Being manipulated is one of the worst feelings you can experience. A lot of the time, you don't even notice that it is happening until after you've done the thing you didn't expect to.

It's not always done with malicious intent. Sometimes people trick you into doing things for your own good, but other times they are trying to make their own lives better.

If you are one of the people who tends to be manipulative, you may think that this is a negative term, but as we said, it's not all bad. If you change the descriptor to 'persuasive' it doesn't sound so bad, does it?

You are able to convince people to hire you for that promotion, you can encourage people to do their best, and you are always able to help solve conflicts between others.

These are the zodiac signs that are known to be the most manipulative, let's see which ones they are.

Cancer

You, more than any of the other signs, will be upset to learn that you can be seen as manipulative. You don't ever want to feel like you are being controlling, but you do it often without realizing.

You are the captain of the guilt trip train, and while you may believe that the things you are doing are for their own good, it doesn't always come across that way to those you are trying to influence.

Scorpio

Your ability to stealthily sneak around and gather information makes you seem like a spy. You are quick, cunning, and clever, and you use it to your advantage all the time.

You are so discreet that the people you are manipulating don't even notice what's happening until you are long gone. Your manipulations and persuasions are often done to help yourself, but at least you do it covertly.

Gemini

Sure, you are probably the most friendly zodiac sign, but that doesn't mean that you aren't capable of doing what it takes to get people to act the way you want them to. Your charisma and charm really help you out, because the way you adapt to any situation makes it easy for you to relate to anyone.

The more relatable you are, and the friendlier you seem, the more likely it will be that the people around you will do what you want. It's never intended to be malicious, it's just that you have a plan and you want it to go right.

Leo

Your expectations of the world are high, and when they don't match up to what you want you aren't afraid to go out there and make it work for you. The way you get what you want isn't always the most stealthy, you will often just continue to demand it until it is given to you. You know what you want and you aren't afraid to go after it.
