Most Ambitious to Least Ambitious Signs
1. Leo
Leo strives to always be the best of the best. They always want something more. You can expect them to want a wonderful household, enjoy flashy things, and always be the one fighting for a promotion to support their lavish lifestyle.
Not only are they always striving to meet their goals, but they are also wonderful at planning ways to achieve their goals. Leo will take the time to determine a goal, and then thoughtfully develop a complete road map to make sure that they reach their goal.
2. Capricorn
Capricorns are responsible and organized. They are also rather ambitious. Capricorn strives to achieve its goals in a similar manner to Leo.
Because Capricorn prefers to maintain organization, they will determine their goal. Then, expect them to have a plan to achieve their goal. After that, Capricorn’s ambition will take over as they strive to overcome any possible obstacles that come their way.
3. Taurus
Taurus is known for being stubborn, but this is what makes them so ambitious. They cannot stand not getting their way, which means that they will not settle for not reaching their goals.
However, Taurus is not quite as organized as Capricorn or Leo about reaching their goals. Instead, they tend to never stop trying to reach them until they do. Because of this, Taurus may see more setbacks than other signs. However, their stubborn nature will continue to propel them forward.
4. Aries
Aries are known for their temper and attitude, but they are also quite an ambitious sign. They are competitive by nature, so you can trust that they will always want to be the best of the best. This is where their ambition comes from.
However, this can also lead to a lack of ambition when there is not a healthy amount of competition for them. In order to achieve their goals, Aries must use their attitude and competitiveness to their advantage. If they do, they are easily one of the most ambitious signs in the zodiac. If not, they are more likely to fail.
5. Scorpio
Scorpio is a very ambitious sign, but their cautious nature and fear of trusting others often gets in the way of them living up to their true potential.
6. Virgo
Virgo is such a hard worker that they are instantly viewed as being ambitious. They want everything to be perfect, including their final projects. Because of this, they often find themselves unintentionally climbing the corporate ladder. However, they do not always make goals and plan how to achieve them like the more ambitious signs of the zodiac do.
7. Gemini
Gemini finds himself in the middle of most lists due to his split personality. On the one hand, they are ambitious and very goal-oriented. When Gemini wants something, he doesn’t have a problem going after it.
On the other hand, Gemini can get a bit distracted. He likes to have fun, and this can easily get in the way of him reaching his goals in a timely manner. It can also lead to him not being able to achieve his goals if he chooses fun over ambition. Then, as time goes on, expect him to circle back to meet his goals again instead of having fun.
8. Cancer
Cancer is very hardworking but not as ambitious as others in the corporate world. Instead, you’ll often see their extreme work ethic come out when they are working towards a goal for their family or loved ones.
However, this doesn’t make them less ambitious. Instead, they are simply selective with what they are ambitious towards.
9. Aquarius
Aquarius is one of the most creative of the zodiac signs. Because of this, they seem to be the least ambitious. However, they do have a degree of ambition.
Much like Cancer, Aquarius is only ambitious towards specific things. They strive to meet their goal if it is towards social justice or their personal creative pursuits. In the workplace, you will not see this same level of ambition.
10. Pisces
Pisces has ambitious thoughts. However, they do not like hard work so they often don’t work towards those ambitions. They love the life of success but do not expect them to work for it.
11. Libra
Libra is content with their life for the most part. As long as they are happy, they do not strive to make waves in their life. Because of this, they are often one of the least ambitious signs of the zodiac. Their peaceful mental state is more important to them than anything, so don’t expect them to consistently, or ever, go outside of their comfort zone due to ambition.
12. Sagittarius
Sagittarius has ambitious thoughts at times, but they prefer not to work hard unless they are required to or it is something they will enjoy. Because of this, you’re more likely to see their ambition if they have a personal project that they are in love with. They will not be as ambitious in the workplace if they do not have to.
In Conclusion
All of the zodiac signs are ambitious in their own ways. However, you won’t always see their ambition at work. Because of this, most people assume that the signs lower on the list are not ambitious. How ambitious is your sign?
