Are you a night owl or a morning bird? Do you live for the time of day when the sun goes down and the sky turns beautiful shades of periwinkle and lilac, the stars come out like hidden diamonds to show the rising moon? Some zodiacs are more drawn to the darkness and solitude of the night than others. They like to sleep, they spend the whole day waiting for the sunset. These stars feel free and more productive at night, preferring to do their favorite activities under the cover of darkness. Here are the four star signs with night souls, based on their astrological signs.
Cancer: Child of the Moon
All zodiac signs are ruled by a certain celestial body, and Cancer is ruled by the moon. The moon represents emotions and divine feminine energy. The moon also hides most of itself most of the time, only revealing its full glory once or twice a month at full moon. Like the moon, Cancers enjoy darkness. They are very private people, preferring to hide most of themselves from others. Although sensitive and empathetic, they only reveal their innermost feelings and true selves to their loved ones.
As the sign of the crab, a creature that takes its home wherever it goes, Cancers are also proud of their habitat. They long for the time of the night, when they can be in their favorite place: their house, in bed or on the sofa, surrounded only by the person or people close to them. Moon children are night owls by nature, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
Scorpio: Ruler of Darkness
Scorpio may be the darkest sign of all. This zodiac is ruled by Pluto, the planet of death and transformation. Pluto’s influence gives Scorpios a sense of humor. They enjoy the night and are even attracted to dark colors in their wardrobe.
Scorpios understand that without darkness, there can be no light. Like the phoenix, they know that there must be periods of dormancy – or even death – for growth and change to occur. They have the amazing gift of being able to see light in darkness, beauty in evil, and the best hidden sides of people. Scorpios are smart and intelligent, so they notice things that other people miss. They like the night time because that’s when they are the brightest. They are never blinded or frightened by the darkness; instead, they seduce and call it home.
Aquarius: The Lone Night Wolf
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of change, innovation, and the unknown. Due to the influence of Uranus, Aquarians are very different. They never follow the crowd, and would rather stick out like a sore thumb than be like everyone else.
Aquarians are true loners who prefer to work independently. Nighttime gives them the comfort they seek but rarely get during the day. When darkness passes over the sky, their mind comes alive. It’s not unusual for an Aquarius to work late into the night on their passion project, most likely something to do with helping people, protecting the planet, or inventing new technology. Although they are very active and rational, they are also dreams – and dreamers do their best work in the dark.
Pisces: The Dreamer
Pisces people are almost guaranteed to be nocturnal creatures, thanks to their ruling planet. Pisces is ruled by Netpune, the planet of dreams, fantasy, and illusion. Since dreams form such an important part of their astrological makeup, it’s no wonder this star sign prefers the night.
Because of their dreaminess, Pisces people are extremely creative and romantic. They are so whimsical that they seem like the rest of the world. They do their most inspired work at night, when the whole world is still and they can enter their visions.
Pisces people also love to sleep and need a lot of it to function properly. They can’t be forced into normal sleep cycles, either – you won’t catch them waking up in the morning and going to bed when the sun goes down. They need to sleep long, often, and like to sleep late at night. Sometimes this gives them an unfair reputation for being lazy, but these night owls make up for their downtime by staying up late, working and creating. Even their sleep is productive because they get a lot of inspiration from their dreams.
