Every friend group has a cynic. You know the one: They're innately sarcastic, always view the "glass half empty," and make it known that they believe most people are just out there for themselves. Fortunately, they're also often wildly intelligent, fabulously clever, and downright hilarious (yes, snark has its merits.) While we're sure they'd never admit it—they are a cynic, of course—astrology could play a role in why these people have this particular trait. Read on to discover the six most cynical zodiac signs, from the slightly skeptical to the righteous realists.

As the warrior of the zodiac, Aries is ambitious, assertive, and adventurous. However, their high hopes can sometimes set them up for disappointment and skepticism. "Those born under the sign of Aries will rush headfirst into a new situation because they are usually enthusiastic and passionate," saysrelationship astrologer Anna Kovach. "But if they don't get their way, particularlyif their trust is violated in relationships, those born under this sign can become defensive and cynical." So, if you end a fling with an Aries or pass them over for a promotion at the office, you can expect it to bring out their brooding side. Fortunately, Kovach notes that Aries moves on easily. "They seldom hold on to cynicism for too long," she says.

Taurus's cynicism exists primarily in the financial space—and is driven more by fear than it is by a general pessimism or bitterness. "Taurus doesn't trust anyone when it comes to money," says Kovach. "They have their sights set on success and won't take any chances—this can make them cynical when it comes to budgeting and making business decisions." For example, your Taurus pal may not trust you to pay back a loan or join them as a co-founder of a company; if you're partnered with a Taurus, they may secretly harbor a fear that you won't split the household chores evenly or keep your credit score intact. Stay vigilant in making sure the Taurus in your life feels safe and valued—oh, and pay those Venmo requests on time.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb

Two of Virgo's most famous traits are practicality and sensibility—so it should come as no surprise that this sign can sometimes veer cynical. "Their tendency to rely on logic and facts is part and parcel of their existence," says Alice Alta, resident astrologer for the Futurio app. Because of that, trying to explain a spiritual phenomenon or read them their weekly horoscope is likely fruitless.

However, they're not above being proven wrong. "With a raised eyebrow, the sensible Virgo will ask an innocent question, definitely not designed to trip you up," says celebrity psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman. "If you give a sensible answer, the eyebrow will lower. If you mess up and show that you've beenembellishing the truth, the eyebrow will stay up."

Ruled by Mars—the planet of action—and Pluto—the planet of darkness, subconscious, and rebirth—Scorpio is equal parts intense and truth-seeking. "Those born under the sign of Scorpio are constantly looking for ulterior motives and hidden meanings," says Kovach. "They take nothing at face value. When they are in relationships, they're always on the lookout for deception and lies." This can occur even if you've never given them a reason to doubt you.

Crescent, professional tarot reader and astrologer at Crescent Divination, compares Scorpio's energy to the open ocean. It's "horrifying because you don't know what is underneath the surface, no matter how calm the waters may look," she says. Don't be surprised if a Scorpio's cynicism catches you off guard—you may never realize you're the subject of their attention until you're in the thick of a confrontation with them.

Ang pangungutya ng Capricorn ay maaaring maiugnay sa namamahala sa planeta ng Saturn, na namumuno sa responsibilidad, pagsisikap, at karma. Ang pag -sign ay hindi mapagkakatiwalaan ng iba at naniniwala na upang gawin ang anumang bagay na tama, kailangan nilang gawin ito mismo. Dahil doon, medyo mahirap na pabayaan ang isang capricorn. "Kapag ang iba ay nagkamali, ipinapalagay nila na mangyayari ito, kaya't ito ay isang abala lamang," sabi ni Crescent. "Kung nagkamali sila? Susuriin nila ang kanilang sarili." Makakakita ka rin ng cynicism slip sa pang -araw -araw na pag -uusap. Ang tala ng Crescent na ang karamihan sa mga Capricorn ay magsasabi sa iyo na sila ay isang realistiko, hindi isang pesimista. "Iyon ay isang bagay na sinasabi nila sa kanilang sarili na gawing mas mahusay ang mga ito," sabi niya. Sa halip na kunin ang kanilang salita, hayaan ang kanilang mga aksyon na magsalita para sa kanilang sarili.

Ang mga Aquarians ay kilala bilang mga henyo at humanitarians ng Zodiac. Sa kasamaang palad, ang mga katangiang iyon ay maaari ring humantong sa kanila sa pangungutya. "Ang Aquarius ay isang air sign, at samakatuwid ay intelektwal, idealistic, na may isang malakas na paniniwala sa sangkatauhan," sabi ni Honigman. Gayunpaman, ang tala niya, hindi iyon nangangahulugang isang malakas na paniniwala sa mga tao. Sa kabilang banda, ang tanda na ito ay may posibilidad na makita ang pinakamahusay sa mga indibidwal at ang pinakamasama sa mundo nang malaki. Habang ang mga aquarians ay nakikipaglaban para sa mga hindi kapani -paniwala, hindi ipinapahiwatig, at pinagmamasdan ang mga tao sa lipunan, nakikita rin nila ang isang patas na bahagi ng kasamaan. "Magastos na nila ang isang buhay na pag -squaring hanggang sa mga nag -aapi, nag -diskriminasyon, at nagpapalayo sa iba," sabi ni Honigman. "Kaya't patawarin mo sila kung medyo nai -jaded sila."
