The most cunning zodiac signs ranked

You think you know your friends, but do you really know them? The most cunning zodiac signs are often those who you think you’ve got all figured out—until they are hurt so deeply that they turn into your own personal hell. These signs possess a sharp mind, strategic expertise and an uncanny ability to manipulate situations in their favour. Whether through charm, intelligence or secrecy, the most cunning zodiac signs know what they want… and exactly how to get it. Scrolls on to see if you’re on here:

Pisces

Move over, Joe Goldberg—a jilted Pisces redefines the highs and lows of the darker spectrum of emotions. Usually dreamy and playfully swaying with the wind, this sign can be the most lethal and obsessive, even a tad over the top when it comes to emotional neglect and letdowns resulting from their hopelessly romantic ways. On the flip side, threaten their loved ones and they are capable of planning the perfect murder.

Sagittarius

Who even needs Narcissa Malfoy when you have self-obsessed Sagittarians tripping on their own power and superiority? While they are super fun to be around, their constant need for dopamine hits and adrenaline rushes can make them seem ruthless and disconnected from reality. Sagittarians can really propel themselves into places of power and enjoy making others dance to their tunes—very consciously and disconcertingly.

Gemini

A Gemini’s innate intelligence, curiosity and playful demeanour can often be overtaken by a heightened sense of materialistic greed. Think Tony Stark and you’ve got their alter ego all figured out. Their need to escape conflict at any cost—even if it makes them seem fickle—is another dusty feather in their hat. However, absolutely nothing dampens the passionate love affair between a Gemini and their zest for life.

Leo

Their love for the limelight and always being right can tip them over to the other extreme, where they can come across as being too picky for their own good. This could leave them to only explore new fish in the sea, without any real connection to see them through the tough times. Robin Scherbatcky from How I Met Your Mother is the perfect example of a Leo who is vivacious, bold, initiating and daring, with a tinge of being commitmentphobic and self-absorbed.

Aries

They are with you… until they are not. Meet Aries—the fiery, feisty, impulsive, controlling and competitive zodiac sign that has Monica Geller written all over it. They can be fiercely loyal, empathetic and contemptuous all at once, plotting ways to prove you wrong. Their combustive energy usually makes them susceptible to temper tantrums and meltdowns. They don’t usually have the patience to plot elaborate schemes, but push them too far and they’ll have no trouble devoting all of their energy towards taking you down.

Virgo

If words could kill, Virgos would make great assassins. They know just when to strike, with a deep vengeance that would even put a Scorpio to shame. With elephant-like memories and the mental agility to bend rules, reality and words—perfect spell crafters, like Maleficent—a Virgo can leave you begging for mercy even when you aren’t at fault. If Inception were your reality, Virgos would be the ones with the skills to implant some nasty scars in your head.
