1. Virgo

Everyone’s favorite strict but loving mom sign, Virgo isn’t afraid to tell you the truth. While at times they could stand to present it a little nicer, you can’t deny that their advice is golden. They won’t coddle you and tell you what you want to hear- they will tell you what you need to hear, and even how to put things into action. They spend a lot of time analyzing, so if they give you advice then you know it’s been well thought out.

2. Capricorn

When it comes to achieving goals, look no further than a Capricorn. Granted that advice on your career or problem solving are better suited for your Capricorn friend, but even in emotional matters they will present the facts with a clear head. They will ensure that you are grounded before you make a decision, and they will hold you to following through if you ask them.

3. Taurus

Taurus signs can be a bit stubborn, but when it comes to giving advice to their friends, they know how to approach it. Their main concern is ensuring that you aren’t settling or accepting less than you deserve- and that mindset applies to many things in life. Whether it’s relationship drama, work issues, or family situations, your Taurus friend will remind you that you have value and that you shouldn’t allow anyone to treat you any less. Even if they don’t have a perfect answer, they will remind you that your needs matter, which genuinely help make decisions easier.

4. Gemini

Listen, a Gemini may be chaotic, but they won’t let you leave until you’ve examined all the sides. While that can feel overwhelming, it also ensures that you don’t rush into a decision head on without thinking it through. While you may need to make sure your Gemini friends know what you’re looking for (the right answer rather than the most exciting one), it’s beneficial to talk things out with them when looking for advice. They’re intelligent and usually well-rounded in their experiences, so chances are they know something that can help you out.

5. Pisces

Pisces have a distinct knack for giving fantastic advice to others despite that they rarely listen to other’s advice for themselves. They seek to understand your heart as well as your circumstances, and they’re skilled at navigating the waters between emotion and possibilities. They will let you talk as long as you need, and they will listen fully to what you’re saying before offering advice. They tend to be wise beyond their years, so don’t count them out.
