The concept of a 'god-like' complex often refers to an individual's belief in their own superiority and infallibility, a sense of omnipotence and invulnerability. While this psychological trait can be found in people of all zodiac signs, certain astrological signs are more predisposed to such characteristics due to their inherent traits and ruling planets. Here, we explore the zodiac signs most likely to possess a 'god-like' complex and delve into the astrological reasons behind it.

What is a God Complex?

A God complex is not a clinical diagnosis. According to verywellmind.com it refers to a psychological pattern characterized by:

• Inflated sense of self: Individuals with a God complex hold an exaggerated belief in their abilities, importance, or even infallibility.
• Entitlement: They feel deserving of special treatment, privileges, and admiration, often without commensurate effort.
• Lack of empathy: They may struggle to understand others' perspectives and may prioritize their own needs and desires above all else.
• Manipulative tendencies: A need for control might manifest in behaviors designed to exploit or influence others.

• Nurture over nature: Upbringing, life experiences, and personal choices significantly shape personality development. Zodiac signs offer potential tendencies rather than unchangeable destinies.
