With International Women’s Day on the horizon, a fresh take on female success has emerged—one that blends entrepreneurship and astrology. By analyzing the zodiac signs of America’s wealthiest self-made women, intriguing patterns have surfaced.
Using data from Forbes' America's Richest Self-Made Women list, we independently compiled birth dates to determine which astrological signs dominate among the nation’s top female entrepreneurs.
Libra Leads the Pack
If success had a zodiac sign, it might just be Libra. With 12 high-earning women born under this air sign, Libra takes the crown as the most common zodiac among America’s top female entrepreneurs. Notable names include media mogul Kim Kardashian, fashion designer Donna Karan, and tennis legend Serena Williams. Known for their diplomacy, charm, and keen business sense, Libras seem to thrive in industries where balance and relationships are key.
Leo and Virgo: A Close Second
Trailing closely behind, Leo and Virgo tie for second place in the success rankings. Both signs boast powerhouse figures who have left their mark on various industries. Virgo, known for its meticulous nature and hard work ethic, counts Beyoncé among its ranks. Meanwhile, Leos—charismatic and bold—feature icons like Madonna and tech billionaire Judy Faulkner of Epic Systems.
Air Signs Dominate the Business World
One of the most striking findings in the analysis is the overwhelming presence of air signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini). Together, they account for 30.14% of the women on the list. Often associated with communication, adaptability, and strategic thinking, these traits could be key factors in their success. Whether in entertainment, fashion, or technology, air signs seem to leverage their versatility to rise to the top.
Entertainment Icons and Their Astrological Clusters
A closer look at the entertainment industry reveals a clustering of star power within certain zodiac signs. Taylor Swift, a Sagittarius, and Rihanna, a Pisces, represent the creative and visionary nature of their respective signs. The presence of multiple entertainment moguls within the same astrological categories raises an interesting question: do certain signs naturally lend themselves to fame and influence?
Tech Titans: A Zodiac Spectrum
Unlike the entertainment industry, tech leaders span a diverse range of zodiac signs. From Aries innovator Jayshree Ullal (CEO of Arista Networks) to Leo’s Judy Faulkner, success in the tech world seems less tied to specific astrological tendencies and more to individual ambition and expertise. This suggests that while natural traits may play a role, industry-specific skills remain the ultimate determining factor.
The Cardinal Sign Edge
Cardinal signs—Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn—comprise 38.36% of the women on the list, reinforcing the idea that these leadership-driven signs are natural trailblazers. Known for their ability to initiate and push forward, cardinal signs exhibit the drive needed to turn ideas into major business empires. Whether it’s Aries’ fearless approach, Libra’s strategic finesse, Capricorn’s disciplined ambition, or Cancer’s intuitive leadership, these signs seem to be in their element when carving out paths to success.
