Friendship is ridiculously important. I bet you and I can agree there's nothing more beautiful than opening your heart and letting someone enter it. No matter how difficult life has been for me, I always found friends in the most unexpected places who have helped me through it. Even when I've felt all alone with my pain, my friends have proven me wrong. At the end of the day, human beings are social creatures who crave connection from the depths of their souls and there are millions of ways to be a friend. Let's talk about the type of friend you are, according to your zodiac sign, because you bring something so special to the table.

Of course, in order to have good friends, you have to be a good friend, too. Although friendship requires you to put in time and effort, it's always worth it in the long run. While everyone has their own definition of friendship, I personally value loyalty, empathy, and a willingness to have fun above all other things. And you know what? My birth chart supports these sentiments. So, if you're wondering what type of all-encompassing pal you are, read the descriptions for your sun, moon, rising, and Venus signs. Chances are, you're a different type of friend to so many different people.
