It doesn't matter whether they're going through a breakup, moving to a new city, or getting a last-minute text about a change of plans on a Friday night—some zodiac signs just don't blink an eye when life throws a wrench. Curveballs in their way.
Very cool under pressure, these people are the definition of going with the flow. Therefore, of all members of the zodiac, they are the best at coping with change.
According to astrologer Babs Cheung, this characteristic is closely related to the zodiac sign's morphology, which represents how people react to certain situations and how they move through the world. There are fixed signs, mutable signs and cardinal signs, and according to Zhang, mutable signs tend to be the most flexible. "Fixed signs are least suited to change, while Cardinal signs have leadership qualities that may spark or influence change," she tells Bustle.
The ruler of a sign is also involved. "Mercury and Jupiter are planets with more fluidity than structure," she said. "Mercury is inherently fast-moving, allowing people to have a greater awareness of change and be able to adapt to it more quickly, whereas Jupiter has a broad perspective and welcomes change."
Here are the four zodiac signs that are best at handling life's ups and downs, according to astrologers.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
While some signs feel best when they have a predictable schedule, Gemini needs to shake things up and seek out new experiences on a regular basis.
This air sign likes to add a little spice into their lives, whether it's going on an adventure, a change of scenery, or just because they want to quit their job. Since this is the way they do things, they are naturally good at dealing with change, even if it wasn't their idea.
As a sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Geminis know they can talk their way out of trouble. They also sleep well knowing that they can make new connections wherever they go. Zhang said Geminis are also very laid-back, so they rarely panic when life goes wrong. For them, change is seen as an opportunity rather than something to stress or fear.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
According to Zhang, Virgo's motto is "Be prepared so you don't have to be prepared." As a fickle earth sign, their lives are always organized, which means they're able to go with the flow until things calm down.
While they may not want to move to another city at the last minute, they are 100% capable of throwing their lives into a box, renting a new apartment, and devoting themselves to getting there. Virgos are very good at finding their feet, a trait that helps them cope with change.
While Virgos are known to suffer from over-analysis paralysis, Zhang says their preparation ultimately works to their advantage. This sign can see all the different ways a situation can go wrong, so nothing will surprise them.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius responds to change by embracing it, or pushing for change with purpose, Zhang said. Instead of waiting for their partner to end a bad relationship, they send breakup texts first so they can move on with their lives.
As a sign ruled by expansionist Jupiter, Sagittarius is also good at spotting upcoming opportunities, which is why they're ready for changes before they happen.
Because this sign is always open to trying new things, they usually don't feel sad or stressed if their daily routine changes. They see change as an opportunity to start a new chapter in their lives, and it can only be exciting.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
"The term 'let nature take its course' was probably invented by Pisces," Zhang said. As a fickle water sign, it's easy for them to relax, unwind, and accept the changes that are coming. They don't mind at all when plans go wrong and sometimes even enjoy it.
This has a lot to do with Pisces' ability to reframe bad situations through mindfulness. "While people on TikTok may call it delulu, Pisces people know that no matter how big a change is, it will eventually work out," she said.
This is why Pisces people are happy to travel with them. Even if your train is late or your flight is missed, this sign will keep you happy and relaxed. According to Zhang, Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, so they know that changes in plans can often lead to better things for them.
