Now, my family drives me absolutely crazy. I already have a problem with constantly rolling my eyes, but when it comes to dealing with my family, I feel like I roll my eyes even more – I can’t help it! But no matter how frustrating your own family can be at times, and no matter how much they make you roll your eyes, your family is supposed to make you a little crazy.
Because, even though they can be difficult, you know that they are the ones who will always have your back; the ones you can always count on to be there for you. And family doesn’t always have to be your flesh and blood, either.
If you don’t have a strong relationship with your flesh and blood family, you can always find family in those who mean the most to you. Family doesn’t have to mean you have to be related; it means finding people who feel like home to you.
Your family is your support system, and having a support system you can count on can do a lot of good for you. Having close relationships with your family, or support system can help you lead a healthier, happier life – one that has less stress and more positivity.
So, if you’re the kind of horoscope sign who will choose their family over their friends, you’re doing more than just choosing to stick with the people you care about most; you’re choosing the people who have a positive impact on your life.
Of course, some of us find our support system in our friends, which make us more likely to choose them over family. But for these zodiac signs, it’s family or nothing.
Get in their way of sticking with their family and they’ll show you just how tight those bonds really are. Keep reading to find out which zodiac signs will always choose family over friends.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries is one amazing friend, but give him the option to choose his friends or his family, and he will always choose his family first. He likes knowing that no matter what happens in life, his family will always be there for him. He's definitely the kind of person who believes that friends will come and go, but family is forever.
Passion runs high in this zodiac sign, so expect to see an Aries who is nothing less than intense when it comes to protecting his family. He's the kind of person who will cut you out of his life if you say one bad word about his family; he's THAT serious about them. Everything he's every learned – leadership, honesty, integrity – he's learned from being a part of a strong family and he's not going to let that go anytime soon.
2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is another one of those zodiac signs that will always choose family over friends. While he is an amazing friend, he also believes that life is only worth living when you're surrounded by the best of the best kinds of people. He knows that he can always rely on his family to be there for him, no matter what life throws his way. Friends? Sure, but maybe not as intensely as the family.
That said, when Taurus really loves you, whether you're a best friend or a partner, he will include you into his family. When Taurus makes friendships and relationships, he wants them to last a lifetime. So, even if you might not be his flesh and blood if Taurus thinks of you as his family when you're part of his family – end of discussion. Taurus believes that family is your roots that you can't give up, no matter what.
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer is the zodiac sign that always keeps his home and his family close to his heart. No matter where life takes him, he will always have a tight relationship with his family. I mean, these are the people that raised him, loved him, and taught him how to be the person he is today – of course, he's going to want to keep them as close as possible.
Even if he lives on the other side of the world from his family, Cancer is the kind of zodiac sign to stay connected to his family. His nurturing, caregiving personality makes him a very family-oriented person; someone who believes in always being there to help your flesh and blood. And one day, when he has his own family, he will teach them just how important being close is, as well.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
If you were to ask Capricorn whether family or friends comes first, he will always say family; every time and without hesitation. Capricorn is a very family-oriented zodiac sign who believes that blood is thicker than water – basically, he knows that family is who you're stuck with forever, so you might as well make the most of it. In fact, the family is who Capricorn goes to for everything; advice, help, you name it.
Family is so important to Capricorn that if you're his friend or if you're dating him, one of the first things he'll do is insist that you'll meet his parents. He trusts them so much that if they say one negative thing about his friends or partners, he'll get rid of them. Holidays are also very important to Capricorn because it means he gets to spend quality time with his family. You'll never see a Capricorn missing a holiday, and you'll never see him choose friends over family.
