We all have fantasies of being considered the most popular person in the world. But how social are we really? Read on to find out. Don’t forget to check your moon and rising signs as well as your sun sign.

Aquarius, Least Social

Aquarians care a lot about their loved ones. They are always ready to offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, or a hand to hold. However…

They are pretty standoffish around people whom they don’t know. The fixed air sign is also quite content with their own company, so they are not always eager to meet new people.

Capricorn

Capricorn and Aquarius share a ruling planet, Saturn. Saturn governs our protective nature. So naturally Capricorn shares Aquarius’ more mindful traits. That being said…

Capricorns share more than just a caring nature with Aquarius. Like their fellow wintry sign, they are quite content with their own company. However, they are slightly more social than Aquarius because they are more charismatic.

Virgo

Virgo likes being helpful. The mutable earth will go out of their way to offer emotional support or physical assistance to those around them. But…

They like to socialize when they are helping people or when they are working on group projects. But if there are no tasks to assist with, they would rather charge their social battery alone.

Cancer

Cancerians love people. They value chosen and biological family over everything else and they love to provide a safe space for said family. So then why are they ranked so low on the list?

Cancerian are homebodies. They would rather stay in with a good movie and a cup of hot chocolate than go out partying. They are fine if people want to visit them. But they are uncomfortable in crowded settings for prolonged amounts of time.

Pisces

Pisces are very similar to Cancerians, so they will often be ranked close together. The mutable water signs are a bit more outgoing than their cardinal counterparts. They are the most empathetic sign in the zodiac so they understand other people very well. However…

Their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness. Being an empathic person in a crowded group of people can be overwhelming for the mutable water sign. So like Virgo, they need to recharge their social battery on their own.

Aries

The cardinal fire sign loves to be around people. In a large group setting, Aries is often regarded as a little firecracker. But here is the thing about firecrackers…

Firecrackers burn brightly and beautifully. But they burn out quickly. Aries are true ambiverts. They need just as much socialization as they need alone time.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is ranked as the most social of the least social signs. The mutable fire sign sure loves to party. They are the quintessential party animals. They also love to discuss their philosophies with like-minded people. That being said…

Sagittarians tend to be quite broody and introspective. When they get too much in their own head, they prefer to be by themselves so they have room to think. 

Scorpio

Scorpios are just as broody as Sagittarians. And they share a ruling planet with Aries, so they would burn out just as quickly right? Wrong!

Scorpios are the most sensual signs in the zodiac. They love people and they love being around people. Even when they are not actively flirting, they still love to people-watch in group settings.

Taurus

Like Cancer, Taureans are mom-friends who love to provide a safe space for their friends and family. They too prefer to stay at home. However…

Taurus Continued

It’s true that the fixed earth sign prefers to be in their own luxurious and/or cozy home. But they don’t just want to watch a movie while drinking hot cocoa. They love to host parties where they can entertain and cook delicious meals for their loved ones.

Gemini

Geminis are in love with the written word. So you may imagine that they would rather read a book than hang out with their friends. But that’s just not always the case…

Geminis are so erratic that they are easily bored. In a large group setting, if they get bored talking to someone they will just excuse themselves and start talking to someone else. This quirk makes them very social.

Leo

You all knew that Leo was going to rank highly on this list. Some may think that Leos are all about themselves, so they probably won’t care to socialize with others. And here is why those people are wrong…

Leos are the life of the party. Leos do love the spotlight. They also love sharing the spotlight with their loved ones. Sure, they love attention. But they love mingling even more.
