5 Zodiacs Who Are The Best Cheerleaders For Their Friends

There’s nothing like a good friend’s encouragement to make you feel like you can conquer anything. When your chosen family member believes in you, they lift your spirits in ways no one else can. There are a few zodiacs who love to sit on the sidelines and applaud their friends in the limelight. They know just how to empower their loved ones and make them feel special. Here are the five star signs who make the best cheerleaders for their friends, and how astrology explains their uplifting nature.

Aries

You might think that Aries people can’t be good cheerleaders for others because they are so competitive. While it’s true that this zodiac loves a little rivalry, they compete the most with themselves. They take their friendships very seriously and want to be the best possible pal they can be, including championing whatever cause their loved ones pursue. Aries people give 100% to the things they care about, so they will go above and beyond to cheer their friends on. You’re starring in a local musical? Aries will be in the audience on opening night, bringing flowers to give you after the show. You want encouragement getting back into the gym? Aries will pick you up to drive to the gym any time you want to go, and even coach you through workouts. This star sign makes a loyal friend who goes the extra mile for the people they care about the most.

Gemini

As one of the most social and outgoing signs of the zodiac, Gemini people have a lot of friends, and somehow they manage to be there for every single one. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication, Geminis are naturally bright and skilled at connecting with others. They have an insatiable curiosity, so they take a genuine interest in their friends’ interests. They also love to stay busy, and are happy to attend all their friends’ events, rehearsals, etc. Another way Geminis encourage their friends is by using their connections to help them. You got laid off and need a new job? Gemini will make some calls and set up an interview. You just went through a rough breakup and need a wingman? Gemini will set you up on a date with someone wonderful they know. This zodiac makes an excellent friend who knows just how to motivate and inspire their loved ones. 

Cancer

Cancers are among the sweetest, kindest friends you could ever have. Guided by the moon, the celestial body of divine feminine energy, this zodiac shows love to their friends by nurturing them. If you have a big presentation coming up that you’re nervous about, Cancer will come over the night before to cook your favorite meal and run you a bath. If you need to go out of town unexpectedly, Cancer will take care of your pets and water your plants. This star sign encourages friends through actions, and you will always feel safe and taken care of with them. They just want their loved ones to feel happy and secure, and they are great at cheerleading their friends through anything. 

Leo

Leos are fabulous friends, thanks to their endless optimism and innate leadership skills. Ruled by the sun, Leos are blessed with a cheerful disposition and a glowing countenance. And, as the zodiac represented by the lion, Leos make natural leaders and great mentors. They are fiercely loyal friends who genuinely want to see their loved ones succeed. They also have a flair for the dramatic and love an over-the-top gesture. You’re running your first marathon? Leo will be at the finish line, waving a huge poster with your name on it and providing plenty of snacks and water. Your birthday is coming up, and you’ve been feeling a little lonely or unappreciated? Leo will plan a huge surprise party so you know how cherished you are. There’s nothing this star sign won’t do to make a friend feel loved and supported.

Pisces

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces people possess wise, old souls. Just being in their presence can be comforting and encouraging, like visiting a beloved elder. Pisces is also a water sign, which means they are sensitive and emotional. They’re so intuitive that they can pick up on your feelings without you saying a word, and they might even be more aware of your emotions than you are. They also anticipate your emotional needs and go out of their way to help you avoid distress. Pisces people are highly compassionate, so they’re always there to talk through your worries and troubles. They know just how to console you and then turn the conversation around into something positive. A loved one just died? Your Pisces friend will help you connect with them spiritually, and say all the right things to let you know that your bond lasts longer than this lifetime. You’re suffering through a bad breakup? Pisces points out all the ways your ex wasn’t right for you, then curls up on the couch to watch movies and eat ice cream together. You’ll never find a friend who is more attuned to your emotional and spiritual needs, so Pisces people make excellent cheerleaders.
