Most Emotional Zodiacs

1
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Cancers are very in tune with their own emotions and the emotions of others, meaning they have very high emotional intelligence. They’re great at reading a room, and they can always pick up on someone else’s vibes (whether they’re good or bad). Their emotional nature can work against them if they aren’t careful, since getting wrapped up in other people’s emotions can be exhausting over time.^{[1]

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) Pisces are very in tune with their own creativity, and they tend to feel emotions very deeply. They're one of the most sensitive zodiac signs out there. Their sweet, caring nature makes them a great friend to have, but it can also make them get upset on other people’s behalf fairly often.^{[2]

Aries (March 21 – April 19) Often thought of as one of the most emotional zodiac signs, Aries tend to wear their emotions on their sleeves.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Scorpios take everything very personally, and they don’t do well with surface-level conversations (or people). While they tend to feel their emotions very deeply, they often have trouble expressing themselves, which can make them feel a little lonely or isolated at times.^{[5]

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) You may not think of Taurus as an emotional sign, because they’re generally pretty level-headed. While this sign doesn’t like to talk about their emotions, they’re very in tune with their feelings, even if they don’t say it. Since they enjoy the finer things in life, a Taurus will often be upset about encountering imperfect or inadequate things.^{[6]

Least Emotional Zodiacs

1
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) Aquarians tend to be the least emotional of all the zodiacs. While they absolutely experience emotions, they tend to take a step back and view them through a different lens. Even-keeled and steadfast, you’ll never catch this sign crying or talking about what they’re going through.^{[7]

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Capricorns are too wrapped up in their own goals to waste time on emotions. While they definitely feel their own feelings, they see expressing them as a waste of time. They are often poised and professional, which makes them great public figures.^{[8]

Libra (September 23 – October 22) Libras tend to match the emotions of others instead of talking about their own. They’re great at reading a room, and while they do feel their own feelings, they don’t like to make a big fuss about them. Libras will keep the peace no matter what, even if it means burying their own emotions down deep.^{[11]
