Zodiac Signs Ranked from Least Deceitful to Most Deceitful

1. Sagittarius

Sagittarius is one of the most honest signs of the zodiac. People born under this sun sign couldn’t tell a lie if they wanted to, but they usually don’t want to. Sagittarius is honest to a fault. You don’t want to ask his opinion on something unless you are ready to hear their blunt, honest opinion.

2. Aries

Aries is so honest that they can be rather heartless. They won’t hesitate to ask an uncomfortable question or point out what they don’t like. If you ask their opinion on something, Aries will give you the blunt and honest truth. They do not care if they hurt your feelings, and will even justify their actions instead of choosing a sincere way to be honest.

3. Leo

Leo sees being honest as a wonderful thing, and they are often honest with good intentions. They wouldn’t want their friend to get made fun of for their outfit or for someone else in their circle to look bad without realizing it! Leo often tries to be tactful, but is known for missing the mark quite a bit.

The one person that Leo does tend to lie to quite a bit is himself. They simply don’t want anything or anyone to hurt their ego, so they make sure that they hype themselves up quite a bit.

4. Cancer

Cancer can be so honest that it’s painful. They don’t do this to hurt people or because they don’t care. Instead, Cancer does this because they think it’s best for people to know the truth.

People born under this sign do lie on occasion, but it’s also because they believe it’s best. They don’t like to or want to hurt other people’s feelings.

5. Virgo

Virgo doesn’t usually lie, but they aren’t the most honest of the zodiac sign either. They can be painfully honest, but they realize that this can also hurt people’s feelings. Virgo doesn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, so they often withhold things in an effort to make sure that everyone stays happy.

People born under this sign are more likely to tell white lies to spare people’s feelings or avoid uncomfortable situations, though. For example, if they don’t want to do something because it sounds horrible, they’ll make up an excuse instead of telling the truth.

6. Taurus

Taurus doesn’t like to be mean, but this sign hates drama and conflict so much that it can lead to one lie after another. If your outfit is horrible, they’ll tell you it looks wonderful with your hair. If they don’t want to go to your get together, Taureans will tell you that they have another friend that is sick and they have to take care of them. They’ll tell any lie they can to avoid conflict or hurting your feelings.

7. Scorpio

Scorpio is brutally honest towards other people, and they don’t care if it hurts your feelings. However, they are often quiet, so you won’t get their too honest opinions unless you’re close or can get Scorpio to open up a little bit.

On the other hand, Scorpio is extremely dishonest with himself. Scorpio always thinks that they are great, and they refuse to acknowledge the truth about themselves.

8. Capricorn

Capricorn doesn’t have a problem telling the truth, unless it will result in chaos or make him look bad. If he thinks either of those will happen, Capricorn will easily lie with a straight face and make sure that you never find out the truth. You’ll have to provide evidence before this zodiac sign will admit that he might have been dishonest.

9. Aquarius

Aquarius is one of the best liars of the zodiac, but they only lie when they think there’s a good reason for it. For example, if you ask if you look fat, they’ll give you a bluntly honest answer. However, if you need someone to lie for you, and they think it’s for a good cause, they will have zero problems lying to the entire world to stand by your side.

10. Pisces

Pisces is extremely good at lying and do so for any reason that suits them. They will lie to avoid conflict or something they don’t want to do, such as attending an event that might be boring. They often lie to themselves as well, so they wind up believing whatever lies they are telling.

11. Libra

Libra is known for being fake. They will say one thing to your face and several other things behind your back. Lying to save face or make themselves look good is never a problem for them. They tend to be honest with themselves, which makes it even worse. They are aware that they are being dishonest and deceitful to the rest of the world, but they simply don’t care.

12. Gemini

Gemini is ruled by the twins, and they are known for being more two-faced than any other sign. They don’t like conflict and prefer to enjoy a life full of fun. These traits combined make them the most deceitful of the zodiac signs.

Gemini will lie for any reason, from getting out of doing something they don’t like to wanting to spare your feelings. They’ll also lie to explain why they didn’t do something, even if it was really because they got distracted. Not only do they lie a lot, but they are also extremely good at lying. You won’t even see their facial expressions change. Gemini will not admit to lying unless you catch them and provide evidence.
