Are You an Empath? If you can easily feel the atmosphere of a room, or sense others' emotions, chances are good that you may be an empath or an empathetic individual. Empaths and empaths individuals share similar traits but differ significantly as well; Certain zodiac signs have become famous for empathization abilities as half of these zodiac wheel significations pertain to empaths or empaths among their significations!

Empaths are people who are sensitive to emotions in others; perhaps they'll feel overwhelmed when in a busy restaurant or cry when hearing someone discuss their breakup. Are these characteristics familiar to you? If not, allow me to introduce the characteristics associated with Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces which is known as empath sign.

Water signs are highly emotional and intuitive. "Thinking about how water behaves makes it easy to understand why these zodiac signs are empaths," according to Astrologer. "Water dissolves boundaries by entering any environment completely unimpeded before becoming part of it itself."

Astrologer presents seven zodiac signs for empaths who feel what all of us do: water signs can serve as natural emblems of empathy. While empaths tend to identify with water-related zodiac signs, there are others who share an affinity for sensing other people's emotions and energy as empaths as well. Here, Astrologer discusses which zodiac signs specifically are attuned with feelings and energies around them - empaths.

According to Astrologer, there are six zodiac signs empath.

1. Cancer

Cancers, who are ruled by the Moon, which governs emotions, tend to be both empaths and compassionate people, making them adept at reading the energy in any room they enter quickly and intuitively, according to Astrologer. Their ability to read energy quickly makes them natural empaths; an extremely empathetic personality is one of their defining features - both an asset and liability; cardinal water energies may find it more challenging recognizing which emotions belong solely to themselves versus which emotions they pick up from others than usual."

Astrologer believes Cancer moons may be more compassionate than any of the zodiac signs due to their status as nurturers and fierce protectiveness, she asserts. When placed in lunar positions, their feelings become intense and penetrate deeply into one's unconscious. People in such placements usually need psychic security and can more easily absorb energies of family members or friends.

2. Leo

Leo zodiac sign are known for loving to be in the spotlight and can often seem self-absorbed, yet their true nature lies elsewhere - more compassionate and sensitive to feelings and energy than generalization suggests. Anyone lucky enough to experience Leos' warmth will realize they're more than willing to share its light with those around them.

Leos are fire signs and possess an affinity for passionate emotions, particularly issues concerning the soul. "Because Leo rules the heart, they often perform acts of generosity and kindness as part of giving to someone in need," according to Astrologer. It all stems from within them - from deep within.

3. Virgo

One of Virgo's hallmarks is their keen attention to details. According to Astrologer, no detail is too insignificant or subtle for this perceptive and observant Aries; even changes in appearance and energy surrounding them will register subtly; subtle shifts such as tone changes or sudden eyebrow flashes will register and not go ignored by this zodiac sign.

There's a good reason Virgos are considered altruists among their zodiac counterparts; though they might appear critical at times, their deep concern for society's wellbeing drives their actions. "Virgo is known for service-based healing - coming up with remedies and cures to care for those they love as an act of service-based healing," writes Amy Leininger. She adds: "Virgo goes the extra mile by anticipating needs before another can articulate them verbally."

4. Libra

Libra is all about maintaining peace and harmony, symbolized by scales; therefore it's crucial that all energies surrounding this sign remain balanced, with everyone getting what is their due. According to Astrologer "Libra personifies empathy." This makes them not only highly compassionate but one of the zodiac's most compassionate signs.

Libras tend to be good listeners, which may lead them to be accused of being too reactive. "Libra's deep capacity for empathy speaks for itself,". This Cardinal air sign also has an inherent desire for harmony, peace and communication; they remain mindful of other's thoughts, feelings and desires just as they would their own personal wishes - however it's crucial for Librans not to confuse empathy for pleasing others as an aim in striving for peace.

5. Scorpio

Scorpio's character traits include keen perception and an insatiable hunger for truth, making this sign known as the zodiac's detective. They may take an interest in learning all they can about their surroundings but this doesn't happen for selfish motives as would happen with dark empaths; rather they use their empathic skills to make real connections between people; Astrologer states this sign's ability as "an emotional detective of the zodiac," searching for true soulful intimacy as one of its primary aims.

"But in their quest for understanding, Scorpios recognize the emotions and weaknesses of others that can cause them to be easily overwhelmed by both their own feelings as well as those around them, leading them to become rigid about setting personal boundaries."

6. Pisces

As an emotional water sign, Pisces is deeply attached to their emotions. This can lead to them developing an instinctive empathy towards other people's troubles as if they were their own. As emotional processors, this makes Pisces highly sensitive to any energetic fields; with this extra awareness comes an ability to perceive all kinds of environments and identify what is said or unsaid or unseen by those around them," according to Astrologer.

Pisces' spiritual empathy has earned them the status of spiritual empaths, earning them one of their signature characteristics: an emotional intuition borderline between mind and body. Since this emotional intuition borderline between body and mind is so central to Pisces characteristics, it's vitally important that both Pisces Sun signs and Pisces moon signs understand how to set clear boundaries; otherwise they risk becoming immersed in their emotions or those of loved ones and enveloping themselves completely in them.

How can You Determine an Empath Zodiac Sign?

Your sun sign may provide insight into your personality and attributes, but this alone would be insufficient to demonstrate your sensitivity to empathy. Your chart of birth contains multiple planets which correspond with different aspects of your character and life journey, such as how susceptible you are to outside influences such as Neptune and moon placements.

As the moon governs our emotional reactions and inner world, it makes sense that those whose moon signs correspond with one of the zodiac signs mentioned above would be particularly sensitive and kind towards people's sensibilities.

Coke suggests determining whether any planets in your chart belong to Pisces (which is controlled by Neptune in modern Astrology), Cancer or Scorpio - three water signs known for emotional depth and sensitivity, where planets in these signs could indicate strong empathy capacities. According to Astrologer' theory on empath zodiac signs "Cancer, Scorpion and Pisces are considered among the most emotionally attuned of all the zodiac signs; these three make up "super empaths" on this wheel of the zodiac wheel."

The 12th House regulates your subconscious and intuition while also helping to identify your sensitivity. According to Astrologer, spiritual empath Pisces can find great comfort from connecting through this house to aspects such as "spirituality, imagination and dreams".

Taken all together, it is clear that each zodiac sign possesses the capacity for empathy; however, certain zodiac signs are particularly attuned to what might otherwise remain invisible and are adept at channeling it into tangible emotional assistance and awareness. To gain a true grasp on your ability to feel empathy it is vitally important that you understand all dimensions of your birth chart; by understanding this you will become more aware of how best to care for yourself and others when their emotional energy exceeds appropriate limits.
