Which zodiac signs are the coldest? In the ranking below, we will examine all twelve zodiac signs under the magnifying glass and judge them in terms of how cold they are in general.
When you meet someone who appears to be unsympathetic or frigid, such a person can be described as cold as ice. The opposite of such a personality is being warm and nice. Different people have varying levels of coldness and niceness as the case may be. While some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, others are indifferent to the emotions of others.
Since a person’s zodiac sign determines their core personality traits, astrology can give you an idea of whether a person is hot or cold in real life. Here is a ranking of all the zodiac signs based on how cold they are from the least to the most:
Zodiac Coldness Ranking (Least to Most)

- Leo
- Virgo

Warmest to Coldest Signs
1. Cancer
The Cancer sign is ruled by the moon which is the most maternal of all celestial bodies. This fact alone makes people born under this sign quite emotionally attuned. Cancers are not cold at all. Instead, you can expect them to be affectionate and empathic towards other people. Those who have Cancers as friends can be confident that they have a friend that watches out for their best interest. They are sensitive to how others feel and they don’t hesitate to show how much they care, especially to people with whom they share an emotional connection.
2. Libra
Librans are social butterflies that get along really well with people. One of the reasons why they relate well with everyone is because of their warm and passionate nature. People born under this sign are all about maintaining balance and fairness anywhere they are. They won’t stand anyone being treated unfairly. Their natural kindness and sense of harmony make people comfortable around them.
3. Pisces
Pisces people are one of the warmest zodiac signs you will ever come across. They have an idealistic view of the world which means being caring and kind towards others comes naturally to them. For this water sign, emotions run deep. They’re quite sensitive to how other people feel and they’ll go to great lengths to show their affection to their friends and families.
4. Capricorn
When a Capricorn is meeting you for the first time, you’ll probably get the impression that they’re cold and reserved. They may not be as readily affectionate as many of the other zodiac signs at first. However, you’ll begin to see their true feelings when you get close to them. The reason why Capricorns appear closed off at first is probably due to the fact they love to keep a small circle. Once you become close enough to be considered a friend, you’ll see that people born under this sign love to create a loving and secure nest around themselves that everyone can be comfortable inside.
5. Taurus
Taureans are reliable people with very stable personalities. They’re also quite patient and can put up with people with different character traits. Although people born under this zodiac sign don’t usually come off as cold, they’re not perfect either. Like the bull, Taureans can be stubborn and compromising. These traits often make them appear as cold at times. Figuring out how a Taurean truly feels can be a little difficult since they don’t readily show their emotions.
6. Leo
Leos are naturally self-centered. This means they usually come across as only thinking of themselves over others. They also have the tendency to be arrogant and inflexible. But beyond all that, if a Leo feels an emotional connection with some, they can hardly hold back. In this case, they’ll be all warm, cheery, and generous with the person effectively overriding their cold and distant nature.
7. Virgo
The Virgo’s problem isn’t that they don’t feel emotions. They’re simply too practical and overcritical to allow themselves to show these emotions too much. Virgos have a pragmatic personality which means they’ll quickly resolve whatever emotions they’re feeling and focus more on what’s practical. Virgo people also have a tendency to put work ahead of pleasure which further gives them a reputation of being cold and distant.
8. Aries
Aries people are extremely honest and they have an optimistic personality. They don’t know how to draw the line with their honesty though. Ask Aries for an opinion and you’ll be cut deep with a cold and brutally honest answer that may hurt your feelings. They lack tact and diplomacy. This cutthroat personality of theirs is the reason why many people consider them cold.
9. Gemini
Like all aspects of a Gemini’s personality, deciphering whether they’re cold or not can be difficult. This air sign can be warm and friendly with you one time, the next minute, they may begin to act cold and unfriendly. Their personal thermostat switches very readily and they can turn off their charm in an instant. The only silver lining is that the Gemini is never totally indifferent. They do care about people and you can count on their kindness when push comes to shove.
10. Scorpio
The intensity of Scorpio’s emotion is well known. They have a calm and cool nature which makes them likable to people. But beneath the cool outward nature, people burn under this sign and have a lot of emotions bottled within. If provoked, they’ll end up spilling all the bottled-up emotions with a venom that hits really hard at anyone they’re angry at. The Scorpio’s violent tendency is the reason why they rank high on this list.
11. Sagittarius
Sags have a friendly personality and a great sense of income. Your first impression of their personality is probably that they’re friendly and warm. However, Sags also have a tendency to be impatient with people and they can be tactless in their approach to issues. When crossed, Sagittarians can be vengeful and incredibly cold.
12. Aquarius
Aquarians are often considered the most cold-hearted of all zodiac signs, but you probably won’t know it because of their superior social skills. They’re able to hide their cold nature beneath a nice and friendly demeanor which makes everyone feel chilled around them. They tend to avoid feeling or showing any type of gushy emotions.
Conclusion
Whether it’s due to low self-esteem or as self-defense to protect themselves from getting hurt, some zodiac signs are cold towards people. They may appear nice on the surface or act warm towards you, but they’re likely to be cold towards others.
