2 Zodiac Signs That Are Emotional Sponges

An emotional sponge is someone who absorbs the energies, moods, and feelings of everyone around them. Emotional sponges are empathetic, but sometimes a little too empathetic for their own good. In any case, emotional sponges are supportive of their loved ones and will always be there for them no matter what. They just need to remember they deserve their own love too.

Here are two zodiac signs who are total emotional sponges.

1. Cancer

Selfless, protective, and compassionate, Cancer is a natural-born empath who will do anything they possibly can to help the people they love the most in their life. Cancer dotes on their loved ones and will go out of their way to make their friends and family happy.

Cancer is ruled by the moon, the celestial body linked to emotions and intuition, which is why this water sign can easily to sense the emotional states of others. While Cancer’s emotional sensitivity is largely a good thing, and is ultimately what makes them so tender in the first place, Cancer’s heightened awareness of others’ feelings can drain Cancer if they aren’t careful and regularly refilling their own cup.

2. Pisces

Pisces is the other emotional sponge of the zodiac. Sensitive, imaginative, and endlessly understanding, Pisces can pick up on any feeling, good or painful, that someone else might be experiencing. This makes them incredibly supportive (but sometimes to Pisces’ own detriment).

Because Pisces can easily detect the emotions of others, they also end up absorbing those feelings and taking them on as their own. Pisces often ends up feeling responsible for other’s emotional states, especially if those states are often thought of as being more negative. While it is coming from a good place, Pisces needs to remember that they can support someone else but they can’t fix them. They can only love them.
