4 Zodiacs That Don’t Know When To Quit

In a world where lasting power and commitment seems to be scarce, these four zodiac signs take determination to another level. Once you get them going, once they get something in their heads — it’s immensely difficult to get them to change their minds or alter their trajectory. The four signs that give their blood, sweat and tears to accomplishing a set goal are Aries, Taurus, Scorpio and Capricorn. The level of dedication they exude can either help or hinder their personal well-being. All four would benefit from taking brakes and moments to relax or unwind.

These individuals just don’t know when to quit, for better or for worse. That being said, this quality makes them loyal companions, dedicated workers and leaders and makes them one unstoppable force. When it comes to achieving what they’ve set out to do, they have a “can’t stop, won’t stop” mentality. They all must be mindful of not running or working themselves into the ground. For this reason they may be especially susceptible to burnout, or negative health implications. Learning when to throw in the towel can be one of their greatest challenges

Aries

The Rams really give a whole new meaning to the term head-strong. This bold and at times brazen Fire Sign is not shy when it comes to getting what they want. While their confident and strong attitudes and personas tend to stand-out, their planetary ruler Mars is primarily responsible for their unwavering determination to achieve. Mars is action-oriented and likes to move forward, similarly most Aries are happiest when they are working towards a goal. They relish in accomplishing whatever they’ve set out to do. 

Like a warrior in battle, once Aries gets going or sets their sights on a goal their motions become mechanical. They tap into instinct and let that be their guide, but will often take a direct approach. This can come off as pushy and overbearing. Enthusiasm typically ends up getting the best of them, and this can make them appear rather unaware. Anyone who stands in their path could coincidently get burned. While they’re on a fast-track towards their desires they must become aware of how their actions affect others. 

Taurus 

With the methodically and steadfast Bull on the case, no stone will go unturned. Taurus does not easily give-up and will continue on in the toughest of conditions. When Taurus is fixated on something, forget about it — it’s as good as theirs. First and foremost the act or energy of acquiring is present in their traditional house: The 2nd House of Worth & Value. If something has value to Taurus, it becomes nearly impossible to convince them otherwise. There is a strategic approach to the way they move. They are willing to try every angle, combination or possibility. As a fixed Earth Sign, there is also this unmoveable quality to them. Willing to do whatever it takes, however long at any cost is often the mentality of a Taurus.

Still, this sign takes the “work smarter, not harder” approach. While they are willing to work tirelessly, they are all about finding the easiest route. Even if it takes a lot of time and attention initially, Taurus is intelligent enough to know that they are setting themselves up for future success. This foresight allows them to stay committed to their goal and see their task through. While their stubbornness can contribute to their success, it can also hold them back. They need to learn to hear and incorporate other perspectives, which may help eliminate some of the challenges they face. 

Scorpio 

If Cancers are clingy then Scorpio is Cancer 2.0. They are secretly clingy, as they like to keep this facet of their personalities underwraps and on the DL. While they boast an air of mystery, underneath is a deeply caring and sensitive Water Sign. The very archetypes of the traditional 8th House of Intimacy and the Unknown, and Pluto as planetary ruler– that point to their hidden and secretive nature are also responsible for their obsessive tendencies. Once a Scorpio becomes  invested in something it’s very hard for them to become uninvolved. Their fixated nature and ability to make deep commitments makes them an unstoppable force once they have their sights set on a specific outcome.

Scorpio’s traditional ruler, before Pluto was discovered, was Mars. They are still infused with the drive and determination of the red planet and are noticeably passionate. The fire within can be an excellent motivator, which is the engine that keeps them going. They must be careful not to let their desires or aspirations envelop their lives, and their obsessions can take on a life of their own. They can have rather fatalistic viewpoints, and tend to put a lot of pressure on themselves.  They could benefit from setting proper boundaries, both within and with others.

Capricorn

When it comes to setting goals and achieving them, talk to Capricorn — the literal Goat of the zodiac. Giving up and quitting just isn’t in their nature or vocabulary. If these individuals have their sights set on something or make it their personal goal, consider it done. Just give them some time. Their unwavering ability to never quiet, never stop strategizing is admirable to some and a house of horrors to others. Nonetheless, these people are dedicated. For this reason, they can fall into those workaholic tendencies. They might even become slightly corrupted by power on their rise to top, if they don’t remind themselves of their true purpose in the first place. It’s about leaving a lasting and meaningful impact. 

Ruled by steady and sturdy Saturn, Capricorns are pretty committed beings. Their ability to stick to their path is uncanny. They are willing to put in the time and work to accomplish a task. They use their super tunnel vision to their advantage, with sights always set on success. For this reason they must make sure to not make their professional endeavors their everything, especially at the cost of relationships, health or other personal life aspects. The must make sure to tend to the other areas of their life, and they must learn to put their pursuits aside from time to time.
