Finding Confidence Based On Your Star Sign

Think about the people that you admire, or love the most. They’re likely kind and supportive, always there for you, and exhibit traits that you find inspirational. One such trait may be their confidence - their ability to light up a room whenever they go, have people hang on their every word, or motivate them to achieve the impossible. Having confidence is a wonderful thing - it can take you places you never thought you’d end up, due to a good understanding of your abilities, believing in yourself and the drive to achieve. Combined with a positive attitude, confidence can truly be the difference between a happy life, and one where you feel you’re missing out on life’s adventures. As this personality trait doesn’t come easily to every star sign, and we here at Psychic Sofa want everyone to live their best life, we thought it would be a great idea to help each Zodiac sign find the confidence they may be lacking, with advice and guidance from the spirits above. And should you be in need of more spiritual guidance, then our telephone psychic readers would be only too happy to help.

What Is Confidence? - Ambitious, Leadership & Personality

Confidence is having the belief in yourself to go about life with courage, conviction and the capabilities to meet life’s challenges head on. It’s the willingness to go after what you want in life, to have the understanding that you can succeed, and not let fear hold you back from achieving your dreams. Projecting confidence helps you appear authentic and credible - especially when you can back this up with achievements, talent and skill set. This personality tends to make good first impressions too, knows how to deal with pressure, and can handle personal and professional issues by thinking logically and with a coherent solution. Putting others at ease, people gravitate towards those who they feel they can trust, due to their own faith in their abilities.

Confidence is not a fixed state - those who may currently have low self-confidence can most certainly improve their self-esteem, and those with a good sense of self, may at times feel out of their comfort zone. However, there are lots of simple exercises that everyone can do to boost their confidence, and these include:

Planning & Preparation: People tend to feel less confident when it comes to new or tough situations. Therefore, preparing for them beforehand is key. For example, if you find interviews difficult, always plan answers to questions they may ask, research into the company and consider alternative routes to travel should unexpected traffic, or public transport let you down. If certain clothing has boosted your confidence in the past too - so long as it’s suitable - consider wearing this to the interview as well.

Learning and research - The way to get better at a skill or talent is to practice, learn from mistakes and keep going until you’re an expert. For example, new parents may feel nervous about having a baby and how to raise it correctly. But they will likely spend time reading lots of baby books, look into reputable advice websites and even speak to parents they know to gain insight and understanding.

Positive thinking - If you believe that you can reach a goal, or handle that tough situation, then the more likely you are to ensure that you do. However, if you don’t believe in yourself, or the thought of completing a task is overwhelming, then you’re more likely to approach it without conviction, setting yourself up for failure. With positive thinking, support, research and by being prepared, you can achieve anything - you just need to have the right attitude at the start to get yourself going. 

Regardless of your star sign, you can find success, and in the next section, we show you how. 

Finding Confidence Based On Your Star Sign

From being a bold and brave Leo to a more careful and considerate Virgo, each star sign varies in terms of their confidence levels. Sometimes, you just need to play into your Zodiac’s strengths to feel your most confident - you just need to know which strengths you possess to use this to your advantage. All 12 signs are strong forces to be reckoned with, they just all benefit from different techniques to hone their skills. For example, a naturally self-assured Aries wouldn’t share the same approach as a regimented Capricorn, and a quiet Pisces may not find a chatty Gemini’s advice particularly useful when it comes to speaking out more. What follows are simple tips to help you feel more confident, to help you in all aspects of your life - from suggesting new ideas at work, trying a new hobby and telling that special someone how you feel, through to making big changes in your life that ultimately help you achieve your dreams.

Aries - March 21st - April 19th

Aries can often be branded as overly confident, and at times arrogant if they don’t show interest in other people’s opinions. The trick here is to try to lessen your excitement and inherent need to show off, and channel this energy into creative outlets and physical exercise. Overconfidence can truly put people off, so by doing something more physical than mental before debating (for example), you can focus your thoughts better, helping you to make a coherent point when the time comes. This will only boost the respect people have for you, encouraging them to see your side more often.

Taurus - April 20th - May 20th

Not one to make a move without considering all outcomes and eventualities first, this star sign can be overwhelmed by threats to their ego. They’d rather take their time and have a clear plan than go head first like the Aries ram. So when it comes to deadlines (for example), you must learn to speak up if it doesn’t work for you. Show your plan to your manager and how much time you’ll actually need to garner the best results, and with your good logic and intent, you’ll never put a foot wrong. No-one can ever doubt your brilliance and care, Taurus, but you’ve got to show respect for what’s expected of you. 

Gemini - May 21st - June 20th

You love to talk, and we understand it can be quite disheartening when you’re trying to make conversation, and others don’t seem all that bothered. Well then, simply talk more. By leading the conversation with interesting topics, unusual facts and food for thought, you’ll feel more at ease, and even help set the tone for the ensuing conversation. Some people are introverts. Others just don’t know what to say. Your talkative skills are a blessing, and will take you far in life. Own them.

Cancer - June 21st - July 22nd

Family is everything to the Cancer star sign, so when you’re in need of a confidence boost, give your favourite relative a ring. They’ve likely known you for years, can remind you of how lovely and special you are, and how you can overcome any anxieties or concerns due to your innate ability to survive. Together, you can even plan how you’re going to reach that next step in life, and research into ways to make it happen. Your relatives didn’t become the successes they are all by themselves, and therefore, neither do you. Lean on your support system when you need them, because they’ll always be there for you.

Leo - July 23rd - August 22nd

A lion knows how to look good, and this shows through their sense of style, pose and walk. Always seen strutting with sheer determination to their destination, they just evoke confidence from the outset. And how do they reach this powerful state? They sing their favourite songs in the morning before they leave for work. They repeat mantras and affirmations that make them feel strong. And they tell themselves that no matter what happens, they can face each day with a positive attitude that helps them to reset, find balance and keep going, as all good lions do. 

Virgo - August 23rd - September 22nd

Boosting Virgo confidence can be tough when they feel they need to be in control. Virgos love to have a handle on everything, or else become daunted by the thought of what may be. To help with this, consider what may be, and write out plans of how you’ll handle each and every situation that could come your way. These to-do lists will help reinforce in your mind that you have a plan and can adapt depending on whatever happens - good or bad. Regaining a sense of control, you can feel confident pursuing anything you set your mind to, because by planning ahead, you’re ahead of the game.

Libra - September 23rd - October 22nd

Libras love to make a good first impression, and it's on this that their confidence can shine. Beyond preparing fun topics of conversation, researching your audience and thinking up nice compliments you can give to them, you know that a killer outfit is required to make a statement. Whether you opt for your favourite ensemble, want to try that new outfit or feel it’s time to leave your comfort zone, the power you’ll gain from feeling fabulous will be unmatched. You’re already witty and charming, Libra, and your appearance can help boost your confidence further.

Scorpio - October 23rd - November 21st

When left to mull over their thoughts, a Scorpio can start questioning their capabilities, and this leads them down a serious spiral that can frighten them to their core. Changing your mindset is key here, as is focusing on the positives that can happen. To get into this mindset, ask a friend to send you a joke, read a funny story online, or remember that time you did something embarrassing but it all worked out in the end. Pausing to smile won’t just distract you from the incoming task, but will be a great stress reliever too. Nothing is ever as bad as it’s built up in your head, and you are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for. 

Sagittarius - November 22nd - December 21st

When the archer starts to doubt themselves, it means it’s time for an adventure. The studious Sagittarius can only learn so much from books and journals, but to really hone their skills, they need to go out into the world and test them for themselves. Perhaps you’ve been lacking drive recently, or have been questioning your creative tendencies. Going somewhere new and revitalising your passions can do wonders for your motivation, and inspire new ideas and ways of thinking that result in greater success. After your adventures, you’ll feel so refreshed and ready with new wisdom that you’ll want to share it with anyone and everyone. That’s how you’ll boost your confidence, and feel far better about yourself too.

Capricorn - December 22nd - January 19th

When a Capricorn is stressed, they can feel their confidence knocked as they feel they should be able to handle anything that comes their way. And though they can handle a lot of pressure, their workhorse mentality can drive them to exhaustion - especially when they are the star sign who finds it hard to say no to additional tasks and duties. To regain confidence, a good work-life balance is required, with a focus on eating healthy, getting eight hours of sleep, and ensuring that you make time for the hobbies, and people in your life, that make you happy. These are the people who make work worth it, and ultimately, will remind you of how wonderful you truly are. And without good sleep and nutritious food, you’ll find your standards slipping, and work won’t be as enjoyable or as worthwhile as previously felt.

Aquarius - January 20th - February 18th

Because your mind is always going a hundred miles per hour, and you always want to get your point across effectively, you can worry if you’re coming across in the right way, and showcasing your knowledge effectively. This is especially true when it comes to big work presentations, when client relationships and stakeholder belief is of the utmost importance. Planning is everything here. Jot down all key points beforehand, make them relevant and ensure you practice how to say them effectively. That way, your presentations will flow better, you’ll feel confidence rising as you take your audience through them, and they’ll see you for the vastly talented individual that you are.

Pisces - February 19th - March 20th

When times are tough and your confidence is shaken, then it’s time to find some solitude and escape from the daily stressors that only hinder your self-esteem. Nothing grounds you more than some much-needed alone time - especially when this involves walking, hiking or just getting back to nature. Doing this will put everything into perspective, remind you that there is a world beyond your problems, and that you can get through this with some self-belief and determination. If you learn to go with the flow when life knocks you down, then your repeated adaptability will make you strong, and give you the confidence you need to face the world. It’s a learning experience, and one which will get easier over time.

Confidence can be a wonderful thing, because it’s the gateway to your dreams, goals and success.
