  • About Us
  • Read Geaux Girl!
Talking about your sun sign with new friends is always lots of fun. You can understand them better right away and find out what activities you’d enjoy together. Taurus ladies love to snack and lounge and Leos love to party. Who makes the best friends in the zodiac? Let’s see…

Aries is outspoken, honest, and full of energy. It’s no surprise they enjoy the company of Capricorns. Together, the two plot money moves, catch laughs, and take breaks to watch famous films. It’s just an added bonus they’re both stellar judges of character so they often dislike the same shady folks. Makes for a fun friendship.

Taurus’s best buddy is their bed and a box of snacks. Beyond that they enjoy Virgos for their impeccable taste in said snacks, their appreciation for the softest sheets and pillows, and their dislike for cheap things. Taurus and Virgo make amazing shopping buddies. But don’t expect to find them in public. These two could hunker down for days with their hoard of dope food and soft bedding and cause major damage with some online sale shopping. But only if it’s the best of the best.

Gemini could befriend anyone and in this way make a smashing bestie for Aquarians who are also social butterflies. This duo could plan the best parties, craft the best costumes, and all the while keep conversations at peak. They both enjoy discussing visual art, philosophy, politics, social justice, and music.

Cancers love Leos! Leos offer Cancer their two favorite things: emotional support coupled with that classic “yass girl” flair. Moon-ruled Cancer and sunny Leo are natural best pals. Leos appreciate the admiration and offer Cancer endless loyalty and dedication. Lazy Leo also loves to lounge with their Cancerian pals and catch up on Hulu.

Leo loves Libra. Libras are into fashion, fun, and romance. Leo is super into all of those things plus all the compliments that Libra is endlessly dishing out. Flattering a Leo is the best way to be their bestie! Catch Libra and Leo snuggled up on the sofa talking about their crushes every Friday night.

Virgos get along great with Cancers. They’re both picky, but in a sweet way. They can soften each other’s rough edges and explore the world of feelings together. Virgo can help Cancer express their emotions more clearly, while Cancer helps Virgo feel their emotions more deeply. These strong softies love to nurture each other. Find them volunteering together at a no-kill shelter on weekends!

Libra loves Gemini! The conversation is unending with these two. Gem keeps Libra on their toes with activities, adventures, and new friends (Libras love making friends). Together, these besties have the biggest potential for a vast social circle. Neither have a very long attention span, but count on Gemini to keep the texts going by sending Libra all the hot new memes.

Scorpios love other Scorpios. It’s perhaps the single sun sign that’s most compatible with itself. Some would joke and say it’s because Scorpio is hard to handle, too intense, or can be shady. It’s not about any of that. Scorpio knows the value of loyalty and needs their trust to be understood. Fellow Scorps know exactly how to make each other feel secure.

Sagittarius loves Aries. These two fire signs could rule a party, much to the chagrin of any Leos present. Sagittarius loves to talk and so does Aries. They are also both incredibly active folks. Find them at the park breaking a sweat and chatting for hours.

Capricorns love Scorpios. They get together, swap sardonic jokes, trade black clothes, and people watch without end. While their comments may err on the dark side, the two find light in each other’s lives by supporting their endless ambitions and often misunderstood personalities. Find them huddled in a coffee shop corner looking super cool.

Aquarius can be anyone’s bestie to be fair. But they do tend to gravitate towards spiritual Sagittarius. Aquarius seeks the meaning of life and Sag usually claims to know it well. Together they trade philosophies and yoga moves, swap theories on existence, all while jamming out to good beats and sipping matcha tea.

Pisces is the lone wolf of the sun signs. They enjoy their alone time and often, like Capricorns, have to be dragged into socializing. When they’re not alone, you’ll find Pisces enjoying the company of calming yet charming Taurus or clever Gemini. Taurus wins Pisces’ heart with a pizza and Gemini with their ridiculous gossip mill.
