An astrologer named Eleanor says five zodiac signs tend to gain motivation and achieve success when other people doubt them. In comments reported by YourTango, she said that being underestimated does not hold these signs back, but instead pushes them to prove their critics wrong. Once they sense opposition, she explained, they redirect their anger and form a clear picture of the person they refuse to become again.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, which Eleanor said keeps the sign looking past present circumstances for another option. When one path closes, Sagittarius begins considering what else is available. She noted that this can make past failures look different in hindsight, and that an event which once seemed like bad luck can become the reason life improves. Rejection works as redirection for Sagittarius, which pursues new opportunities and relationships rather than stopping.
Eleanor described Capricorn as dangerous to underestimate because the sign does not need to win right away. Others may hold more money, a better position or more connections, she said, and Capricorn will not panic. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, Capricorn is accustomed to playing a long game and is not easily brought down by a setback or a judgment. The sign may let others believe they have won while quietly planning its next move, which is why it tends to end up on top.
Aquarius is also used to being underestimated, according to the astrologer, and does not let doubt affect its confidence. Eleanor said the sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn, often recognizes the value of something before everyone else does, and may spend a couple of years working on a goal before others take it seriously. Aquarius is described as a trend-setter whose confidence is unaffected by other people's doubts.
Scorpio, traditionally ruled by Mars, may react to embarrassment, cheating or being made to feel lesser with silent motivation, Eleanor said. Quiet in the moment is not weakness, according to the astrologer. Scorpio does not retreat to nurse wounds but methodically corrects course so it can return stronger. Eleanor said anger becomes productive for Scorpio once it is no longer aimed at the person who caused it, and is instead used to move forward toward success.
Aries is similarly described as unwilling to be told what it can or cannot do. Eleanor said Mars-ruled people can convert anger into a great deal of energy. She described a pattern in which Aries may put something off for months, doubting whether it is ready, until one person says it cannot do it and the sign suddenly has enough motivation to begin the next day. The astrologer said Aries thrives on being underestimated, and that doubt only speeds its success.
