The 5 Biggest Brats Of The Zodiac

The word “brat” used to conjure a negative image of a spoiled, entitled, immature, and maybe even dangerous person who needs to be disciplined for their own good. But being a “brat” has recently taken on a more positive spin—brats are people who honor their authentic selves despite what others may think of them.

They embrace their true personality, flaws and all. What others might see as obnoxious, brats see as empowering. If anything, the haters are jealous that the brats don’t buckle down and obey as easily as others do. Being a brat is more a mindset than a fashion trend, more an attitude than a style. Brats are defiant, assertive, and sometimes maybe even a little bit dramatic. And they never apologize for being themselves.

Here are the zodiac’s five brattiest signs. Don’t even bother trying to tell them what to do or how to behave.

1. Leo

Confident, strong-willed, and extroverted to the point where it risks being egomaniacal, the Lion can scorch everything in their path. If you are foolish enough to try laying down rules for a Leo, they will stomp right over them. Ambitious, driven, and dripping with natural-born rizz, you’d do best to get out of their way if you don’t want to get run over.

2. Aries

The Ram is a fire sign just like Leo, but they are also guided by Mars, the red planet that makes them bold, independent, and ready for battle at the slightest provocation. Temperamental and impulsive, they insist on leading and refuse to follow. And if people don’t want to follow them, that’s OK—they’ll keep walking alone into the glorious sunset. They might even stampede into the glorious sunset.

3. Taurus

Although an Earth sign—which usually means more grounded and traditional rather than flighty and impetuous—the Bull’s legendary stubbornness is what makes them so damned bratty. They absolutely HATE being told what to do. Adamant and headstrong, they will dig in their heels and refuse to compromise. Have you ever tried playing tug of war with a Bull? I’d advise against it. On top of that, being ruled by Venus makes them crave life’s finer things, no matter how extravagant, indulgent, or even slutty those things may be. No one in their right mind would call them shy, reserved, or…perish the thought…demure.

4. Sagittarius

As the zodiac’s arch daredevil and someone who doesn’t mind being a little reckless when it suits them, the Archer will draw back their bow and shoot their arrow randomly into the sky, blissfully unconcerned with where it lands or—if they’re in a naughty mood—whom it might strike. Does it get any brattier than that? This nonconformist fire sign will do it their way, or they won’t do it at all. They get easily bored, particularly when it comes to rules and regulations. They think that tradition is for people who can’t come up with their own material. 

5. Aquarius

This air sign might not be bratty in their outward appearance or trashy in their behavior, but they have the brattiest minds. Aquarians are the most individualistic, free-thinking, and unconventional sign of them all. In modern astrology, Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which governs innovation, creativity, and fierce individualism. Aquarians march to the beat of their own drummer. If they’re feeling especially bratty, they’ll beat their own drum while marching.
