THE MOST MANIPULATIVE ZODIAC SIGNS
What is manipulation?
Manipulation is a type of social impact that’s targeted to change someone’s behavior or perception through deceptive, and indirect approach.
When it comes to influencing the behavior or emotion of others for a specific aim or reason, they are zodiac signs that are skilled in this act. Some do it unintentionally, and are not aware of this behavior. While some do it deliberately to gain control of a situation, and someone’s emotions. Water signs are known to be manipulative due to their passive aggressive behavior, but it may come as a surprise to you that there are other zodiac signs that are more manipulative than water signs. These signs do it in an astute way, and most people in a relationship with them won’t even realize they are being manipulated.
Different people have different tactics of manipulation, it all depends on someone’s personality. There are certain zodiac signs that can’t resist manipulation because they believe it is the only way for them to stay in control, and achieve their purpose.
Our ego (Sun sign) drives us to manipulation, but our emotions (Moon sign) is what motivate us to manipulate. Hence, individuals with the same sun sign but different moon signs could have disparate manipulative tactics and motive for implementing it. However, this article will be focus on Sun Signs.
Now let’s find out the 5 most manipulative Sun Signs;
1. Gemini
Gemini is one of the most intellectual zodiac signs, they have the gift of gab, and can easily use it to manipulate people to do what they want. Although, their intention is not to manipulate you at first, but their dual personality kicks in when they are trying to gain control of certain situation.
Geminis have a habit of pretending not to listen when you say something to them, but they usually grasp every single word. They are the craftiest zodiac sign, and are always one step ahead and have a flair of accessing any situation. That being said, one of their most manipulative tactics is changing their words and decisions and make you believe it was your idea or you were the main cause of making such decisions.
2. Scorpio
Scorpio is the most mysterious zodiac sign, and their manipulation tactic is the silent treatment. They use it to have power, and control over someone. Individuals with Scorpio placements are usually attracted to powerful people, and situations where they can feel powerful. Scorpios are very attentive, and can be obsessed in studying someone and preying on his/her weaknesses. Their intuitive personality trait makes them great at mind games and are famously known for this. Hence, they could facilely read your mind and strategize their next game plan.
3. Cancers
Cancerians have multiple manipulative tactics, but the most common ones are playing the victim and silent treatment. Cancers are not very straightforward when it comes to getting what they want, they could give the cold shoulder and crawl back to their shell when they are being rejected or things doesn’t go how they want. And they have the ability to stay in their shell for as long as possible or until you reach out to them, this behavior is very manipulative.
Some could defend this behavior as being wanting what’s best for you, and they feel this is the only way for you to understand that. Additionally, most Cancers like to have a pity party after a break up, especially when they can’t let you go. They could have a tantrum to make you feel sorry for them and some actually succeed in this act by guilt trip you to stay in a relationship you don’t want to be in anymore.
4. Pisces
Pisceans are very loving, and selfless, its hard to believe that they are very manipulative. Their manipulative tactics is playing “The good card”, and always make you believe they have your best interest at heart. Pisces are intuitive, this makes it easy for them to read you like a book and can sense when you need them.
I deem they have one of the most dangerous manipulative behavior, reason being it can be subconscious. They make you depend on them emotionally and will always do what’s best for you. This loving, friendly and supportive character traits they possess will make you feel guilty when you don’t meet up with their expectations, or when you refuse their requests.
5. Taurus
Taurus is one of the most responsible and stable zodiac signs, but they do have some weaknesses like every zodiac sign. Apart from being stubborn, and possessive, they are very capable of manipulation. Taurus has a reputation of ‘playing the victim’ when they want something. They are very skilled in changing the context, or turning things around and making you look like the bad guy. Thence, their manipulative tactic is playing the victim card to get what they want, and to avoid doing what you want.
