They're not going to broadcast your secrets to the world.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Feb 21, 2018
Whether it's friends or family, we all need people in our lives who are good at keeping secrets. And hopefully, the people you surround yourself with are zodiac signs who keep secrets. Their horoscope may indicate they are trustworthy, which makes you feel secure.
But we don’t want to tell our secrets to those people who can barely wait a minute to pass along our secrets. You only have to be burned once by someone who didn't keep a secret to make it difficult for us to share our private thoughts and worries.
It’s not great for one’s health to keep everything bottled up, but if someone is going to spread your secrets, the last thing you want to do is share that information with anyone who hasn’t been vetted and proven reliable and trustworthy. It’s not up to somebody else to determine if your private information is okay for public consumption.
Luckily, there are people who understand the concepts of keeping secrets, discretion, and keeping certain information confidential. These are the people that we can trust and open up to without fear of exposure. Are you one of them?
1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
If you confide in a Scorpio and tell them to keep it to themselves, they will never tell another living soul. They will hold on to your confidences forever.
Scorpios feel obligated to keep up their end of a private confidence. They tend to be secretive themselves, so you can be sure if they have trouble telling their own secrets, they certainly won't tell yours.
2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
If anyone knows the importance of keeping a secret, it's Taurus. It takes a lot before a Taurus will confide in someone, so you know they get it. If you need to get something off your chest, Taurus is your person. They'll patiently listen, will offer help if they think you need it, and if you let them know that it's a secret, they will keep it that way, even if they're pressed to reveal it to someone.
Taurus make great secret agents; people can try to get information out of them, but Taurus aren't going to break. Secrets are one time when their natural bull-headedness comes in handy.
3. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
A Virgo will definitely keep your secret, but that doesn't mean that they're not going to try and help you in some way. If it's something in the past, they may try to help you through processing it, and if it recently happened, they will do what they can to solve the problem and make you feel better.
Virgos aren't only really smart, they're trustworthy and reliable. Virgos understand that some things must always stay private.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Not only would a Capricorn never reveal a secret that someone told them, they'd never use that information against anyone, especially in business. Capricorns like to do things by the book and be completely transparent in their actions.
They are very wise, and they know that no good can come from abusing someone's trust by telling their secrets. Think of a Capricorn the same way you'd think of a doctor or a lawyer who is duty-bound not to reveal their client's secrets.
5. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
If someone finds out your secrets, it won't be because Pisces couldn't keep their mouth shut. Pisces actually feel kind of honored and privileged when someone tells them a secret and they'd never want to betray them by telling someone else when they were told not to.
Since Pisces are extremely intuitive, don't be shocked when they already know your secrets before you even tell them. Once you tell a Pisces a secret, it gets locked away in their own personal vault of silence. However, we can say for certain that your secrets won't show up in one of Pisces' creative works.
6. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos understand how gossip has the power to destroy, so they would never stoop to telling someone's secrets. They're loyal, kind, and strive to be the person that people can trust and depend on. Leos have a much easier time of telling their own secrets than telling anyone else's.
Leos know that destroying someone's trust by telling their secrets is no bueno and makes them look bad. Leos don't want to gain a reputation as being loose-lipped or as a snitch. Telling secrets doesn't align with Leo's personal narrative.
