6 | Virgo
iStock / PeopleImagesVirgo may not be the first sign you think of as outgoing, but their natural desire to help others makes them quite sociable, says Ryan Marquardt, astrologer and founder of Ryan's Astrology. They aren't afraid to speak up and are all about offering advice or lending a helping hand when needed.
"As a sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Virgo has a way of connecting with others by sharing knowledge and providing assistance," says Marquardt.
While they live for intellectually stimulating conversation, Marquardt says Virgos also have a hilarious sense of humor. They'll often crack a joke to break the ice and are always up for some fun chitchat.
5 | Libra

This air sign can work any room and always make others feel welcome. "They’re known for their charm and social grace, which makes them proactive networkers who can easily make connections and establish relationships," says Marquardt.
Being ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, makes them naturally very outgoing. "But they also take a proactive approach when it comes to aesthetics as well, often expressing themselves through art, fashion, or by creating beautiful environments and experiences," explains Marquardt.

4 | Gemini

They have no problem being tossed into any situation and making the most of it, says Marquardt. "Gemini can find something to talk about with anybody," agrees Loftis.
They’re known for their witty and light personalities. "They’re the social butterflies of the zodiac, bouncing around wherever the wind wants to take them," says Marquardt. "Geminis are naturally curious and love to engage with others by asking questions—they aren’t shy when it comes to connecting with others or trying to learn something new."
3 | Aries

"They’re ruled by Mars, the planet of action and assertion, which makes them energetic and enthusiastic about living life to the fullest," says Marquardt.
While they can liven up any room, they're not always thinking about those around them. "They might not be the best team player because they don’t usually feel a need to please anyone but themselves," he says. "But you can’t deny that they have a spirited and independent way of living, which usually inspires other people."

2 | Leo
Jacob Lund/ShutterstockNo one will be surprised that Leo is close to the top of this list. While Gemini might be the social butterfly of the zodiac, Leo is the party animal.
"Socially, there is no one like a Leo," says Loftis. "They are charming, fun, and smart, and love being the life of the party."
With the sun as their ruling planet, they shine bright and love being the center of attention. Sometimes it may seem like they are trying too hard, warns Marquardt, but "they often get that spotlight because of their willingness to flaunt their talents," he says. "Their charisma, confidence, and ability to entertain contribute greatly to their outgoing persona."
1 | Sagittarius
iStockIt's no coincidence that the top three slots have gone to the three fire signs. But just by a hair, Sagittarius beats out Leo and Aries as the most outgoing zodiac sign with their adventurous spirit and ability to strike up a conversation with anyone they meet, wherever they happen to be.
"Always ready for a new experience, Sagittarius tends to be bold, friendly, and talkative," says Loftis. "They’ll initiate conversation easily."
Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, growth, and optimism, Sag dives head-first into even the most unfamiliar situations. They love to travel and explore, which Marquardt says brings them into contact with so many people from diverse backgrounds, who they're happy to chat with, share a meal with, or even climb a mountain with.
Life alongside a Sagittarius will never be boring. "They have a way of making even the most mundane of situations feel exciting and new," says Marquardt. "They’re happy to try anything once, so they view life with limitless potential, constantly engaging in new experiences and gaining new insights that feed their soul."
