Some thrive on challenges and feel that the harder and more impossible it is, the more determined they become to conquer it. If something scares you, that makes it even more appealing. Once you’ve faced a fear, it no longer has power over you.

Not backing down from a challenge is definitely something astrology can influence. Because the tenacious zodiac signs enjoy feeling tested, and love adventure and conquering their fears. These people are their own superheroes, and when they’re on the other side of the challenge, they feel a rush of adrenaline.

People who thrive on challenges don’t just face them, they seek them out. When we get outside our comfort zones and do something unfamiliar, it can help us feel better about ourselves and help build our self-esteem. Doing something you weren’t sure you could do is one of the best things for yourself.

1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

Aries live for challenges. There are few things they enjoy more than a good challenge, so clearly they're not going to back down from one. They wouldn't even understand the concept.

Aries are courageous to the point where any fear they have is ignored or downplayed. They want to do things that are unexpected and that someone else would never do. The bigger the challenge, the happier Aries is. If someone tells them that they can't do something, they'll just do it in a bigger way to prove them wrong.

2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)

Leos are also known for their courage and bravery, and they know people look up to them and they need to set an example. If a Leo backed down from a challenge, others might also back down and then everything would be in chaos.

If Leos are afraid, they suck it up, face that fear, and keep going until they've conquered both their fear and the challenge. They probably challenge themselves more than most people do, and they become better people because of it.

Capricorns don't feel as if they need to finish something the fastest, they just need to do it, even if it's something they'd rather not do, don't enjoy doing, or appears extremely difficult.

When faced with a challenge, Capricorns keep going and stays focused on the outcome. They stay steady, knowing that eventually (as long as they don't give up), they'll succeed.

They'll keep going and going until they succeed, but they won't rest once they've accomplished what they wanted. Aquarius is always setting up new challenges for themselves.
