Of course this is a gross generalisation since people are a complex combination of their signs/energies so no behavior can be assigned to just one sign...but in spite of that, I've noticed a few things, like Geminis really need to talk with their hands and Aries have a tendency to lean forward...And they tend to speak a bit faster, with a bit more force and conviction.

Leos touch their hair a lot.
Scorpios are very good with eye contact while Cancers often look away, as if remembering something from the past...

What other little ticks have you noticed?

Also, which sign do you think sticks their tongue out a lot (not totally out, but they kind of bite the tip of their tongue between their teeth? I've noticed this in a lot of Tau/Gems and was wondering if this is a thing?

Sag, Gems also seem to wink more than the others?

People who sit on their hands? Or like to wrap their hands around one thigh while sitting (the leg is semi-crossed over and they tuck their hands underneath??) Some people touch their thighs a lot too...

The Gem/Vir/Sco in me notices all these little behaviors and I just find them fascinating...

Gemini Asc: Lots of hand gesticulation when explaining something.

Yes, the Gemini hand gesticulations are quite notorious and I do this too (Gemini Moon). I know several men who have no Gem Sun/Moon/Asc but have Gem Mercury or Mars and they also talk with their hands. The women seem to use their hands more anxiously though, like if they think they're not being clear, they'll start to gesticulate more and the movements would be smaller, quicker. While the men seem to use their hands as an extension of whatever point they're making and sometimes kind of like a judge's gavel, figuratively hammering home their opinion...So this is apparently very much a Gem thing!

I do also tune out frequently during conversations if someone is talking too long and I find myself needing to inject a comment here or there not to be rude but just to keep myself focused on what they're saying. If we're not allowed to say something every few minutes, our minds will go elsewhere! 😂I'm actually on ADD medication for this, which I hate b/c I feel like it makes me a zombie but also can't function without! 😞

I'm a Leo Asc too and yes, the hair thing is real. I don't twirl my hair but I do touch it a lot (run my fingers through it, always trying to fix it, reposition it) and it is embarrassing. I keep a post-it on my computer screen, next to the camera, that says "Stop touching your hair!" for my Zoom meetings. 😂

Cancer Sun, Cap Moon sq Pluto. I will dead stare you in the eyes. If you look away while: talking to me, shaking my hand or kissing me, you’ll make me think you are hiding something or have somewhere else “more important” to be at which point I’ll lose interest.

My good friend is also a Can Sun/Cap Moon but a Gem Asc, but he's actually very uncomfortable with eye contact. I don't know if he has any Pluto aspects though. And the Gem Asc doesn't help.

Leos are generally pretty good with eye contact though but I find the Leo Suns are better at this than Asc...I think of Bill Clinton and Obama with their Leo suns and the way they look at people right in the eyes when speaking to them. I have Pluto sq. my Leo Asc but I have to work really hard to maintain eye contact...I wonder if it's b/c my Pluto is "weaker" b/c it's in Libra whereas those of the Sco Pluto generation have it made?

One book that I read regarding body language said that the people that do this are contemplatives, thinkers-dreamers.

Also, I dont understand people that look away in a conversation. When I talk, i look directly, very rarely looking elsewhere. I intimidated some of my past classmates because of this

Aries Rising. I do tend to lean forward in conversation. I find it hard to sit way back in a chair whilst talking to someone. I interpret someone who does that to me as showing disinterest or "bored".

I'm a sagittarius sun conjunct pluto, capricorn ASC.

I do this, too, rest my head or chin in my hands. I used to be a big daydreamer.

I’m a Scorpio ascendant, and when I was a teenager, I made a point to look people in the eye, trying to get over my shyness. When I did, they would look away. Leo MC, and I fiddle with my hair, when I’m thinking. Or I press my fingertips against my nails - I picked up that habit when I stopped biting them, but it isn’t much better.

Obviously, my reference pool is very tiny but the handful of heavily Sag guys I know (who don't know each other) seem to love to do this whenever taking photos with 1-2 other people...they'll point at the other person, directing the focus off of them...

If you want to have an important conversation with me, do not speak to me with your voice, because chances are I'm going to forget the contents of said conversation and have to ask about it later. Communicate with me through writing instead so I can look over what we discussed later.

In person, my arms are crossed a lot, my leg is often crossed over a thigh, and I have a limited range of facial expressions.

If I'm nervous or anxious, I sometimes experience involuntary tic movements. Like, my mouth will twitch and I'll turn my head a lot, for example. This is mostly when my anxiety is turned up, but it can happen under moments of stress, boredom, frustration, etc.

My stare can be very intense and focused. I'm not sure how noticeable it is though. It just feels this way to me since I know my stare used to feel different than it does now. This being said, I get distracted easily, which means it's often not wise to assume I'm actually listening. If you've been rambling for five minutes, that probably means I've checked out and I'm in my head.

You can tell when I check out. One of my past therapists could pinpoint this, but I don't know what gave it away. Based on her feedback, my best guess is I seemed like I was in a trance and it showed in my eyes. I still have this tendency when I check out, but sometimes I check out to figure out what to say in response as well.

Speaking as an Aquarius, I will say that I can always spot another person with heavy Aqua placements, because we have a tendency to exhibit a lot of nervous energy. Not necessarily like we're *actually* anxious, but our mannerisms are just very jittery and twitchy, almost like a child's, lol. We can be quite reserved, kinda just observing convos from the sidelines until we see a worthy opporunity to jump in, and then we won't shut up. We also have a tendency to pause in the middle of a sentence, glance elsewhere, briefly think about what we're going to say next, and then continue on. Literally EVERY Aqua-heavy person I've met does this. I've noticed with us that there's a constant, palpable theme of never really being "present" in the body because we're so consumed with what's going on in our heads. The first example of this that comes to mind is Adam Driver (Aqua rising); watch any interview with him and you'll see what I'm talking about.
