3 Zodiacs Who Are Easily Manipulated
Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. As human beings we are all faulted in one way or another. When it comes to the art of manipulation, there are three zodiacs that should be aware of the influence that other people can hold over them. They can easily be convinced, leaving them to pray to scams or deception. Awareness is a powerful tool, and they certainly don’t have to put up with it. More than most, these signs should ask themselves: “do I really want this?” Simple self-awareness goes a long way for these signs.
Cancer
Dear sweet Cancer, you are a deeply feeling and sensitive person. There is a constant drive to nurture and care for those that may need your help. With that soft heart, you can help but give your all to others. This is why you especially tend to attract some leeches in your life. The ones who just want to take and take but never give. Through tender words and touches, they appeal to your emotional self and need for appreciation. Beware of the people who speak kindly or highly of you, but never actually show up or give their support in tangible ways. You really need to see it to believe it. Anyone who is overly trying to appeal to your emotional self should undergo a serious audit. You must make sure they are worthy and deserving of your time and attention, you can’t constantly give your TLC for free. Set the right boundaries when it comes to personal relationships, with partners, friends or family especially. They know exactly how to get into your heart. It’s okay to say no to what doesn’t serve you.
Leo
Oh Leo, have you ever considered that your penchant for flattery might actually make you a bit gullible and vulnerable? Praise is like your life force. A heartfelt compliment can completely shift your mood, and you love to hear how great you are. Of course you’re wise enough to notice when it is “too much” and are pretty good at picking up on someone’s authenticity. You must also remember that there are people out there who are also phenomenal at faking it. Therefore flying under your radar and straight into your heart, mind and wallet. It’s not that you should be suspicious when anyone has anything nice to say, but to be aware if they are trying to butter you up. This is particularly true when anyone is trying to sell you anything. Buy because you desire or need it, not because someone convinced you. Your big heart could also land you in some hot water when it comes to manipulation. Appealing to your emotional side is an easy way to get you to agree to something. You want to be seen as the hero, who saves the day, but you must assess the cost i.e. if it’s worth your time and resources. Giving feels good to you, but being taken advantage of is so not your style. Just a little bit of self-awareness goes a long way.
Libra
Always weighing things out, you tend to get too comfortable with outsourcing your decisions. Yes, you want to get all perspectives— seeing if there might be a better way of doing or being. This is fine to an extent, but when you’re constantly counting on others to make decisions for you, you give up your power and become extremely vulnerable to manipulation. While you have your council of trusted confidants, it’s imperative to remember that not everyone will have your best interest in mind. Even the people who truly care for you could be easily corrupted, guiding you towards what they desire or believe is best; not actually helping you figure it all out. One of the biggest lessons you’ll learn in this life is to be an independent force, to trust your gut and inner knowing. You are always discovering how to fully advocate for yourself. You also have an inherent need to keep the peace and be pleasant, chalk it up to your ruler Venus. This desire to please can make you malleable, as sometimes you can comprise values or morals for the people you love. Just be more mindful of this trait. Gifts often tend to soften you up, so if someone is being extra generous it’s only logical to question their motives. Set your boundaries, and don’t let others sway your ideals or ideas to an unhealthy extent.
