ideas. The sky is never the limit, because they have no limit.

Pisces – Empathetic

There are many astrologers who believe that people with Pisces in a prominent place in their birth charts have psychic abilities. These abilities really shine through with their empathetic nature. “Empath” is a title that the compassionate and sensitive Pisces can rightfully claim.

Ophiuchus – Everything
