Which Zodiac Signs Are Good in a Crisis–And Which Ones Crack?

Are you cool under pressure, or do you fall apart? As ever, you can find clues to your core personality traits in your Zodiac sign.

We’ve chosen the 3 most resilient signs–and the 3 most likely to panic in a crisis.

Best in a Crisis

3. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Sagittarius, you might be good in a crisis–but honestly, it’s because you don’t care as much as most people. You feel like whatever should happen, will happen. So why worry about it?

Your cool, laid-back approach to life means that disasters rarely get you down for long. But you also trust other people to take care of things. You’d feel better–and earn more respect–if you learned how to help.

2. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Although you can be a smidge too stubborn, overall your quiet strength and steady, calming presence is wonderful in a crisis. You work hard, don’t complain, and always have water and snacks for everyone.

The only thing you could work on, Taurus, is being more willing to compromise and listen to other people’s orders. You tend to think that you know best, but sometimes someone else knows better.

1. Capricorn (December 23-January 20)

Congratulations, Capricorn! Calm, unflappable, and more than willing to put in the work, you are the MVP of any disaster. You always have a plan, but you also have a backup plan… and backup for your backup.

You don’t hold too tightly to any one plan, however, adapting to events as they happen. That mindset, combined with your determined work ethic, makes you the best person to have around in a crisis.

Worst in a Crisis

3. Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgo doesn’t love anything more than a good plan. But when things take a surprising left turn, you don’t always cope so well. Adapting on the fly is a challenge–but you’re more than up to a challenge, aren’t you?

Try not to be so rigid in the way you approach life; you might just find that a lot more goes right when you are a little more flexible.

2. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gemini, you are more than capable of handling any problem… if you can pay attention for long enough to actually do it. Your eclectic approach to life could be an asset, but unfortunately, you get overwhelmed and distracted so easily.

If you can work on your focus, you could move up this list. But you’ll be fighting against your nature. Is it worth the effort? Only you can decide.

1. Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Sorry, Pisces, but I think we both knew where you’d appear on this list. If there’s one thing you could focus on improving about yourself, it would be your resiliency.

You tend to fall apart under pressure–in fact, you break down into a soggy mess. That’s partially due to your position as the wateriest of Water signs, but you can still work to counteract that tendency.
