iStockAs a water sign, it's natural for Pisces to go above and beyond for their loved ones. Rodriguez notes that their joy comes from the act of giving itself, making them deeply selfless individuals.
However, they sometimes have trouble when it comes to setting boundaries. “No is simply not in Pisces vocabulary,” explains Bennet. They’ll disrupt their own plans to make sure someone else’s are going smoothly. Even though it’s not realistic, these fish dream of a world where absolutely everyone is happy.
3 | Virgo
StefaNikolic / iStockNothing excites a Virgo more than getting to help someone out. As the sign of service, they can kick it into high gear if a crisis comes up, and they won’t hesitate to be there when you need them.
“Whether it's helping a friend organize their life or simply being there with a listening ear, Virgos offer a practical form of selflessness that is invaluable,” says Rodriguez. These earth signs have an unmatched eye for detail and can quickly anticipate what you need before you even realize it.

2 | Libra
4 PM production / ShutterstockLibra lives for making others happy and comfortable. They always make sure everyone around them feels valued, and they’ll easily push their own wants aside if it helps them avoid conflict.
Bennet describes them as selfless to the core. Sometimes they might go too far in neglecting their own needs, but caring for others is a must in their book. “If they feel they could have done more and didn’t, they feel very uncomfortable with the situation,” Bennet adds.
1 | Cancer
ShutterstockIt’s no question that Cancer is the most selfless zodiac sign, and Rodriguez goes as far as to say that nurturing is as natural to them as breathing. No one would drop what they’re doing to take care of you like these empathetic water signs. They have a deep love for their family and friends and are usually the glue that holds relationships together.
“The interesting thing about Cancer's selflessness is that it's so deeply ingrained, they almost don't see it as a choice—it's just who they are,” adds Rodriguez.
