4 Zodiac Signs With The Oldest Souls

What makes an old soul? In astrology, there is a simple explanation: every zodiac sign has a spiritual “age” or maturity level based on the order of the zodiac. Each sign also belongs to one of four natural elements (earth, fire, air, or water), with three of each element on the zodiac wheel. Therefore, the last four signs of the zodiac are the “oldest” or most spiritually mature of their respective elements. Here are the four star signs with the oldest souls and how their ancient wisdom shines.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius is the fire sign with the oldest soul, and their spiritual maturity shows through almost everything they do. Sagittarius is guided by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, travel, philosophy, and miracles. This tells us that evolved Sagittarians value personal growth, exploring foreign places, and learning new things. These old souls are also eternal optimists who believe in miracles. They have faith that the universe will provide, so they never let challenges or negativity bring them down for very long. 

As a fire sign, Sagittarians are passionate, bold, and independent. Since their souls are so experienced, Sagittarians know how to harness these qualities and use them for self-empowerment. Unlike the younger fire signs (Aries and Leo), Sagittarians have better control of their fiery tempers and are more disciplined. They use their seemingly boundless energy to travel the world, stay up late reading self-improvement books, and teach others everything they know. If you want an entertaining and enthusiastic teacher, look no further than a Sagittarius: this old soul will gladly share all the wisdom they have gleaned from their travels and life journey.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn is the oldest earth sign, and earth signs are known for being grounded, practical, and stable. Guided by Saturn, the planet of structure and authority, Capricorn embodies the earth sign characteristics even more strongly than the others (Taurus and Virgo).

Capricorn’s old soul is blessed with patience. They know that good things take time, and they work diligently to get whatever they want. As perhaps the hardest-working and most ambitious zodiac sign, Capricorns are incredibly resilient. They became old souls by withstanding hardships and passing test after test.

Although they are strong enough to weather many storms, Capricorn’s weakness is emotional intelligence. Because they are so tough, they expect others to be the same way, and their high expectations can be hard on their loved ones. But Capricorn is known as “the father of the zodiac,” and it may take nurturing someone else for Capricorns to fully evolve. Becoming a parent (even a pet parent) can soften their hearts and teach them the remaining universal lessons they need to know.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

As an air sign, Aquarians are intelligent, social, and adventurous. They love connecting with others to exchange ideas and learn new things. 

Aquarius is primarily ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation and revolution. Uranus inspires this zodiac sign to make positive change and have a lasting impact on the world. They are unapologetically themselves – instead of following trends, they set them, and their influence has a wide reach. Aquarius is also ruled by Saturn, giving this whimsical star sign the structure and balance needed to make their big plans a reality. 

As the sign of the humanitarian, Aquarians were sent here to help others, and they feel best when serving their communities. These old souls use the life lessons they have learned to make the world a better place. 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces has the oldest soul of them all. This star sign is guided by Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and spirituality. The role of Pisces is to help connect the rest of us to the spirit world. They are so spacey and dreamy that it often seems like they have just one foot on Earth while the other is already marching ahead into the spiritual realm. 

Pisces is a water sign, and water signs are typically intuitive, sensitive, and emotional. Thanks to Neptune’s influence, Pisces has honed their intuitive abilities so much that they are practically clairvoyant. In fact, evolved Pisceans may be in touch with their psychic abilities, which they can use to help others. These powerful yet gentle old souls are here to show us that there is more to life than what we can see, and that faith is of the utmost importance.
