For most of us, a solid friendship that stands the test of time is important for our happiness. Friendship in itself is essential, whether or not you know how to make friends. Most people know the importance of their friends but not everybody values long-time friendships in the same manner. They might know a lot of people but when times get tough, these people won't stick around. This brings us to talk about how astrology can help you understand which zodiac signs know how to form lifelong friendships and others, not so much.

Aries

Aries tend to put a lot of their energy into their friendships. They have quite a busy lifestyle, but they will always make time for their friends. They tend to have a large social circle but have a few friends they've had for a very long time. They're very passionate about friendship as they are about the other important aspects of their lives.

Leo

Leos make fantastic friends and people usually sense this because they look up to Leos and want to be in their lives. They always have lifelong friends and they give as much as they get in close friendships. Leo shares a great connection between them and their friends.

Libra

Libras are very social and tend to maintain many acquaintances. They also have a whole group of lifelong friends. They might make new friends along the way but they won't get rid of the friends who have always been there. Libra and their friends embrace each other's quirks and weirdness without any judgment.

Taurus

Taureans form great friendships and watch out for their friends at all times. They are never afraid of giving out some tough love if the situation needs it. They are dependable, patient and will help their friends in any way possible. They won't abandon their friends when life gets tough.

Gemini

Once you make a Gemini friend, they won't let you go. They're great to talk to and they are great at giving life advice. You can be totally vulnerable with a Gemini. They can keep their friends entertained and they will always make sure to give their friends a great time.

Capricorn

This zodiac sign chooses its friends wisely. They won't care if they have a ton of friends or just a few. They will make an effort at friendship just like they do with everything else. They're quite supportive, patient and dependable. Capricorn will always keep their promises and have your back.

Cancer

Cancers are a bit hard to get along with, which may not seem obvious until you get to know them. They're "very friendly" but can't be an actual friend. Cancer is super friendly and open in general, but when it comes to trusting someone, they back out over and over again. You can know them as acquaintances, but as friends, you're going to have a tough time.

Virgo

Virgo doesn't make for a bad friend, but they have very on-again, off-again friendships in their life. They are fickle and impulsive. They will end friendships very easily and without remorse. So if you don't hear from your Virgo friend, just pick the signs.

Aquarius

Aquarians are way too into themselves to even bother treating someone else with the respect of friendship. They also make for a very selfish friend who will throw you or anyone else under the bus, if circumstances are such. They can be too cold in their friendships and they tend to ignore, sacrifice or throw away their friends in a jiffy.

Scorpio

Scorpio can seem like the best friend one can have. But they usually have a reason to befriend you and it's not because you're awesome. For Scorpios, most friendships involve a level of how they can benefit. Once they get what they want from you, they will stop sharing a great connection with you and move on.

Pisces

Pisceans are terrible friends to have and they don't even know how to form great friendships. This is because they get upset too quickly as they are too sensitive. Once you upset them for any reason whatsoever, you won't hear from them again. If you want to maintain a friendship with Pisces, it will mean you walking on eggshells all the time n the hope that they won't give up on you.

Sagittarius

Sagittarians like constant stimulation. This means long-term friendships are not their jam. They will jump from one friend to the next without realising they are hurting people. They won't think twice before bonding with someone new and forgetting you along the way. This is the major reason why they can't maintain long-term friendships.
