3 | Scorpio

They may be quiet and keep their thoughts to themselves but you should never mistake those traits for failure. “Scorpios are the zodiac's power sign, and as such, they possess a strong will and a concentrated mind together with a natural air of mystery and ambition that frequently results in tremendous success,” Newman says.
These water signs achieve things in the traditional sense and will always stick to the things they know work best. They have an unwavering work ethic that can’t be matched as well as high emotional intelligence that can help them astutely understand the words and actions of others.
2 | Aries
BalanceFormCreative/ShutterstockAries are dynamic, confident, and known to be the trailblazers of the zodiac. Ruled by Mars, the planet of action and assertiveness, they’re often rightfully associated with success. This gives them the courage and energy to take on challenges and brush off criticism, Clare says.
As a fire sign, Aries is also bold and uses that to their advantage. “They are not afraid to take risks and aren't satisfied unless they are making strides in whatever it is they choose to do,” she says.
