Empathy is a trait everyone has. But, some people have more empathy (raising my hand)— and are especially open to the emotional output of others.
What exactly is empathy?
Empathy is the ability to pick up on and understand the energy of others, which can be a blessing or a curse.
Empaths actually only make up 1-2% of population. They feel the emotions of others and process them internally.
It seems to be “in” to be an empath and there are a lot of fake empaths that post on social media telling the world how sensitive. Empaths actually only make up 1-2% of population. They feel the emotions of others and process them internally.
Real empaths take it all in and feel the pain, or pleasure, of the world. Fake empaths seek attention and applause for their statements they brag about.
Now, for those who are curious as to which signs are usually empaths, Pisces and her fellow water signs tend to be most sensitive, but there are 5 other signs that tend to be empathetic as well!
6 Most Empathetic Zodiac Signs
1. Pisces (February 19 – March 10)
Pisces is the top winner when it comes to empath signs.
Pisces have it hard enough with being extra sensitive to pleasing people, but you also happen to be a true empath, you’re basically in a nonstop state of anxiety.
You can’t handle it when people you love are drowning in negativity, but you hang around anyway— not because you want it, but because you are compulsive about wanting to help. Once Pisces feels the pain their innate need to help arises.
People are drawn to your most empathetic moon sign because your presence tends to be very calming and peaceful. Try not to look at it as a burden!

2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Did you know that Taurus empaths? You would automatically assume that the sign that is symbolized by the Bull would be stone cold strong, but the Taurus is incredibly sensitive to the emotional output of others.
If you are a Taurus, you merely allow yourself to be there for others. You take in their pain, and your good nature come through. A Taurus is the best friend anyone could have because you’re a true empath and you know how to soothe with love and kindness.
3. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Even though you are a perfectionist, you manage to embrace the empath that you are.
One might consider you cold and hard, but only because you had to protect yourself from being hurt.
However, this is really only a front. You actually feel everything very deeply, especially when it comes to animals.
4. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
There is another empathetic sign that has been told they can be harsh and stubborn, yet the irony is they can also be sensitive.
You want to help, you want to make people happy, and sometimes you push the envelope a little too hard to help.
When you feel a friend is in trouble, you go all out to be there for them. But the thing is, you are often times off-base with your own emotions.
5. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
I know many Aquarius’s that I can totally tell they are empaths!
You treat the world around you like a parent treats a child. You are overly concerned for those around you that are in pain, and you want it over and done with.
You can’t stand the idea of someone being left out or sad, and you spend years trying to make people happy. you can pick it up very easily when they’re not. Aquarius is one of the most compassionate zodiac signs.
Be careful because your anger dulls your empathy and makes you less receptive to those around you.
6. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The last sign, the Gemini, is a true empath, and you don’t like being one.
You have been known to avoid people simply because it hurts to pick up on the pain and anxiety of others. But should someone reach out to you, you will come through for them.
