Astrology provides cosmic awareness into our personalities, motives, and impulses. For example, if you want to know why you’re super defensive (hey, Scorpio!), the answers probably lie somewhere in your birth chart. Your sun sign speaks to your core identity, your moon sign represents your most private self, and your rising sign symbolizes your outward attitude and first impressions. For the most protective zodiac signs, understanding the differences between your sun, moon, and rising signs can tell you a lot about why you value stability, and why you’ll do anything to preserve it.

Protectiveness is a personality trait that is present in some extent in every human being. Of course, nobody would want to see their loved ones get hurt and that's where they are most protective. But many people tend to be protective of everybody they know. They take it upon themselves to shield ones they are closest to or are fond of, because it just comes naturally to them. They tend to go out of their way to save them from harm, protect them from people, things, etc. that wish to hurt them intentionally or unintentionally.

Here are the 5 most protective zodiac signs in the astrology chart:

1.Taurus: They Want To Bring You Comfort

If you've ever been in a relationship with a Taurus, whether it be personally or professionally, then you know they can be the most loving and loyal human beings you'll ever meet. When this fixed earth sign commits to something, it's for life. Also, given that their luscious planetary ruler, Venus, governs the finer things in life, they love to spoil the people they love. If you're feeling uncomfortable, Taurus will stop at nothing to change that for you, because their comfort depends on it, too.

“Taurus zodiac signs can be hedonistic, but once they understand their own instincts and patterns, they’re capable of showing endless love and protection toward others,” Dana DeFranco, astrologer and co-host of the Allegedly Astrology podcast, tells Bustle. Whether it’s material possessions or loved ones, you can and will go to great lengths to defend and protect what’s rightfully yours.

Taurus, once you fall in love, you stay in love forever. You are loyal as can be and don’t want anything to ever change. You hope everything always stays the same. You tend to let your emotions and feelings rule your head. You are the one who has always believed in true love, and once you get your heart broken, it takes you an unbelievably long time to allow anyone into your heart again (if ever). You keep your heart the most protected among all signs.

2.Cancer: They're Naturally Maternal

This cardinal water sign loves nothing more than to feed and nurture their loved ones. It could be with plush blankets, homemade cookies, or perhaps even a heart-to-heart sesh where they hear you out and wipe your tears with soft tissues — the sky is the limit. Empathy is an understatement when referring to a Cancer's love language. The crab is a ride-or-die, and they'll protect you until the end of time.

Among the most protective signs of the zodiac, Cancer is certainly the most demonstrative of all. Sensitive, affectionate, even maternal, Cancer natives are willing to do everything to prove their true love to their other half. However, be careful not to suffocate your partner with kisses and cuddles!

Cancer, you are mature when it comes to matters of the heart because you see beginnings and ends of relationships as a natural part of life and do not let yourself get confused by them. You see relationships as a part of life and not your life. Others may think you are cold, but you are strong-willed and know that you shouldn’t get matters of the heart to influence your judgment. Your heart is open to both love and heartbreak.

3.Leo: They Love To See You Smile

I believe the one thing a Leo wants in their lifetime is to create a joyful and fun-filled atmosphere. Majestic with a sunny charisma, this fixed fire sign will stop at nothing to bring a smile to your face — and that includes splurging on your favorite material things. Leos love to spend money and surprise their loved ones with tokens of appreciation. Let them love you, because that's honestly all they want.

Leo, you’re loyal and warm-hearted, which proves why you’re one of the most protective of the zodiac bunch. You’re vigilant when it comes to your friends and family and will jump at any chance to defend them. After all, you’re ruled by the sun, and in the same way, you find purpose in protecting the lives of others. “Leos are always protective of what’s theirs, but sometimes their defensiveness comes off as self-serving,” says DeFranco. “But they can and will defend and protect others in a sincere and selfless way when they’re able to separate their individuality from others.”

All Leo's want is to make their loved ones smile. They tend to go out of their way to surprise their loved ones and make them feel safe and comfortable when they are around. They will stop at nothing when they want to bring a smile to your face.

4.Scorpio: They Will Hold You Close To Their Hearts

While Scorpios are known for their intensity and occasional envy, this powerful yet deeply guarded fixed water sign builds a fort around its heart out of fear of betrayal. This deeply embedded fear can be so consuming, they'd rather play the "lone wolf" card than get hurt attempting to make friends. If you're loyal to them and show them you truly care, they will love and protect you fiercely. Loyal is an understatement for Scorpio. Their love is all or nothing.

Your emotions are one of the most sacred parts of yourself, Scorpio, and you’ll go to the ends of the earth to protect your heart. A Scorpio in conflict “with themselves will be more likely to lie in order to protect themselves,” says DeFranco, adding that it’s nearly impossible to ever fully know a Scorpio. That’s because you take vulnerability seriously, and you’re very selective with who you let in. Your defense lies in protecting your heart and energy.

Scorpios are all-or-nothing people. If you show them that you love and care for them, if you prove your loyalty to them, there is no stopping Scorpios from protecting you fiercely till the end of time.

5.Capricorn: They like to Be as Involved in the people's Life

Capricorns like to be as involved in the people life who they care about. You are extremely nice and thoughtful that way. You also want to always be around to grow and learn from the people you care and admire, which can make you a little clingy and overprotective. You just need to know where to draw the line.

Capricorn, you blame yourself too much when your heart gets broken or a relationship ends. You get obsessive trying to figure out how you could have prevented the end and what you could have changed about yourself. You take a long time to let anyone into your life and don’t tend to consider the chances of it not working out. You overwhelm yourself emotionally by overanalyzing every detail of how it could have worked. That’s why you protect your heart a lot.

Capricorns are very confident that they make great choices and strong decisions, and they don't want someone they care about to make a decision they'll regret. So, Capricorn wants to be involved with all decision-making that their loved one makes so they can troubleshoot if necessary.
