Tough and strong, the bull has the most physical strength in the zodiac. Tenacious Taurus boasts more physical strength and durability than the typical zodiac sign. Influenced by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, the bull also loves chasing after the finer things in life, whether that’s eating the tastiest food, wearing the best clothes, or looking the best that they possibly can.^{[1]

What's the most powerful zodiac sign?

Kaitlyn Kaerhart
Numerologist, Spiritual Teacher & Astrologer

There are so many ways this can be interpreted. First off, I think people need to not get caught up in “the most powerful sign” because your full chart matters more than one placement.

For example, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is a powerful planet. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which is literally the planet of power. We could say these are both really powerful signs. But Scorpio's sun in the 12th house is a completely different energy than Scorpio's sun in the 6th house, the 10th house, the 7th house.

I want to get people away from thinking that there's one sign that's the most powerful or the best, because all of the signs hold tremendous power in their own way. To give another example: Capricorns are really good at making money – that's powerful. But who's to say that's more powerful than cancer energy, which is its antipode, where its strength is being intuitive and nurturing. It all depends on how you define power.

Tips

Don’t be discouraged if your sign didn’t make the list. Physical strength and stamina have little to do with your star sign and everything to do with how dedicated and focused you are on your fitness levels. Regular exercise, strength training, and a healthy diet are key to being the strongest, best version of yourself that you can be!

Even if your sign isn’t high-ranking in terms of physical strength, they could rank high in mental or emotional strength.
