The 12 signs of the zodiac all have their quintessential qualities and traits, and for some, responsibility is definitely one of them. Because let's be honest: not every sign is the picture of reliability and accountability, but others pride themselves on it.

Obviously, someone's sign can never guarantee they'll be the most responsible person you've ever met, but the following three signs are known for taking themselves seriously and sticking to their word.

P.S. This would apply to anyone with any of the following signs as their sun, moon, and/or rising sign.

1.

Capricorn

The most responsible zodiac sign of them all is none other than structured and hard-working Capricorn. This earth sign is ruled by Saturn, after all—the literal planet of responsibility and discipline.

Capricorns biggest priority in life is their own success, typically in a material sense. They value a job well done, want to achieve their wildest dreams, and consider themselves natural leaders.

As such, they have no problem being responsible, whether for themselves, others, or a team, and they definitely won't let you down if you're counting on them for something.

2.

Virgo

Up next we have Virgo as the second most responsible zodiac sign. An earth sign, like Capricorn, Virgo understands the importance of tangible results and material gain, so they're not going to butter you up with empty promises or wishy-washy plans.

Virgo is also associated with the sixth house of selfless service. The maiden of the zodiac might be typecast as a perfectionist, but they strive for perfection out of an inherent sense of responsibility and duty. They're not just in it for themselves—they feel responsible for nearly everything and everyone around them.

With their extremely high standards and inclination to refine and improve, Virgo definitely gives Cap a run for their money in terms of who's more responsible.

3.

Taurus

Rounding out the earth signs, it's no surprise that Taurus is the third most responsible sign of the zodiac. If you've started to notice the trend, the earth signs are known for being stable, grounded, practical, and ultimately, reliable people—and those are all qualities Taurus especially embodies.

What you see is what you get with the Taureans of the world, so if they give you their word, you can trust it. They work hard, have incredible stamina, and will never quit. (Seriously, they're like, really stubborn.)

When it comes to responsibility, Taurus has strong morals and values. They're actually associated with the second house of values and self worth, so you can always count on them to take the high road.

The takeaway

If you meet an earth sign and they're not responsible, they probably have an Aries or Gemini rising. Just kidding, of course—any zodiac sign has the capacity to be responsible when the moment calls for it. But for Cap, Virgo, and Taurus, they come by their reliability all too naturally.
