Naive Star Signs
If you tend to fall victim to tricksters or people that take advantage of you quite often, chances are, you’re among the naive zodiac signs. While there’s nothing bad in being open and optimistic, naive people do it to the extreme which is why people often take advantage of them. It’s not because people born under these naive zodiac signs are not smart or intelligent, they’re simply too trusting. They take what people say to them at face value because they think everyone means well. But this is quite far from the truth. To get an idea of where you might fall on this spectrum, here’s a ranking of all the zodiac signs based on how naive they are.
Most Naive Zodiac Sign (Least to Most)
1. Leo
2. Scorpio
3. Virgo
4. Taurus
5. Gemini
6. Capricorn
7. Aquarians
8. Cancer
9. Sagittarius
10. Aries
11. Libra
12. Pisces
1. Leo
Leo people have a suspicious nature. They are pessimistic about the sincerity of everyone around them. Naturally, Leos see life as a competition and they’re always trying to get ahead. Being so ambitious means they rarely give in to the urge to trust others. Most times, it is so obvious that you don’t trust anyone so much that people end up tiptoeing around you trying to hide their real motives.
2. Scorpio
Scorpio people are among the least likely to fall for a scam because they have a natural distrust for people. They assume everyone is lying and this makes it difficult for anyone to catch them by surprise. Once you catch someone in a lie once, the person loses your trust forever. It’s not that you trusted them in the first place. They’ve just lost any chance they had before at proving that they’re trustworthy.
3. Virgo
Virgo people are meticulous with everything. Living such a planned life makes it difficult for anyone to one-up them. They have great instincts and can tell when someone is being dishonest with them. Virgos only trust people with authority such as doctors or lawyers. You don’t care so much about self-acclaimed experts unless they can prove that they’re what they claim to be.
4. Taurus
Taureans are selective about who they trust. Family members and friends are top on the list of people they trust. But when it comes to romantic relationships, they rarely get carried away with emotions to the point of trusting a lover. Basically, they’re trusting with everything except with matters of the heart. The stubbornness of Taurus people also makes them less likely to be deceived. Once they have their mind set on an opinion, it’s difficult for anyone to get them to change their mind.
5. Gemini
Gemini people take pride in their ability to bring the best out of people with their words. They believe anyone can be changed and they try to keep an open mind about others. If someone betrays a Gemini, they’ll most likely not trust that person anymore. But they won’t extend this mistrust to other people. The fact that Gemini people rarely make long-term personal connections help protect them from getting played by people.
6. Capricorn
Capricorn people are generally practical and down-to-earth. People born under this sign are not exactly naive or gullible. They just want to believe the best in people but this often sets them up for disappointment. Capricorns do learn from their mistakes. Once they’ve been betrayed, it’s unlikely that they’ll be tricked again. They’ll become doubtful of promises and it’ll take a bigger trickery to get them to fall victim again.
7. Aquarians
Aquarius are naturally among the smartest zodiac signs. However, when it comes to relationships they’re among the most naive. Once an Aquarian falls in love, they become quite vulnerable to deception. They blindly trust their partners which makes it easy for them to get manipulated in relationships. Their blind optimism is another reason why they’re unlikely to see the red flags even when it’s staring them in the face.
8. Cancer
People born under this sign are known to be overly emotional. This makes them quite vulnerable to manipulation. Capricorn people can be easily coerced. Once someone appeals to their emotional side, it’s easy to con them and get them to do anything. People often take advantage of Cancerians during periods of emotional vulnerability such as after a big move or after losing a loved one. They become over-trusting and this makes them vulnerable to manipulation.
9. Sagittarius
Sagittarius are brilliant but they’re also quite reckless. They don’t give a lot of thought to things before they do them. This makes them make naive decisions that land them in trouble. The problem isn’t that they’re not smart enough to avoid falling for, they’re just always in a hurry to experience new things and go on new adventures that they end up making bad decisions. This love for thoughtless spontaneity makes them one of the most gullible zodiac signs.
10. Aries
Aries people are not always naive. In fact, one would expect them to be one of the most sensible zodiac signs. However, Arians are quite passionate and this makes them vulnerable to manipulation when they fall in love. This coupled with their obstinate nature makes them the perfect prey for deceptive people. Once blinded by passion, it’s difficult for anyone to get them to see why they need to be careful. A lovestruck Arian will ignore the voice of reason and naively do whatever they’re being told by their love.
11. Libra
Libras are among the most genuinely kind people you can ever meet. People born under this sign are generally trusting of others because they think everyone is as kind as they are. They believe in a balanced world where everyone is happy. Of course, this is not practical in real life. This genuine naivety to the dangers that lie in trusting others is the major reason why Librans are easily pranked or conned by others.
12. Pisces
Emotional sensitivity is the Piscean’s biggest strength. But it could also be their major weakness. People born under this sign make decisions based on emotions rather than logic. Although they have a good handle on their emotions and they have a strong instincts, they still end up in positions that allow people to manipulate them easily. Having an idealistic view of the world blinds them from seeing when others are playing on their intelligence.
Conclusion
No matter where you fall on this list it is advisable that you’re less trusting of people. That’s not to say you should always be suspicious of others. But paying attention to people’s body language will help protect your sanity and emotions from getting played by manipulative people.
