Do you know someone that always seems to be in their feelings? Do you happen to be someone that is quite passionate and expressive? There are some people who simply need to express themselves emotionally whether this is through crying or being passionate about their latest endeavors. Emotional expression should not be frowned upon which is why we’ve created this list of the zodiac signs that are most likely to show their emotions. If you think that you could possibly be part of this list, make sure to check your sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars signs as these personal planets channel the energy of our emotional expressions.
Cancer
Topping the list for the most emotional zodiac sign is none other than Cancer. Cancer has received quite the reputation for being the sappy, tear-jerking sign of the zodiac. These individuals are quite in touch with their emotional realm, and they are not afraid to express it. They owe their deeply emotional nature to their moon rulership, which due to the fluctuating nature of lunar energy, can take Cancer on quite an emotional ride. In fact, this is a sign that can literally change emotional expression every 2 ½ days as the moon passes through the zodiac signs. What this means is that if the moon is currently in Sagittarius, Cancer is likely to have a brilliant, happy-go-lucky energy while 2 ½ days later when the moon moves into Capricorn they can all of a sudden become quite serious, ambitious, and controlling. For Cancer, emotions are life, and their ability to tap into their emotional realm allows them to form close bonds and provide the caring, nurturing maternal energy that they are well known for. It also means that cancer can be a bit emotionally erratic especially when they feel emotionally insecure.
Pisces

Cancer’s fellow water sign Pisces also makes the list as one of the most emotionally expressive zodiac signs. Pisces is a bit different from Cancer in that they tend to absorb the energies around them allowing them to take on the energies within their environment. It is one of the reasons why Pisces is known as the empath of the zodiac. Their unique ability to take on the energy within their environment allows them to be able to experience and feel what others are going through…for better or worse. This lack of boundaries creates a situation where sometimes Pisces is picking up on energies that are not necessarily their own. For this reason, it’s very important for Pisces to become aware of what is their own energy as opposed to the energy of their environment and those within it as their highly sensitive nature deeply impacts their feelings at any given moment. The failure to do so can result in Pisces being quite emotionally and even spiritually overwhelmed to the point where they may even seek unhealthy ways to escape all that they are feeling.
Aries
Ruled by Mars, Aries is quite the feeling sign, but in a different way than the water signs. Aries’ feeling nature is fiery with a tendency towards taking action and competition. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is all about striking out and making their mark as pioneers. One of the well-known traits of Aries is their very quick-tempered manner. Because they don’t like being confined or told what to do, that fiery Martian energy is quick to strike out whether it be in an attempt to get ahead in life or express their discontent. Yes, many Aries can be quite hotheaded. However, as quick as they are to get angry and riled up, they’re just as quick to settle down and move on to something else. Used effectively, this impassioned energy allows Aries to be the fearless, innovative warrior that’s ready to take life by the horns with gusto and passion. Just be aware that Aries is direct and straightforward in making their feelings known…even if it means having a temper tantrum to do so.
Leo
Leo is another fire sign that can be quite emotionally expressive. For Leo, emotions are tied to their desire to be seen which results in dramatic displays. When it comes to expressing themselves, Leo shrinks for no one and nothing. Many of these individuals have greater-than-life personalities that get them noticed which is what they want. If they really enjoy something, everyone is definitely going to know about it. From the way they talk to the way they dress to the way they style their hair, their whole persona embodies their confident fiery nature. Similarly, when Leo is not happy about something they can be like a lion roaring in the jungle. Everyone is going to know about their discontent in a dramatic display of emotions. While Aries may be known for their emotional outbursts through temper tantrums, Leo’s emotional outbursts show up as being a drama queen or king. After all, if Leo is going to let everyone know that they aren’t happy, they have to do it in a way that gets them the attention that they desire.
Sagittarius
Rounding out the list of the most emotionally expressive signs is the Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius. This Jupiter rulership expands all energies associated with Sagittarius including their emotional expression. For the most part, Sagittarius tends to stay on the more buoyant, optimistic side of their emotional expression. They don’t really like being bogged down with a lot of negative energy. This happy-go-lucky energy can show up in Sagittarius being the life of the party everywhere they go. Since Jupiter tends to do big things, the abundance of Sagittarius’ emotional nature is expressed with a heartiness in everything from the clothes that they wear to the rich fullness of their laughter. In the same way, this emotional zealousness can also show up as preachiness and haughtiness when it comes to Sagittarius’ belief systems. Also, Sagittarius is quite blunt and honest, so you can be sure that Sagittarius is going to tell it like it is…even if it is perceived as being offensive to others.
Why The Fire & Water Signs?
If you’ve noticed, this list of the most emotionally expressive zodiac signs is composed of water and fire signs. There is a reason for this. The water signs represent the feeling realm of emotional expression that is connected to the energy of deep understanding. You may have also noticed that Scorpio is not on this list even though they are a water sign and are quite emotional. The reason Scorpio is not on this list is that even though they are emotional, they represent fixed water with a preference for keeping their emotional expressions under wraps. Scorpio energy is a perfect example of still waters running deeply. You know when you’ve encountered the energy of watery emotional expression as it calls you to sit with what you’re experiencing at a deep and profound level.
In terms of the fire signs, their emotional expression is fueled by passion. Just think about the energy of fire and what it does. It warms and ignites. The fire signs are an expression of the emotional nature channeled in a way that gets things moving in a way that is felt and seen. You know when you’ve encountered the energy of fiery emotional expression because you actually feel it in a way that motivates, inspires, and gets you moving.
In the end, being emotional is not always a bad thing. In fact, acknowledging emotions offers us the opportunity to get in touch with who we are and express it accordingly. So, whether it’s having a good Cancer cry or the occasional Aries display of emotional frustration, we need people who are willing to live in their emotional authenticity, and these zodiac signs do just that.
