12 shades of esfp

ESFP and the Zodiac

The difference between astrology and the MBTI is that where astrology prescribes your personality traits, the Myers-Briggs defines your personality type by your self-reported preferences. Many people feel they do, more or less, identify with their zodiac sign, but if they don’t, astrologers can almost always find a convenient rationalization for ‘why’ by examining the natal chart. You are more likely to categorically identify with your MBTI type since it is derived from actual characteristics of real people who share the same preferences as you. At any rate, here is an assessment of how the ESFP personality may vary by zodiac sign.

ESFP Aries

The ESFP born under the sign of Aries is likely to be very outgoing and popular. The ESFP Aries whether male or female is bound to display masculine qualities and a highly independent nature. They are willing to get their hands dirty and handle their own business with minimal reliance on others. The females are likely to be tomboyish and a bit brazen. They love to show off and demonstrate their courage and impress others with their skill. They are likely to also be egotistical and sensitive about being upstaged by their peers. The Aries ESFP might have a tendency to act like the world revolves around them and they may often feel threatened by individuals who upstage them or steal their thunder. The ESFP Aries prides themselves on their abilities many of which may be in the realm of athletics and various physical talents.

ESFP Taurus

In astrology, the sign of Taurus is described as persistent and deliberate and more disposed towards exercising caution and care. They dislike being forced to make decisions quickly and tend to take their time so as to avoid making rash and unwise choices. Of course, these characteristics of Taurus do not match up with the ESFP type who is regarded as someone who is willing and well able to make snappy decisions and be spontaneous. However, Taurus is also a very sensual and materialistic sign who is artistic, indulgent and very in-tune with their senses. The natal chart of an ESFP Taurus is likely to feature a strong emphasis on Leo or the 5th house. Leo may also be their rising or moon sign. Moreover, the ESFP Taurus is bound to be a very sensual being with a special inclination towards environmentalism, possibly holding strong values regarding ethical treatment of animals especially as a source of food. .

The Gemini personality is defined as mercurial and very mentally active. Geminis have a sensitive nervous system and so many of them likely have to avoid caffeine and other stimulants or they will never be able to sleep.
