Having someone to talk to about important things is crucial to your mental health—and these zodiac signs are great at holding space for you.

Listening is a severely underrated trait. Most people are concerned with making sure their voice is loud enough to be heard without doing any listening themselves. When you find the rare gem that knows how to make you feel seen and understood, you don’t let them go—and maybe learn a little bit about how to be a good listener from them, too!

These zodiac signs have mastered the art of listening:

Cancer

When you need emotional support and comfort, a Cancer’s got your back. They thrive when taking care of the ones they care about and will create a safe, nurturing environment for you to open up. They’ll gladly help you take the weight off your shoulders and give you space to be raw, notes YourTango, which is a crucial part of processing any negative emotion. Just be sure not to take them for granted—it’s a lot of emotional labor involved to be there for someone in distress!

Scorpio

Scorpios love gathering secretsabout their friends as they’re fascinated by vulnerabilities and weaknesses, says YourTango, so they’re more inclined to sit still and listen attentively when someone’s spilling their guts. The juicier your problem is, the more a Scorpio will be spellbound by it. However, don’t assume they’re being malicious—a loyal Scorpio won’t break your trust. They might even work in the shadows to get revenge on your behalf.

Virgo

Virgos know how to analyze all the facts and details, so that often means they know where the solution to a problem lies. When you’re done crying to a Cancer or Scorpio, you’ll go to Virgo for action-oriented solutions and resolve what’s been bothering you. They certainly won’t coddle you, but they will always have your best interest at heart, which is why they’ll sit by you and help you craft a plan to get out of the mess you’re in, observes YourTango.

Libra

Libras are excellent negotiators, which means they’re naturally fantastic listeners. Any time you have a problem you’re stressing out about and you need a third party to give you some perspective, a Libra would be happy to help, says YourTango. They’re great at finding a compromise thanks to their instinct for balance and fairness, so you can rely on them for much-needed mediation if you’re in the middle of a conflict with a bestie.
