As humans, competition is in the nature of everyone. However, not all of us are aggressive when it comes to competition. Some do not mind that others win while others don’t mind fighting dirty and breaking all the rules just to win. Whether it’s a simple game of cards with friends or vying for an elective position, we all exhibit varying levels of competitiveness.
The reason why you don’t mind taking the back seat or you can’t stand the thought of someone else winning a prize that’s meant for you could be tied to the stars. Your zodiac sign says a lot about everything about you including your competitiveness. Here is a ranking of all the zodiac signs and how they fare as far as competitiveness is concerned.
Zodiac Competitiveness Ranking (Least to Most)
Least Competitive to Most Competitive Star Signs
1. Aquarius
As an Aquarius, you care and worry too much about others to want to compete with them. Aquarius are known to exhibit a deep sense of understanding and they relish cooperation rather than competition. If there were a contest among all the zodiac signs, they’ll most likely come last and won’t be bothered about it. Their deep sense of empathy is why they take the spot for the least competitive of all the zodiac signs.
2. Cancer
Cancers are too emotionally sensitive to be competitive. They would rather protect and encourage others than see them as a threat. The Cancer will gladly take the sidelines, cheering others up and even handing out water instead of participating in a contest. In addition to being such sweet people, Cancers are also extremely self-protective. They can’t bear the thought of losing so they’ll rather not compete at all instead of risking failure.
3. Virgo
A Virgo is modest to a fault. People born under this sign find it difficult to even accept a compliment. They’d rather remain unnoticed in the background rather than a step to take all the accolades. This modest nature makes them one of the least interested in competition among the zodiac signs. However, Virgos are also perfectionists by nature. This means they’ll gently fight off anyone that tries to create chaos or confusion in their perfect bubble. They’ll so so subtly though since they’re quite soft-hearted.
4. Pisces
Pisces people are characterized by extreme sensitivity and tenderness. They’re in touch with their emotions and can be quite dramatic. In fact, when it comes to being dramatic, no one comes close to the Pisces. However, being tender and in touch with their emotions does not mean Pisces cannot be a little competitive sometimes. In fact, they’re known to be very jealous which means they can get quite fierce when it comes to competing over a lover’s attention.
5. Libra
The Libra is quite competitive, and not in a good way. In fact, their competitiveness sometimes tips towards obsession. Libras have a restless and greedy spirit and this can make them very combative. They have the arsenals to see any competition through too. Their natural charm and wittiness make it easy for them to emerge victorious in most competitions. Fortunately, people don’t get to see their dark side often because they’re equally obsessed with maintaining balance so they’d stay passive most of the time.
6. Sagittarius
Passion flows through the veins of the Sagittarius and this makes it impossible for them not to be competitive. They’re not one to give half measures on anything. If the Sagittarius is passionate about anything, they’ll go all out for it, taking risks and gambling with chances in the process. The fact that they’re quite adventurous also means they’re ever ready to compete, even when they don’t stand a very good chance of winning.
7. Capricorn
Capricorns have a lot of ambition. And with this comes a tendency to be mean, greedy, and negative if things don’t go their way. Good luck trying to outcompete a Capricorn at work, they are quite methodological and determined which often works to their favor in work environments. They’ll not make it easy for you to win and you can be sure they’ll give all it takes to make sure of that.
8. Gemini
Given their playful and social nature, one would think the Gemini would be too carefree to be competitive. But you couldn’t be more wrong. The Gemini is one of the most self-centered zodiac signs ever. So when they want something, good luck to anyone else competing for it. They’ll do anything to achieve their goals. They have their way with people and can easily switch up the charm and manipulate others just to win. Worst of all, a Gemini is ever ready to gloat at your defeat because they enjoy seeing you lose.
9. Aries
People born under this sign are a burst of powerful emotions. This makes them the fiercest competition. Aries always wants to be the best at everything. Unlike many other zodiac signs that shy away from competition, Aries actually loves challenges and they’re ever willing to turn on their dark side just to get what they want. This could mean being bad-tempered, insufferable, and mean to others just to get what they want. Nothing tastes better to the Aries than the sweet taste of winning.
10. Taurus
Taurus is an earth sign which means they can be quite set in their way. They won’t give up on whatever they set their heart on and this fierce determination and obsession with success are what makes them the fiercest competition. Don’t tell a Taurus that they cannot do something. They are too greedy and proud to accept that something is impossible. That’s all it takes to bring out the beast in them that won’t take no for an answer.
11. Leo
Leos always want to be the winner, so they probably won’t feel so good about taking the second spot in this ranking. If you know someone obsessed about winning in everything, it won’t be surprising if this is their zodiac sign. They’re sore losers and will get angry over not winning even if they performed very well. They have too much energy and vanity within them to accept that they’re less than anybody else. Little wonder they’re often called the kings of the zodiac.
12. Scorpio
There is no zodiac sign as obsessed with power as the Scorpio. It’s the bane of their personality and the very core of every aspect of their life. People born under this zodiac sign have a deep desire to dominate and they cannot bear the thought of being second to anyone. It doesn’t matter who you are to them and how deeply they love you. The Scorpio can’t bear the thought of losing-not even to you despite how much they do love you. Their desire to always be at the top makes them the toughest opponent anyone could ever face.
Conclusion
No one loves to lose. But while some can still live with the idea, there are some that will take losing quite personally. If you have a friend born under any of the highly competitive signs, you might want to consider letting them win once in a while if you can afford it. You’ll find this a lot more peaceful than trying to go head to head against them.
