The Most Generous Thing Each Zodiac Sign Does
It feels good to be generous.
getty Generosity is a wonderful thing. Not only does it do some good for someone else, but it benefits the giver. There are those who are generous all the time and others who go long periods without any selfless action.
Our personalities, how we were brought up, and our own experiences with generosity shape the kind of person we are. Astrology can tell us many things, and it can be helpful when going into a new relationship or friendship to see how the zodiac signs are generous.
Are you supportive and make sure you go to all your friends' shows or art openings? Do you give gifts when there isn’t a reason? Are you always ready to lend a hand when someone needs it?
Some people can’t help being generous and don’t feel good unless they’ve given their time to a worthy cause. Other people can be stingy, and generosity may not come easily to them. But that doesn’t mean they’re not generous at their core, it just means it might take a little more time or persuasion to realize it.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries individuals are generous in the way they support their friends and loved one's projects. Not only will Aries go to your stand-up class showcase, but they'll also share the details of it on their social media.
They won't leave in the middle of the show, even if they get bored, but will be there at the very end to give you a hug and congratulate you, even if you bombed!
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus hates the idea of good food going to waste and the idea of anyone going hungry. One of the most generous things they do is having the server box up their leftovers when they're out for a meal, all so they can give it to someone in need.
If Taurus has a party and there is lots of food leftover, after encouraging people to take some home, they will give the food to a homeless shelter or soup kitchen.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are very generous by nature, and one of the many generous things they do is to mentor people. It's not unlike Gemini to be a big brother or big sister, be a tutor, or offer useful advice for someone interested in the same field they're in.
Geminis have a wealth of knowledge and are happy to share it. They know there's room for everyone and don't feel as if they're giving secrets to a competitor.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are generous with their kindness. They're kind to clerks, customer service people, and fast-food workers — anyone who works with the public.
When someone doesn't get what they want in a timely manner or in the way they want it, it's not unlikely for them to take it out on the person at the bottom. Cancers would never do that and have extreme patience when others would have lost theirs long ago.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are well-known for their generosity, and one of the most generous things they do is to give random gifts. Leos may give a gift to a loved one for no reason or they may buy coffee for the person behind them.
Leos are thoughtful and tend not to expect anything in return. It makes them feel good to be generous and that makes it worth it for them.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The most generous thing Virgo does is give to charity. It may mean donating their services for a benefit or show, or it could mean cleaning out their closets and donating the things they don't use or want.
If there's a collection for toys at Christmas time, Virgo will buy a new toy and donate it. Or, if there's a canned goods drive, they will go to the store and buy a variety of them just so they can give them to a good cause.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
One of the most generous things Libra does is giving people — strangers even — heartfelt compliments. Libras knows that you never know what issues and hardships people are facing, and that sometimes a kind word is all that's needed to brighten a day.
They can always find something to praise someone about without it sounding creepy. It could be what they're wearing or how good they are at their job.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
The most generous thing Scorpio does is helping the environment. It's not unlike Scorpio to join a group that cleans up the beach or picks up garbage on the hiking trail. They will donate money and time to help the planet and are always trying to get others to join them.
Scorpio uses the most sustainable products and was probably one of the first to use their own grocery bag and metal straw.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The most generous thing Sagittarius does is connect those who can help each other. It's not unlike Sagittarius to recommend someone for a job or suggest a partnership between two people who have complementary skills.
Sometimes they are able to see possibilities that people miss themselves. It doesn't have to be a work situation either, as Sagittarius is good at playing matchmaker too.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
The most generous thing Capricorn gives is their time. They'll listen to your problems, help you come up with solutions, and help you to feel better. Capricorns are extremely patient and won't rush you if you need to vent.
If you need tough love, they will give it to you. Whatever you need, if Capricorn can help you get it, they will. It's not as if Capricorn doesn't have a million things to do; they do, but being there for people is more important to them.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
The most generous thing Aquarius does is create solutions. If someone is disabled or needs help in some way, Aquarius may come up with an invention that helps them or finds the answer to a problem that has been bothering someone for ages.
Aquarians have a creative mind and are often able to see solutions where others only see complications and roadblocks.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are generous with their love, and they make people and things feel better and cared for. They have a lot of love to give and it pains them to see people or animals who are hurt and/or abandoned.
A Pisces may volunteer at an animal shelter or senior center. They will do what they can to help, even if it means driving an elderly person to a doctor's appointment or cuddling kittens and puppies at a shelter.
