The Peacemakers & Troublemakers of the Zodiac

The second Venus-ruled sign of the zodiac, Taurus, also prefers. Taurus energy resonates with enjoying the physical things of life. They are quite sensual and desire to kick back and indulge their senses to the fullest. Because of this desire to enjoy the simpler things in life, Taurus prefers to avoid change at all costs so that they can have the security and stability to live a hedonistic lifestyle. It’s hard to truly indulge the senses when there is an external disruption to comfort and security. So if you’re looking for a sign that offers stability and the space to enjoy good food, pleasant scents, and everything else that the five senses have to offer, look no further than Taurus.

Virgo

As a practical, discerning earth sign, Virgo seeks order and routine. Virgo is far too grounded to put up with the overzealous or impractical as this disrupts Virgo’s established structure. Due to its Mercury rulership, Virgo likes to keep things compartmentalized. From their neatly arranged pantry to their color-arranged closets, order makes Virgo feel efficient and effective. Similarly, a daily routine that adds value and meaning to the everyday lived experience is a necessity to feel balanced and at peace within themselves.

Capricorn

As the proclaimed grown-up of the zodiac, you’ll definitely find Capricorn keeping the peace as they are far too busy with their professional endeavors to entertain what they would consider foolishness. The Saturn influence on Capricorn makes them quite aware of their actions as well as the actions of others. Capricorn has a master plan, and they aren’t interested in associating with anyone that could potentially tarnish their reputation. Thus, they are likely to stay away from people and circumstances who excuse trouble and drama. Capricorn is all about accomplishments and achievements. The fewer disturbances there are, the more Capricorn is able to meet its bottom line.

Pisces

Pisces’ go-with-the-flow nature prefers peace. These fishes are quite sensitive, compassionate, and empathetic. Similarly, their lack of boundaries makes them proverbial sponges absorbing everything in their environments. For better or worse, Pisces tends to pick up on all the energetic highs and lows. It is in their best interest to avoid people and environments that are rife with trouble and confusion as Pisces is likely to take on this energy as their own. Additionally, Pisces requires periodic isolation for its own emotional and spiritual replenishment.

Stirring The Pot

Aries

Ruled by Mars, Aries is all about being direct, bold, and assertive to almost aggressive at times. They have no problem staking their claim to what they want, and Aries is definitely fueled by competition. Their fiery nature keeps them passionate and interested in everything around them, and they tend to enjoy people who keep them on their toes. Too much of the same is boring to Aries. Lots of action, whether planned or provoked, stirs Aries’ flames and keeps them engaged ready to make their mark for all to see.

Gemini

If there were a motto for Gemini it would be “Why be peaceful when you can be interesting?” This mutable air sign is known for its ability to communicate with just about anyone. They have a youthful, curious nature that keeps them intrigued and ready to learn more. This curiosity puts Gemini in spaces where they are exposed to different people and circumstances that pique their interest. The exchange of information allows Gemini to stay connected and in the loop. Gemini quite enjoys lots of small talk and idle banter including gossip…even if the sharing of information could be considered messy.

Leo

It is no surprise that Leo aims to be seen which is why they definitely are one of the signs that like to keep the energy moving. Some would even say that Leos are the drama queens of the zodiac always doing something to get themselves noticed. Whether it’s their hairstyle, the style of clothes they wear, a special talent that puts them in the spotlight, or the occasional drama queen and king antics used to show their displeasure or to get their way, Leo is not about keeping the peace because being quiet leads to being ignored! So, expect a lot of dramatics and zealous behavior from Leo in an effort to lay claim to the spotlight.

Scorpio

While Scorpio is one of the more dark, hidden characters of the zodiac, make no mistake that this sign can keep a lot of drama going. However, much of the dramatics are within their personal relationships, so only those closest to them know about their disruptive energies. It should be noted that Scorpio’s Pluto rulership urges them to challenge anything that makes them too comfortable in an effort to get them to evolve. Oftentimes, this requires either internal or external occurrences that force Scorpio out of a place of comfort so that they can move onto the next level. Eventually, peace does come, but not until Scorpio does the work of dealing with their shadow.

Aquarius

By its very nature, Aquarius is disruptive due to the influence of its planetary ruler, Uranus. In order to embrace its uniqueness, Aquarius has to be willing to oppose tradition. Many Aquarians embody electric energy which offers a shock factor that can either liberate and expand the consciousness or cause chaos and disruption. Even when Aquarius seeks like-minded people, they are usually looking for fringe groups or quirky outsiders that have the courage to stand apart from the norm and buck the status quo.

In getting a glimpse of the zodiac signs that prefer peace as well as the ones who prefer more action, it is apparent that true balance requires a bit of both. The peaceful zodiac signs offer a reservoir of stability and support while the more dramatic, instigating zodiac signs hold the energy of curiosity, innovation, and the prospect of something new and different.
