What Kind of First Impression You Make, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Whether it’s a first date or a job interview, first impressions are important. And, for better or worse, they’re very difficult to change. Here’s the first thing people notice about you, based on your Zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

Aries, you have a firm handshake. Maybe too firm? While it’s good to be direct and confident when you meet new people, please remember not to crush their hands.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) 

Although it might surprise you to hear it, Taurus, people tend to think that you’re standoffish, even conceited when they first meet you. You don’t talk very much around new people, but it’s not because you don’t like them. You’re just a little shy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 

Gemini, when people first meet you, they notice one thing immediately: You never stop talking! Although you are witty, smart and entertaining, remember to let other people get a word in edgewise.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 

Anyone who encounters you, Cancer, will rave about what a wonderful listener you are. You have a deep well of empathy that other people appreciate on an instinctive level.

Leo (July 23-August 22) 

Leo, you make an unforgettable first impression thanks to your charming personality. You can win anybody over thanks to your natural charisma and confidence.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) 

When people first meet you, Virgo, they notice how tidy and well-organized you are. Your outfit will be neatly pressed, and you probably have a notebook and pen ready to take notes no matter the situation.

Libra (September 23-October 22) 

Libra, you make a really great first impression 99% of the time–because you agree with almost everything other people say. That’s great to win people over, but be wary about accidentally agreeing to something you’ll regret later.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

When people meet you for the first time, Scorpio, they tend to be intimidated. And that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? You’ve worked hard to cultivate that mysterious, slightly dangerous reputation.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Although you may not come across as very serious, Sagittarius, people flock to your fun-loving personality. You’re great at making friends wherever you go–but job interviews are a little more difficult.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20) 

Capricorn, you project such a strong aura of authority and competence that most people think you’re the boss when they first meet you. That’s not necessarily a bad–although you do get asked for directions a lot.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) 

No matter where you go, Aquarius, you quickly earn a reputation as a firebrand. You are passionate about your pet causes, and you make sure that everyone knows it as soon as possible.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) 

Pisces, no one ever forgets you even after the briefest of encounters. You are one of a kind, and your creativity, passion and unique worldview leaves a strong first impression (but not always the one you want them to have).
