"You know the gals who live in a constant state of near-squalor yet somehow still manage to be successful, kind, and ambitious? Girls who thrive in disorder have always been a mystery to me, but I also love them. Personally, I’m so calculated that I often try to plan chaos, like making a career change—but for some people, being thrown into the unexpected every single day is a way of life. Chaos can show up as a wild day where nothing goes right, a moment of grief or loss, a vacation that went wrong, or as a constant in the job search process. If you can take the constant turmoil of life in stride and adapt quickly, not only are you probably a super-cool person, but you also possess a strength that I envy.

Our zodiac signs can often be the telltale sign of whether or not we’ll thrive in the unexpected—after all, some zodiac signs are more chaotic than others. For some signs, it can be a calling to rebuild or restart. If you like it when chaos jumpstarts your life every once in a while, read on to find out whether you’re one of those enviable cool-and-chaotic girls.
Taurus
Tauruses are reliable and loyal—but they can also be one of the most chaotic zodiac signs. In romantic relationships and friendships, they tend to be a stable partner but can also be stubborn because they insist on maintaining that stability. Tauruses also tend to move slowly through experiences, luxuriating in moments both big and small, and not ever feeling rushed through life.
Why Tauruses thrive in chaos
Because of their stability, Tauruses stay calm and collected when chaos arrives in their life or the life of a friend or partner. When they tap into their inner calm in the face of chaos, Tauruses can fully take in the approaching chaos and attempt to understand it from all angles. While the situation might be out of their control, Tauruses know that this does not define who they are as a person. They’ll quickly take concrete steps to move through the chaos and back to the stability they crave.
How to approach chaos as a Taurus
The very nature of Tauruses is opposite to chaotic energy. It might be tempting for Taurus signs to end the chaos as soon as possible, just to get back to stability more quickly. For example, if there’s a leadership change at their work, they might be tempted to leave the job altogether rather than stay in the chaos. Instead, Tauruses might be better off embracing the chaos for a little longer. This might even lead to them enjoying the experience of going through unpredictable times, realizing it’s just another way to learn something new.
Leo
Leos are often seen as great leaders who know how to take center stage, both figuratively and literally. But not all Leo signs are obsessed with the standard definition of being in the spotlight. Some Leos express themselves through their creative interests, where their voice shines bright, or in their honest and direct communication with friends and partners during challenging times.
Why Leos thrive in chaos
Leos can sometimes create chaos in their own lives, whether intentionally or unintentionally. As fire signs, they thrive in the unpredictable. They understand that chaos is often an agent of growth and approach it bravely and intentionally. It’s often helpful to have a Leo on hand when life gets wild. If you’re in a chaotic situation with a Leo, you’re going to hear exactly what’s on their mind, but they’ll likely also lead the way to a solution.
How to approach chaos as a Leo
Sometimes, Leos can get so caught up in their own chaos that they don’t realize they’re bringing their friends and family along for the ride. Even though Leos are chaotic zodiac signs themselves, it’s important for them to step outside of the chaos for a moment and consider all of the people involved. Once Leos take a step back, they will be able to see where their chaos ends and someone else’s begins.
Scorpio
As water signs, Scorpios are constantly transforming their emotional lives, seeking out wisdom with every experience. In relationships, they often come off as mysterious because there’s always something going on underneath the surface of their calm exterior. In their careers, Scorpios tend to constantly analyze their next move. Because of this constant internal monologue, Scorpios often need plenty of alone time to process change.
Why Scorpios thrive in chaos
To a Scorpio, chaos is just another way to dig even deeper into their own well of knowledge. They see chaos and transformation as a welcome challenge. Sometimes, a Scorpio might purposely create chaos, just to experience a change in their lives. Scorpios are also incredibly resilient and patient, even though they are chaotic zodiac signs. When faced with adversity, they move through it slowly and methodically, taking their time to process their emotions and take action when they’re sure of the outcome.
How to approach chaos as a Scorpio
Even though Scorpios thrive in chaos, they can often do so alone because it feels easier than sharing their true feelings. While Scorpios have a hard time opening up, it can help to find a trusted friend to talk through the chaos they’re experiencing. Since Scorpios are often in their heads, talking out a chaotic relationship, job, or situation can help clarify the points that confuse them the most. With a combination of alone time and leaning on a friend, Scorpios will be unstoppable.
