Born to Betray: Zodiac Signs Most Likely to Cheat on You
Riya Kumari | Jan 02, 2025, 15:59 IST
One minute, you’re planning a cute weekend getaway with bae, and the next, you’re scrolling Instagram at 2 a.m., trying to figure out why their “work friend” just tagged them in a boomerang of cocktails at the same rooftop bar you suggested last week. Betrayal, is an ancient art. Now, before you start angrily Googling your ex’s birth chart (yes, that Gemini rising was a red flag),they don’t mean to hurt you; it’s just that their star sign whispers, “What if you just…didn’t text back for two days and then kissed someone else? Fun, right?”
Whether they’re texting their ex "for closure" or calling their emotional affair "a connection the universe wanted," these five signs top the charts for celestial heartbreakers. Grab your birth chart and your boundaries—it's time to find out who’s betraying with charm and blaming it on Mercury retrograde.
1. Gemini
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Translation? They’re a linguistic magician who can talk their way out of anything—including why they forgot your anniversary dinner but somehow remembered their ex’s birthday. Here’s the thing about Geminis: they’re not cheating because they don’t care—they’re cheating because they care…about everyone. These social butterflies love a good chat, and sometimes that chat turns into, “Oops, I fell into someone else’s arms!” It’s not betrayal to them; it’s networking.
Signature excuse: “It wasn’t emotional—it was just intellectual! We were debating the ethics of modern romance. Over wine. At her apartment. Twice.”
2. Libra
Libras are ruled by Venus, which makes them natural romantics. Think: candlelit dinners, whispered poetry, and those eyes that look like they’ve seen right into your soul. But here’s the kicker: they’ll look into everyone else’s soul too. Libras hate conflict and love being adored, so they’ll avoid telling you the truth if it might hurt your feelings—or make them look bad. If your Libra partner is taking forever to reply, it’s not because they’re busy. It’s because they’re stuck weighing the pros and cons of which date to cancel first. And don’t be surprised if they casually mention they’re still “friends” with all their exes.
Signature excuse: “I didn’t cheat; I was just keeping the peace! You don’t understand how complicated their emotions are!”
3. Sagittarius
Sagittarius cheats the way they book last-minute flights: with zero forethought and a lot of adrenaline. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of adventure and expansion, they’re all about chasing freedom—and unfortunately, they sometimes chase people too. Sag doesn’t see cheating as betrayal; they see it as “answering the call of the universe.” They’re not trying to hurt you—they’re just trying to keep things exciting. And if their apology includes a heartfelt story about “personal growth,” don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Signature excuse: “It wasn’t cheating; it was a spontaneous connection! I had to honor it. Besides, it was in another country, so technically, it doesn’t count.”
4. Aquarius
Oh, Aquarius. The zodiac’s rebel genius. They’ll charm you with their quirky intellect, send you articles about sustainable farming, and invite you to a midnight stargazing sesh. But while you’re planning your future together, Aquarius is busy theorizing about the concept of monogamy. Aquarius doesn’t cheat because they’re bored—they cheat because they’re curious. “What if I didn’t conform to society’s outdated relationship norms?” they ponder as they “accidentally” grab coffee with their coworker. And if you confront them? Prepare for a TED Talk about how “labels are oppressive.”
Signature excuse: “I didn’t cheat—I was just exploring new dimensions of love! You should really read the article I sent you about polyamory last week.”
5. Aries
If Aries had a motto, it’d be: Oops, I did it again. Ruled by Mars, the planet of passion and war, Aries approaches relationships with the same energy they bring to literally everything—fast, intense, and occasionally reckless. Aries doesn’t plan to cheat; it just kind of…happens. Like when they “accidentally” get too flirty at the gym or decide to “test the waters” with that new coworker. They’ll swear it didn’t mean anything, and honestly? They believe that. Aries lives in the moment, and sometimes that moment involves making terrible decisions.
Signature excuse: “It wasn’t cheating; it was an impulse! I swear I was thinking about you the whole time…well, most of the time.”
What the Stars Won’t Tell You
Sure, astrology gives us some hilarious insights, but cheating isn’t about star signs—it’s about choices. Still, if you’ve ever dated one of these signs, you’re probably nodding along, sipping your coffee, and thinking, Why is this so accurate? The truth is, we’re all a little messy when it comes to love. But hey, next time you’re swiping, maybe check their birthday. Just to be safe. And whatever you do, don’t date someone whose Venus is in Gemini—you deserve better. PS: Don’t forget to change your Netflix password. Just in case.
