1. Scorpio

Scorpios are mysterious, reserved, and unafraid to embrace the darker aspects of their personality. Their secrecy usually means that people don’t know what to expect from them- they might blow up or be totally calm about a situation. Plus, they don’t allow many people to be close to them in general. It takes quite a bit of effort to get a Scorpio to let you in if you can get past their initial reluctance.

2. Virgo

Intriguing and put together, Virgos are admirable but not always approachable. They are unafraid to put you in your place. They are critical- of themselves and others- so their high expectations tend to cause some hesitation from those who might want to know them better. Virgos have their walls up, and they make it known- they aren’t exactly the most inviting people, and they embrace it.

3. Aquarius

With a reputation for being loners, it’s no shock that these signs aren’t the easiest to engage with initially. Aquarius signs aren’t opposed to being close to people, but they prefer processing their thoughts and feelings alone. When they are interacting with a group, despite the fact they can be charming, they won’t hesitate to call someone out if they believe they’re being ignorant. This can cause people to be cautious in opening up around Aquarius signs- they don’t want to say the wrong thing.

4. Capricorn

Capricorns are typically a no-nonsense sign with a pessimistic habit- they don’t always exude the most friendly vibe. They prefer to observe than engage with others unless there is a specific reason to do so. They don’t go out of their way to make others feel comfortable, though they’ll be polite and cordial. They aren’t the easiest to start a conversation with.

5. Taurus

Taurus signs can be extremely kind-hearted, but they don’t really open up unless they’ve spent a great deal of time with you. They are relatively reserved, and if you don’t make the best first impression on them, they don’t make it easy to approach them. They are particular in who they associate with and with who ends up in their inner circles- and they can be a bit stubborn about it. Getting through their walls takes some serious effort, and while they aren’t known to be exceptionally secretive, they don’t always make themselves the most available.

6. Leo

It’s well known that Leos can be a little over the top- it’s part of their charm. They’re usually pretty self-assured and aren’t afraid to embrace their best sides. Being around them means you either have to match their level of pride or be content to stand to the side. The confidence can be admirable, but can also be intimidating to those who aren’t as confident in themselves.

7. Aries

Aries are usually pretty friendly and do their best to be open to others, and they’re often successful in doing so. However, their bold and occasional over-the-top attitudes can be a bit intimidating to some. Mainly if they are on a rant or engaged in something they are passionate about, they can lean into the aspects of them that aren’t always the most welcoming.

8. Gemini

Geminis are sociable and easy to converse with. They are known to interact with people from all walks of life and hold all types of opinions, and they usually can adapt to make others feel comfortable in their presence. However, their know-it-all tendencies can alienate them from others who aren’t as secure. They like to show off a little with the things they know, and occasionally reach to have the upper hand, which can make them somewhat intimidating to others. More often than not, though, they are easy to get along with.

9. Sagittarius

Brash and free-spirited, Sagittarius signs aren’t afraid to have a good time. They are humorous and try to include others in the fun, and others are often drawn to them. They are the life of the party and want everyone to enjoy themselves as much as possible. They try to keep spirits up and welcome anyone to join in on the fun. Their blunt and gregarious nature can seem much to some, but most of the time, Sags can balance themselves out enough to be likable to everyone.

10. Cancer

Cancers are nurturing and go almost too far to make people feel welcomed and comfortable. They want people to feel safe and free to express themselves freely. Though they are sensitive and can react strongly to something that’s said, it’s usually short-lived. They aren’t afraid to approach people, and they give a warm vibe that draws others in.

11. Pisces

Pisces have a penchant for being emotional, but their empathy still triumphs in what others know them for. They have an uncanny ability to make others feel understood and accepted- and because they enjoy helping others with their struggles, they make themselves as easy to approach as possible. They’re pretty big softies at heart.

12. Libra

Libras are one, of if not the most, likable zodiac signs around. They exude kindness and hospitality and are huge social butterflies. Paired up with their intense dislike of conflict, and tendency to avoid most confrontational situations, they are considered far from threatening or intimidating.
