Zodiac signs: What they seem like versus what they are

Zodiac signs: What they seem like versus what they are

It is really hard to truly judge a person. But their zodiac helps give a slightly better idea about what they really are and why they would tend to be judged as they are.

2/13

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries folks are the people who attract all the attention in the room. People assume them to be confident about themselves and their lives. Sometimes one assumes they are too confident sometimes even arrogant. The truth is, however, they need to be frequently attended to. Once someone manages to move past the image they create, one can see them in a corner by themselves. Aries people are majorly insecure about themselves and worry about others’ opinions of them. They appear adventurous but, on the inside, they are worried of turning obsolete and staying stuck in one place. Hence, they keep adding elements in their lives to stay updated.

3/13

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The people born under this zodiac seem to have their life completely planned and under their control, which they do to some extent. But this very aura of independence that they appear to give off prevents them from getting help. Their struggles are their own and they have almost zero help from the outside. They also are seemingly stubborn, like their sign. While they do not assert any form of dominance nor do they boss everyone around, but once they find something that is what their loved ones need, they follow it without any kind of diversion.

4/13

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini-born people happen to be very social people by nature and never seem to back down from any social events. This sociable side of theirs causes people to assume that they are shallow and superficial. The latter also seems to be supported by their difficulty with long-term commitment. In all honesty, however, Gemini choose to spend their time doing things that would help their growth as an individual, such as reading, keeping up with current affairs, and having a diverse range of hobbies which they are good at. They can’t seem to commit to someone because they don’t wish to do it just for the sake of it. They would happily settle down with someone if they are sure that it’s the right person for them. Until then they just wish to enjoy and live their lives to the fullest.

5/13

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer-born people happen to be fiercely loyal who have other people’s backs no matter what. Even though they will always be available to listen, they could do well without handling everyone’s every problem and they wouldn’t mind some time by themselves. Although they happen to be emotionally sensitive, that doesn’t make them the gullible pushovers they are perceived to be. As they grow more mature, they find out more about the true nature of how they are treated and they end up losing many of those very traits.

6/13

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Many famous celebrities are mistakenly thought to have been born under this zodiac. Hence, this is believed to be the sign of superstars. While Leo-born folk do tend to exude a lot of energy and confidence, they constantly live under the fear of falling behind on life, hence forcing themselves to be on top of their game. Due to how fast paced the world seems to be, they try to keep up with everything, be it social life, technology or fashion. They learn to make all the right connections and make powerful moves so that they don’t lose out.

7/13

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Popularly dubbed “Perfectionists”, Virgos are assumed to be the smartest and most confident of all. They seem to know how to get what they want and rarely seem to get it wrong. But this is not true. They tend to make mistakes as well, the only difference is that they criticize everything wrong they do and make themselves victims of low self-esteem. Even if they end up correcting their wrongs, they feel even more critical about themselves and can never accept themselves for who they are, making them very cautious and unable to live freely.

8/13

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras have a very kind-hearted nature. They are always ready to give, so much so that they appear to be on the verge of sacrificing materialistic happiness to attain bliss and enlightenment. However, this does not make them pushovers who would agree with whatever is said. They might be kind, but they also know how to command leadership, no matter how diverse the crowd is. They are also extremely conscious of how they look, be it just for a simple photograph or for stepping out of their house.

9/13

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpios always seem to give off an image of hypocrisy. They always seem to create dramatic circumstances with respect to their emotions and are also sensitive about whatever mishap comes across their lives. But this is only because since childhood they are taught to keep everything pent up inside, making it a very hard time period for them. But while Scorpio people do not take nonsense from people, they do manage to inspire the others to pick themselves up and stand their ground.

10/13

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

While Sagittarius people honestly tend to be the coolest of all, people consider them to be cranky and rude. They are believed to be highly selfish who don’t care how their words impact others. But in all truthfulness, they wish to break free of society’s norms and sugarcoating things seems to be a part of those norms. They are always moving around, meeting a lot new people as they go and taking them along, dropping them off and moving on without a hitch. Honestly, they do cherish every interaction and do feel lonely. Their inability to express it properly makes them appear cold.

11/13

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns appear to represent what every human being should be like. Emotional signs tend to take pity on Capricorns because of how robot-like they appear. This is because no one works as hard as they do and that makes them emotionally unavailable. They are also unable to express themselves emotionally and tend to distract themselves in work to avoid any emotional dealings. Their concern for other people in their lives is at peak levels and they would hate to let them down. This drives them towards working till their bones tire out.

12/13

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius folks always tend to stand out of the crowd, so much so that they do not even share similarities with each other, except for their shared exclusivity from other human beings. They face no pressure to conform to society’s norms but that also creates a hatred towards being singled out. They do wish to fit in as perfectly as others can but are unable to find any fom of similarities to bond over. This leads to their vibes being misread and it stresses them out a lot.

13/13

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisceans happen to be the most dramatic of all the star signs. They seem to be the crybaby despite all the wisdom they have, and it sometimes frustrates people. But this extra sensitivity is what happens to be their biggest strengths as well. They provide emotional support to those who need it and any empathy shown from them is truly genuine, which is a major help to those who need it. They always try to read the room and read through all sides of the issue, making them easily the wisest in the room, although that much knowledge tends to be too much for one person.
