Some people are always one step ahead. They're so cunning that you might have trouble keeping up with them. If you've encountered someone who's always outfoxing others, you know it's easy for these tricksters to get away with anything. Wondering why certain people have these traits? Astrology might be able to provide some insight. Read on to discover the six signs that will always outfox you, from devilish deceivers to total bamboozlers.

Cancer

If you're close with a Cancer, you might be surprised they made this list—but it's because they're far trickier than you imagined. "Cancers are dialed into emotion and can use it to distract or manipulate any situation to their benefit," explains forensic astrologer Valerie Evans. These hyper-emotional folks also love to hold grudges, so if you wrong a Cancer, don't be surprised if they try to pull a fast one on you as revenge.

Gemini

Geminis have two sides to them, and you never know which one you're going to get. These fast-thinkers "keep everyone guessing," according to Evans. "A Gemini's social and listening skills give them the advantage because they will extract more information than the average person and use it to their advantage," she adds. If you tell a Gemini a secret, it's possible they'll use it against you in the future. For more astrology-related content delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.

Leo

Leo is smart and crafty—they often strategize and use their bravery to make moves. "It takes courage and self-confidence to outsmart an opponent, traits that are often associated with Leos," Evans says. Evans cites the confident con man Frank Abagnale as the perfect example of someone with Leo energy. The Leonardo DiCaprio movie Catch Me If You Can is based on Abagnale, and she calls it "one example of how Leo energy helped him outsmart the FBI for years, staying one step ahead."

Virgo

Virgos are incredibly detail-oriented, so they won't let anything get by them. Debbie Jian, a spiritual coach, warns that Virgos "expect the worst so they can be ready for anything." If you give a Virgo anything, whether it's a birthday card or a contract, they're going to make sure they're not being misled. They remember everything you ever say or give them, and they're not afraid to use it against you in the future if it helps them.

2

Libra

Libras often become lawyers because they're so good at arguing. "They may fool you with their charm but their quick-thinking methods to win their case," explains Evans. This devious, sly sign can sometimes take extreme measures to be the center of attention, which they are often are in the courtroom. If they don't become lawyers, expect them to be secretly manipulative in their personal lives. If you're friends with or dating a Libra, tread carefully, because they can definitely be more clever than those around them.

Scorpio

Scorpios are known for being strong and strategic, which makes them quite cunning. "Scorpios will easily command what is another person's and take it over—they may even improve it," says Evans. Jian calls Scorpios "very clever business people" who "make you feel special and make you feel like you depend on them." Once you're reliant on a Scorpio, they have you right where you want them, so watch out.

What sign is Heartbreakers?

Libra (September 23 – October 21) These ardent people-pleasers end up breaking hearts not necessarily because of what they did, but because they prolonged the breakup for fear of creating drama. They're the queens of trying to get everyone to like them, after all.

No-nonsense Virgo is not one to beat around the bush. This earth sign can be a little too blunt and brash in their delivery, but hey, we love them for their honesty, right? If they expressed their disdain for your tardiness or the fact that you leave your clothes next to the hamper and not inside it, don’t expect them to reiterate the point 100 more times after the first warning. These ultimate perfectionists and neat freaks expect pristine execution immediately or, at the very least, the impression that you’re trying to do better. Once they decide it’s over, there won’t be a long, drawn-out breakup process, and they definitely won’t coddle you. There will be no “it’s not you, it’s me,” to make the blow less painful. They’ll give you their thought-out reasons for breaking up (which are probably written on an extensive pros and cons list somewhere) so there is no confusion as to why they decided to end things. Sure, Virgos love a challenge, but clinging to a relationship that’s no longer working is just not their style. Virgos are all about moving forward.
