6 Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Leos may not be the biggest babies when they're sick, but they do constantly crave attention.
"For instance, they like to be pampered and made to feel special, even when under the weather," says Raquel Rodriguez, astrologer and founder of Your Zodiac.
They're also known for being a bit dramatic, so they may inflate their symptoms when they know it will get them a little extra TLC.
5 Aries (March 21-April 19)
Rodriguez explains that Aries can be surprisingly vulnerable when they're sick: "People with this zodiac sign usually display robust energy and a fearless spirit, which could explain why they can become frustrated by any physical limitations caused by illness."
Therefore, they'll do everything they can to bounce back as quickly as possible and will even turn being sick into a competition, declaring their symptoms the absolute worst, adds Tara Bennet, astrologer and spiritual coach at Mediumchat.

4 Taurus (April 20-May 20)
While Tauruses don't need to be constantly doted on, they crave comfort when they're not feeling well.
"For Taurus, being sick requires extra luxury, ordering hearty food, and no expense being spared on making themselves feel better," Bennet says.
They're also incredibly stubborn and think they know what's best for them. Because of this, they might not listen to medical advice, ultimately prolonging their recovery time.
3 Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)
If Pisces has even the slightest inkling that they're ill, they'll be down for the count immediately. Don't expect to see them leave their bed until they're back to feeling 100 percent.
Thanks to their imaginative personalities, these fish tend to exaggerate their symptoms, and they'll need tons of emotional support and care, as well as a lot of reassurance to talk them out of a spiral, Rodriguez says.

2 Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Cancers are sensitive water signs who crave extra love and care even when they're feeling fine. So, you can bet they'll need even more emotional support when they're sick.
"They'll broadcast their illness far and wide, telling the world every symptom," notes Bennet. "Rather than retreating into their shell to recuperate, they seek care and love to help them heal." She adds that homemade soup is their go-to medicine.
1 Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Virgo is undoubtedly the zodiac sign that's the biggest baby when they're sick.
"They are typically very concerned about their health and can become quite anxious about symptoms," explains Rodriguez. "Their careful nature means they might obsess over treatment and worry excessively."
Instead of resting, they'll be looking for answers as to why they got sick in the first place. Don't be surprised if they need you at their beck and call to care for them and help them feel better.
