The Most Inspirational Quote for Your Zodiac Sign

Get ready to get inspired!

You know when you hear a quote that speaks directly to you? Sure, someone else might think it’s a nice sentiment, but for you, it means something more. It might make you feel a little bit better or a little more understood, and it can give you just the boost you need. While the words may resonate with you because of something you’re currently going through, chances are they make an even bigger impact because of your personality, as determined by your zodiac sign—much like the stars can influence your choice of a hobby or a pet, or even how polite you are.

According to astrologer Rebecca Farrar, the sun in our charts is what draws us to certain things. “Just like the sun in the sky, it shows us what lights us up and keeps us in our gravitational pull ready to face the world,” she explains. “During a time of massive uncertainty, it can be difficult to stay connected to ourselves. Aligning with what motivates your solar sense of self can help you stay centered in your unique values and expression in the world.”

The following inspirational quotes, curated in conjunction with Farrar, can help you do just that—tapping into your innermost feelings, focusing you on what’s truly important to you, and pointing you in the right direction. Read them and you’ll feel focused and inspired before you know it! Then, for even more of a boost, check out these other uplifting quotes and life-changing quotes.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

“Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.” —Barbra Streisand

Bulls may feel inspired when they’re connecting with others and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, notes Farrar, which is why the words of Barbra Streisand—a Taurus herself—will resonate for those born under this sign.

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” —Albert Einstein

Gemini’s active mind and curiosity keep them motivated, according to Farrar. This air sign also likes to keep their options open, because, hey, you just never know what could be out there! Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Kanye West, and former president John F. Kennedy are all Geminis who might have found inspiration in Einstein’s words.

Cancer (June 21–July 22)

“I can do things you cannot. You can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things.” —Mother Teresa

What makes Cancer tick? Caring for others. It’s their main motivator in life, and it informs all of their relationships, whether long-term or casual. This quote from Mother Teresa would resonate with the likes of ordinary and famous Crabs, including all-around-nice guy Tom Hanks and maybe even the late Princess Diana, the People’s Princess. This water sign’s emotional depth and intuitive skills make them particularly adept at making sure others are happy and comfortable, and they’ll do what they can to achieve those great things Mother Teresa alludes to. It should come as no surprise that Cancer also happens to be one of the most trustworthy signs.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

“Only when you can be extremely pliable and soft can you be extremely hard and strong.” —Zen Proverb

Self-expression and authenticity are the cornerstones of Leos, who have a healthy sense of self and self-awareness. “I notice Leos loving Buddhism,” says Farrar. These creative kings of the jungle—who include the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Barack Obama—are born leaders who possess warm hearts and are fueled by their fire sign. They are always eager to learn about themselves and the world around them, and words of inspiration from spiritual leaders will speak to their desire to grow.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

“Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.” —Henry Ford

If the very thought of that frustrates you, you’re probably a Virgo! Farrar notes that people born under this sign are focused on problem-solving and are very willing to look at things critically. That means they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty, put in the work, and find solutions. Business tycoon Henry Ford’s words could motivate a Virgo to do just that in their own life—pronto! Find out if Virgo is also one of the smartest zodiac signs.

Libra (September 23–October 22)

“If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another.” —Winston Churchill

Peace-loving people born under the air sign of Libra are all about justice, equality, and fairness.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

“If you shift your focus from yourself to others, extend your concern to others, and cultivate the thought of caring for the well-being of others, then this will have the immediate effect of opening up your life and helping you to reach out.” —The Dalai Lama

These determined leaders may appear as cool as cucumbers, but make no mistake—they are powerful and passionate creatures who aren’t afraid to dig deep into the darkness. Perhaps that is why they are so afraid of being exposed. This quote from the Dalai Lama will inspire those born under this water sign to be their best selves and resist the urge to shut out others.

Farrar notes that many famous (and famously intense) people are born under the sign of Capricorn, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Kate Middleton, and Greta Thunberg. Responsible and serious, Capricorns would most likely seek out sayings that confirm their need to control, but they could benefit from a dose of humor, as physicist Niels Bohr aptly notes. These funny quotes might do the trick.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
