Friendship by your star sign

A good friendship is like a work of art! Through some capricious luck or years of hard work at it, we endear ourselves to others, weaving our lives together through shared connections and memories. Find out how your Sun Sign affects what type of friend you are

Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

Aries Friendship Profile
As fire can be a fleeting thing, so can be the friendship of a Ram. If you want to call an Aries up for a night on the town, you'll have an exciting companion for the evening - but don't try to make plans for next week. This Sign needs variety in their friendships. If one group of people can't keep up with their constantly changing interests, they'll move on to new friends. Not that they ever lack companions: the Ram is well liked for their edge, so making new friends is never a big problem.

Friends are nice, but not exactly necessary for independent Aries, who doesn't need a big group to have fun. When they are in one, though, their competitive nature is liable to get the better of them. Don't try to borrow even a cup of sugar from this one.

Ruled by the First House of Self, selfishness can sometimes take the upper hand when it's a choice between people and possessions. On the other hand, the Ram can be very warm toward their friends. As long as Aries feels that they are the number one friend in your life, you can count on having an exciting, albeit brief, whirlwind of fun.

Taurus Friendship Profile
When they say they're your best friend forever, the Bull means it. Their friendship stands the test of time, and many Taurean friends have been this devoted since childhood. Constant, steady, loyal and devoted, this friend will stand by you through life. If you need to call someone to pick you up in the middle of a snowy night because your car has broken down, Taurus will be there in a flash, hot cocoa in gloved hand. Be warned, though, this is only if you've proved yourself to be as loyal a friend to them as they are to you. It's a case of them scratching your back if you scratch theirs.

Taurus makes a steady friend, but be careful not to arouse their jealousy. This Fixed Sign will be possessive of their buddies and aren't so likely to understand the old adage that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. You'll find a wonderful friend in Taurus, so long as you don't cancel any plans at the last minute.
