Scorpio
At the top of our list, we find Scorpio, the zodiac’s deadly scorpion. Governing the period from October 23 to November 21, Scorpio makes up a whopping 9.6% of the entire US population. This makes Scorpio the most common zodiac sign among the other 12. They’re a water element ruled by the planets Pluto and Mars. Let’s take a quick look at who Scorpio is:
Expect energy and unpredictability from these signs. Scorpios are rarely bored and they’re constantly planning for their next adventure. They love to keep things interesting. So they’re always ready with a trick up their sleeve. It’s a little funny that they’re the most common – when they also tend to have the most destructive energy as a sign – watch out!
Virgo
The second most common sign out there is the Virgo. Born from October 23 to November 21, the estimates are that Virgo makes up 9.4% of the US population. An earth element ruled by the planet Mercury, and symbolized by the Virgin. Virgo is also very kind and intelligent, a great friend to have. What do we know about Virgo?
Always around to help a friend, whether to give advice or lend an ear. You can count on Virgo to always have your back. They will do what they can for the people they care about. And considered to be one of the smartest among the signs. Among the Earth signs, Virgo stands out for tenderness and having a nurturing personality.
Gemini
The third most common sign in the US is Gemini. Born from May 21 to June 20, the estimates are that Gemini makes up 9.3% of the US population. Symbolized by The Twins, with air as their element and ruled by Mercury. Gemini is the life of a party, and probably the person who started it, too! Sociable with an incredible sense of humor.
While Gemini is a delight to hang around, this sign is volatile like Scorpio. They are chaotic individuals who usually contradict themselves. Gemini can never quite decide who they are. Or what it is they want to do. One thing’s for sure – they’re sure to catch you by surprise.
Pisces
The fourth most common sign in the United States is the fish Pisces. Born in the period between February 14 to March 20, Pisces makes up 9.1% of the US population. Pisces has the planet Neptune as its planetary ruler with water as its element. Pisces is a creative soul, who enjoys innovation when approaching problems. Sweet and sensitive, they also make it a point to be there for others whenever they’re needed.
Another fun fact about Pisces is how empathetic they are. Actually, Pisces is the most empathetic zodiac sign of all. They have bleeding hearts and can’t stand to see people around them suffer. Whether it’s those close to them or complete strangers! We can definitely stand to have more of these fish swimming around.
Libra
The fifth most common sign in the US has the scales as its symbol – Libra! Born from September 22 to October 22, the estimates are that Libra makes up 8.8% of the US population. Ruled by the planet Venus, with air as their element. Libra is famous as an elegant and romantic intellectual. If you’re looking for fruitful discussions and 2am thoughts, Libra is definitely the perfect candidate for you.
Libra has an obsession with fairness and justice. It’s hinted at in their symbol, after all. Take care not to upset the balance when you’re around Libra! While they usually are aloof and fair, they cannot stand injustice. You don’t want a Libra coming after you.
Cancer
The sixth most common sign in the US is the crabby and sensitive Cancer. They were born from June 21 to July 22, the estimates are that Cancer makes up 8.5% of the US population. Ruled by the Moon, with water as their element. Cancers are nurturing yet like to keep their distance as individuals. They aren’t unwilling to welcome people into their lives when they have to, but Cancers often take trust very seriously.
Cancers, like Pisces, are very empathetic creatures. However, what holds them back is their overly sensitive nature. While it helps them tend to others better, they also expect the same level of care from everyone. When someone steps on their sensibilities, Cancer becomes moody and abrasive. It’s sometimes difficult to get along with them, but they are loyal and caring friends for life.
Enumerating the Least Common Zodiac Signs
Although being a common sign has its advantages, being a more rare sign has its own pros. Rarity means you’ll struggle to find people who match your energy and wavelength. However, this also makes you such an irreplaceable treasure. So don’t despair if your sign isn’t up there. The least common zodiac signs listed below:
Aquarius
Top of our list as the rarest sign, we have The Water Bearer, Aquarius. Born from January 20 to February 18, the estimates are that Aquarius makes up 6.3% of the US population. Ruled by the Planet Uranus, with Air as its element, Aquarius is famous for sticking out like a sore thumb. They would rather do their own thing. No matter how unusual or weird it might be.
Aquarius tends to behave like a contrarian. They don’t like following the norm. Even their symbol, flowing water, contradicts with their element – air! But you can trust in Aquarius to stick to their beliefs – just not to share yours.
Leo
The second rarest sign is Leo the Lion. Born from July 23 to August 22, the estimates are that Leo makes up 7.1% of the US population. Ruled by the sun, with fire as its element. Leo is a charming intellectual, able to talk to just about anyone. These fun extroverts are rare but well-liked by others.
Leos are the loud and proud life of a party. Always high energy, always moving. They can’t stand it if no attention or love is there for them. On the plus side, they love taking care of others and being relied on. A lovely and cheery person.
Sagittarius
The third rarest sign is Sagittarius, The Archer. Born from November 22 to December 21, the estimates are that Sag makes up 7.3% of the US population. Ruled by the planet Jupiter, with fire as its element. Sagittarius is a lone wolf by heart. They enjoy exploring and spending time alone.
Sags are natural leaders. But they are also quite reckless and impulsive. Shooting straight like an arrow, Sag never thinks their decisions through that well. Regardless, they care for their friends. And you can always count on them to do what others are afraid to.
Aries
The fourth rarest sign is Aries, The Ram. Born from March 21 to April 19, the estimates are that Aries makes up 8.1% of the US population. Ruled by the planet Mars, with Fire as its element. Aries are natural born leaders, unafraid to lead and direct the charge. Headstrong and confident, this is the sign anyone would love to have on their side.
However, they are also obsessive and single-minded. They can’t take no for an answer. Aries will aggressively, like a Ram, butt their heads at something until they have their way. But otherwise, their high energy is infectious.
Capricorn
Fifth rarest sign is the Capricorn, The Sea Goat. Born from December 22 to January 19, the estimates are that Capricorn makes up 8.2% of the US population. Ruled by the planet Saturn, with earth as its element. Capricorn exercises drive and passion with their goals – and they often have big ones. They are achievers and will often push themselves to do more than the people around them.
Capricorn feels like they have to achieve greatness in their lives. They feel the pressure of time constantly passing around them. As a result, they sometimes neglect their personal lives. The good news is that they mellow out later on in life.
Taurus
At the end of our list is the stubborn bull, Taurus. If you’re born from April 20 to May 20, then you’re a certified true Taurus. The estimates are that Taurus makes up 8.3% of the US population. Making them not too far off from the Cancer sign in terms of percentages.
