There are 12 zodiac signs. Ruled by different planets, they possess different characteristics. That can make them qualitatively different and distinct. We can thus say that the zodiac signs possess unique qualities, which those born in them reflect as their characteristic traits, both as strengths and weaknesses.
Here, let us examine the qualities of the zodiac signs displayed by their natives and try to rank them in some order.
Libra
Libra can be termed a gentle sign. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, the sign represents justice and fair play. These natives may generally be straightforward, fair, reasonable, peace-loving, and against violence and quarrels. The symbol of Libra is the ‘scales,’ which denotes their sense of balance. The Librans can be good judges of men and matters and will try to strike a balance in their dealings. Though these characteristics can make it a somewhat idealistic sign, indecisive, and easily influenced, Libra still remains a loveable sign that wishes to spread peace and happiness around and hence is placed high, qualitatively.
Sagittarius
Ruled by the beneficial, wisdom planet Jupiter, Sagittarius remains an honest and noble sign. The natives can be kind-hearted and easygoing but might also be enthusiastic with a positive outlook, inspiring those around them. The Sagittarians may essentially be freedom-loving with a daring sense of adventure and wander thirst. They love to live on their terms, have fun, enjoy life and all that it offers. Their carefree nature can drive them to take risks and be tactless, but being inherently philosophical, they may take things in their stride and proceed with confidence and dynamism. No doubt, Sagittarius also remains a sign, loved and respected.
Aquarius
Aquarius is a public-spirited sign whose natives could be ready to serve or even fight for the society at large. The people of this Saturn-ruled sign can be imaginative and innovative with a scientific temper. They could be profound thinkers with large hearts, indomitable courage, and sound judgment. They can be observant and analytical and might take a relationship as a lifelong commitment. Though they can sometimes be considered eccentric, Aquarius remains a sign to be admired.
Pisces
The Pisces is another Jupiter-ruled sign known for its soft and smooth nature. These natives can be called fantasy figures, who may often live in their own dream world. These people will likely be nature lovers, uncomfortable with noise, crowds, and authority. They may value their privacy a lot and might like to spend time traveling, experiencing, and enjoying nature’s bounty. They might also have a philosophical frame of mind, which could make them flexible, accommodative, and somewhat detached. On the other hand, one can often find the Pisces natives timid, over-sensitive, lazy, and lacking the aggression or drive required to fight it out and get things done. However, they can be quietly spiritual and come across as godly souls who love all good things in life and also love to be loved.
Gemini
If there is a sign meant for communication, it can only be Gemini. It is Mercury, the planet of intellect that rules Gemini, which can make the natives mercurial by nature. This volatility can make them unpredictable and somewhat undependable. However, the Gemini natives can be highly intelligent, knowledgeable, imaginative, and humorous, with powerful articulation skills and speaking abilities, making them the center of attraction in a group. Many Gemini natives could also be multi-skilled, making them simply irresistible. But these people can also be selfish, cunning, restless, and sometimes confused. However, their friendliness and social skills can make the sign rank high.
Aries
Aries is a passionate sign. Its ruler, the warrior planet Mars, gives the Aries natives much energy and aggression. They can be independent, original, and courageous, so leadership could come naturally to them. They will likely be born fighters, hardworking, and ready to take risks, so they might rather fight than negotiate or compromise. Still, they can be loyal to a cause, support what they feel is right, and stand by friends. Thus, Aries can be a no-nonsense sign that one can bank on.
Taurus
Taurus is a Venus-ruled earth sign. Taurus natives will likely be solid, stable, and reliable, and they may also be committed, hardworking, and ready to put in untiring efforts to make things happen. They can be slow but patient, imaginative, artistic, and faithful. Though stubborn, possessive, and even greedy at times, these people could be highly dependable and might deserve admiration.
Virgo
The natives of the Mercury-ruled sign Virgo might be analytical and diplomatic. They might also be meticulous about details and, often, multi-skilled. Though these people can be disciplined and dedicated, they can also be selfish and pretentious, speaking and acting to suit their cause. So, one may have to be cautious when dealing with them.
Capricorn
The Saturn-ruled Capricorn natives will likely be ambitious, loyal, and responsible. They might also be dynamic, tenacious, and professional, but also be cautious; they may not show their true feelings. Besides, others might also find them untrusting and dictatorial at times.
Leo
The Sun-ruled Leo is a noble and respectable sign whose natives can be generous and broad-minded. These people might also be courageous and lead from the front while taking on challenges. They might love to be always in the limelight. But Leos can also be dominating and intolerant and try to throw their weight around to get what they want; this attitude could put off those around them.
Cancer
The Moon, which governs the mind and emotions, rules the Cancer sign. That makes Cancer an emotional sign. These natives could also be sensitive, giving into mood swings, like the waxing and waning Moon. However, they can also be kind, loving, tolerant, and charitable. However, they can also sink into self-pity, suspicion, and negative thinking, thus turning unpredictable and even manipulative at times.
Scorpio
Ruled by the aggressive planet Mars, Scorpio is a tough sign whose natives will likely be committed personalities. They could be secretive and carry an element of mystery around them. They might also be highly possessive, dominating, and even rude at times. They could carry grudges and be unforgiving and revengeful. One may have to put one’s head down while dealing with them to get things done.
