Though you may not be a firm believer that your zodiac sign is the sole identifier of your personality, it is understandable why you may use astrology to better understand your character and the character of those around you. There is no trait that every person in the same zodiac looks for in another, but the following may help you recognize different attributes and behaviours that you should look for or did not even realize you wanted from friends.

Aries

If your birthday is between March 21 and April 19, you are an Aries. You are a natural-born leader and ambitious in different aspects of your life. Your friendship green flag is someone who will appreciate your courage to dive headfirst into any challenge and someone who makes you feel valued.

Taurus

Born between April 20 and May 20, as a Taurus you are grounded and serene. You welcome a peaceful and stable environment and look for friends who are dependable, supportive and appreciative of your hard work.

Gemini

Geminis are born between May 21 and June 20 and come with endless curiosity. Your green flag comes in the form of a twin. This person matches your desire to learn, and be playful and quick-witted, without being confrontational.

Cancer

June 21 to July 22 is the birthday that encompasses this zodiac. Cancers are intuitive, intellectual and tend to protect themselves emotionally. What this sign looks for in good friends are attention, affection and emotional security.

Leo

Did someone say loyal? You are a passionate and good-energy Leo if you are born between July 23 and August 22. You see green flags all around when a friend makes you the centre of attention and basks you in the spotlight.

Virgo

If your birthday is anywhere from August 23 to September 22, you are a Virgo. You are logical, a perfectionist and practice methodical and diligent approaches to situations. Your friendship green flags include needing kindness and someone to listen to you. Though you can easily juggle many things at once, you want reassurance from your friends that you are the best.  

Libra

Born between September 23 and October 22, you are the epitome of balance and justice. Libras are known to be logical but indecisive. You love to be loved and desire friends who recognize and express that without needing to be explicitly told.

Scorpio

You are an emotional, mysterious, courageous and wise Scorpio if you are born between October 23 and November 21. You are prideful, so your friendship green flag is a loyal friend who has your back without you needing to ask them for help.

Sagittarius

If you are born between November 22 and December 21, you are a Sagittarius. You are adventurous, creative and seek answers to your many philosophical questions by making connections with others. Your friends need to be spontaneous and support you in being free and independent.

Capricorn

Capricorns are born between December 22 and January 19. You are tough when facing obstacles, dependable, dedicated and hardworking. The green flags you see in friends are a good listener, someone who is mature yet caring and someone who is as ambitious and driven as you are.

Aquarius

January 20 to February 18 is the birthday period for an innovative and progressive Aquarius. You want to make the world a better place, so you appreciate friends who match that focus. Though you need friends who will speak their minds and be honest, you do not want them to cause conflict.

Pisces

You’re a Pisces if your birthday is between February 19 and March 20. Your personality traits include being intuitive, empathetic and curious. You welcome friends who make you feel loved and with who you can be vulnerable around.

Though these personality traits aren’t what every person looks for in a friendship, hopefully, they provided an insight into what each zodiac sign may look for in another. It’s all about self-awareness, and maybe looking into zodiac signs can help you get to know yourself better.
