Has anyone ever guessed your zodiac sign? It's an amazing skill, but mastering it takes research and practice. Not everyone believes that it is possible or that the zodiac has some concrete meaning, but in this article you will be given some tips inspired by those people who deem it doable. Nonetheless, always remember that such advice is based only on sun signs. If we were talking about ascendant or descendant, the speech would be different, since someone's ascendant sign represents the impression they transmit to the skin before being known. Furthermore, there is no mention of lunar signs, which indicate purely intimate aspects of an individual, such as emotions and reactions to certain life experiences. Consequently, keep your ultimate goal in mind as you attempt to determine someone's zodiac sign.

- Astrologically masculine qualities: the people who possess them are independent, very active from the sentimental point of view, rude and selfish; they travel a lot, they prefer to woo and chase. They are energetic, active, stubborn, communicative, self-confident, open-minded, sensual and flirtatious.
- Astrologically feminine qualities: These people prefer long-term relationships and staying at home. They need more sleep, and they prefer to be courted. They are methodical, caring, reliable, kind, stubborn, polite, shy and modest.

Part 4 of 4: Distinguish Between the Signs
Step 1. Look for people who have strong personalities
Are they sure of their habits? Do they manifest distinct qualities that most people don't possess? Do you know well enough the individual whose sign you want to guess? If so, this person might be a good candidate for analysis. On the other hand, ask yourself if he tends to behave differently when he is with others; it may be that she adapts to those around her, instead of showing what her true character is. Is she shy? Is it quiet?
Step 2. Compare it to people you know
Think of the people you know very well and compare them to this individual. Consider many of his character and physical traits, and how he responds in a stressful situation. Compare this information with people you know intimately to be able to guess his sign.
Step 3. Observe his behavior
It is particularly important to analyze his attitude in a conflict situation or when working in a team. One way or another, everyone learns to hide their deepest feelings in public. People generally bring out their astrological traits in intimate relationships and tense interactions.
- For example, when faced with a conflict, Aries' first reaction is to scream or threaten; Gemini talks to get rid of it, Cancers generally respond with an emotional jerk, Taurus with silence and strong posture, and so on.
- Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): These people usually respond to conflicts with bold, decisive and instinctive action in an attempt to emerge victorious from the attack. They are easily motivated to take initiative.
- Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): These people tend to hold back their reactions and respond by saying that the attempt to hurt them was futile. They engage in passive-aggressive behavior or remain silent. They focus on giving a good conclusion to things.
- Changing Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): These people tend to be shrewd in the face of conflict, and are known to try to avoid quarrels. They are good at motivating people.
Step 4. Pay attention to the age of the sign of the person you are analyzing
Aries is considered the youngest sign, while Pisces is the oldest. Younger signs tend to exhibit more impulsive temperaments, and are more selfish and eager to learn than older signs, who are wiser, more compassionate, and less likely to change. Precisely for this reason, they can be described with the expression "old soul".
Step 5. Practice guessing people's signs
Base your predictions on your astrology studies. The average person should have a guess rate of 1/12; although it is low, it is possible to improve. Keep studying this discipline by reading expert books and relying on your own observations, and the results will be noteworthy.
Step 6. Ask the person for the date and time of birth
This will help you verify your guesswork and hone your skills. You can use Google to find a natal chart calculator.
Advice
- It is difficult to tell the difference between Libra and Aquarius. Libra is consciously flirtatious and adds a blatant touch to everything. Aquarius is more independent, and mixes a strong and mature attitude with their proverbial talkativeness and frivolity.
- Sometimes, people demonstrate that they have qualities of a close sign. Virgo is usually shy and reserved, and generally feels attracted to Capricorns and Scorpios. Similarly, Aries and Gemini may feel the same enthusiasm as Taurus for food and drink, but they generally focus mainly on other aspects. It may happen that the conjecture is mistaken by thinking that a person is of the previous or subsequent sign compared to the actual one. The traits of a person's sign emerge when they are in their natural state, at times when they do not behave differently to make a good impression.
- If you fail on the first try, don't give up.
- To practice, guess someone's sign between you and you and then ask them for their date of birth to check if you were right. Most people will think you are talking about this and that and will not think your question is intrusive.
- Each sun sign conveys different vibrations, very nuanced character traits that cannot be expressed in words. Guessing takes a lot of practice, so don't worry if you're wrong at first.
- Fire signs are easily recognizable, but sometimes difficult to distinguish. Leo gives a lot of importance to their image and what others think, but they rarely admit it. However, he is usually strong and confident. Sagittarius knows how to deal with words, is tactful and shy, but has the same energy, ambition and independent attitude as Aries. Aries is youthful, impulsive and aggressive, and only cares about what others think when necessary.
