In today’s world, the word “influential” is associated with very specific types of people.
Nowadays, when we think of someone “influential,” we often picture social media stars promoting products or political leaders shaping laws. These people have a certain power—they can shift others’ thoughts or desires. Interestingly, astrology may play a role in this ability. Below, astrologers share insights into the six most influential zodiac signs, ranked from moderately persuasive to incredibly commanding.
6. Virgo
Virgos may not always have the most original ideas, but they have a talent for making others believe they do—often without even realizing it.
“Virgos stand firmly behind their actions and words. They don’t apologize because they’re confident in their correctness,” astrologer and spiritual coach at Mediumchat. “They think before they speak or act, and usually have research or data ready to back up what they say.”
5. Pisces
Pisces influences others in subtle and emotional ways.
“They have a strong sense for the mood in any setting and deeply connect with people,” explains astrologer and author Lisa Barretta. “Their emotional insight draws in many who are looking for inspiration. Pisces also has a knack for turning dreams into reality—and sometimes the other way around—based on what benefits them.”
4. Libra
“Libras are natural peacemakers,”. “They’re skilled at finding common ground, even in divided groups.”
This talent makes Libras particularly effective in politics or law. “Their charm and ability to reflect others’ energy make them incredibly persuasive,” Bennet adds.

2. Aries
“Aries are true powerhouses,” Bennet explains. “They’re driven, bold, and often take the lead without hesitation.”
These natural-born leaders are never shy to start something new. “They take initiative and command attention,” adds Barretta. Whether admired or feared, Aries usually end up in positions of influence—both online and offline.
1. Leo
Leos are naturally drawn to the spotlight. They love being the center of attention and aren’t afraid to let their personality shine.
“Leo practically defines the word ‘influential. “Their styl and magnetic personality make others want to be part of their inner circle.”
