Short of masochists, no one enjoys being manipulated by mind games; they’re devious and exasperating. However, there are some people are almost compelled to play mind games due to their zodiac sign. Are you wondering which ones they are? Below, we’ve listed six different signs with a penchant for mind games due to their own insecurities, curiosities, or insincerities:
- Scorpio
- Aquarius
- Aries
- Taurus
- Virgo
- Gemini
Scorpio
Scorpios have been described as brilliant, manipulative, and intuitive. They are also very secretive. These are perfect quality traits for someone who enjoys mind games to get their way. Scorpios are masters of the game, so much so that you may not even notice you’re being manipulated. They’re also very sensual so they can be hard to resist! If you’re someone who constantly needs to know where you stand in a relationship, this zodiac sign is not for you.
Aquarius
Aquarians are lauded for being very intelligent and it is something they take great pride in. However, that intelligence can often allow them to mess with your mind. Aquarians are not deliberately callous, but that they can be. The good news is that they generally apologize when hurtful things are brought to their attention. This sign loathes being told they can’t do something; their motto is, “Oh yeah? Watch me.” However, they’ll always do it rather underhandedly and with a smile on their face.
Aries
Aries are the warriors of the zodiac. They love competition in all forms and must win at any cost. They can be ambiguous in their relationships and love playing hard-to-get. Additionally, Ariens are incredibly impulsive, so they can often blurt out unkind words or disappear on a dime. They don’t often love deeply, but when they do, it has to be on their terms. While they love mind games, if they think they’re being played, they will lash out in no uncertain terms.
Taurus
Taureans do not trust easily. They test the people who surround them and determine whether they are worthy of remaining in their lives. They’re masters are surreptitiously testing you, using mind games, so you might not even notice that you are being tested. Often, this zodiac sign will say something different from what they do and this might cause some confusion for their partners or friends. Taureans, while hedonistic, are quite down-to-earth and humane but they can also be very calculating. The Bulls enjoy playing mind games, so be aware of how they might subtly be manipulating you.
Virgo
Virgos enjoy being mentally challenged, as they are very intelligent and calculating. They thrive on being the smartest person in the room and enjoy proving it. Never play a trivia game with this sign of the zodiac! Often this calculative behavior is used to manipulate to get what they want. They may repeatedly make you feel judged, but this is because they don’t accept people into their lives easily. Just don’t expect them to admit it! This is a very proud sign, but also can be extremely loyal.
Gemini
The symbol for Gemini is The Twins. They are exceptionally verbose and “stay in their head” most of the time (they’re an Air sign, so it comes with the territory). However, often they can start a sentence on one side of an argument and end up switching sides midway. As such, they can take you on a ride and you might not even realize you’re being played. Geminis love to compare you to others, which can make a person feel judged, and wonder what they’re saying about you behind your back. They are known to make commitments and break them (knowing full well they weren’t going to keep them in the first place). This zodiac sign enjoys wordplay and will use it to their advantage during mind games with you. Keep in mind that they make great lawyers!
Conclusion
Different zodiac signs enjoy playing mind games more than others. These mind games can be dangerous, however, as–if it goes too far–they can lose valuable friends and partners. Bear in mind, all zodiac signs have their strengths and weaknesses, and it’s up to each one to realize their capacity for mind games and curb that inclination whenever possible.
