4 Zodiacs Who Are Most Likely To Be Manipulative In Love

Scorpios 

Scorpios are known for their intensity, passion, and fierceness, and they can make for extremely exciting and intense relationships. However, they can also be prone to feeling jealous with their partners, and Scorpios can be manipulative in their ways of maintaining their partner’s love. This is the sign that is most likely to not only be most possessive, but also the most manipulative in keeping their partner theirs. Due to Scorpios already having manipulative tendencies, they may want to maintain their closeness and affection with their partner by resorting to manipulative tactics in order to win their partner’s love. Scorpios can use tears, heartrending words, or passionate arguments all in an effort to gain the attention, approval, and recognition from their partner. At times, their manipulative behaviors can be controlling, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have good intentions in place. They will simply resort to manipulative tactics as a last resort if it means that it will get them what they want.  

Pisces

Pisces are known for their emotional depth and sensitivity, which can translate into being very nurturing, caring, and empathetic partners. However, Pisces are oftentimes co-dependent on their partner’s love and can become emotionally needy and reliant when their partner begins to pull away. Thus, this sign has a high likelihood of becoming manipulative in their efforts to win back their partner’s hearts. While this sign is fiercely independent, they are prone to being reliant on their partner’s approval, and thus, they may resort to manipulative methods in order to maintain their partner’s interest or approval. In essence, Pisces are willing to sacrifice more than just their time and energy—they are also likely to break their own boundaries in order to manipulate someone into loving them more. 

Geminis

Geminis are known for their charm and their wit, which can lead to them being very engaging, exciting, and fun-loving partners. However, they can also be prone to mind games and manipulation, as they have a tendency to become jealous when they cannot control their partner. This is not to say that Geminis want to control their partner’s every move or every decision, only that they want to gain a sense of control in how their partner feels about them. If their partner begins to pull away, Geminis may use their charming wit to play mind games with their partner in order to stir up drama in the relationship, hoping that the excitement of the mind games will lure their partner back while creating confusion and drama in the process.

Cancer

This zodiac sign is deeply empathetic, validating, and nurturing, and they are always looking for someone who can provide stability and security within their life. However, they have a deep-seated fear of being alone, which means oftentimes they will manipulate their partners into staying with them because they are afraid to be single. This means that they will often make the decision to manipulate someone into staying with them even if they’ve fallen out of love with them, simply because they hold the belief that being with someone is better than being alone. This also means they have the tendency to control the flow and dynamics of the relationship, because that is how they ensure that they feel safe and truly loved. They are the happiest when they can ensure their partner loves them by manipulating their partner into staying with them.
