The 5 Most Stubborn Zodiacs (And How They Can Overcome It)

Aries 

Those with an Aries family member know how stubborn they can be! When these signs find something they believe in, they won’t budge an inch. While it can make them difficult to work with, it does mean that Aries will stand up whenever they see injustices in the world. On the other hand, if an Aries ghosts you, don’t expect to hear from them again!

Aries, if you’re struggling with your stubborn streak, identify three people you’re willing to listen to. This can be a parent, a friend, or a mentor. You’ll be more willing to listen to a different perspective if it comes from a person you know and trust. 

Leo

Stubborn and obstinate, these kings of the jungle believe that their way is the right way. As a fixed fire sign, Leos have no problem standing their ground. They’re one of the most likely signs to speak from the heart and let others know their opinions. They never question their actions, even if others do.  

To overcome your stubbornness, always listen to the other side of the story. You won’t always agree with different perspectives, but it will help you become an active listener. 

Aquarius 

Aquarians are hyper-focused on social justice issues and politics. No matter what side of the aisle you fall on, you’re unlikely to change your perspective. You’ve spent hours researching the causes you care about, and you’re prepared to defend your beliefs with cold, hard facts. 

It can be difficult to open yourself up to other opinions. Keep an open mind and reserve judgment—considering everyone’s input will prevent you from jumping to a negative conclusion.

Scorpio 

While Scorpios aren’t the most stubborn zodiac signs, they’re pretty close! It’s hard to change a Scorpio’s mind—like Aquarians, they’re thorough investigators. They back their arguments up with sources, making it difficult to change their minds. Unlike other zodiacs on this list, Scorpios will listen to different opinions – just don’t expect them to change their minds! 

Scorpios, use your charisma to discover a resolution to any and all conflicts. You’re not giving up any power by using this approach – instead, you’re arriving at a solution that is beneficial for both parties. 

Taurus 

It’s not a surprise that Taurus is the most unyielding sign. These bulls dig in their heels when asked to consider a different perspective. Just like their sign, many of them are quick to anger when challenged. Most Tauruses don’t see themselves as inflexible; instead, they believe that it’s the only way to live their lives. 

For Tauruses, their stubbornness might be a form of self-sabotage. The next time you’re faced with the same problem, determine what you hope to gain by holding firm in your position. Are you pushing people away? Does this form of self-sabotage keep you safe? Examining your thinking is essential for change to happen.
