Everyone has their own definition of happiness. For some, it’s not having to worry about money any more. For others, it’s finding true love. And then there are those who crave fame and success in their chosen fields. All of us are born under any one of the 12 zodiac signs, each of which is ruled by a planet. Our zodiac sign shapes our personalities. Does it also play a role in deciding what really makes us happy? Let’s find out!  

Aries: Excitement

Aries loves excitement. They need challenges to overcome. Their martian energies need an outlet. Winning is important to them. But they feel happiest when they conquer their fears. But this can be dangerous too, for it makes them impulsive and reckless.

Taurus: Stability

Change unsettles them. They like to be the ones holding the fort. Having someone they can count on and whom they can trust, makes them happy. They are strong, but when they find a special person, they become both vulnerable and invincible. Love is all that they need for happiness.

Gemini: Freedom

Gemini is very independent. They are like the wind. Try to control it, and a destructive hurricane might be the result. Anybody who tries to control them will find this out the hard way. But fear and dark thoughts steal Gemini’s sense of freedom. Gemini needs trust and support from their loved ones.

Cancer: Continuity

Cancer is a moody sign, as its ruler is the Moon. Emotional security is very important to them. They try to create safe spaces at home, work, finances, and in their relationships. Continuity keeps them grounded and happy.

Leo: Self-Confidence

A confident Leo radiates light and joy that envelops all around them. Leo is happiest when they can be the center of all the attention. They are very warm, friendly, and generous souls, and care a lot about those they love.   AstroVed's Vedic Horoscope provides personalized astrological insights based on your birth chart, offering predictions about career, relationships, health, and more.

Virgo: Admiration

Virgo is hypercritical, and to be fair, they are critical about themselves too. They constantly strive to be perfect, and they just love it when someone notices and appreciates it.  

Libra: Beauty

Love, beauty, and harmony. These three things rule the world of a Libra. When all these elements are present in their life, you get a happy Libran.  

Scorpio: Power

Scorpio is tough. They hate to depend on anything or anyone. Power is what they seek, and power is what makes them happy.

Sagittarius: Hope

Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth, opportunity, and expansion, Sagittarius thrives on hope. Even when all is lost, they will not lose hope. It can keep them afloat even on a stormy sea. As long as they can tap into their endless reserves of hope, Sagittarius will be happy.

Capricorn: Work

The saying, ‘Work is worship’ was probably coined by a Capricorn. Going to work every day is probably what keeps them happy. They are the worker bees of the zodiac. They are ambitious and goal-oriented.  

Aquarius: Saving the world

Aquarius are humanitarians. They believe in liberty and equality. Fighting for the underdog is one of their favorite pastimes. They are happiest when they are out there, making a difference to someone, saving the world, or changing it into a better one.

Pisces: Nurturing others

Pisces is full of compassion and empathy. They are the people one runs to when one is feeling down and out. Their sensitive nature makes them receptive to other people’s emotions and feelings. Making others feel good and taken care of is what makes Pisces happy.
