These Are The 3 Most Stubborn Zodiac Signs

Since the symbol for Taurus is the bull — one of the most stubborn, steadfast animals — it makes sense why they're often one of the more stubborn signs. "Taurus is persistent and determined," Lang says. "They often need to come to decisions on their own; not be pushed by others. They proceed with decisions cautiously, often making sure everything is going to be stable/secure before they make a commitment."

And all of that is great, when used in a positive way. It's only if Taurus' stubborn nature begins holding them back that they may want to make a change. As Lang says, "This tendency can be a blessing, a true gift of the Taurus personalty, because they will not give up on a relationship or job when times are tough. However, Taurus would benefit from learning to let go when something isn’t working in their life."

To do so, they can practice tuning "into their body’s guidance system — their gut intuition — to pick up on clues that it’s time to give in or let go," Lang says. "Tension in the neck or a tight throat can be such indicators for Taurus," so be on the lookout for these issues.

There are ways to find balance, though, if Taurus is feeling stuck. "In the case of a disagreements, stubbornness can close down the communication channels," Lang says. "In those instances, as well as others, Taurus would benefit from seeing things through a different perspective rather than remaining set."

Leo is a highly passionate sign, and one that likes to stick to their decisions. But they're also a fixed sign, which can make them seem very stubborn when it comes to making changes in life — even if those changes are positive ones.

"They could drag their feet in making a move, leaving an unhealthy relationship, or even changing up a routine," Lang says. "For this reason, Leo can make a committed partner. However, their stubborn tendencies can keep them feeling stuck from time to time."

It is possible, however, for Leo to make adopt a more balanced outlook, if their stubbornness is holding them back. "The key to balancing out their stubbornness is actually to consciously try new things, experiment with different creative outlets, and break free from routines," Lang says.

In doing so, Leo will open themselves up to so many more opportunities, and "the freer they feel to express themselves and have fun, the less stubborn they will be."

As a fixed sign, when a Scorpio makes up their mind, they tend to stick to it. "They can feel very dedicated to their thoughts, opinions, and ideas," Lang says. "This is great when Scorpio is committed to achieving a goal. They are determined." And nothing can stand in their way.

"However, when Scorpio is in an unhealthy situation, like a dysfunctional relationship or an unsatisfying job, their stubbornness might keep them stuck in a compromised situation," Lang says, which is why it's important for Scorpio to realize when it's time to back down.

To do so, it's often helpful for them to do some soul searching, possibly with a friend, partner, or therapist. "For Scorpio to achieve balance, they need to get to the bottom of things, through therapy or any technique that helps them understand the reasons why they’re so stubborn," Lang says.

Usually, they find their stubbornness stems from a desire for control and a fear of change, Lang says. But once they understand that motivation, they can easily let go of it and flow with life.

As Lang says, "Often those reasons are buried in the subconscious mind. Letting go of the past is important for Scorpio." Which, of course, is something any zodiac sign can do, if they feel like they're stuck in life.

Anyone can have a bit of a stubborn streak at times. But by being aware of it, it can become possible to let go, be more open-minded, and move in a positive direction.
