Confidence can easily get misconstrued for cockiness. It's not about commanding a room with your presence but rather feeling comfortable walking into that room regardless of whether or not you know anyone. Likewise, you don't have to be the most polished public speaker, but it's telling if you can smile through a stumble or hold your head high even if the outcome wasn't what you hoped. This mentality can certainly be learned, but it also may be written in the stars. Keep reading to hear from astrologers about the most confident zodiac signs, from somewhat secure to absolutely assured.

6 | Virgo
ShutterstockAccording to Jill Loftis of Nuit Astrology, analytical Virgos "always have a plan, which gives them the confidence to set bold goals and go after them."
However, their perfectionist tendencies often cause them to be overly critical of both themselves and others because they believe "their way is the right way to do pretty much everything," notes Loftis. Therefore, if you get into a disagreement with a Virgo, don’t expect to change their mind.
5 | Aquarius
ShutterstockBeing intelligent, like Aquarius is, doesn't necessarily mean one is confident, but this free-thinking sign "feels secure in their individuality and strengths," according to Bella Nguen, an astrology columnist at Indielogy Magazine.
"Their innovative thinking patterns and progressive ideas make them believe in themselves," she adds. No matter how far-fetched an idea is, if they have the knowledge to back it up, nothing can break their confidence.

ShutterstockCapricorns have a quiet confidence that always makes them seem poised and powerful, especially in the office. Expect these determined hard workers to show up to the job in a simple yet appropriate outfit and ready to go with a game plan before the clock even strikes 9 a.m.
“Their confidence might be somewhat understated and not flashy, but they have the self-discipline, drive, and skills to get whatever they want," shares Loftis. However, unlike Virgo, she adds that they're "surprisingly nimble... and savvy," so their confidence doesn't falter when things don't go according to plan.

To this point, Loftis adds that they're "usually up for anything at least once," and it's this willingness to try new things that "gives them a strong boost of confidence." They went skydiving with no problems, so what's the worst that can happen when they give their big presentation at work? That's the attitude behind their optimism.
2 | Leo

They absolutely love being in the spotlight, but if they trip and fall in the middle of the dance floor, they're just going to stand up, take a bow, and keep going. To those who don't know them well, this can come off as arrogance, but underneath all that bravado and flashiness, Leos just want to be the ones to show everyone a good time.
1 | Aries
PeopleImages.com - Yuri A/ShutterstockAstrologers agree that fiery Aries is the most confident zodiac sign. As the firstborn of the zodiac, they don't "need the applause that Leo craves or the knowledge that Sagittarius seeks," explains Alice Smith of Alice Smith Astrology. "Aries is straightforward in its belief in itself and its ideas and wholeheartedly believes in its right to exist."
Nguen adds that "their confidence comes from forging their own path." They naturally gravitate towards leadership positions and have no problem breaking from the norm. Don't be surprised if they end up as CEO of a big company.
