Communication is an art.

Effective communication is said to occur only if the receiver understands the message in exactly the same way as it was intended by the sender.
However, all of us send mixed signals sometimes because we are sometimes not sure of what we want in our lives, especially when it comes to dating, which can leave us wondering... does he like me?
According to astrology, there are six zodiac signs that are pros at sending mixed signals.
1. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
“Equilibrium” is the key word that describes people under the Libra zodiac sign.
Librans are the most balanced and diplomatic of all zodiac signs. They are romantic, polite and very friendly.
However, Librans tend to operate on extremes.
Sometimes they will become workaholics and sometimes it would become almost impossible to get work from them. They could be calm and composed one moment and restless and fidgety the next moment. Also, Librans can be extremely indecisive and their opinions of people and situations change too quickly.
It is due to this extreme attitude and fidgety nature that they can’t help but send mixed signals.
2. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
“Curiosity” is the keyword that describes people under the Aquarius zodiac sign.
Aquarians are original thinkers, highly focused and analytical. They are driven by social causes and want to bring a change in the world. They are less on the emotional side and are way too practical and logical.
They are also extremely social and like to travel the world. They can make friends wherever they go and their life is always full of adventure and excitement.
They know how to live in the present and yet plan for their future.
However, their drawback is that they are too idealistic for their own good. Although idealism is a good quality and makes one achieve a lot in life but it also make one set unrealistic standards for oneself and others.
It is due to this perfectionist and idealistic attitude that they struggle to have deeper relationships even if they are surrounded by people all the time.
3. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
“Determination” is the keyword that describes people under the Scorpio zodiac sign.
Scorpions tend to be intuitive, wise and extremely passionate.
They are also very secretive in nature so they will never reveal all facets of their personality to you. They will reveal a little and then pull back and then reveal a little only to pull back again leaving you confused.
Scorpios also have a hard time forgiving and forgetting if you have rubbed them the wrong way.
They can become extremely cold and unrelenting if you mess up with them.
4. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
“Versatility” is the keyword that describes people under the Gemini zodiac sign.
Geminis are fun loving, social butterflies and energetic. Therefore they get bored with one thing very easily. They are always looking for new ideas and new people but they do not dive deep into anything. They are a jack of all trades and can multi-task like hell.
Their only drawback is that they are highly indecisive.
These set of twins simply can’t decide. While a part of them may be totally head-over-heels in love with you, another part of them may find you repulsive.
They do not send mixed signals intentionally to hurt you but they are really confused and do not know how to resolve their own inner struggle and reach a conclusion.
5. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
“Emotion” is the keyword that describes people under the Cancer zodiac sign.
Cancerians are extremely hardworking and have a "never say die" spirit. Once they set their eyes on a goal, there is no stopping them.
They are very intuitive and follow their inner compass and do not pay heed to anyone else’s advice. They are extremely caring, loyal and nurturing.
However, they can also be extremely moody and can go in a shell if they feel hurt. Decisions taken in this moody phase contradict with their caring nature and that can make them mysterious and difficult to understand.
6. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
“Freedom” is the key word that describes people under the Sagittarius zodiac sign.
Sagittarians are like a live wire. They cannot sit idle and love to be on the move. They love to travel and explore the whole world. They crave freedom and do not live with any inhibitions. They are extremely outgoing and fearless.
However, their drawback is that they do not think before speaking and they do not realize that their comments can hurt people around them.
They do not necessarily intend to hurt you but they live so much in their own world chasing their passions that it does not occur to them that their words and actions can hurt other people.
