Understanding the Impact of First Impressions in Astrology

First impressions are influenced by planetary positions at birth and can shape initial perceptions. While they often reflect core traits, they may not define a person's true nature. Recognizing this can help you see beyond initial judgments and understand the deeper aspects of someone’s personality.

Ya, the more I think about it, some of my impressions change. It's nice to be surprised or thrown a little off guard. Do you guys try to create a certain 1st impression of yourself? Of course we have to be ourselves, but in every person, there's different parts of us.

Sometimes of my first impressions are wrong,sometimes they're not,I stick around long enough to know for sure.Or the people you hate usually end up being almost just like you as well lol.

Would call this bad judgement then?

"it's weird because every person that we know sees us differently than anyone else we know...I always wonder how many impressions of me there are out there"

I think first impressions are just that 'first' impressions and that tells you very little if anything at all about a person. Not because people are any different than what they appear to be the first time you met them but because you discover more about them which you may like or may not like.
And we do have many sides to us and you're not always in the same place so many different people may perceive us very differently. For example people who don't know me well usually think that I'm verrrrry innocent 😛 Incapable of even coming close to a beer, so much so that when a friend makes comments of some crazy event, they've responded with, "TC? NO TC doesn't drink" but what strikes me is with how much CERTAINTY they say it! It almost makes me feel guilty but it's amusing at the same time...lol And of course some people got it totally backwards and somehow you end up turning into the opposite of what they first thought...? Well I'm right in the middle! lol Unless you take time to know a person you can't jump to conclusions.
One time I went to a seminar which was held about two and a half hours from where I live... anywho there was this woman who I hated the minute she walked in and she ended up sitting next to me... I was talking to the girl on my left and she jumps in 'oh really?' blah blah blah I hate ppl who do that... I had my back to her... I guess apparently she'd had her nose over my shoulder and was listening which I find really annoying. Anyway, point is she wasn't so hateful after all... And in the end I had to thank her because if it wasn't for her I would have made the two and a half hour drive back home a couple of days long instead... I have a tendency to not think ahead but that's another story 🙂 Of course she wasn't any different from what I first perceived but what changed was my dislike towards her. La la la end of story
