Have you ever bumped into someone who shares your zodiac sign? If you’re among the more common zodiac signs, this probably happens quite often.
On the flip side, those with the rarest zodiac signs don’t come across others who share their sign very frequently.
Which zodiac sign is considered the rarest?
Based on data from the CDC about birth frequencies, the rarest zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Research compiled by the CDC covering the years 2019 to 2021 reveals that February is the least common month for birthdays. Since Aquarius season spans from January 20 to February 18, there are fewer people born under the Aquarius Sun sign during this period.
Even though Aquarius is the least common zodiac sign, it boasts several famous individuals like Alicia Keys, Paul Newman, Jackie Robinson, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Galileo Galilei, Shakira, Corazon Aquino, Toni Morrison, and Laura Dern, just to name a few.
Rare Aquarius traits
Aquarians have a natural inclination to prioritize others over themselves. Fueled by their genuine compassion, their ultimate aspiration is to make the world a better place. It’s not that they forget about their own needs; rather, they actively choose to prioritize others. Consistently championing the underdogs, they generously share their kindness. Why make assumptions when the world benefits from people being true to themselves?
However, they tend to build walls around themselves, valuing their privacy. If you’re deciding which friend to trust with revealing your crush, an Aquarius can be a reliable confidante. They don’t pry into others’ affairs. The beauty of boundaries lies in not having to explain them, and Aquarians always respect that.
Despite their intellectual nature, Aquarians are easygoing, striking a harmonious balance between emotional availability and self-sufficiency – qualities that align with their reputation as a successful zodiac sign. Apart from being generous with their time, they are mindful of respecting personal space. Perhaps it’s because they also value plenty of “me-time” for their own well-being.
