No one does you like you.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Apr 05, 2017
We all have different strengths that make us great in our own unique way.
It might be the way you know exactly what to say when your BFF needs advice about that guy she met last weekend at a bar, or how you can cheer anyone up with a plate of your famous homemade cookies.
These strengths not only make us unique, but they are also what define our zodiac signs.
Your zodiac sign is much more than just your personality. It can include anything from how you think and act to what you’re like in bed.

You don’t always have to believe everything your sign says about you, but there are times you can’t deny that astrology has nailed it once again.
If someone asked you what made you special, would it be easy to think of something or would you have to put some serious thought into it?
If you are a Gemini or a Leo, then you’ve probably spent a TON of time thinking about what makes you so great. But for the rest of us, it can be a puzzler.
Whether it’s because you don’t want to sound conceited talking about yourself or you really don’t think there’s anything all that great about you, it can be hard to pinpoint your own strengths.
That said, asking your friends and family to paint you in a flattering light not only makes you feel good, but it can also help you learn something new about yourself.
Maybe you didn’t know that you were so good at listening to others, but now, you see that’s it’s totally true.
So, for all of us who are still trying to figure out what makes us so uniquely special, look for your zodiac sign below. It might be obvious (or not), but your special trait is why everyone loves you!
