Like Narcissus, a legendary character from Greek mythology, who was so obsessed with his physical appearance that he died of it, some people are obsessed with their image and appearance in general.
Who doesn't know someone who spends their time meticulously working on their look, frequently looking at themselves in front of the mirror, and taking selfies every 5 minutes?
By dissecting our character traits, astrology manages to detect our strengths and weaknesses through our astrological signs.
And under the impact of planets and stars, some of us would more easily be ruled by vanity, materialism, and superficiality.
Nothing matters more than the appearance, the facade, and the image sent back to others. In their eyes, spiritual consistency will never equal outward beauty or appearance.
This is why many are in a perpetual quest for perfection and will spend lavishly to maintain their beauty and youth. However, it is more often a sign of dissatisfaction, complexes, and inner troubles.
According to astrologers, among all the signs of the zodiac, six of them stand out and are distinguished by giving greater importance to the superficial.
The way the world perceives them outwardly is crucial to them: they have a vital need for recognition and appreciation.
They like to be noticed and attract all eyes to them. It's not that they don't care about internal values, but they are more concerned about their beauty and outward appearance.
Gemini
As much as Gemini is a cerebral person, lively and curious about everything around him, he is obsessed with his appearance to an unimaginable degree.
The slightest pimple on his face can prevent him from going out for a week!
This air sign is obsessed with the gaze of others: their need for recognition is so obvious that they are ready to move mountains to be accepted and loved. So much so that it loses its authenticity.
For fear of displeasing, Gemini prefers to stay in the background rather than say what he really thinks.
And it's not for lack of intelligence: but he has so little self-confidence that he prefers to hide behind a mask of superficiality.
Paying more attention to form than substance, Gemini spends their time talking about trivialities and material.
Money is also one of his favorite subjects: he often spends lavishly just to impress others and draw attention to himself!
And it's a shame, because when you scratch the surface a little, this zodiac sign is so endearing and full of qualities.
He would benefit better from enjoying the simple things in life if he didn't care so much about the approval of others!
Sagittarius
How can Sagittarius be so endearing, funny, adventurous, and at the same time be so selfish and superficial? With its overflowing energy, this zodiac sign does not stay in place.
He constantly needs to move, travel, and discover the world. But is it so much to satisfy himself and to satisfy his curiosity, as to replenish his Instagram account and to show off his exciting daily life?
One would almost believe that he lives in another reality, that he is not really aware of the world around him. Depth and spirituality do not really have consistency in his eyes.
Certainly, living fully in the present moment and enjoying each experience is admirable. But why necessarily look for all that glitters? Why always be attracted only by futility and superficiality?
By dint of being focused on material and appearances, this sign tends to neglect the true values of life. It would be difficult to find a more egocentric person: whether in the professional or social sphere, he always thinks he is better than others.
Also, this unstable and frivolous attitude often drives others away. It is difficult to understand it, to channel it. Whatever happens, he wants to prove to the world that he is the most beautiful, the most interesting, and the most adored.
Leo
Those born under the sign of Leo are often considered the most superficial of the entire zodiac.
Like the king of beasts in the jungle, this sign always feels super-powerful, paying very close attention to its image.
It only exists by attracting the gaze of others. And from head to toe, every detail of his appearance has to be perfect to garner maximum compliments.
This solar and charismatic sign continues to impose its force and its law.
Once a leader, always a leader! Nothing counts more in his eyes than the admiration we should have for him.
Known for having an excessive ego and a superiority complex, this zodiac feline often plays pasha surrounded by a court that must adore and applaud him.
Extravagant and sophisticated, he not only likes to be the center of attention, but he is also into everything that shines. Delusions of grandeur, he knows a lot about it!
Admittedly, he is often brilliant and intelligent himself, but outward appearance and power are a major part of his existence. Everyone must submit to their ideas and desires.
Taurus
At first glance, it is difficult to detect superficiality in Taurus. Because he is an empathetic and caring person, always helpful and ready to listen. Not to mention that he is a workaholic.
But beware of appearances. For, if work does not frighten him, it is not so much to gain personal satisfaction. In truth, it is mainly to achieve a specific goal: living in comfort and pleasure.
Nothing is more reassuring and satisfying for this zodiac sign than living in opulence and luxury.
He often gives the impression of indulging in simplicity, but beware, all he is really interested in is showing the world that he has succeeded, that he has become someone important.
Too bad if he lives beyond his means, but Taurus will afford the best restaurants, go to inaccessible destinations for some, and find luxurious rooms.
Not surprising to find futile things in him, but so comforting in his eyes.
Because, it is there precisely the proof of its success and its material comfort. Taurus is a collector: he can deprive himself of many things, but attach himself to the superfluous and the ostentatious.
Although he is pragmatic and down-to-earth, he likes to impress others, tell extraordinary anecdotes, surround himself with “VIP” people and be part of the elite. In the same sense, beauty holds an important place in her life.
Always well dressed, he is convinced that his appearance is the best weapon to seduce and achieve his goals!
Libra
People born under this sign have a natural predisposition to admire the beauty of things, in any field. Physical appearance, therefore, holds a sovereign place in their existence.
Some can even stay for hours in front of the mirror to perfect their image. Not to mention that they are demanding of themselves! And, it must be admitted, they are often very classy and elegant people.
However, the problem is that they are so obsessed with the external appearance that they forget to cultivate the interior a little. This is why, too often, Libra seems quickly and easily superficial to us.
It seems like everything revolves around nice clothes, nice cars, and designer watches… after a while it gets boring. That's all well and good, but what's behind all the worldliness, luxury, and coquetry?
Above all, there is a significant lack of self-esteem and a real lack of confidence. This narcissist constantly needs the approval of others. Influenced and unsure of himself, he only exists through the eyes of others.
And paradoxically, this pressure that he puts on himself, he also projects onto those around him.
He is very demanding of his relatives, especially regarding physical appearance. To have grace in his eyes, one must always be impeccable and irreproachable!
Virgo
People born under this sign spend a lot of time talking about everything and anything in a superficial way, a bit like Gemini. Very picky and observant, Virgo never misses a single detail.
She often points the finger at trivial things that we don't even notice. This is why she is often called superficial. Her big flaw: she tends to be quick to stop at appearances instead of trying to find out a little more.
But, as everyone knows, clothes don't make a man. By making up her own mind, often preconceived, she remains wary and on her guard. Not to mention that her hasty judgments are rarely tender.
It is difficult to be appreciated by this sign of the zodiac, which is often ruthless with others. However, appearances are often deceiving. By being so indulgent and malleable, Virgo is unlikely to make many friends.
And, rightly so, she much prefers her own company over that of others. Once in society, not only does she criticize wrongly and through, but in addition, she never reveals her feelings.
Instead of sharing her true feelings and highlighting her personality, she will play a role and be very superficial. Therefore, relationships are often inconsistent and fleeting.
Generally, Virgo is perceived as a haughty, rigid, or even futile person. While this is not the case: when we discover the character better, we can be dazzled by her brilliant mind, her strength, and her humor.
If she weren't so obsessed with appearances and focused more on the essentials, she would have a much more rewarding social life.
