They lift you up.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Jul 19, 2019
It's a pretty harsh world out there. Everyone turning on everyone, everyone defending what's theirs, attacking what's not, destroying what they don't understand...
These are the days when we long for kindness, for compassion. These are the times where niceness stands out, and the words and actions of kind people are like precious jewels; rare finds that we not only appreciate, but need, desperately.
Luckily, with astrology to help guide us, there are certain zodiac signs who make you feel good about yourself. And these uplifting zodiac signs aren't filled with hate. Many of us don't want to fall into that pit of division and prejudice. And if we're lucky, we attract to ourselves those who will heal us; those who don't want to hurt us. And if we're exceptionally lucky, we draw to us those who make us feel great.
We forgot that we can feel great, and we also forgot that we can make others feel great. That feeling great is a real treat, and that it takes nothing away from us to give kindness, sweetness and hope to another. Hopefully, we won't forget how wonderful it is to make another person feel like a million bucks, and hopefully, we will all once again be able to be kind to our own selves, as well.
1. PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
Pisces will never let you down. If you are feeling down, it's your Pisces friend who will feed you enough laughter that you'll forget your name. This sign, while overly sensitive at times, is also the sign of compassion.
They do care. And they'll take it several steps further: they'll care and they'll make you feel like you're the most special person in the world. Feeling down? Call your Pisces buddy and watch your life change before your eyes, in the best way possible.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Whether it's your ability to lighten the mood with playful antics, or it's your smooth ability to sweet talk anyone into a good mood, you are absolutely on fire when it comes to making people feel good. You are approachable, kind and honest, and you care about your friends and family.
You may be fiercely protective of those you care about, but you are also extremely dependable, and that makes others feel safe, protected and secure.
3. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Fire signs will always make you feel fantastic; it's in their "warm" nature. And Aries, you are the party. You are the one person who can take a situation and totally upgrade it with your effort, your kindness and your intent.
You may be a powerful player in any game you choose to involve yourself in, but your secret talent is that you can make just about anyone on earth feel like a million bucks... maybe even a billion.
4. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
While you wouldn't automatically assume Virgo is a sign that will make you feel like a million bucks, you'd also be wrong. Yes, Virgo is a moody sign that judges and complains, but if you're on the receiving end of Virgo's love and compassion (yes, they are capable of love and compassion), you will know exactly what it feels like to have a staunch supporter.
Virgo will come through for you like none other, and if they truly do love you, you will know it and you will adore it.
5. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You may be pushy and stubborn, but you are the friend who comes through, no matter what. If you are in a bad mood, but your friend is in a worse mood, you will toss your mood to the wind and take care of your friend first.
You are a selfless friend and you'll do anything to make someone you care about feel better about things. You put yourself out willingly, and there are no limits to the amounts of sweetness you bring to the situation.
6. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
When it comes to being the hero, you're the one, Sag. You're the one who will put aside your own cares to make another person feel safe. You're the one who will give your ear to the person who needs to speak; you listen and you wait your turn.
You have the warmth of the fire signs, but also the burning passion for making people feel good. You entertain and you show unconditional love. You have the power to make a person feel like a million (zillion) bucks.
