Who’s Your Astrological Friend and Frenemy?

Aries

Gemini

Who's your friend: Gemini tends to be popular and have many friends, but those relationships are mostly superficial. Only Aries and Libra can get beneath the happy-go-lucky facade of a Gemini. Aries will help Gemini be honest about their feelings and Libra will shower them with much-needed unconditional love.

Who's your frenemy: Pisces and Gemini will struggle to stay on the same page. While Gemini loves the chance to debate every idea, Pisces will become defensive when forced to constantly clarify their positions. This will lead to major hurt feelings on both sides.

Cancer

Who's your friend: Stay close to your Scorpio and Taurus friends. Scorpio is protective and defensive which makes sensitive Cancer feel secure. Taurus is patient and supportive, giving Cancer the emotional safety to be honest about their feelings.

Who's your frenemy: Keep your distance from impulsive, energetic Aries. True to their ram nature, they tend to push quiet Cancer around and get enjoyment from provoking a crab's temper.

Leo

Who's your friend: Powerful Leo was made for friendships with strong-willed Aries and explorative, independent Sagittarius. A relationship with these signs allows a Leo to feel empowered and understood.

Who's your frenemy: Leo may be instinctually drawn to a Scorpio because they admire their sharp tongues but they will get a nasty surprise when hot-tempered Scorpio strikes at them at the slightest provocation.

Virgo

Who's your friend: Cancer is a spectacular friend for analytical Virgo. Cancer has the ability to understand Virgo's insecurities and can serve as a protector and mentor when Virgo feels overwhelmed.

Who's your frenemy: Virgo should keep their distance from Sagittarius, who can't stand rehashing the past. Sagittarius will be quick to leave Virgo hanging the minute they feel the emotional responsibility is more than they can handle.

Libra

Who's your friend: Gemini and Sagittarius are able to make serious Libra laugh and try new approaches to problem-solving. These friendships will strengthen Libra and offer them a chance to discover new perspectives.

Who's your frenemy: Cancer tends to hide their feelings and pretend things are OK when they're not (#passive-aggressive). This will undoubtedly frustrate Libra who approaches problems from a logical and balanced viewpoint and is ready to discuss whatever bothers them.

Scorpio

Who's your friend: Scorpio needs understanding friends who don't run away from their no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is attitude. That is exactly what makes them a strong friend match for Cancer and Pisces, who respect honesty and can see past a Scorpio's defense mechanisms.

Who's your frenemy: It can be a volatile mix when Leo and Scorpio come together. Both sides will provoke the other and since both have a tendency toward being hot-tempered, a simple disagreement could turn into a full-fledged battle.
