All 12 signs of the zodiac have their own unique traits, strengths, and weaknesses. Some are more easygoing and laid back, for instance, while others tend to be more stressed.

Of course, someone's sign is never a guarantee that they'll be stressed versus chill, but the following three signs do have a reputation for being a bit tense.

And P.S. This would apply to anyone who has any of the following as their sun, moon, and/or rising sign.

1.

Gemini

The most stressed out sign of the zodiac is none other than Gemini, and is anyone really surprised? Just watch the way they flit around a room, unable to sit still; That's but a mere outward manifestation of what's going on inside their heads at all times.

Gemini is not only an air sign (in other words, all over the place), but they're also ruled by Mercury, the fast-moving planet of communication and information. That said, Geminis can feel like they have a thousand tabs open in their brain at once, and often get themselves worked up just from being in their head.

2.

Virgo

The second most stressed out sign is Virgo, the other planet ruled by Mercury, along with Gemini. It would seem Mercury's influence on these two signs does, indeed, make them more prone to stress. But can you blame them? They say ignorance is bliss, and Virgo is definitely not ignorant.

Mercury's mental prowess blesses Virgo with a brilliant, analytical, and discerning mind. This can be a strength, but it also lends itself to perfectionism and constantly striving for betterment. Virgos stress themselves (and others) out by raising the bar impossibly high to achieve some fantastical ideal.

3.

Aries

And finally, we have Aries coming in as the third most stressed out sign. As the first sign of the astrological year, Aries' temperament can be likened to a young child; energetic and adventurous, but also reckless and impatient. And if you've ever been around an impatient Aries, you know their temper can flare without much warning.

Where Gemini is stressed out mentally and Virgo is stressed out by perfectionism, Aries gets stressed out when things don't move at the speed they're hoping for. At that point, prepare for a temper tantrum to ensue.

The takeaway

It's worth noting that every sign has the capacity to get stressed—and every sign also has the capacity to cope with stressors. Nevertheless, in terms of which zodiac signs are most likely to feel tense on the regular, stress is no stranger to Gemini, Virgo, and Aries.
