Most decent human beings will step in to help a friend in crisis or a family member who’s sick. However, some people possess an innate sense of compassion that extends far beyond the norm. They can tell when you’re having a bad day, bringing you your favorite coffee to cheer you up. Or, they know exactly how to make you feel special when you’ve gotten that big promotion at work. Turns out, this thoughtfulness may be related to their horoscope. Read on to learn who astrologers say are the five most caring zodiac signs.

Capricorns are best known as the pragmatic workhorses of the zodiac, but under that hard and determined exterior is a soft heart.

“Their way of caring will be practical, direct, and without strings attached,” explains Jill Loftis, an astrologer and founder at Nuit Astrology.

For example, say you’ve just found out you need to move next weekend. The Capricorn in your life will show up at your door with a checklist, moving boxes, and quotes from moving companies. They won’t indulge any self-pity, but they’ll do whatever it takes to help.

Libras are one of the most social and friendly zodiac signs, and this is in large part due to how in touch they are with their own feelings, as well as those of others.

“As an air sign, they’re great listeners and advice givers,” says Ryan Marquardt, astrologer and founder of Ryan’s Astrology. “They also prefer to keep things positive, so if you’re having a rough time, they’ll be determined to lift your spirits.”

And since Libra is the sign of the scales of justice, they’re the best at seeing both sides of a situation—something we can all use when we’re having a rough time.

Taurus offers the best of both worlds when it comes to their caring nature. As another earth sign, they have a calming presence and will remain grounded during your time of need. But since they’re so resourceful, they won’t dilly-dally in trying to find a solution to your problem.

“They’ll be realists and look at your current circumstances and use whatever is immediately available to help you out,” says Marquardt.

Just got laid off from your job? A Taurus will help you update your resume while handing over the tissue box to join you in a good cry. And since the sign of the bull is so fiercely loyal, you’ll never have to question their allegiance.

While they can get lost in their own daydreams and fantasies, this sensitive water sign is often thinking up ways to make sure everyone around them feels loved and appreciated.

Loftis describes Pisces as “incredibly adoring, devoted, compassionate, and caring.” As the zodiac’s most intuitive sign, they quite literally “feel your pain.”

This is the friend who calls you out of the blue to check in, on what just so happens to be the day you received bad news. Even if they can’t physically be with you, you’ll feel their caring energy from wherever you are.

Like their fellow water sign, Pisces, Cancer has a deep emotional connection to those around them. “Cancer is a healer, and all they want to do is nurture the people they love to the best of their ability,” Marquardt says.

This empathetic zodiac sign expresses how much they care by showing up at your door with a plate of freshly baked cookies or by inviting you over to watch a cozy movie marathon. In other words, their maternal/paternal instinct is incredibly strong.

But keep in mind that Cancer extends this caring nature mainly to those in their inner circle. And once you’re in, they’ll do absolutely anything for you.
