4 Zodiac Signs With Souls Made Of Iron
In a world full of young souls, old souls, sweet souls, bitter souls, and innocent souls, iron souls stand out for their ability to withstand intense heat without melting. They may bend, but they won’t break. If you knock them down, they get up.
Iron souls may not be physically strong, but in the long game of life, emotional toughness is what counts.
Instead of death by a thousand paper cuts, iron souls survive a thousand paper cuts.
They collect emotional scars like soldiers collect war medals. Even though they may lose, iron souls never surrender.
These four zodiac signs embody what the 19th-century philosopher Nietzsche meant when he famously said, “Out of life’s school of war—what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.”
1. Capricorn
Capricorns don’t get nearly enough credit for their quietly unbreakable spirit. They aren’t bold like Leo, vindictive like Scorpio, or combative like Taurus. Instead, they stoically endure hardships that would have crushed a thousand frailer souls. When someone shoots an arrow into their heart, they pluck it out, snap it in half, toss it over their shoulder, smile gently, and walk away. They can recall harrowing tales of abuse and neglect without the slightest hint of self-pity. After all, they survived it. They lived to tell the tale. They see no point in wasting emotions over negative experiences.
2. Taurus
When life puts something in the Bull’s way, they walk right through it. These fixed Earth signs, who are known above all else for their stubbornness, never waver, falter, stumble, or crumble. If you are a foolish and flashy little matador who wants to wave a red cape in front of Taurus to please the crowd at a bullfight, expect to get gored. Taurus steadily endures the long day’s journey into night without flinching, complaining, or growing weaker. No matter how many times life tests them, they pass every time.
3. Leo
The Lion has a ferocious survival instinct. Leos are born with an indomitable, indefatigable, unconquerable sense of self. No matter how low you go with them, no matter what you say to make them try to second-guess themselves, it bounces off their iron-shield ego like rockets off an anti-missile defense system. Leos are determined, courageous, and keep their eyes focused so intensely on the prize that they don’t even blink. They are the embodiment of what Shakespeare said about how cowards die many deaths, but the valiant only die once.
4. Scorpio
Imbued by the cosmos with a wicked sense of resilience, Scorpios do not fear pain. They also won’t hesitate from inflicting pain if you try to harm them. Just like you will never see a scorpion smile or hear them laugh, you will also never see them wince or hear them cry. They keep it all inside. It is their refusal to make themselves vulnerable, to share things with you that you may one day use against them, that gives them their legendary mystery and strength.
