Learn about astrological masculinity/femininity. It has little to do with being macho or girly. In fact, men with astrological femininity often compensate by acting macho (working out, claiming to be promiscuous or tough) and women with astrological masculinity often compensate by acting girly (wearing girly clothes and makeup, claiming to be emotional).
Astrologically masculine qualities: Loud, independent, dates a lot, travels a lot, energetic, active, headstrong, talkative, confident, open-minded, rude, sexual, flirtatious, prefers to pursue a mate
Astrologically feminine qualities: Quiet, prefers long-term relationships, prefers to stay at home, needs more sleep, methodical, considerate, reliable, kind, stubborn, depends on others, polite, shy, prudish, prefers to be pursued
Here is the approximate ranking of signs from most masculine to most feminine: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Pisces, Cancer, Virgo
Note that Libra and Capricorn are the astrological dandies (50% masculine, 50% feminine) of the zodiac. They tend to like long-term relationships but are quite sexual. Libras are prettier, like to be surrounded by friends and are more active in pursuit of a mate, while Capricorns are more unique looking, prefer to have alone time and prefer to be pursued. Both have a good balance of confidence and sensitivity/empathy, which makes their personalities exceptionally attractive.
Become familiar with the elements.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Physical and active, tends to be passionate, confident, talented, charismatic, in good shape, into sports. In a word, the "doers."
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Physical and passive, tends to be introverted, confident, reliable, consistent, good at sports, enjoys money and power. In a word, the "workers."
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Mental and active, energetic, good with words, optimistic. In a word, the "talkers."
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Mental and passive, emotional or sensitive, likes to read, fantasize, look at art, listen to music. In a word, the "feelers."
Observe their behavior, especially in conflicts or while working in groups. We all learn to hide our inner feelings to some degree while in public. People usually display their astrological traits in relationships and tense interactions. Refer to the element for the nature of the reaction that they will use (for example, Aries' first reaction when faced with conflict is to yell or threaten, Gemini will talk his/her way out of it, Cancer usually responds with an emotional outburst, Taurus responds to conflict with silence and a posture of strength, etc.):
Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): Usually responds to conflict with a bold, decisive, instinctive action in an attempt to trump the assault. Easily motivated to start tasks.
Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): Tends to hold in their reaction and respond that the attempt to hurt them was futile, with passive aggressive behavior or with silence. Concentrates on finishing things well.
Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): Tends to be artful with conflicts, coming up with the perfect thing to say to egg the other person on or make them realize that conflict is pointless. Good at motivating people.
Pay attention to the age of the person's sign, Aries being the youngest and Pisces being the oldest. The younger signs tend to display quick tempers and be more selfish and eager to learn while the older signs are wiser, more compassionate and more set in their ways.
Tips
Fire signs are sometimes difficult to tell apart. Leo cares a lot about his/her image and what other people think but rarely admits it, Sagittarius is good with words, tactful and coy but has the same energy, ambition and independence as Aries. Aries is youthful and aggressive and only cares about what others think when it is necessary.
Libra and Aquarius are difficult to tell apart. Libra is actively flirtatious and adds a theatrical flair to everything. Aquarius is more independent, and mixes a strong, mature attitude with the typical airy talkativeness.
Sometimes people will display the qualities of a neighboring sign. Virgo is usually shy and reserved, but when attracting a mate is necessary, he or she will reach over into Libra or Leo for the tools to flirt. Similarly, Aries and Gemini can be equally as enthusiastic about food and drink as Taurus, but their focus is usually on other things. It's not uncommon for your guess to be one off. A person's sign traits will come out when they are in their natural state--when they are not trying too hard.
Don't jump to conclusions. Astrological traits are usually quite glaring. If a girl says, "I'm mad at my boyfriend for breaking up with me and I want to get back at him," that's normal human emotion. If a girl says, "Do you remember that guy we met at the party last year who wouldn't stop talking? He just wouldn't shut up. I hate it when people do that," that's a Scorpio-like trait. Similarly, lots of people like food, but a Taurus will often keep jars of candy or treats nearby for visitors to snack on.
People born on the cusp (usually between the 19th and 25th of the month) tend to display qualities of both the neighboring signs. People born close to the solstices and equinoxes tend to have the qualities of both neighboring seasons.
For practice, guess someones sign to yourself and then ask their birthday to check and see if you're right. Most people will think you are small-talking and not think anything of it.
Warnings
Don't go around guessing people's signs indiscriminately. It's weird. There's a right place and time for this kind of thing.
Some people think astrology is evil and others think it is a myth, so be careful whose sign you guess.
