People love looking to the stars for clues about love, loyalty, and temptation, but astrology tends to paint some signs as more thrill seeking than others. One popular disclaimer puts it plainly, “Horoscope recommendations and advice should not be taken too seriously, and for all indications and side effects, contact a nearby scientist.” Still, these personality style readings often focus on who gets bored easily, who craves validation, and who struggles with boundaries when attention shows up. There is no reliable way to identify infidelity from a birth chart, yet the patterns can be an entertaining mirror for how different temperaments handle desire.
In this ranking, the signs are listed from the most likely to stray to the least likely, with maturity and self awareness making a big difference. Some signs are described as natural flirts who drift into gray areas while insisting nothing happened. Others are portrayed as deeply emotional and easily pulled into secret connections that feel romantic rather than wrong. A few are said to avoid cheating mostly because it seems exhausting and messy. The thread that ties it together is impulse versus restraint, and the ability to face dissatisfaction honestly.
Gemini lands at the top because curiosity and social energy can slide into questionable territory fast. The classic excuse sounds like, “We are just talking,” even when it starts looking like more than conversation. Their dual nature is framed as the ability to genuinely care for one person while still chasing excitement elsewhere. When immature, they may treat monogamy like a set of rules that do not really apply to them.
Pisces comes next, not always from malice, but from emotional overflow and seductive storytelling that feels impossible to resist. The sign is portrayed as secretive, sometimes claiming they are hiding things to “protect their partner’s feelings.” When emotionally underdeveloped, Pisces may lean into a martyr stance and say, “I am the good one and the other person is the problem,” even while creating the confusion. Their romantic aura can blur lines, especially when boundaries are flexible and feelings lead the way.
Libra is associated with charm and the ability to keep the peace, even after trust has been damaged. This sign is described as loving attention and reassurance, sometimes from multiple people at once. If they are not mature, they might downplay what happened with, “It was not anything serious.” The desire for harmony can become a way to dodge accountability and smooth over consequences.
Sagittarius is framed as less of a planner and more of a freedom seeker who wakes up craving novelty. If they feel confined, they may end up in a situation that looks like betrayal while insisting it happened “accidentally.” The story often adds that Sagittarius has the courage to admit it eventually, which can make the fallout swift and blunt. Relationships with this sign are depicted as needing space, trust, and a clear agreement about what counts as fun and what crosses the line.
Aries is described as loving the chase, thriving on pursuit, and acting before thinking. Flirtation and impulsiveness can spike when Aries feels ignored or underestimated. Cheating, in this view, can become a way to prove desirability and win back a sense of power. Because subtlety is not Aries’ strong suit, the truth is expected to surface quickly.
Leo follows with a reputation for needing admiration like oxygen, especially from the person they love most. If praise dries up in a relationship, Leo might look elsewhere for applause and validation. The sign is not portrayed as inherently disloyal, but insecurity mixed with a hunger for attention can be risky. When their emotional needs are met, Leo is often described as fiercely devoted and proud to be loyal.
Cancer is usually labeled loyal and sensitive, yet the ranking suggests emotional turbulence can lead to manipulative patterns when the sign is immature. If hurt feelings pile up, Cancer may turn bitterness into drama and then shift blame onto others. When cheating happens, it is framed as a reaction to feeling unseen or neglected rather than pure thrill seeking. The betrayal may be emotional rather than physical, involving a hidden closeness with someone else.
Aquarius is described as independent and sometimes distant, with a strong need to avoid feeling trapped. The sign is not necessarily trying to hurt anyone, but may detach emotionally and justify choices through logic that only makes sense to them. A common rationalization is, “I did not think that counted as cheating.” In this lens, Aquarius treats commitment as something to explore, which can frustrate partners who need clearer rules.
Scorpio is intense and all in, often living by the motto, “All or nothing.” That intensity is why their cheating is not usually casual, and if it happens, it tends to be complicated. Scorpio is described as loyal unless the relationship feels unsafe, finished, or disrespectful, especially if they sense betrayal even emotionally. If they feel wronged, they might retaliate in kind, turning the situation into a test of power and pain.
Taurus is shown as valuing comfort, routine, and stability, making cheating feel like too much work that disrupts peace. Rather than juggling lies, Taurus would rather rest, recalibrate, or slowly pull away. If they are unhappy, the expectation is gradual distancing instead of a dramatic rupture. If Taurus does cheat, it is framed as a sign the relationship has been over internally for a long time.
Capricorn ranks near the bottom because reputation, goals, and long term stability tend to outweigh short term thrills. Cheating is portrayed as an unnecessary risk and an inconvenient mess, both of which Capricorn prefers to avoid. The bigger danger here is emotional neglect when the sign is immature, not a secret affair. When Capricorn commits, it is often described as serious, deliberate, and built for the long haul.
Virgo is positioned as the least likely to cheat because of a strong tendency to analyze consequences and hate disorder. The sign is described as valuing integrity, consistency, and simple honesty, while the idea of managing lies and guilt feels repulsive. If unhappy, Virgo is more likely to communicate directly or quietly plan an exit than start a hidden affair. In this view, practicality becomes a shield against temptation.
For readers who want a little background beyond the ranking, the zodiac is a system that divides the sky into twelve signs based on the apparent path of the Sun across the year. Western astrology typically uses the tropical zodiac, which anchors signs to seasons rather than the current positions of constellations, while other traditions use different frameworks and techniques. Modern horoscope writing often blends pop psychology with archetypes, focusing on traits like novelty seeking, attachment style, and conflict avoidance.
