It’s nice to feel needed every once in a while, but it can get tiring to feel needed all the time.
Maybe you have a friend who sends you every message they send through a dating app so you can tell them what you think.
Or maybe you’re with someone who needs to hear every day that you’re not going to leave them.
No matter what the reason is, this level of neediness can be a problem. Astrology could help you figure out what you’re up against.
Read on to find out what astrologers have to say about the six neediest zodiac signs, which range from a little insecure to totally dependent.
Taurus
As an earth sign, Taurus wants comfort, security, and stability and has a hard time with change.
An astrologer at Mysticsense named Rachel Clare says, “Because of this, any change to the sign’s routine can make them lean on their support systems a lot.”
“This is probably because Taureans have a lot of emotional baggage from their past that they try to hide so they don’t get hurt in the future.”
During a time of change, if you’re dealing with a very needy Taurus, it’s best to take small steps with them so they can adjust on their own.
Scorpio
Scorpios are known for being intense and mysterious, which might lead you to think that they prefer to be alone.
But that tough exterior falls apart when they put all their energy and passion into someone else.
Clare says, “They fall in love quickly and put all of their energy into a possible partner.”
“Once a partner learns how to slowly chip away at Scorpio’s emotional walls, they will find a sensitive and insecure person underneath it all.”
Tara Bennet, an astrologer, clairvoyant, and spiritual coach at Mediumchat, says that jealousy makes people clingy.
“When Scorpio has doubts about your commitment or loyalty, their neediness can become overwhelming.”
Leo
Leo is another sign that seems to know what they want and need. But the neediness comes from the excitement of being the center of attention.
“Because they are ruled by the sun, which is arguably the main character of the solar system, Leos always want to be loved and admired by others, and they get upset if they feel forgotten,” says Clare.
“Their confidence falls apart right in front of your eyes when someone else threatens to steal their spotlight.”
Leos will almost beg for attention and approval when they don’t feel good about themselves, and they’ll cling to you until you give it to them.
Pisces
Pisces is a water sign that is known for being very sensitive and for getting lost in their art.
Lisa Barretta, an author and astrologer, says that this sign, like water, “has no defined boundaries, which leaves them wide open to needing help when they get in over their heads and lose track of real-world things like bills to be paid and promises to be kept.”
Pisces is also one of the most romantic signs of the zodiac, so they are always looking for a fairytale that they probably made up in their minds.
Bennet says that when a Pisces is in a relationship, all they want to do is spend all their time with their partner. “Even the most loyal can’t stand how needy they are.”
This sign will learn to be more independent if they can step back from their feelings and take off their rose-colored glasses.
Libra
Bennet says that Libra is ruled by Venus, which is the planet of love, and that’s why they fall in love so quickly.
“When their feelings get out of hand, they say they love you like water, but their neediness can be very unattractive.”
But it’s not just that Libras love love; they also don’t like being alone.
“The thought of ‘alone time’ scares most Libras. Tara Redfield, an astrologer at Another Day Greener Lifestyle & Astrology, says, “They would rather put up with a bad relationship than be alone.”
Libra is the sign of the scales, which means they are always looking for balance and harmony and will go to great lengths to make sure everyone is happy. This makes them even more needy.
“They are also big people-pleasers who need to feel liked and wanted,” says Redfield. “This can make them more dependent on other people than other signs.”
Cancer
Cancer is a sign that needs comfort and stability to feel safe, just like Taurus. As the zodiac’s caretaker, they love nothing more than to have someone to look after.
Redfield says that this is why they are thought to be too dependent on their partners and even other family members. “They try to meet their emotional needs through the relationships they have with other people.”
Their bad moods also don’t help. “Because the moon is the emotional center of the solar system, they often let their bad feelings get the best of them and fall into deep waves of extreme sadness,” Clare says.
“As a friend, their bad mood and need to be reassured can sometimes get old.”
And if you’re close to a Cancer, you might feel like you can’t give them what they want. Bennet says that the crabs of the zodiac hide their feelings under their shells.
“If they don’t get the help they need, they won’t think twice about leaving message after message until they get your full attention,” she says.
