Choosing Between a Best Friend and a Crush: Advice for Every Zodiac Sign

Before a girl finds true love, her best friend is often the most irreplaceable person in her life. But when love hits, many inevitably put romance ahead of friendship. So what happens when love and friendship collide? How will the 12 zodiac girls react? Broadly, the outcomes fall into two camps—letting go or holding on—but the paths to those outcomes can be very different. Today, Star Factory - Star Bar takes you into their inner worlds!

It can be tricky when your best friend falls for the same person, though not everyone will face this. What other obstacles might appear on the road to love? Free Ceres reveals the shadow side of romantic fate.

Aries: How could you? Are you still my best friend?!

Aries girls are known for being direct, and when they’re truly upset, they can be fierce. So if an Aries girl discovers her best friend likes the same person, her first reaction is likely anger—Aries isn’t exactly famous for being introspective. She’ll probably blame her friend for competing with her rather than calmly thinking about how to protect their bond. In the heat of the moment, she might even blurt out hurtful words that leave a mark on the friendship.

Taurus: It’s not so bad to chat about the guy we both like!

Taurus girls are steady and mellow; they may not be flashy, but they’re comforting to be around. Anyone who’s friends with a Taurus knows they can be stubborn, yet that same steadiness helps them self-soothe. So even if they both like the same guy, they’ll calmly reassure each other: It’s okay—every downside has an upside.

Gemini: Love is first come, first served!

When it’s decision time, Gemini girls are quick to stake out a clear position because they feel compelled to speak up. They worry that if they wait, someone else will say it first, making their own opinions sound like an echo—which they can’t stand. Likewise, instead of worrying about who has the upper hand, Gemini girls focus on making a strong first impression. So when they realize they like the same person, they’ll rush to shoot their shot.

Cancer: In my heart, my sisters come before any man.

Cancer girls are gentle yet shy. They don’t usually keep a big crowd of friends; they prefer one or two sister-like confidantes. These friendships, though not by blood, feel like family. If something threatens to drive a wedge between them, Cancer girls will often step back from the looming romantic battlefield just to avoid conflict.

Leo: What’s so great about men? I’ll step aside!

Leo girls are the bold leaders of their circles. They care about their image, stick to their principles, and love standing tall in others’ admiration. They would never air personal drama for the sake of romance. With a touch of feminist flair, they refuse to play second fiddle to any man and sometimes celebrate single life with theatrical flair. Faced with two girls vying for the same guy, a Leo is most likely to toss her hair and bow out with confidence.

Virgo: I’ll keep it to myself—if I’m sad, I’ll carry it alone.

Virgos are detail-oriented and empathetic, often sharing in others’ joys and sorrows. Many Virgo girls go along with their best friend’s wishes—not out of obligation, but because they truly care. At the same time, they’re very objective. So when a Virgo realizes she and her best friend like the same man, she’ll quickly map out the worst-case scenarios, weigh the pros and cons, and ultimately choose to stay quiet about it and shoulder the pressure herself.

Libra: There are plenty of fish in the sea! Look over there, sister!

For a socially savvy Libra girl, her best friend is invaluable—but she also believes deeply in love. Those priorities can clash, yet Libra knows how to finesse it: she’ll introduce other eligible men into her best friend’s orbit and gently cheer them on, then let things unfold naturally.

Scorpio: I’d rather break than bend.

Scorpio girls—often admired by the other signs—crave intensity in love. With their high standards, it’s no surprise the man they like might also catch a friend’s eye. Even so, Scorpios won’t sacrifice love for friendship. They seize the moment in romance and trust they can find time to repair the friendship later.

Sagittarius: Why worry? Love and friendship are two different matters!

Many envy Sagittarius girls for their optimism, which shields them from outside turbulence. When they keep things in perspective, upheaval may complicate logistics but won’t weigh on their minds. So if they like the same guy as their best friend, Sagittarius girls will shrug and say, “It can’t be helped,” believing true friendship won’t be shaken—since the outcome is up to the guy, not their bond.

Capricorn: Can’t I have my cake and eat it too?

Whether it’s a career snag or a romantic tangle, Capricorn girls take a pragmatic approach. Pragmatism means maximizing gains while minimizing losses. In the situation of “what if my best friend and I like the same guy,” Capricorns aim to preserve the friendship while pursuing love. They’re also realistic, knowing outcomes can’t be forced. So even if love doesn’t pan out, they won’t let it defeat them.

Aquarius: It’s not my fault for making the first move!

Aquarius girls win close friends not so much through traditional sweetness as through quick wit, creativity, and humor. They value their best friends, but in critical moments they can’t help doing the math: Of course sisterhood matters, but if I “accidentally” make it obvious he’s into me, might my friend bow out early?

Pisces: Let’s compete fairly, each in our own way!

Pisces girls are both kind and gentle, yet they also see love as life’s highest ideal. When those two sides collide, which wins? Even Pisces aren’t sure—their moods shift quickly, and their thoughts can change from day to day. In the end, they often leave it to fate: true love won’t bend to other complications. If he’s meant for me, he’ll show it. Compete or yield—either way is fine.
