6 | Libra
fizkes/ShutterstockLibra is diplomatic and charming, which makes them great leaders. Jill Loftis, an astrologer and founder at Nuit Astrology, explains that they gain a lot of their self-worth by stepping up to the plate and doing things for others. They’ll usually be the first to volunteer their time and energy, and if a Libra is in charge, you know whatever they plan will be top tier.
These air signs constantly feel responsible for the well-being of those around them. “They are skilled at finding common ground and creating balance in any situation, which makes them a valuable asset in any setting,” says Rachel Clare, a professional astrologist at Mystic Sense.

5 | Sagittarius
NinaTavaresPhotos/ShutterstockSagittarius might not be the first sign you think of when it comes to being responsible, but these folks always fulfill their commitments. They feel naturally obligated to spread wisdom and are enthusiastic about any new opportunities that come their way.
“Symbolized by the pioneering Archer, Sagittarius are known for their honesty, integrity, and sense of justice,” Clare says.
Thanks to their unyielding passion, these fire signs never back down, and aren’t afraid to speak their mind or stand up for what they believe in—even if they’re standing alone. “They value personal freedom and individuality, but they also understand the importance of responsibility and accountability,” Clare adds.
4 | Pisces
ESB Professional/ShutterstockEven though Pisces take any chance they can get to escape reality, they are pretty responsible people who won’t leave you in the dust. As a water sign, they have a heightened emotional intelligence and are intuitive and receptive to what people need.
Neptune is their ruling planet, which is associated with creativity and spirituality, so Pisces' imagination and desire to create a better world is quite strong. “They can often handle unexpected situations with grace and ease,” Clare says
All of these aspects combined make Pisces ready to take on what comes their way with little to no difficulty.
3 | Taurus
GaudiLab/ShutterstockTaurus are very grounded and they’ll do whatever it takes to ensure stability for themselves and their future generations. If they’re responsible for something, they’re going to dedicate the needed time and energy it takes to get their desired result.
“They’re one of the most loyal signs of the zodiac, so if they tell you they are going to do something they’re going to do it,” Loftis says. Clare adds that they are a fixed sign and they’re known for their patience and perseverance.
Earth signs have a special knack for practicality and Taurus is no exception. You can totally trust a Taurus to keep things under control.
2 | Virgo
Dmytro Zinkevych/ShutterstockIf there’s an opportunity to help someone, you can almost always guarantee that Virgo will be up for the task. They are the sign of service and they feel duty-bound almost to the point of self-sacrifice, Loftis tells Best Life.
As another earth sign, Virgos are incredibly practical. Logic is usually at the forefront of their decision making and it's clear that they're always looking for the best possible solution. “They don’t want to cut corners either; they will go the extra mile, especially if they are the ones responsible for the outcome,” Loftis says.
You don’t need to have any doubts when you leave a Virgo in charge because these folks will give everything they have and then some.

1 | Capricorn
Sarawut Kh/ShutterstockIt can’t be all that shocking to see Capricorn (the final earth sign) as the most responsible zodiac sign. Unlike Pisces, these people are deeply rooted in reality and they’re hyper-focused on the results of their hard work.
Clare explains that their ruling planet Saturn is responsible for Capricorn's need for structure, regularity, and stability. They love being in charge of projects and their level of dedication is unmatched. Capricorns will have a plan for anything at the drop of a hat.
“Overall, Capricorns are highly responsible and reliable individuals, valued as both employees and friends,” Clare says.
