Creativity Overload: These are the Artists of the Zodiac

Being creative is a mode of thinking, a way of living life, something that comes naturally to us. Some of us have a more creative outlook than others and not just because their zodiac sign says they have. Creativity, whether through art, music, or writing needs to be nurtured, and this doesn’t always make for an easy path.

Which zodiac signs possess the ability to ‘think outside the box’? Which signs thrive on the romance of poetry or the imagery generated in literature? Who sees what really lurks in a painting or a sketch? Who hears the sweet undertones of music?

No matter which star sign you were born under, everyone has a certain level of creativity, but these signs have shown to be more in tune, and able to tap into and express their creative sides.

Taurus

People born under this sign have boundless energy, both physically and emotionally, the best state for a creative outlook. They can create anything – a beautiful painting, a meaningful story, or a beautiful home interior. And yet, by their very nature, Taureans are cautious and practical people, not exactly the traits you would associate with creative people. But there’s something about their character that makes them perfect creators – their belief in romance. Taureans are romantic souls who are able to connect with their creative side and create things that are beautiful, and that others enjoy. Just listen to the stunning voice and soul-touching lyrics of Adele, born under the Taurus sign, for example, or the haunting melodies of a fellow Taurus-born pop star, Sam Smith.

Leo

Those born under this sign are born leaders, with a restlessness that could cause them problems if not controlled and harnessed. And when this happens, stand back because the creativity simply flows from them. Creative in so many different ways, no matter what activities, adventures, and endeavors Leos turn their mind and creative talents too, they will most likely succeed. Bringing brighter and more creative ideas to the table, Leo is considered one of the most creative zodiac signs out there. Famous creative Leos include Barack Obama, a president who accomplished many great things, alongside actors such as Jennifer Lawrence, Daniel Radcliffe, and one of the greatest music artists of all time, Whitney Houston.

Virgo

Their quest for perfection is the driving force behind this star sign, but this doesn’t affect their creativity. Virgos enjoy art, literature, and writing. Their ability to analyze the smallest details means that writing is the creative outlet that attracts many Virgos. They understand that the small details such as a well-placed comma, the use of semicolons and so on – are the things that create something extraordinary. They want their creative products to inspire others. It is no wonder therefore that some of the most famous Virgos are authors. Just look at the children’s author Roald Dahl, not just his words but his iconic illustrations too, or the horror and detail of Stephen King and John Greene who created the tear-jerking ‘The Fault in Our Stars’.

Capricorn

Capricorns are ambitious and determined people who tend to work hard to achieve their goals and succeed in their lives. They’re incredibly creative and although there are many creative outlets, it seems that music is the ultimate creative outlet for many Capricorns. The enigmatic David Bowie, the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley who pushed so many boundaries and the bright lyrics of Dolly Parton all show how the love of music is important to Capricorns. However, you can also find Capricorns lost in painting, taking beautiful photos, or creating other masterpieces with their own two hands and vivid imagination.

Pisces

Super creatives, Pisceans usually possess unique artistic talents. Deeply connected to music, there are many Pisceans in the art world too. They’re talented for singing, dancing, painting, and drawing, to mention just a few. They’re dreamers who are constantly thinking of how they can make the mundane more attractive. Their artistic and creative outlets are the only way that they can make sense of the world in which they live in. Their super-creative thinking works well in all kinds of industries, from the world of business to entertainment. For example, Steve Jobs is born under the sign of Pisces, and he is surely one of the most creative and successful business people. Superstar Rihanna and enigmatic author and illustrator Dr. Seuss are also two of most famous Pisceans.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that those born under other star signs lack creativity. It may not come as natural or as comfortably as these five signs, but we all have threads of creativity that run through us.
