If you believe that your initial impression of someone is always correct, you may be one of the zodiac signs who is particularly adept at reading people. This talent is all about figuring out what’s going on behind the surface of a conversation, and it certainly comes in useful.
Having said that, an astrologer claims that these three zodiac signs are the greatest at reading people.
1. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
If you’ve always believed you could read a room, Libra, you’re absolutely correct. According to Bell, Libra, the sign of the scales, has a strong sense of justice and morality. They’re also polite and tactful, so you approach each circumstance with the goal of maintaining as much harmony as possible.
Add it all together, and you’re an expert at comprehending diverse points of view, and you’re naturally sensitive to how people feel. “Libra can quickly sense frostiness or an uncomfortable atmosphere, allowing them to adjust their approach accordingly,” her description states.
As an air sign controlled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, you also have a good sense of aesthetics. “This translates into a sensitivity towards others’ emotions and needs, enhancing Libra’s ability to read people,” Bell further notes.
2. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Scorpios can read people within five seconds of meeting them, and their first impressions are invariably correct.
As an intuitive water sign, you’re skilled at picking up on vibes. In fact, Bell claims that Scorpio is one of the most psychic members of the zodiac, which is why everyone jokes that you can read their minds.
It also helps if you have a strong interest in human psychology. Like a scorpion, you want to sit back and observe. According to Bell, this habit is why you’re so excellent at spotting minute, nearly undetectable changes in someone’s tone or body language, as well as seeing through veneers. As a Scorpio, your brain is essentially a built-in lying detector.
3. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
As one of the zodiac’s most responsible signs, Capricorn, you’ve spent years perfecting your ability to read people — and you’ve grown very good at it.
“[The skill] stems from their pragmatic and serious approach to life,” Bell explains. You despise people who squander your time, whether at work, in friendships, or when dating. When you see someone’s shifty conduct, you quickly call it out and back away.
