When it comes to astrology, many people can’t help but refer to the classic zodiac sign stereotypes. People think, if they get a few characteristics right, that they can make generalizations about every individual native to that group. While some personality traits can be true and common for people born at the same period, although not everything is the same for everyone, people are individuals above all and have their own quirks and characters! Plus, we should try to go further than just focusing on the first impression each zodiac sign gives off.

What are the stereotypes of each zodiac sign? - Don't judge a book by its cover…

If you really take the time to get to know people and scratch the surface on who they are, you'll soon understand that they are way more complex than just a simple list of characteristics. If you're at all interested in astrology, you know that each sign has its own set of clichés. Certain personality traits come to mind when we think of a particular zodiac sign. For example, people see Virgos as true perfectionists, while Pisces is known for crying all the time (even though they kind of do). Now, while we like to make fun of them, it's also positive to recognize that we shouldn't rely on the clichés that surround them. We won't go so far as to say that their characteristics are totally false, but they aren’t totally true either. The truth is, our personalities are all very complex, meaning that nothing is truly black or white.

Aries
Misconception about Aries - They are constantly angry
There’s so much more to Aries personalities than their fieriness and aggressiveness, indeed, Aries people are very hard-workers and love using their time productively. Aries can be great thinkers and leaders and have really quite dynamic minds, capable of achieving great things!
Taurus
Misconception about Taurus - They are lazy
Taurus people are stereotypically lazy zodiac signs, stubborn and materialistic, although, don’t worry, Taurus’, we disagree! Taurus people can be slow out of the blocks, but once they get started on something, nothing can stop them, their determination is seriously impressive!
Gemini
Misconception about Geminis - They are flaky
Gemini has a reputation for being unreliable, flaky and even two-faced! In reality, Geminis are very adaptable people; a skill which turns them into social butterflies, who can easily flitter from one group to another. Geminis are very curious and love discovering and learning about new things.
Cancer
Cancers are thought to be whiny
Cancer personality often has a reputation for being very in touch with their emotions, as well as a little whiny! Cancer, we have your back and disagree, okay you are a little sensitive but aren’t we all?! Your ability to analyze past situations and work on yourself is really impressive! You are also the most giving sign!
Leo
Leos are said to be arrogant
The Leo personality is stereotypically very proud and are often very pleased with themselves, hence why they are known as being a little conceited, although their generosity and their big hearts aren’t mentioned; elements that we think are more important. Leos are in fact very protective of their loved ones and love caring for other people.
Virgo
Misconception: Virgo doesn't adapt
The Virgo personality is known for having rigid and even slightly self-righteous personalities, although we happen to disagree! For us, Virgo’s personality is way more complex, we consider Virgos as being intelligent, pragmatic and helpful; you can certainly always count on a Virgo in your hour of need!
Libra
Misconception: Libra is out of touch
Rumor has it that that Libra is idealistic, indecisive and often out of touch with reality, well the truth if that Libras can be dreamy, but it should be known that Libras place a lot of importance on the truth and knowledge. They love the idea of discovering new things and like leading very humble and simple lives.
Scorpio
Misconception: Scorpios are indecisive
Scorpio has a reputation as being all or nothing kind of people, according to the stereotype, you either love them or hate them! Did you know that Scorpios are actually very passionate people, who put their heart and souls into everything they do, whether it be at work or in their personal lives!
Sagittarius
Misconception: Sagittarius hates commitment
Sagittarius has a reputation for exaggerating and being commitment phobes, but the truth is that they have so many goals and a huge bucket list of things they want to do and experience, that they prefer to focus on their goals. These natives are very optimistic and love seeing other people smile, it really brightens up their day.
Capricorn
Capricorn is thought to be boring
Capricorn is often given the title boring, emotionless or even rigid, however the truth is that Capricorns are very focused people and understand that hard work is the key to success, so they choose to put their minds to things to pursue their ambitions! Capricorns are very ambitious and love having objectives in place.
Aquarius
Misconception: Aquarius doesn't like creativity
According to popular stereotypes, these natives love standing out from the crowd and need to express their individuality in all walks of life! It’s true, Aquarius has a real thirst for adventure and independence; nothing scares them! We consider Aquarius as being a free-spirited sign that loves to experience new things!
Pisces
Misconception: Pisces is dramatic
Our Pisces friends are known as the drama queens of the zodiac, ready to throw a tantrum at any minute; don’t worry, Pisces, we agree that this just isn’t you, you are a lot more relaxed than your zodiac stereotype would suggest! Pisces people crave affection and are guided by their hearts, they are often also very one of the most creative signs.
