MASTER LIST COMING SOON

✦ click here to see reviews from my readings + book yours now 🤍

disclaimer: this post is about perception, not personality . being “intimidating” doesn’t mean you’re mean, cold or trying to scare people. a lot of the time it’s other people projecting their own insecurities, assumptions or expectations onto you. these are observations i’ve consistently noticed after reading charts. take what resonates and leave the rest 🤍

✧ scorpio rising / pluto conjunct the ascendant

this is one of the biggest ones i’ve noticed. people often become very aware of themselves around you. they’ll suddenly start wondering if they’re talking too much, if they sound stupid or if you’re silently judging them when you’re literally just existing 😭. you don’t even have to be staring at them. your presence alone can make people feel like they’ve been “figured out.” i’ve also noticed people tend to explain themselves to you without being asked because they feel like you already know something.

✧ saturn conjunct the ascendant / saturn in the 1st house/capricorn placements/saturn square ascendant

people often assume you have much higher standards than you actually do. before they even know you, they’ll think you’re difficult to impress or that you won’t like them. i’ve seen this placement make people apologise for small mistakes around you, become unusually polite or even avoid approaching you altogether because they convince themselves you’ll reject them. the funny part is these people are often much kinder than everyone first assumes.

✧ pluto in the 1st house

there’s something about this placement that makes people feel exposed. i’ve noticed people either become fascinated by them or strangely defensive around them. they often trigger insecurities in other people without saying anything. people can also project authority onto them even when they’re the quietest person in the room. they’re usually the person everyone notices but nobody fully understands.

✧ capricorn rising

people often mistake emotional control for emotional coldness. i’ve noticed others assume these people are judging them, looking down on them or analysing every little thing they do. in reality they’re usually just observing their surroundings. people also tend to try much harder to impress them than they realise.

✧ strong saturn aspects to the sun or mercury

these people often make others think more carefully before they speak. conversations around them can suddenly become more serious because people don’t want to sound uninformed or immature. i’ve noticed others will sometimes correct themselves mid-sentence or over-explain simple things because they unconsciously want this person to think they’re intelligent.

✧ moon conjunct pluto / moon square pluto

these people have a habit of making others accidentally reveal more than they planned. it’s almost like people feel emotionally “seen” around them and then immediately become aware of everything they’ve just said 😭. i’ve also noticed this placement can make emotionally unavailable people keep their distance because they sense this person won’t settle for surface-level interaction.

✧ mercury conjunct pluto / mercury-pluto aspects

people think twice before lying to these individuals. whether that’s actually true or not, others often feel like they won’t get away with dishonesty. i’ve also noticed people become very careful with their wording around them because they feel like every sentence is being analysed. these people often ask one question and somehow everyone starts confessing things.

✧ lilith conjunct the ascendant / lilith in the 1st house

people project onto this placement constantly. some will admire them, some will dislike them immediately and others will become weirdly intimidated without knowing why. i’ve noticed this placement can make people assume they’re more experienced, more confident or more rebellious than they actually are. they’re often misunderstood before they’ve even spoken.

✧ aquarius placements (especially aquarius rising or strong uranus)

people become intimidated because they can’t predict them. i’ve noticed others struggle to figure out where they stand with these people, so they start overthinking every interaction. they’re often described as “hard to read” simply because they don’t react the way people expect them to.

✧ strong 10th house / pluto or saturn aspecting the MC

people naturally assume these individuals are more accomplished, more experienced or more important than they really are. i’ve noticed they can walk into professional environments and people immediately treat them with a level of respect that hasn’t even been earned yet. they give off “they know what they’re doing” energy.

✧ leo rising / leo MC

this isn’t intimidating because they’re loud. it’s intimidating because people notice them. i’ve seen others become much more self-conscious about their own appearance, personality or confidence when these people are around. they often don’t realise how much attention they naturally draw, while everyone else is convinced they’re doing it on purpose.

✧ aries mars / mars conjunct the ascendant

these people often make others nervous because they come across decisive. they don’t usually hesitate much when they know what they want, and i’ve noticed people who struggle with confidence can become intimidated by that. others sometimes mistake their directness for aggression even when they’re just being honest.

✧ overall

one thing i’ve realised after reading so many charts is that the people who accidentally intimidate others are usually not trying to. they’re often just comfortable with silence. comfortable saying no. comfortable not oversharing. comfortable existing without constantly seeking approval. and for people who aren’t used to that… it can feel incredibly intimidating 🤍

Kindly select one or however many piles you feel inclined to and check your pile messages down below🌸

PILE 1 -> 3

PILE 4 -> 6

PILE I: People get intimidated by you because you carry a strong sense of authority, values, and inner certainty. You come across as someone who knows what is right for them and doesn’t easily bend or compromise just to fit in. There’s a structured, principled energy around you that makes others feel like they’re being evaluated, even when you’re not doing anything actively. You may seem traditional, disciplined, or aligned with a higher standard, which can make people feel like they have to “measure up” around you. The intimidation comes from your quiet confidence and the fact that you don’t seek validation from others.

PILE II: People are intimidated by you because your energy feels unpredictable and hard to read. At times, you may come across as someone who holds back, doesn’t fully open up, or seems inconsistent in how you express yourself. Others may feel like they don’t know where they stand with you, which creates discomfort. There’s also an underlying sense that you don’t easily entertain nonsense or superficial behavior, even if you’re not directly saying it. This makes people second-guess themselves around you. Your silence or withdrawal can feel more powerful than words, and that uncertainty intimidates them.

PILE III: People feel intimidated by you because there’s a depth to your pain and emotional experiences that they can sense, even if you don’t openly talk about it. You come across as someone who has been through a lot and has learned hard truths, which gives you a certain emotional intensity. This can make others feel exposed or vulnerable around you, as if you can see through their surface-level behavior. They may feel like they can’t be fake or superficial in your presence. Your energy demands honesty, and not everyone is comfortable with that, which is why they feel intimidated.

PILE IV: People are intimidated by you because your energy can feel intense, impulsive, or hard to keep up with. You may come across as someone who moves quickly, loses interest fast, or doesn’t tolerate slow or stagnant energy. There’s a sense that you do what you want, when you want, without waiting for approval. This makes others feel like they might not be able to match your pace or hold your attention. At times, they may also feel like you’re unpredictable in your actions or reactions, which creates a sense of instability for them. The intimidation comes from not being able to control or fully understand your energy.

PILE V: People get intimidated by you because there’s an imbalance in your energy that they can’t quite figure out. You may swing between extremes, being very calm and composed at times, and then distant, detached, or intense at others. This inconsistency makes people unsure of how to approach you. They may feel like they have to adjust themselves constantly to match your energy, which becomes exhausting. There’s also a sense that you don’t tolerate things that don’t align with you, even if you don’t openly express it. The unpredictability combined with your strong internal standards makes others feel on edge.

PILE VI: People are intimidated by you because of the intensity and depth you bring into connections. When you bond with someone, it’s not casual or surface-level, it feels meaningful, real, and emotionally significant. This can make others feel like they have to show up fully or risk being seen as inadequate. You may also naturally mirror people, making them more aware of their own emotions and intentions, which can feel overwhelming for those who aren’t used to that level of connection. The intimidation comes from the fact that being around you requires authenticity, and not everyone is ready for that.
