Tired All the Time? How Your Energy Levels Relate to Your Zodiac Sign

If you struggle with your energy levels, it might be related to your Zodiac sign. Some signs–particularly those in the Air and Fire categories–seem to be brimming with energy while others–Water and Earth–might feel more tired. Where does your sign rank?

12. Pisces (February 19-March 20)

While Pisces can be very intense for short spans of time, you feel exhausted afterward. You have the least energy of all the Zodiac signs–possibly because you have such dynamic dreams that you never really feel rested.

11. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s not that Cancer has no energy–it’s just that everyone else uses it up so quickly! You are so in tune with other people’s emotions that their drama leaves you feeling drained. Make sure to prioritize your own well-being, dear one.

10. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Scorpio isn’t lazy. You just don’t see why you should bother wasting your time and energy on unimportant things. You can dance all night or work all day, but only if you feel motivated to do so. Otherwise, you’d rather just chill.

9. Leo (July 23-August 22)

The thing about Leo is that you want to be a 24/7 party person, but you’re just too tired. This sign of the Zodiac, like its namesake the lion, requires plenty of rest after a big meal or a big night out. You need your beauty sleep, darling, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

8. Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libra would totally rule the world, if you didn’t need a quick nap first. You have very selective tiredness, feeling wide-awake when you’re enjoying yourself but dragging in meetings or dull, repetitive work.

7. Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgo was voted “Most Likely to Pull an All-Nighter” in college. You have a strong work ethic and won’t stop if you’re in the middle of a tricky assignment or vexing problem. But although you can stay alert with the help of caffeine, don’t forget that your body needs rest.

6. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus is slow to get going, but once you start you’re almost impossible to stop. You tend not to have big spikes in energy, keeping things steady throughout the day.

5. Capricorn (December 23-January 20)

The best word to describe Capricorn is “relentless.” You embody the idea that slow and steady wins the race, focusing on incremental progress and hard work. While other people burn themselves out, you’re quietly slaying all your goals.

4. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gemini has a rep for being restless. Your brain is always going, leaping from one idea to the next, even when your body is tired. Avoid caffeine since the last thing you need is jittery, unstable energy.

3. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

If you give an Aquarian a cause they believe in, they’ll work tirelessly at it. Humanitarian causes, animal charities, environmental crusades–Aquarius is always trying to make the world a better place. One way that you manage your energy is by avoiding TV and social media.

2. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Sagittarius will probably clock more miles traveled than any other Zodiac sign. Even if you’re not able to follow your wanderlust on a globe-spanning adventure, your restless energy makes you pace and fidget. The best thing you can do is to find a constructive way to channel it.

1. Aries (March 21-April 19)

As a Fire sign, Aries has more energy than many people. Your passion to win–and sometimes your fiery temper–fuels you to keep going when others tire. Just remember to stay hydrated, Aries.
