Trust is the foundation of any relationship, but sometimes, betrayal comes from where we least expect it. In astrology, certain zodiac signs are more prone to secretive behavior, manipulation, or self-serving decisions that can be perceived as backstabbing. This doesn’t mean everyone under these signs will be disloyal—astrology is complex, and individual character always matters. However, these three signs have traits that can, under certain circumstances, lead them to act behind others’ backs.
Gemini
Geminis are known for their quick wit, adaptability, and dual nature. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, they’re great talkers—but sometimes, that talent for conversation can turn into gossip or two-faced behavior. Geminis love to be in the loop and can struggle with keeping secrets, especially if sharing information benefits them socially.
Their tendency to play both sides can make them seem untrustworthy in emotionally charged situations. It’s not always malicious; often, Gemini is just trying to avoid conflict or stay in everyone’s good graces. But when loyalty is tested, their flighty nature can make them appear as backstabbers.
Scorpio
Scorpios are emotionally intense and fiercely private. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, they are strategic and deeply calculating. While they’re loyal to those they truly trust, they don’t forgive easily—and when they feel wronged, they won’t hesitate to retaliate in secretive ways.
Scorpios can hold grudges and are masters of silent revenge. If they feel betrayed or threatened, they may plot quietly, striking when it hurts the most. Their ability to keep their emotions hidden behind a calm exterior can make their betrayal feel especially shocking and personal.
Pisces
Pisces might seem like an odd addition to this list, given their dreamy and emotional nature, but their passive-aggressive tendencies can sometimes come off as deceptive. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of illusion, Pisces can struggle with confrontation and may avoid direct conflict by acting behind the scenes.
They might say one thing to your face and another behind your back, often to avoid hurting feelings or dealing with tension. While their intentions may not be cruel, their lack of transparency can feel like betrayal—especially if they play the victim or manipulate situations to escape blame.
These three zodiac signs—Gemini, Scorpio, and Pisces—can be seen as backstabbers under specific conditions, especially when they feel emotionally compromised, cornered, or threatened. Understanding their deeper motivations often reveals that their actions stem more from fear, insecurity, or emotional overwhelm than true malice. Still, when trust is broken, their betrayals can feel deeply personal and hard to forget.

Scorpios don’t forget betrayals and may strike back subtly, using their emotional insight to hit where it hurts most.
How can Pisces be deceptive?
Pisces may avoid direct conflict by hiding their true feelings or telling people what they want to hear, which can seem dishonest.
Can these signs be loyal too?
