  1. Grounded and steady, this fixed earth sign has more mental and emotional strength than the average sign. Although Taurus can be a little stubborn at times, they always approach life’s tough moments with patience and tenacity. No matter what emotional challenge or difficulty a Taurus faces, they’ll always come out stronger on the other side!
    • Emotional Advice: Find solace in the sensual aspects of life when you hit a rough mental or emotional patch. Treat yourself to your favorite meal, buy yourself a comfy new outfit, spritz yourself with some high-quality perfume, or find another activity that really appeals to your senses.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 713 wikiHow readers if they think Taureans are generally controlling and stubborn, and 69% of them said yes . [Take Poll] This can be a positive when it comes to facing and handling challenges!
  2. Bold, brave, and resilient, the fiery lion is poised and ready to pounce on whatever life tosses in their direction. Rough week? It’s no problem for a Leo—they’ve got their game face on and are ready to push through any mental and emotional challenges that the remaining days have to offer.
    • Emotional Advice: As the most affectionate sign of the zodiac, channel your natural need for hugs and other types of physical affection. [1] When you’re having a bad day, a big hug can make all the difference.

  3. The sensitive crab is super in-tune with their own needs and emotions, as well as the needs and emotions of others. As the nurturing mother hen of the zodiac, they love to take care of and emotionally support the people around them. [2] This powerful sense of emotional duty offers Cancer a unique source of both mental and emotional strength when tough times arise.
  4. As grounded and steady as the earth beneath their feet, Virgos live up to their patron element when it comes to their mental and emotional strength. Whether it’s a breakup, argument, or other tough situation, Virgo is able to take everything in stride without mentally or emotionally breaking.
    • Emotional Advice: As a Virgo, it’s only natural that you want every last detail in life to be perfect. [3] Still, it’s better for your own mental and emotional health to accept things as they are instead of trying to control and micromanage a situation.
  5. With a keen sense of emotional intuition, the empathetic Pisces isn’t afraid to approach emotionally tough situations with sensitivity and compassion. Like their patron fish, Pisces approaches life in a very fluid way without taking the little things to heart. [4]
    • Emotional Advice: Make an effort to stick around through the rigid and unpleasant conversations as well as the positive ones. While it can be tempting to run away and “ghost” someone during an uncomfortable situation, it’s alway better to see things through until the very end.
  6. The bold ram is willing to lock horns with any challenge that comes its way, big or small. Aries has a special way of looking at situations from a zoomed-out perspective, which allows them to juggle tough emotions and thoughts during a stressful moment. Despite being a fire sign, you can count on Aries to stay cool, calm, and steady when times get tough.
    • Emotional Advice: Aries has a natural courageousness to tell you how they feel—they cannot hold things back or keep things secret for very long. [5] Embrace this sense of openness during a mentally or emotionally tough conversation to prevent any miscommunication from happening.
  7. As an earth sign, the grounded and rooted goat isn’t easily swayed by emotional and mental stressors. Instead, Capricorns take time to balance their stress and worries in a manageable way so they don’t collapse under the weight of their thoughts and feelings.
    • Emotional Advice: Singer Bill Withers said it best—we all need somebody to lean on! Just because you can manage your daily struggles on your own doesn’t mean that you have to. Venting to a friend or asking a loved one for advice are great ways to boost your emotional and mental strength.
  8. Balanced and poised, the scales of the zodiac have a lot of different options available in their mental and emotional toolbox. When life gets hard, Libra knows that they don’t have to cope with their struggles alone—they have a whole contact list of friends that they can call, text, or generally rely on.

Least Emotionally Strong Zodiac Signs

  1. The intellectual water bearer can balance their mental and emotional stressors when they put their mind to it. The main problem is that they tend to mentally isolate themselves and make their problems bigger and more severe than they actually are and they usually have ideas or beliefs that they are extremely, very strong willed about. [6] That’s okay, though—a little self-reflection can go a long way with this sign.
    • Emotional Advice: Don’t just go through the motions by asking a friend for advice. Instead, really take what they say to heart as you try to apply their wisdom to your life.
  2. The fiery and dynamic archer is one of the most restless signs in the zodiac—they don’t like to stay in one place for very long. [7] This constant sense of movement also applies to their emotional philosophy towards life, and prevents them from really diving into and shouldering the weight of their emotions.
    • Emotional Advice: Choose to buckle down and face an uncomfortable situation instead of running away. As tough as it may feel in the moment, remember that life’s toughest moments often have the most important lessons to teach us.
  3. As the resident scorpion of the zodiac, Scorpios are great at presenting themselves in a strong, untouchable light. They are very willful about the personal power they wield. [8] However, plenty of Scorpios use this façade to hide and downplay the validity of their feelings, which doesn’t leave them in an emotionally strong position.
    • Emotional Advice: Scorpios tend to be tense. [9] Push past this natural instinct and give yourself permission to feel your feelings! Crying after a tough day or bad argument doesn’t make you weak—it shows that you care enough about the world around you to get upset when things go wrong.
  4. Social and on the move, the free-spirited twins don’t like to be bogged down with a lot of emotional baggage. Because of this, they don’t always bother to build up the emotional strength and dexterity to sail through life’s difficulties. It’s okay, though—Geminis are super flexible and adaptable. With a little practice and intention, you can conquer any emotional challenge that comes your way!
    • Emotional Advice: Develop some simple, effective coping strategies that you can use when you’re having a rough day. You might put together a soothing playlist to help calm your racing thoughts, or vent to a friend about a frustrating situation that’s weighing on your mind.
