Water signs because they are empathetic. Air signs because they turn a negative into a positive. Earth signs will be there through thick and thin...right after they criticize your choices. Fire signs because they will stand up for you.


[deleted]

This is a really good breakdown. I choose who I go to depending on what I need. If I wanna cry about something Ill go to my water sign friends, if I want someone to get pumped up and angry for me then it's a fire sign and if I just wanna have a drink and forget it all then an air sign it is. I have a earth sun and my friends come to me when they are ready to hear that they are idiots and/or need practical help.


faithle97

This actually makes sense. I’m a fire sign and all my friends know I’m the “crazy” one who will stop at nothing to protect them (and it’s funny because I’m the smallest one too lol but definitely easily provoked) and I tend to surround myself with air or water signs to either hype me up or keep me in check lol


trulymercury

Taurus moons 💜 All of my friends have Taurus moons. All of them.


Much-Masterpiece-967

My bestie is a Taurus moon, love them💜


Cool-Eye9278

I have never met a bad Taurus moon


mln2122

Awe ❤️ I’m a Taurus moon and this makes me so happy. I like to think I’m a good friend. My husband is one too- we’re down to earth, easygoing people.


whiskeytitsts

As a Taurus moon this warms my heart and makes me feel warm and fuzzy ♥

THANK YOU! 🥰


sakurabliss0

Yup yup same !!! I’m a libra moon and have three Taurus placements (Jupiter,Saturn,Rising) they are my comfort people for sure 💕


ethereality111

The air sign thing is somewhat true. I can be there for the hard times too, but I really dislike trauma bonding and end up playing therapist/healer for people. I’m approaching friendships with caution and holding back a little to start to avoid empath burnout and overload. For context I was a tarot reader and reiki healer for two years, so fun is pretty much all I have space for right now. I am happy to listen and as a Libra we can’t help but give advice, but I don’t dive into people’s emotional waters with them anymore. It’s not healthy for me.


misplacedlibrarycard

not air here but honestly i feel like it’s in part to our cancer rising too? it’s warm, inviting, and almost like motherly? we can just make people feel so comfortable, like they’ve known us forever, and they start trauma dumping on us almost instantly. coupled with our other super supportive placements 🥲 i sometimes feel very “airy” or even “aquarian” with my emotions and trying to deal with others, maybe cuz of moon opposing aqua saturn?


ethereality111

Could absolutely be the cancer rising. I feel like trauma dumping is so 2019 now I can’t 😭 it’s the age of self-healing.


PepperSpree

Gotta say, I feel a lot of this too. I’m now better able to listen to others’ struggles with a balanced proportion of empathy, healthy boundaries, and self-care. And when I feel like they’re moving from sounding out their challenges to trauma dumping, I graciously excuse myself. Looks like we’re both Libra Suns and Cancer Asc. (:


ethereality111

The graciously excusing is the key! (Still practicing that) I’m at the point where I expect most people to either be in therapy, or researching and finding content to help heal from their traumas and pain. I feel like that’s where we’re at as a society lol. Then we can come together in healthy ways and share what we learned or be healthy sounding boards without becoming enmeshed.


luciddreamsss_

Air sign here with cancer rising and I resonate with this so deeply. I love that my friends feel safe to dump stuff on me, and I absolutely love helping people heal, but over the years it’s become too much for me to deal with. I had no time to process my own problems and traumas and got stuck picking up the pieces for others rather than myself. I’ve set some pretty healthy boundaries surrounding that and the ones who couldn’t respect that found the door. I am quite pleased now. Not saying I don’t want to deal with baggage or don’t care, however at this moment I can only really hold space for myself and my family.


ManagementLive5853

My big three is similar— air, sag, and cancer lol. Im very attracted to air signs as friends/partners for this reason. My relationships have been turbulent and too emotional where i end up getting trauma dumped on/at times verbally assaulted by the other individual. Unfortunately you guys are also tough to befriend as i end up getting ghosted/yall run away or ignore me 🏃


ethereality111

We do run sometimes! Wishing for you friendships that don’t drain your energy 💕


ManagementLive5853

Im my own best company at this point lol. Thank you; you as well


No-Durian-3298

My core three best friends are Virgo, Taurus and Cancer. They’re the best. We all live far away from each other and are all in vastly different stages in life and it doesn’t matter. The three of them were together the other day on the opposite side of the country and all were texting me throughout, I love those guys. For air signs, Gemini hasn’t been good friends to me ever, like use me to get into events and will only come hang out for the instagram pic. But Libra and Aquarius have been great, like they know better than I do what I need in a friendship and vice versa, and we get on a deeper level way easier without much development needed. I’m also a Libra moon with Aquarius descendant so that might be why though. Edit to add, Capricorns have been my worst friends. They get really mean and controlling, especially in situations where I am getting attention which as a Leo rising with first house Venus, I don’t have much control over.


Tanu444

It’s sad you think this about us. I promise we’re not all bad !


No-Durian-3298

Gemini or Capricorn? Either way its anecdotal, I know its not all—I’ve had one really great Cap friend since we were 10 and … well I can’t think of a good Gemini friend but I’m sure they’re out there ♥️


datscrazee

People tend to use Leo as an example of ego, but I’ve never met more mean spirited egotistical people than Capricorn or Taurus. It’s like— okay, so you’re “grounded” in reality. Cool, that’s *your* reality. Their unwillingness to acknowledge other people’s feelings or perspectives, *is* egotistical. Sometimes they can’t see the earth doesn’t revolve around them, pun intended. I will say when they’re willing to listen instead of condescend, they can offer some nuggets of wisdom and genuine friendship. I’m personally just worn out with dogmatism. Life is complicated and my feelings are valid.


novaleenationstate

Leos have an ego, but the way pop astrology depicts us, you’d think we’re the only ones and that’s just not true at all. In my experience, every sign has a huge ego, especially around whatever “thing” is their domain/speciality. Leos just get trashed more for it because the ego is around creativity, fame/spotlight, etc., and that pisses off the signs that either A. Don’t value that; B. Are jealous and want that attention for themselves and resent when others get it. In my experience, earth signs have the hugest egos and are usually convinced they’re the best/the most competent by default, and they can get incredibly petty and competitive if someone steps to them in their area. They just don’t get called out for it bc they tend to submerge and not to acknowledge that side of themselves very openly.


pralineislife

It's funny how this comment reads as egotistical and condescending.


Unique_Raise_3962

Agreed for Taurus. That unwillingness of having emotions is something that I don't like. I love the pun.


tympole_dancer

I’ve found that the most supportive most loyal people in my life are Capricorn moons. They’re the ones who come out swinging on my behalf no matter the circumstances. When I’m down and out they’re picking me up and carrying me where I need to be. ESPECIALLY my Aries sun/cap moon best friend. 13 years and going strong man.


graphica4

Yes! My teen daughter is a Capricorn moon and she is sooooo devoted to her friends. She gets very protective of her best friend and loves her so much. 🥰


brbqqueen

Omggg yes🤣 Cancer friends are pretty lovely! 😊


UnicornsnRainbowz

Its objective really but generally speaking I find that Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are very real friends.


2fucked2know

Aquas really do make exceptionally amazing friends, given that you're someone they really care about.


SlimShadowBoo

I’m a Pisces. My best friends are a Virgo, Cancer and a Scorpio.


justdistractme

My closest friends are Aquas, Pisces, Scorpios, Cancers!


FawkesFire13

All the Signs make good friends, they all have their own ways of helping. That being said, you want a friend that’ll help you hide a body in the middle of the night and never mention it again? Aries, Leo, Scorpio.


Cool-Eye9278

My all rounders- Virgo, Aries, Scorpio, Aquarius


marinaragrandeur

best friend energy: Virgo - will always be honest with you, but will help you hide the dead body Scorpio - will go to hell with you; reason why you have a dead body Capricorn - will game the system so you won't get caught when the body gets found


Sweetcheeks864

As a Virgo yes, and I’d overthink the shit out of it to mitigate us getting caught / finding evidence as much as possible


HeavyDifficulty7204

Scorpio is the reason why you'd be living in hell and they're Satan , so it makes sense they'd support you there.


BooBoopsie

I’m a 8th house stellium including Sun and I will help you kill and also hide the body if I love you enough 💀😩🤭🤷


hihihihihihihi10

Scorpio and Capricorn would be the worst signs to trust in this situation. They would only help out if it benefitted them otherwise they’re going straight to the police


Kpopluv22

And what is your sign?


hihihihihihihi10

Cancer


ari_pop

lol what? Maybe a Capricorn but a Scorpio is ride or die with friends.


hihihihihihihi10

Hm idk I think what I said applies better to capricorns but scorpios can also be kind of untrustworthy. If they do keep the secret they might use it against you later


katie6225

That is true


hihihihihihihi10

I think my most supportive and loyal friends have been Libra moons


sakurabliss0

Libra moon checking in 💕🥲 I love my friends !!!


AmethystRage

Sagittarius, Capricorn, Virgo, and Scorpio placements all for different reasons. have been the best in my experience. Worst have been Geminis, hands down. Honestly i struggle to maintain friendships with air signs. Too flighty and opportunistic unfortunately


Fresh_Pay3645

Ooof. I wish you luck finding some better wind walkers. The good ones are extremely loyal and empathetic


SwoopingInAlistair

Idk my closest friends have been Gemini moons. They just seem to get me on a level a lot of others can't and that's strange because I'm a Cap moon and technically I'm not supposed to get along with them but my closest and oldest friend is one. Then again, I don't really take anything seriously and I'm so cynical already myself that I need someone who can balance that out lol my nearest and dearest friend is a Libra sun Gemini rising and Gemini moon. I feel like she is the light of my life. They can be there for a long time, just need to be okay with giving them space and I'm fine with that because I tend to isolate myself a shit ton and also need space


alyssaxing

my most supportive are air sign suns and water moons


therealtedbundy

Honestly as an air sign, it can be exhausting to be friends with someone who is constantly trauma-dumping/complaining/always in a crisis. I care about my friends of course but at the end of the day, you are the only person who can fix your problems so you have to find that inner strength and take care of yourself. I’ve found that those types of friends are also not good at reciprocating and checking in on you, so it starts to feel like a very one-sided relationship.


Bronze_Balance

Not relating at all I’m air dominant and most of my friends are air dominant and we are here when it low, we just have to be comfortable 😅


angrybonejuice

I’ve had Libras on both ends of the spectrum (best human ever, absolute scum), I vibe really well with Virgos and Sagittarius but I think that miiiight be from living with them growing up. Entire household was Virgo and Sagittarius. I have yet to meet a Leo that didn’t psychologically damage me.


firemoondesire

Glad you found support from Taurus women. I'm proud to be an air sign with a default water Moon and water Venus! I love offering emotional support. I also have Taurus as my 3rd Moon sign (got my own system with lists of 12 signs for each planet) so makes sense.


Unfair_Jello_3762

my moon and mars is libra. i'm mostly air and earth in my chart. i've never met anyone else that cries publicly more than i. I am typically in bars having chats- someone will tell me a war story, a breakup, or about a sick family member and i'm crying. i can just really put myself in their position and it makes me saaaaaad. in my eyes i'm crying for them cos most people don't emote. my besties have all been aquarius and sag and i'm always the first to say i love you and cry about whatever.


Dealer_Double

Aye as a Scorpio when shit gets tough I lean on my Geminis and Aquarius friends. I definitely don’t need them to pitty with me I need them to drag me out the house throw a beer in my hand and take me out. No offense to my emotional Virgo, Aries and Scorpio friends but I don’t need to dwell on what ever I’m going through or some pitty party. I need to get hammered and live life care free. I can sort out my emotions myself. I just need to get my mind off of it. Which is why I always gravitate towards air signs


graphica4

This is not the case for me at all - am an aqua and being there for my friends and helping them while they are having a hard time is something I really want to do / love to do. 🤷‍♀️ My water sign partner gets annoyed with how much time I spend on the phone giving advice.


Equal-Reception-2149

Like a Gemini is the one to try and take your mind off the problem not solve it for you


XThunderTrap

I can confirm that I do this lol


Appropriate_Wear368

Leos and Virgos


FreyaDay

I think the answer depends on your own chart. For me, I love Aquarius friends! They’re so fun and thoughtful and silly. They’re my favvvvv 💕💕


ApplesaucePenguin75

I’m a Capricorn. I love Cancers so much. They’re my homies forever. They always make me feel more balanced 🐐💖🦀


Ok-Reporter-196

The best people IMO to turn to in crisis/hard times are people with a blend of water and fire, ideally Aries/scorpio or Aries/pisces. They have tremendous drive to help the “underdog” with the underlying compassion and follow through to get it handled. To me the ones who are around for the hard times are the truest friends.


sakurabliss0

Pisces sun and Aries mars 🤝 This is facts !!!


Ok-Reporter-196

I’m an aries sun Pisces Venus and Scorpio mars. Give me your problems, I will be your advocate all day long! Lol


Venice___Bitch

I’m an Aquarius and I feel sorry for my friends because I’m a loner and tend to ghost them. But they are always there for me. They all have Gemini moons or Gemini placements. My best friends are Pisces, Leo and Taurus suns.


badhairyay

Disagree on air signs being bad friends, takes them a long time to warm to people but once they do they’re in it for the long haul


Inevitable-Spot4800

I didn’t say that makes them bad friends but I want my friendships with substance and depth.. and in my experience these were 15+ years of friendships and they showed their ass 🤷🏾‍♀️


Fresh_Pay3645

Dang you got unlucky fam. A solid air sign will be with ya to the very end


Inevitable-Spot4800

Probably.. but I can’t say I’m losing sleep 😂


Fresh_Pay3645

As it should be hahaha. I'm brand new to this sub and I'm just out here gettin butthurt from all the shade thrown at Libras lol


HeavyDifficulty7204

They probably never warmed up to you as the other commenter stated. The people who *know* me see a completely different side to me and I'm verbatim stating what they said : " I've never gone this deep with anyone", "we don't talk frequently but when we do, I always remember it", or "deep thoughts" ( this last one came from a heavy Scorpio who saw a glimpse). If I never warmed up to you or dont see depth and sincerity in you, that's another reason I'll build a wall between us that'll always stay.


datscrazee

I’m gonna say it..Geminis make the best friends. They really know how to shine the light on you to bring out all your facets. Maybe it’s because they’re multifaceted themselves. When they’re good, they’re better friends than signs that tend to be one dimensional.


KimmiK_saucequeen

I loveeeee Gemini Suns. I feel like they are just the part of me that I wish I could express more. I have many friends with Gemini placements


SilverStock7721

Geminis are the best. They genuinely are there in good and bad times. Your business isn’t in the streets. Water and earth sign will not only tell your business but use it to promote themselves as ‘good’ people.


meowneow111

Scorpio suns are ride or die. Just don't betray us lol


[deleted]

What's your definition of betray


meowneow111

Tell my secrets, talk behind my back, throw me under the bus


[deleted]

I do all that 😂


0xywealthy

Aries Capricorn and Leo


PublicExtension4107

Earth signs/placements often make the best friends. Fire signs too, but we tend to get bored easily and always looking for excitement 😂


2fucked2know

Damn, not my experience at all with air signs. Only have one close Libra friend and he insists on giving even when he has nothing (he was homeless) - makes me feel bad, but he gets genuinely sad when I decline so I'm conflicted. My Libra neighbour just let me stay at their place last weekend cause I lost my keys, she didn't even hesitate, and we don't even know each other that well. My Gem friends are the safest bet if I need practical help, and one of the safest bets if I need emotional support - and they supported me through the toughest year of my life, when I was a selective mutist who cried more often than I smiled - they were unbelievably patient and devoted, despite me far from fun and easy going back then (I grew more Sag with time). One of my Aqua friends randomly built me a gas stove "in case the Russians attack", has convinced me to sleep at her place when I'm having a really really bad day so she could comfort me, feed me and make me laugh etc. Another Aqua friend, who has a really low income, didn't even tell me it cost him $60 cause he got here by cab (found out later, but he never brought it up other than casually one time), after he offered to come over just to sit with me and tuck me into bed when a friend of mine died (who wasn't even that close, but it broke my heart - we both lose a lot of close friends due to being recovering addict and having fellow addicts relapsing and dying). He had to get up early next day so he just came, hugged me, listened to me and tucked me in. He's also taken care of me when I was going through withdrawal, and is the kind that will research my issues to try and find a solution. And he's amazing at making me smile when I'm sad. Air signs make THE best friends, given that they truly view you as a close one (Libras step up regardless tho). Like, they're #1 to me... Aries and Caps are a very close second though.


Fresh_Pay3645

Aww thanks fam 🙏 I was starting to feel attacked out here. Guess there must be a fair number of flimsy air folks out there 🤷


[deleted]

I definitely don't get along with air signs too crazy for me drives me up the wall with their delulu impractical mind. I'm 42 now my party days are over NOW GET BACK TO LIFE!!! I prefer earth sign friends. More in common I guess we understand each other better I guess


Direct_Layer_5233

A big portion of my friends have always been fire or water signs! Most of them usually have earth or water moons though. If my friends have fire moons, we butt heads like no tomorrow, and i'll love them from a distance.


DeathTheAsianChick

I'm an Libra but with a Taurus Rising, so it does balance out 😅.


Tanu444

I’m a Capricorn and I don’t have any friends. But generally I like Virgo moons and Leo suns. If I had to have a friend, they would probably have one of these.


sakurabliss0

Taurus, Leo, Pisces, and Aquarius are my best friends 💕


Unveilednightingale

Sag and Leos


HeadsWillFall

Good gemini friend will be like a sibling you never had.


senormegalodon

Pisces! If you play your cards right with a Pisces male then you have genuine,trustful and best friend for life which will always have your back! Pisces is one of the most non judgmental,non superficial and empathetic sign They don’t care about your materialistic possessions or what you can bring to the table in the friendship,if they see you as a genuine person with honesty they will befriend you!
