Is There a Best Zodiac Sign?

A zodiac sign is like a comprehensive inspection of one’s character. And while you may be familiar with the characteristics of your zodiac sign, have you ever considered how it compares to the other 11? Are you among the best or worst zodiac signs? It prompts the question, “What is the best zodiac sign?”

While each sign may argue that they are the best, we must face the facts: every sign is unique and wonderful (and awful) in its own way. Therefore, rather than comparing signs against one another, let’s examine each one individually.

Sun Sign vs. Moon Sign vs. Rising Sign

As you look through the numerous websites that talk about zodiac signs, you will find that some of them mention sun, moon, and rising signs. What are they? Sun, moon, and rising signs are your “big three” which gives a more detailed description of your personality. For instance, your sun sign is core personality traits, the moon sign reveals your inner feelings, and the rising sign shows how others see you. By using a birth chart, you can figure out what each of your signs are, and dive deeper into the world of astrology.

Rarest and Most Common Zodiac Sign

The rarest zodiac sign happens to be Aquarius, as February is the least common birth month and only makes up for 6.3% of the U.S. population. Capricorn also holds low numbers as it’s range falls during Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year’s Day which rank as the three least common birthdays.

The most common zodiac signs are between Scorpio and Libra, but Cancer also ranks highly in the numbers of people born in that range of dates.
