First Impression Zodiac Signs Vs. When You Get To Know Them 

How you come off to others at first and how you indeed are different things. Your first impression is not your true personality, and most people want to be on their best behavior when they meet a new friend, a potential new client, or on their first few dates.  

And the way you show yourself to others is indicated by your Ascendant or rising sign. Your sun sign can still play some role in how you make a first impression. So let’s now go over your zodiac sign when you give off your first impression vs. when someone gets to know you better.  

Aries – Comes Off As Positive  

Aries, your rising sign will play a significant role in how you come off when you meet someone. However, your sun sign will influence you somewhat. Therefore, you will appear upbeat when someone first meets you. You will appear that way even if you are not having a good day.  

That also means that others will not see your impatient side, as well as your angry side. And if your rising sign happens to be in Aries and you have another sun sign, you will also come off as optimistic, which is why it is easier to make friends with this rising sign.  

Taurus – Comes Off As Someone Reliable 

Taurus, you make a first impression of being reliable and dependable. Therefore, you give off the energy immediately that if you say you will do something, you will follow through. And that could be why so many people want you to organize events or be in charge of something professionally.  

They know you will be the one to take care of what needs to be done. And once others get to know you, you will stay reliable, but they will see your inflexible side too. If your rising sign is Taurus, regardless of your sun sign, you may give off that dependable trait too, but that will look differently if you do not have an earth or water sun sign.  

Gemini – Comes Off As Witty And Friendly 

Gemini, others immediately see you as witty and friendly. You will have clever things to say, and you also have that charm. However, once others know you better, they will see how changeable your moods are and show that you struggle to make up your mind.  

However, your funny and friendly side does stay with you. If you happen to have Gemini as your rising sign, you will come off as chatty and witty, but once again, your zodiac sign will also have an impact, especially if it is not a fire or air sign.  

For example, if your sun sign is intense and mysterious Scorpio, but your rising sign is Gemini, you will come off as witty, but you will ask people questions about themselves more than you are willing to share anything about who you are.  

Cancer – It Depends On The Mood 

Cancer, others see you as highly moody. You will be cheerful if you are in a good mood, or you will be silent and give off the energy that you do not want anyone bothering you if you are not. However, once someone gets to know you, they will see you as the caring and nurturing individual that you are. 

You are all about emotions, so your moodiness will always show up one way or another. And if your rising sign is Cancer, you will also come off as moody or oversensitive, but if you have a fire or air sun sign, you may get over the moodiness quicker.  

Leo – Comes Off As Confident 

Leo, your first impression is that you are confident as you know yourself well, you are comfortable in your skin, and others see that. And yes, others will see you as the one who enjoys the spotlight, but once they get to know you, they will see your warm and generous side.  

You are also highly expressive. If your rising sign is Leo, you will come off as expressive, even more so if you have a fire or air sun sign. However, suppose you happen to have a water or earth sun sign. In that case, you will come off expressive and may even be the one to enjoy telling others what to do confidently, especially if your sun sign is in Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, or Capricorn.  

Virgo – Comes Off As Clean And Reliable 

Virgo, you come off as someone reliable and clean. You always have a neat appearance and give the impression that you not only mean what you say but follow through on your word. Once others know you, they will see that you are analytical and picky about many things. They can see that you have incredibly high standards.  

If your rising sign is Virgo, you will also come off as clean and dependable. Having a fire or air sign will make you charismatic because you appear clean and trustworthy and are more happy-go-lucky and expressive than someone with an earth or water sun sign.  

Libra – Comes Off As Relatable 

Libra, you know you have this charm since relationships and balance are essential to you. That is why you come off as someone who is not only easy to connect with but also relatable. Even if you have a day where you are off-kilter, you can connect with others because when you have those days when you are not so balanced, you come off as relatable anyway since everyone has days like that.  

You are likable; even once someone gets to know you, you are just as likable, but they can become frustrated when you show that you struggle with making decisions. That is not something they will see immediately. You will also appear the same if your rising sign is in Libra regardless of your sun sign.  

Scorpio – Comes Off As Intense 

Scorpio, you are mysterious and intense, and that is how you come off, but not in a way that would scare people away. In fact, you come off in a way that attracts people as potential lovers or business partners will find the level of intensity you emit captivating.  

Once they get to know you better, they will see you have a strong, passionate side but will also find out that you are not the one to mess with at all. You also do not let anyone into your life so quickly unless you know that you can trust them. You will come off that way regardless of your sign, but you will reveal a lot less about yourself if your sun sign is in an earth or air sign.  

Sagittarius – Comes Off As Entertaining 

Sagittarius, you are the one that is the optimist, and you want to see everything from a glass-half-full perspective. And you come off as someone funny and entertaining. You will turn everything into a joke, even if it is inappropriate, but you will immediately apologize if it hurts someone in particular.  

Once they get to know you, they will see that you are adventurous and do not like to stay at home. They will also see that you do not like responsibilities because you do not want anything to tie you down. If your rising sign is in Sagittarius, you will not appear as fun and entertaining if you have an earth or water sign, but you will still appear likable and somewhat outgoing.  

Capricorn – Comes Off As Serious 

Capricorn, you take everything seriously, which is why the first impression you give off when someone meets you is somewhat rigid and serious, especially if you are under 40 years of age, as younger Capricorns are more serious.  

However, others also see you as reliable, especially when you are older. Once they get to know you, they also see how much of a hard worker and diligent you are and how goal setting is important to you. If your rising sign is in Capricorn, you may appear less serious if you have an air or fire sign.  

Still, you will also give off the impression that you are dependable and take your responsibilities seriously.  

Aquarius – Comes Off As Spontaneous  

Aquarius, you march to your own drummer, which is why you come off as someone who likes to live in the moment and be spontaneous. So, for example, whenever you have some thoughts coming into your mind, you will express them even if they are not entirely appropriate.  

And once someone knows you better, they will see how independent you are and how you also embrace your unique side. If your rising sign is in Aquarius, you will come off similarly as you will present yourself as someone who says what they say without worrying about what others think.  

However, if your sun sign is in an earth or water sign, that may temper that trait somewhat.  

Pisces – Comes Off As Kind 

Pisces, you are the one that needs to stay calm, which is why you come off as someone kind to keep everyone calm around you since most will respond gently to kindness initially. And once others get to know you, they will see that you are dreamy, intuitive, and very much into the arts.  

But they will also know that you can become irrational if you become upset. If your rising sign is in Pisces, you will still come off as someone gentle and kind, but it will also depend on your sun sign. For example, you may have a dash of humor or wit if your sun sign is in a fire or air sign.  

First Impression Memories

You may not realize how you come off to others initially. However, what you can do to find out is by asking your friends who you met a while back. Ask them to think back to when you first met them so you can learn about how you came off initially.  

Some may remember, but others may not. And also, remember how your friends first appeared when you initially met them, if you can remember. You will see that there is something to their sun and rising sign and how they appear when you first meet them.
