15 Fun Facts About Zodiac Signs

1. The sign most likely to be president…

Check out the breakdown of the history of US Presidents and you’ll see two zodiac signs that keep appearing. Can you guess? Deep, unique, and intelligent? Tough, bold and determined? That’s right!  Aquarius and Scorpio are the most common star signs amongst US Presidents. With Scorpios brave, tenacious, and secretive nature it’s no wonder they would excel in Politics. And Aquarius’s progressive and inquisitive nature makes them natural leaders.

2. The sign most likely to be rich…

When it comes to ‘working smart not working hard’ there is one sign that tends to work both smart and hard. Being represented by the scales, it’s no wonder Libras come up top for the sign most likely to be a billionaire. They weigh up their decisions and don’t make big choices lightly. Impulsiveness or frivolity is not within their nature. According to Forbes magazine, the zodiac signs of Forbes top 250 billionaires showed at least 27 of them are Libras. This is followed by Pisces, with 22 billionaires.

3. The sign most likely to be a bad driver…

According to a 2017 study by Australian car share service GoGet, across 100,000 of their user journeys, there was one zodiac sign who was most likely to get busted for traffic violations. When it comes to being reckless and letting their egos get in the way of logic, Leos reign supreme. They’re not afraid to take a little risk now and then in order to get what they want. And sometimes those risks do not pay off! Unsurprisingly, the patient, thoughtful and considerate nature of Pisces makes them the least likely to get a traffic violation.

4. The sign most likely to be a serial killer…

When it comes to this list of zodiac signs of America’s most famous serial killers, there are two signs which seem to make repeat appearances. Can you guess which ones they are? If being a loner, or being charming are common traits of serial killers, it’s no wonder Pisces and Gemini come up top of the list. But fear not, Geminis are known for being fun, energetic and amazing communicators. Whilst Pisceans are known for their gentle caring nature – it’s not all bad news.

5. The sign most likely to go pro…

What do Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, and Cristiano Ronaldo all have in common? Apart from being some of the most famous and talented sportspeople in history, they are also all born under the Aquarius zodiac sign. The South Florida Astrologer study demonstrates how Aquarius is the most common star sign amongst professional athletes. With a determined, big-picture approach towards life, it’s no wonder Aquarians would have what it takes to go pro.

6. The sign most likely to win a nobel prize…

When it comes to the smartest zodiac sign out there, it’s hard to guess. Could it be thoughtful Libras, or hard-working Capricorns, or even analytical Aquarians? Think again! Thanks to a study undertaken by GoCompare, it’s been confirmed that the star sign most likely to win a Nobel Prize is Gemini. Coming in at 97 Nobel Prize winners, Gemini and their sharp minds came out at the top of the list. Gemini was followed by Libra, who had 93 people win a Nobel Peace Prize, while Virgos were ranked third most intelligent star sign with 88 winners. Capricorn had the fewest Nobel Prize winners with 57 winners.

7. The sign most likely to get into an accident…

Know someone who is constantly walking into things or nursing their most recent knee scuff? Taking another trip to A&E? Can I take a guess that their zodiac sign is Taurus? As reported by Woman’s World, insurer Policy Expert claims that Taureans are the most likely to make a claim on their home insurance due to accidents. It’s almost like a bull in a china shop. However, Leos came out top of the list for being most likely to have the highest value claims. It’s not their fault they always like to go big. Unsurprisingly, strategic and analytical Scorpios are the least likely to claim on their home insurance.

8. The sign most likely to be a child star…

Confident? Charming? Not afraid of the spotlight? Ready for some adventure and excitement? Yes these are all common traits of famous celebrities, but they’re also traits of people born with the Sagittarius zodiac sign. In research conducted by Cartoon Network and reported by Daily Mail in 2009, the zodiac signs of 100 celebrities who became famous when they were children were reviewed and it turns out that those who were Sagittarius were twice as likely to hit the big time than those born under any other sign. For Sagittarians the word “impossible” isn’t in their vocabulary and they aren’t afriad to shoot for the stars (just like the archer in their zodiac symbol!). It’s no wonder the likes of Britney Spears, Jimi Hendrix, Miley Cyrus, and Bruce Lee are all Sagittarians.

9. The sign most likely to hit the gym…

Leos are all about self-worth and feeling good. They want to feel confident and they have endless energy to spare. That’s why it’s no surprise that female Leos are almost twice as likely to hit the gym than any other zodiac sign, according to a survey conducted by Hello Magazine. This is apparently because the key traits of being positive, enthusiastic, and confident make it much easier for them to get up, lace those trainers up, and get down to that 7am bootcamp class. Whilst Sagittarians came out bottom of the list, and are probably more likely to be hitting that snooze button!

10. The sign most likely to be jobless…

Ever thought your zodiac sign would affect your job prospects? In 2011, a hiring manager for a Chinese language training company included in a job advert that candidates who were Virgos or Scorpios need not apply. Unsurprisingly, people were outraged. When questioned, the hiring manager stuck to her guns and stated that she couldn’t consider those two zodiac signs because her experience was that they have a tendency to be “feisty and critical.”. You say feisty and critical, we say bold and analytical.

11. The sign most likely to have a wandering eye…

There are good and bad characteristics with every zodiac sign. Some are more argumentative (Aries, looking at you!) and some can be quite jealous (Ahem, Scorpio!) but according to data from Ashley Madison users, the most common zodiac sign for users who sign up to their website those looking for adulterous relationships is Capricorn. Perhaps it’s because they can be more cynical in their attitude to life, or maybe it’s just their secretive and private nature. Either way, Capricorns, we’ve got our eye on you, even though you probably have your eye on someone else.

11. The sign most likely to rule the world…

Do you have what it takes to be a world leader? Are you bold, honest, and up-front? Can you be intensely serious when the time calls for it? Chances are you could be a Scorpio. Data analysis by Vocativ in 2015 (via Yahoo! News) discovered that more of the world leaders are Scorpios than any other zodiac sign. There are over 11 percent of those heading up cabinets throughout the world that are born under this sign. You rule, Scorpios. Virgos, meanwhile, account for the fewest world leaders of any zodiac sign

12. The sign most likely to make it in Hollywood…

According to a study conducted by EduBirdie in 2022, Geminis make up 13.95% of successful actors in the industry. Haters will say it’s their two-faced nature which makes it so easy for them to pretend to be other people, but I put it down to their super-flexible and adaptable demeanor. Creativity comes easily to Geminis so it’s no wonder the list of famous Gemini actors is long. The list includes stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie, Tom Holland, Laverne Cox and more. You can check out 21 famous Gemini Celebrities to discover more. The zodiac sign least likely to become a Hollywood actor is Aquarius. But we’ve still found 21 famous Aquarius celebrities to inspire you.

13. The most common sign…

If your birthday falls on September 9, you will have to share your birthday cake with a lot of other Virgos I’m afraid. This birthday is the most common birthday of the year, as there is an average of 12,301 people born on this day. In fact, 9 out of 10 of the most popular birthdays are in September. This makes Virgo the most common of all the zodiac signs. Maybe it’s the festive December period nine months prior which makes everyone in the mood to kiss under the mistletoe!

14. The least common sign…

Whilst you might assume that most births are evenly distributed throughout the year, the most common time for people to conceive is around the December festive period (as we’ve seen from all those Virgo babies!). But according to Bustle, the least common zodiac sign is Capricorn. December 25, December 24, and January 1, are the least common birth dates. December 25 actually has half the number of births than the most popular birth date, September 9. People are clearly busy making babies in December instead of birthing them. This only adds to Capricorns charm, and makes them even more unique, I say!

15. Zodiac signs have been used to predict the future…

Swiss astrologer Karl Ernst Krafft was arrested when it was discovered that he had made a prediction about Adolf Hitler that had come true. Using the stars, he predicted that at some point over three days in November 1939, the Nazi leader’s life would be in danger. On the second day, a bomb meant for Hitler exploded in a Munich beer hall where he had just been speaking. He was later hired as Hitlers very own personal astrologer and wen’t on to aid the germans in war tactics through his predictions.
