The best-advising zodiac signs, ranked

Advice is like junk mail—you always get it but rarely consider it. The zodiac signs with the best advise are rare. These signs know how to console you and tell you the hard facts, often from their own experiences.

Aries

Aries have a momma bear instinct towards the other zodiac signs, so they'll patiently listen to you and then fight your battles for you.

Taurus

Patient, polite, and empathetic, Taureans may not know how to save the world, but their conversations are free of I-told-you-sos, even if it's your twentieth sorrow in the same blow-hot-blow-cold relationship.

Gemini

Due to their two identities, Geminis are unpredictable. They can wipe up your tears and go errands for backup Kleenex one day then give you harsh love and tell you to get over yourself the next.

Cancer

Despite your anguish, a Cancer is bleeding. Their caring and compassionate nature has your best interests in mind, even if they're overprotective.

Leo

Leos have 99 issues, but listening to you isn't one. Asking for their guidance in a critical crisis can evolve into a detailed discussion of what they would have done—but only because they believe the world can learn from their shining example.

Virgo

World rulers Not Virgos, who discreetly control everything and keep trains on time. Let them give their finest counsel and watch them shine.

Libra

Libras love the underdog, and nothing gets them more fired up than injustice against the weak. Ask them for honest, objective advise, even if it's hard to hear.

Scorpio

Scorpios can provide the safe space you need to heal from life's blows. They are also queens of retaliation, so whoever put you down should sleep with one eye open.

Sagittarius

Here today, gone tomorrow. Sagittarians have broadened horizons and worldviews to give you the best life advise, but they're hard to keep when you need them.

Capricorn

If you're seeking someone to lean on and utter empty platitudes, you should seek out a different place. Cap has exceptional emotional control and problem-solving skills in high-pressure situations.

Aquarius

Just like Cap, an Aquarian's expansive mind can help you see the larger picture, which is essential for overcoming self-pity and regaining composure in times of crisis.

Pisces

But hey, if you are looking for a sympathetic ear and not a lecture on the best practices to run your life, ring up your nearest Pisces. Filled with empathy and a nurturing heart, they will give you a safe space to vent.

Stay tuned for developments.
