Finding the best zodiac sign really depends on who you ask. Every zodiac sign has great qualities and more challenging ones, so the best zodiac sign is really a matter of taste. So, while we can't give you a definitive ranking of the best and worst signs of the zodiac, we can tell you what each sign is best at, and where their challenges lie, and you can decide for yourself what is the best zodiac sign.

Aries: Best at Competition

Aries, the Ram, is a highly competitive sign. So you know that when they go head to head with anyone for anything, there's a good chance they'll come out on top. There's just no quit in Aries, which makes them the best zodiac sign to have on a competitive team. Whether it's sports, trivia night, or coming out on top at work, you'll always do well with a competitive Aries by your side.

Aries's biggest challenge is their impulsivity. While it can serve them well, it can also be something they need to control.

Taurus: Best at Commitment

If you look up ride-or-die in a dictionary, there just might be a picture of a Taurus there. Bulls are deeply committed to their people, and they'll do everything they need to for the people they care about. Tauruses make committed friends, spouses, and parents, and people love having them in their lives.

As for their biggest challenge, Taurus can be really stubborn — even to their own detriment. It has to do with their fixed nature. Nobody can dig in quite like a Taurus. And while that can be a good thing (as in, when they commit to something), if you're arguing against a Taurus, chances are you won't love that quality nearly as much. 

Gemini: Best at Adaptability

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life/lifestyle/images/slide/343692-850x567-adaptive-wheelchair-pickleball-1305355323.jpg

Gemini is probably the most flexible and adaptable sign of the zodiac. They are truly roll-with-it people who are able to switch it up at a moment's notice, and they seldom object to a last-minute change of plans (in fact, they often welcome it). Part of the reason they're so adaptable is that they can see issues from every angle.

This connection to duality that Geminis possess can also lead to their biggest challenge: they can seem to have two totally different personalities. They are the Twins, after all, and they can flip from one side of their personality to the other with dizzying speed. 

Cancer: Best at Making a Home and Family

Cancers are the homebodies of the zodiac, and they make warm and loving homes. Family is everything to Cancer, and they make wonderful parents and partners. It's their deep emotional intelligence and nurturing personality that help them build solid, loving, and beautiful homes. 

And while Cancer's emotional and compassionate nature makes them great parents and partners, it can also be their biggest challenge. Cancers can be a bit on the moody side, which can be a challenge both for Cancer and the people in their lives.

Leo: Best at Being the Life of the Party

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life/grief-loss/images/slide/347083-850x567-fall-party-1215542887.jpg

Leos live grandly, boldly, loudly, and proudly. They're super outgoing and social, and they have a fabulous sense of humor and fun. This makes them the center of every room they're in and the life of every party, and people love the lion for that.

However, Leo's biggest challenge is that they can be pretty vain. It's the pride of the Lion that imparts this vanity, and it can be a challenge for Leo to overcome.

Virgo: Best at Getting Stuff Done

If you want something done efficiently and perfectly, you need to call in a Virgo. Their organizational skills and ability to get stuff done are unparalleled in the zodiac, and watching them in action is pretty darn impressive. 

Of course, this drive for perfectionism can also be Virgo's biggest challenge, as it can make them nitpicky and a little brittle. 

Libra: Best at Mediating

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/357147-850x567-group-of-friends-having-coffe_2368431207.jpg

Libras are the harmonizers of the zodiac. They crave balance, justice, and harmony (they are the Scales, after all), and they'll bend over backward to bring harmony to people in their lives. Because of this, Libras are natural mediators who can help bring different personalities and factions together — if not to total resolution, at least to an uneasy sort of peace.

This drive for harmony also creates Libra's biggest challenge: people-pleasing. Being a people pleaser can be mentally draining, and it's a challenge many Libras face throughout their lives. 

Scorpio: Best Lovers

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/358721-850x567-beach-hug-queer-couple-love-lgbtq-2342312285.jpg

Scorpios: they're deeply mysterious, powerfully magnetic, and, well, sizzling. They are the hotties of the zodiac, the ones everyone wants to hit the sheets with. Scorpios are intense and deeply passionate, and it definitely shows up in the sack. 

On the challenge side, Scorpios can carry a grudge like nobody's business. Once you get on a Scorpio's bad side, you'll probably be there forever. It's a challenge Scorpios need to overcome to have a peaceful life. 

Sagittarius: Best at Being Happy

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/357644-850x566-senior-woman-laughing-2233387685.jpg

Happy-go-lucky Sagittarius has a great sense of fun and a huge case of wanderlust, and they're the luckiest sign of the zodiac. They're affable, funny, and super enthusiastic about everything. Because they're so likely to chase their passions (of which they have many), Sagittarians are often super contented and happy with their lives. 

And while they are wildly enthusiastic, Sagittarians often struggle with commitment, which is their biggest challenge. There's always something new and exciting on the horizon to chase, which makes it difficult for them to stay with any one thing for very long.

Capricorns: Winners at Work

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/358428-850x566-coworkers-laughing_2159023891.jpg

Capricorns make the absolute best employees, bosses, and entrepreneurs. It's because they have a powerful work ethic combined with deep and abiding ambition. They rise easily to the top of whatever they put their mind to because they are willing to do what it takes to get the job done and be successful.

And while they're famous for their work ethic, that can quickly flip into workaholism for Capricorns, which is their biggest challenge. They're often so busy chasing success that they lack work-life balance. 

Aquarius: Best at Innovation

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/home/design-decor/images/slide/340778-850x566-design-your-own-bedroom-1382446876.jpg

Intelligent and free-thinking Aquarians are the problem solvers of the zodiac, and their solutions are often unconventional and innovative. With their highly creative and keen minds, Aquarians can envision solutions that could change the world. 

This may make their personal relationships more challenging, however. Because they live in their heads, Aquarians can be aloof and a little disconnected from their fellow humans. 

Pisces: Most Creative

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/359005-850x566-teenager-painting-2322199857.jpg

Pisces are incredibly creative. And if you ask them how they came up with a creative idea, a Pisces will tell you it just came to them — as water signs, they're incredibly intuitive and seemingly connected to the creativity of the universe. No other zodiac sign intuits and creates in quite the same magical way as a Pisces.

Of course, this deep connection to everything around them can also bring about Pisces's biggest challenge: poor boundaries. When you feel deeply connected to everything, it's hard to figure out where you end and everything else begins, and this is something many Pisces struggle with for their entire lives. 

Every Zodiac Sign Is the Best at Something

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/www/images/slide/358065-850x566-friends-old-camera-2237991501.jpg

We can't really say what the best zodiac sign is, because if you ask 12 people, they'll each have a different answer. But we can definitely tell you what each zodiac sign is best at, as every sign has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. From Aries's competitive spirit to Pisces's creativity, every zodiac sign is best at something that makes them unique and pretty great.
