The most manipulative thing each zodiac sign does

Some people are easily manipulated, while others are more resistant. Narcissists are great manipulators and only have their own interests at heart, although they may pretend to be disinterested.

According to astrology, the most manipulative zodiac signs can be almost anyone.

And depending on specific personality traits, the manipulative things each sign does vary greatly from person to person.

If your partner is prone to laziness and the only way to get them to become active is to manipulate them, is that wrong? After all, it's in their best interest.

The problem is that if you coerce them and they have not shown any initiative, they may fall back into previous behaviour. It is better if you can encourage or support someone so that their good behaviour comes naturally.

Aries (March 21 - April 19): They stay with you if they want you to do something.

They are manipulative in the sense that they are ruthless and unyielding. They are stubborn and confrontational, so they are not worried about being seen as overbearing.

They don't care as long as they get what they want. They may hide their arrogance behind smiles and moments of fun, but don't be fooled: they won't stop until you get what they want.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Guilt-inducing

They may play the victim, they may tell you a sob story, or they may not even say anything at all, but it seems the world has beaten them up.

They are some of the strongest people around and know how to land on their feet. If they play the victim card, it is probably to manipulate others.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Lies

The most manipulative thing Gemini does is stretch the truth; in other words, they lie.

They may rationalise their lie, saying that it is for the greater good and that there are no other options, but they use the lie as a way of manipulating others. They may say they are going to do something when they have no intention of doing it, or they may say a situation is serious when it really is not.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Makes things seem worse than they are.

Cancer catastrophises things. It's not lying or playing the victim; it just makes things seem worse than they are.

They are not only sad when their partner breaks up with them; they are devastated and convinced that they will never find love again. Anyone who witnesses Cancer falling out of love will do anything to make them feel better.

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Act innocently

The most manipulative thing Leo does is to minimise his behaviour.

Leo's are self-confident, but sometimes their ego makes them do things that can have negative consequences for others. If Leo does something that is a gain for him and a loss for someone else, he will turn it around to make it seem mutually beneficial.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Being passive-aggressive

Virgo is indirect when it comes to their desires and wishes.

They do not always say what they want, but drop hints and make vague, passive-aggressive suggestions so that others think that the idea has occurred to them alone and that they have nothing to do with Virgo.

He is cunning and a bit devious.

Libra (23 September - 22 October): Feigning innocence

When Librans manipulate, they act as if they don't know how to do something or don't have the skills to have someone else do it for them.

Sometimes Libra adds charm and flirtation to the mix for even better results.

If you draw their attention to their behaviour, they will act as if they have no idea what you are talking about.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Demand loyalty no matter what

The most manipulative thing Scorpio does is to make it look like a big mistake to go against them.

You could lose them from your life if you don't play along. It's not unlike emotional abuse and bullying.

All the secrets you have trusted Scorpio with in the past may no longer be considered confidential, and they could make them public if you are against it.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Being too kind

The most manipulative thing Sagittarius does is to be too nice.

You may wonder how being too nice is manipulative, but it is the fact that they are being too nice to get a result.
