6 Zodiac Signs That Are Often Misunderstood Until You Get to Truly Know Them

They say "first impressions are the last impressions." But that might not be true in the case of these zodiac signs.

Being able to make out a person's personality from the first impression is a skill we've all worked extremely hard to perfect, though we make mistakes sometimes. However, there are six zodiac signs that are often misunderstood, no matter how good someone's judgment is.

The most common misconception about Geminis is that they are two-faced liars and manipulators. Most people would tell you not to trust a Gemini with anything. 

However, Geminis are quite the opposite. They rarely lie, unless it's a white lie that is meant to benefit others or reduce their loved one's pain. In fact, they are pretty honest, grounded and more loyal than most people believe.

Many people have the mistaken impression that all Virgos are such perfectionists that they don't know how to loosen up and have fun. Constantly detail-oriented, they believe being a Virgo means being boring and rigid in their ways.

However, Virgos have far more under their surface than many bother to see. They're some of the most loyal, interesting, and fun people to be around. That being said, if someone isn't willing to try to understand them, Virgos aren't going to waste their breath trying to change their mind.

People tend to believe that just because Scorpios can come off as intense and look at things realistically, they're automatically negative and pessimistic. Not to mention, many consider them to be aloof for the sole reason that Scorpios aren't completely open about their feelings all the time. 

When they feel, they feel all emotions intensely and their range is far more than you can imagine. However, the intensity in a Scorpio doesn't mean negativity. Every Scorpio has a light and fun side to their personality, just like everybody else. If anything, they have a great sense of humor and are quite upbeat.

Somehow, Capricorns have earned a bad reputation as workaholics, humorless, and pious. Others seem to think that Capricorns are not interested in sex and don't know how to connect with a partner.

This is far from true. Capricorns tend to be hilarious, exciting to be around and have a definite naughty side. Just because they work hard, it doesn't mean they don't know to play just as hard. When they throw a party, anyone who skips it is really missing out on some good fun. And they too are capable of making mistakes like everyone else.

"Cold", "rude", "aloof"— these are just a few of the words used to describe Aquarians. People have the perception that they are immovable, rigid and indifferent to even the most heart-warming or heart-breaking things. It's for this reason, Aquarians tend to make others mad and not have a clue as to what they did. 

However, those people have it wrong. For the most part, Aquarians are a bit shy, socially awkward and constantly in a state of flux about what to do. What looks like they don't care is actually them getting a bit tongue-tied and confused, even if they do care.

Just because Pisceans are intensely sensitive, everyone seems to think that they're going to drown any minute. There are those too who think they can get away with walking all over Pisceans. 

However, it is exactly because of their sensitive nature that Pisceans have managed to build a strong inner core that helps them navigate life without worrying about others. This zodiac sign is sharper than most people know. They are more than capable of handling themselves in the face of adversity.
