Most Submissive Zodiac Signs

Submissive Star Signs

Submissive people obey and conform to authority without complaining. While some people always want to lead the pack, submissive people don’t mind taking the back seat. They’ll let someone else make the big decisions whether they’re part of a team or in a relationship. They’re not assertive with their opinions and they’re not keen on dominating anyone.

How good you are at following instructions and obeying authority is sometimes a function of your zodiac sign. People born under signs characterized by a high sense of ambition or internal insecurity tend to want to dominate others in everything. Others who are more secure and less combative will prefer to let others lead. In this post, we’ll rank the different zodiac signs based on how submissive they tend to be.

Most Submissive Zodiac Sign (Least to Most)

2. Scorpio
3. Aries
4. Leo
5. Capricorn
6. Pisces
7. Aquarius
8. Sagittarius
9. Libra
10. Cancer
11. Gemini

1. Virgo

Perfectionist Virgo always wants to be the one in charge. They’ll handle their problems as well as other people’s problems. The reason they want to dominate isn’t that they’re proud or selfish. They just believe they know what they’re doing and they’ll do a better job at it than someone else. Virgo people hold themselves to a high standard and it’ll be difficult for someone else to live up to that standard.

2. Scorpio

Scorpios love being in control and sometimes they do this in an unhealthy way. Their ruling planet is Pluto which is why they’re always associated with power dynamics. Scorpio is a water sign which means they’re emotionally sensitive. They believe giving up control to others might lead to disappointment and pain. This is why they tend to be bossy because they want things done in a certain way. It’s difficult trying to reason with a Scorpio native or try to get them to see reasons why their way may not always be the right way.

3. Aries

Aries people are dominant and passionate about everything. They’re hardly ever submissive whether at work or in a relationship. They don’t like it when others aren’t doing things right and the only way to be satisfied is by taking charge. They’re natural leaders and they just keep themselves from taking charge unless they decide to intentionally let go or relax.

4. Leo

Leos are among the least submissive of all the zodiac signs because they love being in control. In fact, they are among the most controlling of all zodiac signs because they believe their way is the only right way. Leo people always want to be in the spotlight and they know the only way to get there is by taking charge. They try to tweak everything (even the minor details) to their benefit.

5. Capricorn

Capricorns are often self-centered and they always want things to be done in a way that suits them. In relationships, they love being the center of attention and they’ll typically try to control their partner’s actions to make them follow their wishes. They do the same in their work or career as well because they’re highly ambitious.

6. Pisces

Pisces people tend to see relationships as some sort of partnership. They don’t just submit in the conventional sense. Instead, they prefer to have a type of equal relationship where both partners feel empowered and loved. They can let their partner run the day while providing as much support as possible. Pisces people are selfless and compassionate. They’re also very emotionally intelligent and this helps them to manage their relationships pretty well.

7. Aquarius

Aquarians are self-conscious people. They’re aware of their high intellectual ability and creativity, which is why they hardly ever give up control to other people. It’s not because they’re condescending or proud, they just think they’re too intelligent to be controlled by someone. At the same time, they won’t try to dominate as well. They’re open-minded social beings that would let you keep your own opinion instead of trying to change your mind.

8. Sagittarius

Sagittarians can be submissive at times. They’re casual and indifferent about a lot of things which is why it is difficult to picture them as bossy or domineering. However, the Sag’s domineering side often comes to the surface when it’s time to get things done and they don’t feel like doing it themselves. In essence, Sagittarians are selectively submissive. Most times, they don’t care about being the leader, especially at work. However, in their relationships, they can get real bossy which is why they often seek out flexible and submissive people as partners.

9. Libra

Librans don’t mind being other people’s lap dogs just to impress them. They’ll submit and blindly follow instructions because they want to be someone’s favorite. The Libran’s passiveness is not out of genuine respect for the other person. To them, it’s just a means to an end which is to get the person to like them. In relationships, Librans are highly diplomatic. They will allow their partner to take a dominant role while they play the submissive role. It’s not that they don’t want to take charge, they just feel it’s better to let their partner take the lead so everyone is happy.

10. Cancer

Cancer is a water sign which means people born under this sign are highly emotional. They’re also sweet and sentimental. Cancer people don’t mind serving others as long as they consider you a friend or family. They don’t like to take action on their own. Instead, they surrender to those in authority and are good at following instructions. Cancerians make the best followers as long as they’re being treated right.

11. Gemini

A Gemini native is a natural people-pleaser. They have a flexible nature that allows them to adapt freely to other people’s opinions without complaining. Gemini people don’t love to take charge. In fact, they get anxious when they’re asked to take charge and are more than happy when they’re not the ones making the big decisions. Being the submissive one in a relationship makes them more comfortable than taking charge and leading.

12. Taurus

Taureans don’t like the stress of making decisions on their own which is why they gladly give up control. They know being in control equals accountability and they prefer not to be in the spotlight that way. Taureans don’t mind letting others handle the major details while they support in any way they can. It’s not because they’re not powerful. They just prefer to be passive instead of taking control.

Conclusion

Submissive people make great followers and partners, especially when paired with naturally domineering people. It’s great to want to take the lead, but being willing to follow instructions is just as important.
