"Deep rivers flow silently." - Haruki Murakami
Not all astrological signs are social butterflies. There are signs that are shy. Some are reserved and quiet, but that doesn't mean they don't have something to offer. On the contrary, this is precisely why they have so much to offer.
Introverted people are full of surprises because they are very good observers. This means that they notice many things that other people do not and can use this knowledge to their advantage.
Shyness does not mean weakness. It just means that the person is not comfortable sharing too much of themselves at any given moment. But if someone crosses their boundaries, they are ready to fight.
Who are the shyest yet most interesting astrological signs and what makes them so?
Cancer
"My feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world." – Dejan Stojanović
The kings and queens of shyness. Cancers are safest under their shells and will quickly run away when they feel they are in danger. They don't like crowds, public appearances, they don't like talking on the phone and meeting new people.
Sometimes they are insecure and shy because of it. They are very private and like to keep to themselves. They are ruled by the Moon, which is very mysterious and where everything is hidden, covered, mysterious, obscure and silent. Cancers are very sensitive and emotional and this explains why they are not fans of crowds. They are empaths and strongly feel the energy of other people.
When they are around people with whom they feel safe (which is very important to them), they become different. Cancer protects those close to them and those they feel need their protection. Then they do not make any compromises, but fight. The people they love are number one in their lives.
A virgin
"Deep rivers flow quietly." – Haruki Murakami
They are perfectionists, which means they think about many things at the same time. Because of this, they are often a bit too demanding of other people. Mainly because they expect the same quality from others as they give themselves.
They often think too much and change their minds several times. They keep their thoughts to themselves due to their fear of being wrong.
Unlike water signs, who express their feelings easily, they do not know when and how to open up. They understand things in a practical way and are therefore sometimes confused about things they cannot articulate (being an earth sign ruled by Mercury). People often see them as reserved and smart people who keep to themselves.
Virgo has an incomparable amount of patience that only extremely mentally strong people can have. But if they feel disrespected, they want nothing more to do with you. Don't test their patience. You don't want to have a virgin as an enemy.
Astrological signs who are shy can be patient, but when their goodwill is abused, they won't just walk away and pretend nothing happened.
Fish
"The mind speaks louder than the voice." – Erin Forbes
Pisces is ruled by dreamy Neptune and their home is the 12th house. That alone gives a lot of clues as to why they are so shy. Neptunian personality traits are very dreamy, soft and fragile. To others, it seems as if they are not of this world. Their 12th house is the house of sleep, death, monasteries, prisons and isolated spaces in general.
By nature, they are introverted and shy people. They like people, but they just don't seem to get along with most of them. However, others love them for their uniqueness. They love the authenticity and the touch of something different that they bring to ordinary life.
This sensitive sign is the most susceptible to the energies around them. Their closed-mindedness, combined with their imagination, sometimes makes it difficult for them to distinguish between imagination and reality. But it makes them brilliant artists.
Once they are on their way, nothing can stop them or convince them that what they are doing is not enough. When they find something they believe in wholeheartedly, they can start a revolution.
There are also signs that are considered strong, but hide an extremely sensitive side
Aries
"Staying vulnerable is a risk we must take if we want to experience connection." – Brené Brown
Aries is the child of the zodiac, full of energy, interest and ambition. He is the type of person who starts the conversation. They are always willing to step outside their comfort zone, sometimes even to the point where it becomes dangerous. He is an extrovert who likes to be around different people. They like to expand their horizons and see what they can learn from each person.
Sometimes they are too reckless and temperamental and have too intense reactions to things that do not deserve such a reaction. They often do not know how to control their emotions. They don't stand still, they move quickly.
Scorpio
"What happens to me can change me. But I don't want it to diminish me. " – Maya Angelou
All water signs are somewhat shy, but Scorpio is different because of the rulership of Mars. They are intense, seductive and allegedly dangerous.
You will quickly notice that they are actually very sensitive and kind people. They want to know too much too quickly and are mainly interested in things that most people consider too personal. After all, they are water signs and should be emotional and yearn for depth.
Scorpio and their dangerous stereotype explains that they are actually resilient; this is what brings the "dangerous" vibe about them. They fall and get up. They are reborn. Throw anything you want at them and they will find a way to bounce back.
They are often best friends with other water signs. Their compatibility is excellent because they are the ones who understand others and their deep emotions and sensitivities without having to explain to them.
Scorpio can look intimidating, but they are loyal and kind. They are someone who would do anything for you to make you happy and feel safe.
Lion
"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change." – Brené Brown
Leo likes to be the center of attention. They like to have things under control. Although they make no secret of being lovable, they like it when people make a little extra effort to get their attention. This can send the wrong message to others as they appear arrogant. They seek attention.
They care about other people and what they think of them. Leos are very generous people who just need to work a little harder to calm their egos.
After all, it is ruled by the sun, and the sun is all about authority, self-expression, dominance, and self-righteousness.
There is no great entertainer without true empathy. This is how we know they are actually sensitive underneath all their pride.
Air signs (Gemini, Aquarius and Libra) they are quite neutral on this topic, as they are blessed with good communication skills and a great interest in everything that surrounds them. They are rarely shy. They are definitely not the most emotional signs and avoid any kind of conflict. They are very confident and sometimes ruthless with their words.
