If you know a Capricorn, you know they have a competitive spirit and are driven by success. Because they have the “hunger to win against an opponent” and tenacity that could “set them up well in a legal career,” Gerdes believes Capricorns make for the best lawyers. “Once they have a goal in mind, they tend to run after it full force,” says Gerdes.

If Virgos are known for anything, it’s being meticulous, organized, and disciplined, and according to Gerdes, it’s traits like these that make Virgos especially strong attorneys. “[Virgos] are known for their intelligence and tend to set a high bar for themselves,” says Gerdes. “They are known as the perfectionists of the zodiac, but this produces incredible results for them.” The astrologer also points out Virgos’ sensitive and caring nature may lead to a “desire to serve” that would “lend itself well to their clients.”

It’s not a coincidence that Libra, whose symbol is the scales of justice, makes an appearance on this list. Ms. Charlotte calls Libra the sign of “diplomacy and fairness,” and their ability to weigh the evidence equally gives them an advantage over the rest. “The duality of their natures makes them experts at debate; they can argue for either side,” says the astrologer.

Intuition is a quality that Scorpios have in spades. Ms. Charlotte shares that if you have a Scorpio for a lawyer, you can expect them to harness this trait by reading between the lines and catching people in their lies. Plus, she posits that a Scorpio’s willingness to get their hands dirty and defend vulnerable people makes them a formidable opponent in court.
