Free your mind.

A spiritual person is someone whose main goal in life is to be kind and loving, not only to themselves but to others. They care deeply about the earth and all of its residents. A spiritual person recognizes that we are all One, and they respect the Oneness.
There’s a connection between spirituality and astrology. Though your horoscope may not indicate it, all zodiac signs have some kind of spirituality, even if they have a disbelief or skepticism of traditional religion or philosophies.
Everybody believes something, even when they label themselves agnostic or an unbeliever. But once we identify the most spiritual zodiac signs, we can have a better understanding of what people lean toward.
Spiritual people don’t look at life as if it’s a battle that must be won, but as a series challenges and growth opportunities.
And these are the most spiritually zodiac signs, ranked from most to least.
1. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians seem to have a mission to go out into the world, make significant contributions, and get know new people. Some of the more spiritual traits of a Sagittarius individual are idealism, faith, and honesty.
They enjoy studying and discussing all different kinds of philosophy. While they enjoy change and newness, this doesn't make them shallow because they tend to go deep, where others may be content with surface answers.
Spirituality is a strong component of the Sagittarian personality.
2. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
On the outside, Scorpios come off as fiery and passionate, which hides their extremely sensitive and spiritual soul. While they enjoy their solitude at times, they know they're never alone and are part of something bigger than themselves.
Scorpios tend to trust their own intuition and act on it, rather than second-guessing themselves all the time. Scorpios are able to express how they feel without fear because of their own self-awareness and confidence.
3. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are the creative dreamers of the Zodiac, and make a point to play and dream every single day. Pisces are finely tuned to the details of life that others sometimes miss such as colors, the way leaves fall, or how it smells after the rain.
Pisces tend to be one with the universe and have no time for the superficial trappings of a materialistic world. It doesn't matter what someone does for a living or how much money they have, Pisces will always try to relate to them on a deeper level.
4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are the kind of people who are always falling in love all over again with their partners, friends, work, and joys. They definitely will choose love over conflict.
They may be dreamers and in touch with their spiritual side, but they are practical and know they must take as good of care of themselves as they do of other people.
Cancers tend to do things from a foundation of kindness, and to do something deliberately hurtful to someone else hurts them even more.
5. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians are free-thinkers and know that a part of them has been touched by something unworldly — something they can't see or touch, but helps to guide them. They're very interested in the metaphysical but in a practical sense.
They swing back and forth between questioning everything and just believing; however, when they suddenly get the answer from an unexpected source, they accept it.
Aquarians are very open to new thoughts and practices, and are very willing to try new ways of thinking.
6. Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Most Leos have a very strong spiritual power — they are kind without insisting they get something in return. They are optimistic and believe at their core that people are good and want to do the right thing.
Leos don't indulge fear; they know if they indulge it, they will not grow. They have an innate need to contribute and make things better.
Primarily, Leos are generous in all things, but especially of themselves and their time.
7. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis have excellent intentions, and while some of those intentions may not come to fruition, they are still grateful. They tend to look at the brighter side of life; even if something negative happens, they work to see what they learned from it.
They love to hear about what other people believe but still will come to their own conclusions. Geminis try not to apologize for who they are because they are always striving to be better and kinder.
Geminis need to feel as if they've made the world a better place, even if the change they made was tiny.
8. Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are very in touch with their spiritual side and tend to explore many different ideas, philosophies, and religions. In fact, it's hard for them to commit to any one way of thinking or believing.
Libras are very open to everything. They may go to church but that wouldn't stop them from also exploring other religions or abstract thought.
Libras don't love being told what to do or being forced to think in just one way; they like choice, and would never want to discontent an idea or a concept that could help them down the line.
9. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos feel more comfortable when things have an explanation behind them. However, they are tremendous scholars and love learning about philosophy, religion, and various spiritual practices.
If they found themselves in a commune or ashram, they'd focus first on making life better for the community rather than pondering mysteries that they can't solve. Virgos have one foot firmly in the here and now — and the other on the more metaphysical side.
10. Aries (March 21 - April 19)
An Aries might be somewhat of a smartass when it comes to something ethereal, but that doesn't mean they don't have any spirituality. Spirituality for an Aries often is very tangible, and they practice it through meditation and yoga.
Aries are very energetic and have to do what they can to center themselves. They're most likely to ponder the mysteries of the world while they're hiking or climbing. They see evidence of the mysteries of life when they're in nature and exploring their own boundaries.
11. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
There are times when Capricorns would prefer not to focus on the spiritual side of their personalities. They like being able to see and touch things rather than having faith that they exist.
However, they are very wise and know there are some things are unexplainable, but still enter into the equation of life.
Capricorns may tread lightly while exploring topics that are more metaphysical than concrete, but they still have a curiosity about higher concepts and advanced philosophies.
12. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
While Taureans are very practical and down-to-earth, that's not to say they don't have a spiritual side to them. They practice kindness with others and themselves and will help anyone in need.
Taurus is persistent and will carry on even when it appears the odds are against them. They make their decisions carefully — not out of fear, but out of thought.
They tend to consider the repercussions of their actions, and only then will they go forward. Whatever kind of spirituality they subscribe to, they take it very seriously.
