If you are a fan of horoscopes, chances are you have been learning all there is to know about each of the 12 signs since middle school. From what styles each sign rocks the best to the most ideal romantic pairings, your favorite magazines and websites have kept you informed about the zodiac for as long as you can remember. But what if there are some characteristics that we don't already know from our years of zodiac devotion?! Let's uncover some uncommon qualities for each sign.
Aquarius: Gives the Best Advice
An
Aquarius is known for being an honest, independent thinker with a heart of
gold. But what you might not know is that they also have a serious knack for
offering the best advice to their friends and family. Their genuine nature and
ability to express the truth (even if it isn't always pretty) translates into
extremely valuable counsel. So, next time you need an honest opinion, you might
want to hit up your closest Aquarius friend.
Pisces: Always Lends a Helping Hand
A Pisces sign is known for being intuitive,
compassionate, and kind. What they might not be known for, however, is their
exceptionally helpful nature. Whether you need some extra hands for moving day,
a ride to the office when your car won't start, or even help figuring out your
latest grad school essay, a Pisces should always be your go-to pal.
Aries: Isn't Afraid to Make the First Move
An Aries sign is confident, enthusiastic, and passionate
about their beliefs. But unlike some other signs, an Aries is never afraid to
make the first move in any situation. Leaning in for the first kiss in a
romantic relationship or fearlessly bringing up a problem in a friendship is an
Aries's MO, so you should never be surprised by their candor.
Taurus: Physical Touch Is Their Love Language
A Taurus may be practical, responsible, and patient, but
did you know that a hug or kiss can also mean the world to them? A Taurus fully
communicates their love and affection through physical touch, and they love to
receive that same closeness back. And if you are in a relationship with this
sign, simple things like holding hands could absolutely make their day.
Gemini: Naturally Good at Everything
A Gemini is continuously curious, inquisitive, and
yearning to grow - and they also have a way of being good at literally
everything they try. For a Gemini, their natural ability to understand new
concepts helps when learning new skills, and not to mention, learning them
better than most. It doesn't matter if it's photography, painting, or even
cooking because a Gemini will most likely become an expert overnight.
Cancer: The Ocean Is Their Therapy
Cancer signs are loyal, emotional, and empathetic to
those around them. However, a little-known fact is that Cancer signs receive
especially therapeutic benefits from being on or near the ocean. The presence
of water can completely rejuvenate this sign, especially if they are going
through a more trying time. So, if you have a Cancer bud who is also a beach
bum, now you know why.
Leo: Performing Is Their Strength
Leos are cheerful, charismatic, and highly creative. And
that's a good thing, since this sign in particular also loves the art of
performing. Whether a Leo is singing for a room full of people, playing music
at the local coffee shop, or even making a sales pitch to a prospective client,
performing (in any sense) is in their blood. And they are damn good at it, too.
Virgo: Makes the Best Student
The Virgo sign is practical and hardworking and can be a
bit of a perfectionist. But not only that, a Virgo also makes for an amazing
student. They truly love to learn and take notes, and studying can even be one
of their favorite pastimes. Enrolling in a graduate program or a path of
continued learning can often be a Virgo's calling post-college, too.
Libra: A Gifted Listener
Libras may be social and fair-minded, but don't discredit
their ability to also truly listen. Being able to hear, understand, and retain
the words of others is one of the Libra's top gifts. So, if you are chatting or
texting with a pal, and you are hoping for some undivided attention, a Libra
friend is definitely your best option.
Scorpio: Has a Top-Notch Sense of Humor
A Scorpio is truthful, brave, and assertive, but don't
think that means they can't also make you laugh! While not always known as
being a humorous sign, Scorpios actually possess a very unique and somewhat
sarcastic wit to them. So, next time you need a good chuckle, don't hesitate to
call up your Scorpio bud for some quirky yet hilarious punchlines.
Sagittarius: Makes the Best Travel Companion
You may know that a Sagittarius is full of energy, but
did you realize that they also make the best travel companions? With their
open-minded nature and zest for adventure, they are always down to try new
things in new places. So, if you are wishing for a spontaneous trip filled with
fun, don't hesitate to invite your Sagittarius friend along for the ride.
Capricorn: Can Successfully Keep a Secret
Capricorns are quite responsible and possess an
impressive amount of self-control, which also helps to make them exceptional
secret keepers. This sign will never think twice about spilling your private
stories, so the next time you find yourself confiding intimate details to a
friend, you might want to make sure they are a Capricorn.
