Keeping a friend group together long-term is no easy task. As people get older, move away, change jobs, or go back to school, it makes it tougher to maintain a connection — and just like that, you all lose touch.

While it’s natural for some friendships to fade away over time, certain members of the zodiac aren’t going to stand back and watch it happen for no reason. In fact, many are the natural glue of their friend group and will do whatever it takes to keep everyone close. If the group chat goes silent, they’ll notice right away and kick off a conversation, make a plan, or insist on getting a girl’s trip in the works.

For some, it’s all because they naturally prioritize relationships. They’re never too busy to reach out or get everyone excited about a vacation. They know that sending a TikTok or cute dog pic is often enough to maintain a bond, especially in a hectic period when everyone’s too busy to hang out IRL.

Other zodiac signs are pro planners, and that’s what helps them keep their friendships alive. If it seems like everyone’s drifting away, they’ll send a Partiful invite and then continue checking in until they get your RSVP. That type of tenacity earns them lifelong friends, as well as groups that stay together no matter what. Here are the three zodiac signs that are the true glue of their friend groups.

If your friend group has survived various ups and downs, there’s a good chance a Cancer has been pulling strings in the background. As an intuitive water sign, Cancers are good at taking the “emotional temperature” of a room, and that means they won’t let anyone bail on the group due to something silly like a minor disagreement.

Is someone feeling left out? They’ll reel them back in. Are two friends bickering? They’ll play the role of peacemaker and smooth everything over. It’s impossible to ghost a group chat when a Cancer is involved. If they sense that everyone’s starting to lose touch, they’ll host a cozy get-together as a way to remind you all why you became friends in the first place.

As a sign ruled by the emotional moon, Cancers are also deeply nostalgic — and they use it to their advantage. If your friend group is starting to have less in common, they’ll keep it alive by sharing inside jokes or posting stories from your past. It’s why they’re still best friends with all their coworkers from their first job, as well as their college roommates. A Cancer won’t let you drift away. Not on their watch.

A friend group can’t fall apart when there’s a Virgo in the mix. This earth sign is a natural organizer of the zodiac, which means they’re always going to plan reunions, fun vacations, and other get-togethers that keep a social circle intact.

Having something to look forward to is, after all, one of the best ways to maintain a close-knit group, especially when your busy lives threaten to pull you apart. It can be so easy to stop talking if one of you is getting married, another is having a baby, and another is going off to grad school. But if you have a girls’ trip coming up in a month? Well, you’re bound to stay in contact.

Virgos are also ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, which means they’re pros at sending texts and keep convos going for years on end. This friend will also create fun group chats based on everyone’s interests — often with cute names like Movie Club or The Brunch Bunch — so that you always have something new and fresh to talk about.

Libra (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21)

A Libra can sense when a friend group is about to fall apart. They’ll pick up on subtle signs, like an eerily quiet chat or a decided lack of brunch dates on the horizon, and they won’t like it one bit. Without thinking twice, they’ll send a burst of texts and demand everyone get together ASAP.

As an air sign, Libras have a knack for socializing and making sure everyone stays up-to-date on each other’s lives. They’ll send happy birthday texts to the group chat, check in with friends who have started to stray, and plan blowout parties that give everyone something to talk about for months to come. They’re good at injecting new life into a group that’s been besties for ages.

Libras are also ruled by Venus, which means their relationships mean a lot to them. Even if a friend group is as strong as ever, they’ll still do the most when it comes to making sure everyone feels loved and included. It’s why they often have friendships that last a lifetime.
