Let’s be clear – any zodiac sign, like any person, can cheat or be a faithful partner! But some zodiacs, based on their astrological characteristics, are more likely to cheat than others. There are many other factors to consider when predicting the possibility of infidelity, such as Venus and Mars signs, perfect compatibility, and more. But your partner’s sun sign (the one most people know about, based on their birthday) can give you an idea of their general behavior in a relationship. Here are all 12 zodiac signs ranked from least to most likely to cheat in a relationship, and how astrology explains their place on the list.
12. Virgo
Not surprisingly, a virgin sign is less likely to cheat. Virgos are notorious for everything, from their food choices to their home decor, and their romantic partners are no different. It takes a lot to win over a Virgo, so once they fall in love, they are very unlikely to jeopardize their hard-earned relationship by cheating. Virgos are also rule-followers, so going outside of their relationship would not be unusual for them.
11. Capricorn
Capricorns are usually closed and stoic, so it can be difficult for them to form a romantic connection. But once they commit to someone else, they are in it for the last time. They take their responsibilities seriously and will treat their partner with the same respect they want in return. The only problem with Capricorns and cheating is their ability to isolate their feelings – they can cheat without feeling guilty or showing any signs of what they are doing, if they really want to. But most of the time, Capricorns don’t like bullying that comes with dishonesty.
10. Aquarius
One of the main reasons that Aquarians rarely cheat is that it is completely impossible to get into a committed relationship. This zodiac sign values their freedom, and it takes a very special person to make them want to settle down. And once they’re committed, they don’t want to ruin their casual connection by cheating. They may suddenly break up with you to pursue someone else instead of being unfaithful. Also, if an Aquarius is going to cheat, it will be online (via text messages or dating apps) rather than in person.
9. Taurus
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, which means that this zodiac sign loves romance and is very happy in a committed relationship. Taurus people long for the comfort and stability that comes with having a stable partner, and they are very reliable lovers. It is impossible for them to cheat because they value their relationship as a precious commodity. But if they go astray, they are hard-hearted and Stoic;
8. Cancer
Cancer is one of the nurturing and romantic signs of the zodiac, so they tend to fall into the role of caretaker in relationships. They are empathetic and do not want to hurt their lover by being unfaithful. But, if they feel they are being used or unappreciated, they may seek validation and connection elsewhere. Cancer does not allow many people in their hearts, and they hate the idea of starting the whole dating process again with a new person. They may cling to bad relationships, even when they look outside of relationships to fulfill their needs.
7. Scorpio
Scorpio rules the eighth house of the zodiac, which is the house of integration, intimacy, and shared resources. This means that romantic relationships are number one for this star sign. They will do anything for their partner, but sometimes their efforts don’t pay off. If Scorpios feel taken for granted or misunderstood in their relationships, they will begin to seek attention and validation from others. Scorpios are also masters of revenge, so if they find out that their partner is cheating, they may do the same in revenge.
6. Leo
Leos are among the most loving members of the zodiac, and they have big, loving hearts. They are very loyal and, when they are fully committed to a partner, it is impossible for them to be unfaithful. But if there’s one thing Leos may love more than their partner, it’s attention. They cannot say no to flattery, and may develop a wandering eye if left to their own devices for too long. And they hate to let anyone down, so if they feel like something is expected of them to cheat (like if their friends are encouraging them or they’re leading someone), they’ll do it out of a weird sense of obligation.
5. Libra
Libra enjoys being in a relationship, but they are not committed and change their minds often. A Libra can be in love one day and desire independence – or a different partner – the next. Although they are sweet and thoughtful, they also have a streak of people-pleasing that can get them into trouble. If they feel pressured to cheat, they may readily agree. Although Libras are funny, caring partners, they need to be firm in their beliefs and deeply love their partners to avoid infidelity.
4. Sagittarius
Sagittarians prioritize their freedom above all else, so it is impossible for them to settle down in a relationship first. They enjoy being single and playing the field. Once they find someone to commit to, it can be difficult for them to break out of their old habits as a single person. Sagittarians are also bold and flirtatious, which sometimes gets them into trouble. Sagittarians need to find a partner who has to sacrifice their single life and change their old ways to prevent them from cheating.
3. Pisces
Pisces people are incredibly passionate, the kind that can sweep a partner off their feet. They love whirlwind, fairy-tale romances, so they sometimes commit to a partner without really getting to know him. If something happens to destroy the illusion of perfection, all bets are off – they may feel betrayed by their partner for not being who they thought they were. Pisces people are also very accepting and likable, so they can easily be convinced that they are cheating. Pisces must have strict boundaries in place, and fall in love with someone who fulfills their dreams to avoid infidelity.
2. Aries
Aries people are passionate, impulsive, and defiant, which is the perfect recipe for infidelity. When they are in love and in a committed relationship, they only have eyes for their partner. They give everything they do 110%, including their relationships. But the second Aries feels their love fading, they move on to the next new thing. They will pursue someone else to experience that radiant joy of new love, and they don’t always end their current relationship first.
1. Gemini
Geminis have such complex, diverse personalities that it is difficult for one partner to satisfy all of their relationship needs. They are also mercurial – Geminis can be deeply in love with their partner one day, then cold and distant the next. They believe that variety is the spice of life, and it is difficult to settle down with one person. They’re also masters of manipulation, so they can keep dating without anyone being the wiser. Geminis need a partner who can keep them on their toes and see through their tricks to stay loyal.
