Who are the most courageous astrological signs? In this article, we will examine all twelve zodiac signs under the microscope and rank them according to how brave they are in general.
Courage is a rare personality trait that isn’t seen in everyone. While some people are always brave in the face of danger, others will get jittery at the slightest sight of trouble. It’s hardwired into us.
It’s difficult to explain why people act a certain way in the face of danger, but we can turn to the stars for an explanation of why courageous people act the way they do. How does a person’s zodiac sign explain how courageous they are? Here is a ranking of the most courageous zodiac signs from the least to most courageous.
Zodiac Courage Ranking (Least to Most)
Least Courageous to Most Courage Signs
1. Capricorn
No one fears failure more than the Capricorn and that’s the reason why they’re often considered the least courageous of all zodiac signs. They don’t like confronting scary situations or facing off with people. Instead of demanding their rights or insisting on what they want, Capricorns tend to let people have their way.
2. Pisces
Pisceans would rather run away from a scary situation rather than confront it head-on. This tendency to avoid trouble is the major reason why they’re not considered among the bravest zodiac signs. They try to maintain an outward cool demeanor. But deep inside, their scaredy cats, afraid to venture too far from their comfort zones. They also don’t like making mistakes and they’ll rather not make any decision than make the wrong one.
3. Virgos
Virgos have no appetite for risk because they deem it very unnecessary. They believe that they can achieve their goals in a reliable and risk-free way instead of taking risks. Of course, that’s just the fear in them talking. They obsess over little things and the smallest chaos in their life can make them feel miserable. They also tend to hold on to past hurts for too long and this fear and negative thoughts can make it difficult for them to take on new challenges or do new things.
4. Cancer
Cancers are too cautious and superstitious to be courageous. They do not believe in taking risks or tempting fate. This is why they’re likely to stay in their comfort zones instead of taking risks and going on adventures. Cancers have a motherly nature and they’re quite sensitive. This is another reason why they tend to avoid dangerous situations.
5. Taurus
People born under this sign are naturally peace-loving. They believe in living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment. This easy-going nature is the reason why they try to stay away from terrifying situations as much as possible. Taurus can be nihilists in their thinking sometimes. They tend to think that there’s no purpose to life which means they hardly ever fight hard for anything. Their inability to see the big picture is the major reason why they’re not so courageous.
6. Gemini
Geminis are not affected by people’s opinions about them. That’s how they manage to stay courageous and maintain a cool attitude at all times. They’re adventurous, but they’re not daredevils so they won’t run into dangerous situations without considering the consequences. Gemini’s are cunning and they know it. They rely on their wits to get out of difficult situations which is why they’re not afraid of trouble.
7. Libra
Librans are among the not-so-brave signs. They do feel fear like everyone else, but they have mastered the ability to remain resolute in the face of fear. Librans are fully aware of the things they’re most afraid of and will try their best to eliminate them. People born under this zodiac sign have a dramatic personality. They rarely own up to errors. Instead, they’ll try to cover it up as if nothing happened. This is a bit cowardly for someone that’s meant to be courageous. The reason why they do this is probably that they don’t like arguments or confrontations.
8. Aquarius
Aquarians are particularly courageous when it comes to standing up for the oppressed. If they feel something is wrong, they’ll stand up against it without fear of the consequences. They have a relaxed attitude to life and their response to danger is usually to ignore it. Aquarians are never afraid to follow their dreams no matter how unlikely it seems or how challenging achieving it will be.
9. Sagittarius
The Sag’s positive outlook on life is the source of their courage. They have mastered the ability to stay calm in the face of fear because they choose happiness over worry. Sagittarians can stay courageous when things don’t seem to be going their way because they’re able to see the bright side of everything. They also don’t mind taking risks and they don’t get overly bordered by losses because they believe it’s a natural part of life. Sags have a “No risk, no reward” mentality which is why they embrace their fears so readily.
10. Scorpio
Scorpios are fearless but not reckless. They’re very intelligent, which is why they don’t just jump into danger head-on. Instead, they take calculated risks after weighing the pros and cons. They have the courage needed to set high goals and follow through on them. They have fears just like everyone, but Scorpios are smart enough to recognize the source of their fear and figure out how to overcome them.
11. Leo
Leos are naturally goal-driven and this is why they’re never afraid of challenges. They understand the importance of courage in achieving the goals they have set for themselves. The Lion of the zodiac sign loves an opportunity to prove themselves and they’ll not shy away from new adventures no matter how dangerous they seem. They’re also quite confident in their abilities which further fuels their bravery.
12. Aries
The Aries zodiac sign is the first on the chart and this reflects in their personality. They’re born leaders and this makes them quite courageous. Aries people are brave enough to venture into places that no one has ever been before. They enjoy doing the things that others fear just for the thrill of the experience. Danger and adventure excite the Aries and they’ll go out of their comfort zone to do things others will perceive as too risky.
Conclusion
It pays to be courageous. People that aren’t afraid to face their fears find it easier to get things done and are likely to achieve great things. Of course, we can’t all be this way and the reason why some people are daredevils while others prefer to stay on the sidelines is because of each person’s place on the zodiac chart.
