The Secret Reason Your (Pretend) Friend Is Jealous Of You Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re fearless. Your confidence allows you to do things your friend wouldn’t ever try, and it slightly infuriates them. They wish they could walk into a room like you do. For you, it’s nothing. Confidence and assurance is just another part of who you are.

Taurus

(April 20th to May 21st)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re responsible. You always know the right thing to do and when, and everyone knows they can depend on you for basically anything. Your friend wishes they had an ounce of your responsibility, they think you have it all together, and it’s because most of the time, you do, or you’re at least really good at pretending like you do.

Gemini

(May 22nd to June 21st)


Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re really good with people. You’re social and relatable, and people like you. You’re fun to be around and your friend enjoys that, but they also wish they were more like you in that way. Your friend wants to be as likable as you are.

Cancer

(June 22nd to July 22nd)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re so sensitive and in tune to people’s feelings. You’re compassionate and kind, and you don’t get annoyed when people vent to you. Emotions don’t scare you and you react to them like you react to anything else, calmly and collectedly.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you make your dreams reality. You have your dream job or relationship or both, and your friend doesn’t understand how you make it all happen. You work hard, and you don’t stop until you obtain the thing you’re after, that’s how. You work for everything you want, you don’t expect it to just magically happen for you.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you know how to solve every problem and you give the best advice only when it’s needed. People look to you for answers and it seems like you always have them. You help because you want to help, and because the people you help you genuinely care about and you hope they’d do the same for you.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re always so at peace. Your life is completely balanced, and you don’t let the little things stress you out. You live your life with a sense of calm that most don’t, and you’re never overwhelmed by the things you can’t control.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 22nd)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you have the ability to say it like it is. You don’t sugar coat or phrase things a certain way to tip toe around everyone’s feelings. You are confident enough to be honest, and to handle people’s reactions afterwards. You’re not trying to be mean or hurtful, you’re just stating the truth that will eventually help people anyway.

Sagittarius

(November 23rd to December 21st)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you don’t let what people think of you, keep you from living your life the way you want to live it. If you want to travel the world you’re going to do it, and if you want to do it alone, you’ll do that too. You don’t let other people’s expectations limit you, you set your own expectations and you’re not devastated when life takes a different course.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 20th)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you always do the reasonable thing, and your life progresses responsibly because of it. You’re organized and goal-oriented, and when you set your mind to something you usually make it happen. You’re not afraid or hard work, and you actually enjoy it. You’re just an overall determined person.

Aquarius

(January 21st to February 18th)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re really smart. You love to engage in intellectual conversations, and you actually care about what’s going on in the world. You’re deep and philosophical, and when you talk to people they can almost smell your intelligence before you even speak. You’ve got an active brain and you’re not afraid to use it.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

Your pretend friend is jealous of you because you’re not afraid of self-expression. You’re creative and talented, and you don’t ever question yourself when it comes to art or creative expression. Self-doubt isn’t a behavior you practice or even understand. You’re open to trying new things, and you always have a good attitude about it even if you fail at them. You’re not afraid to be who you are, and if you don’t know who you are, you’re fearless in figuring it out. [tc-mark]
