Every zodiac sign has personality traits that other people notice. These characteristics assigned by astrology make people think about you a certain way — but what you are really on the inside is entirely different.
Here is an interesting low down on what people really think about you versus what you’re really like, based on your zodiac sign:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries, you are a pro at looking calm and collected on the outside. Someone looking at you might come to believe that you never run into emotional waters or get aggressive.
However, on the inside, you might not be as laid back. You are competitive at heart. Your chilled-out vibes turn into a passionate fire whenever you are challenged and nothing can hold you back when you set your eyes on a goal. You are not someone to be messed with no matter how passive she can seem on the outside.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus, you are materialistic and refined. You have aesthetic taste in everything. You will dress to the tee and will always come across as meticulous and extremely detail-oriented.
Because of your high expectations and perfectionist attitude, you may across as snooty and uptight to people but inside, you are down to Earth. Your love for quality is just that — love for quality. It does not come from a place of "you are better than others" or "you want to put others down."
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini, you are quite expressive and edgy. You speak your mind and dress as you please. You come across as a free spirited person who doesn’t care about any one’s opinions.
But inside you have a conflicted sense of what you want and you are not as wild or free-spirited as you portray yourself to be.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer, you are sensitive and caring. You think about others and go out of your way to help them and show how much you love them. You are emotional, soft-spoken and you enjoy giving more than receiving.
You come across as a soft and calm person but you are tough as nails on the inside. You care for people and are selfless but you never let anyone walk all over you. You know who is worth your care and time and you are a pro at shutting out those who don’t deserve your care and attention.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Leo, you are outgoing and bold. You are the first one to take up for any challenge and you show people how it’s done. Your fashion is a style statement and you make heads turn wherever you go.
But on the inside, you are actually more intuitive and creative than most people know. You have a soft, feminine, creative side that you don’t show outwardly.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo, you are a go-getter and an achiever. You are hard working and practical You want everything in perfect order from your hair to your home. You have a million things on your plate and you always look for new projects and ways to improve things.
On the outside, people may perceive you to be very uptight and reserved but you have a party animal inside that just needs the right moment to come out. Once that part of you comes out, there’s no stopping it, you will be the one dancing on the table, buying rounds of shots, and encouraging everyone to dance all night.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra, you believe in living life to the fullest. You are the one who is full of enthusiasm and always take the time to look at both sides of any situation and lead a balanced life.
You exude a "life is a big party" vibe on the outside but inside you are sensitive and emotional. You are sensitive and perceptive to other people’s needs and want more than you would think.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio, you are fierce and passionate. You have a big hunger for life and want to make it big. Your make-it-large attitude also reflects in your fashion sense as you are not scared to go out there and be edgy.
But on the inside, you have a side to you that is laid back and just wants to chill out. Beneath all your dynamism on the outside, you have calm waters running deep inside.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
You're the traveler of the zodiac. You're always on the go and in search of the next stamp for your passport.
What people don't know is that your travels and adventures aren't all about fun. You're in search of a deeper meaning and connection to life, nature, and other cultures.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn, you are mature and responsible. You have a lot of structure in your life and are very detail-oriented. People look up to you for your calm and balanced advise.
But they don’t know you have a goofy self inside. When you choose to let your hair loose, your sense of humor is really contagious and there would be not a person in the room who would not crack up.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius, you are highly intellectual. You have a knack for thinking outside the box and come up with solutions and ideas that can really take people by surprise. You have a curious attitude and you love to travel and explore other cultures.
You may come across as a bit snooty and know it all but on the inside, you are really empathetic and want to help the world. You are very giving and caring and would be the first one to volunteer for any cause. You just don’t display your compassionate heart openly.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces, you are a highly creative person. You indulge in anything that lets you give an expression to your creativity, be it arts, music or poetry.
On the outside, you may appear lost to people, due to being so engrossed in your passion but on the inside, you are highly driven, structured and persistent and you silently keep on marching towards your goal with one-pointed focus.
