Loyalty is a key ingredient in successful relationships and something we all strive to find in our best friends.
In astrology, we believe that certain star signs have traits they’re predisposed to—including loyalty. If you’ve ever asked which zodiac sign is the most loyal friend, this article is for you.
1. Cancer
Cancers are arguably the most loyal sign of the zodiac due to their ability to read other peoples’ emotional needs and fulfill them. There’s nothing like having the sweet, nurturing nature of Cancer in your close quarters.
This emotional zodiac sign is extremely empathetic. They know what it feels like to be hurt, so they vow never to put others through the same pain. Most Cancers are prone to overgiving so you can expect them to always be gifting you trinkets, showering you in compliments, and listening to you implicitly when you are upset. The unwavering support of a Cancer makes this sign the most loyal because they are not only dependable and reliable, but they will emotionally give as well.
Cancers are extremely sentimental and crave security. Once they have opened up to you and feel they can trust you, they will stay by your side no matter what. The sympathetic Cancerian soul knows what it can feel like to be stabbed in the back by a friend so they would never do it to another.
2. Taurus
The second most loyal sign of the zodiac is Taurus. Taurus signs are both reliable and devoted. If you host an important event, they will show up.
Their strong sense of devotion sees them make leaps and bounds in their personal relationships to make sure their best friends, family, and partners feel seen, heard, and appreciated. This is what helps them feel grounded.
3. Virgo
A Virgo is an incredibly loyal soul. They don’t play games and they expect the same straightforwardness they bestow on others.
Once you have won the heart of a Virgo, they will fly you to the moon and back. They are genuine and kind, so their loyalty comes from a good place. They tend to give with pure intentions.
4. Scorpio
It can take some time to win the trust of a Scorpio, because they tend to be stubborn and assertive. But once they have invited you into their world, they will protect you at all costs.
If someone is bullying you, a Scorpio will stand up for you. Because of this quality, they tend to attract more long-term friendships as they can be relied upon to defend their friends.
5. Leo
The fiery zodiac sign of Leo has the qualities of being a very loyal friend. Although they tend to be flirty and social, don’t let this fool you. Leos are loyal because they’re firm about their opinions and they are selective with who they keep in their close circle. Once you have been chosen by a Leo, you can guarantee they will stick by you for the long haul.
Leos don’t tend to let go of people easily. As long as you are putting effort into the connection, they will too, making them a true, loyal friend.
Having friends in your life you can trust is absolutely priceless. While it’s not to say that other zodiac signs don’t possess the qualities of a good friend, there are certain star signs that seem to lean toward loyalty more consistently. Certainly, the social butterflies of the zodiac such as Gemini, Sagittarius, and Libra can sweep you off your feet with their bubbling, engaging energy, but there the support and dedication of a Cancer, Taurus, and Virgo in particular, can be unconditional.
