When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

Every zodiac sign in astrology has a tendency to act without consequences but some are more ruthless than others!

The most ruthless zodiac signs

It’s in the stars that Scorpios are the ultimate savages, but they aren’t the only signs to be wary of. Gemini and Leo are some of the most ruthless zodiac signs, while Aries naturally takes the prize for the quickest to anger sign.

Aries is also an overall firecracker, whose sizzle will burn for what seems like eternity, which can be a good and bad thing. Scorpio is known to act more vindictive than all of the signs, Gemini earns the title for the wildest zodiac sign (they come up with several creative ways to destroy you), Aquarius close in tow.

While the ruthless parts of these signs may not be out there actually destroying people, they may be just be fantasizing about sinister ways to get back at you.

No zodiac sign is a perfect angel, we all have our dark and light sides, but some definitely more ruthless in nature. Learn more about what to look out for including their most toxic traits.

Here are the most ruthless zodiac signs in astrology, ranked from most to least

1. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

This super intense confident scorpion isn't scared of anything. Anger these control freaks and they'll be relentless to find a way to get back at you.

They believe they're always right regardless of how many screenshots you have, so when they infiltrate your life, beware of their tendency to seek ruthless revenge if they feel wronged.

If you do decide to kiss up to them they demand a lot of begging and pleading for their forgiveness even if they're the ones who did you dirty!

You'll feel the painful sting of Scorpio if you get on their bad side. They either control every move you make or will make you pay dearly.

This moody, dominating water sign is out to win and when wronged are best to avoid with a 100' pole.

2. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Gemini is a social, curious and intelligent character. But they also hold a devilish wild card up their sleeves. This is a sign that has mastered ruthless lying and manipulative gaslighting.

They are extremely fickle, and indecisive. They will deny any facts or truths making you think you've lost your mind because they're so ruthlessly impulsive.

This air signs inconsistent, dramatic nature comes out quite frequently. Don't be surprised if they spread vicious gossip about you.

3. Leo (July 23 - August 22)

This confident creative fire sign has a big heart and good leadership. But there's a flip side.

Out of nowhere, Leo will charge at you suddenly and deliver an insult or attack that is so out of line, so harsh, arrogant and full of disdain, that you'll feel like their cracking the earth out from under you.

Leo is known to be the boldest and one of the most self-superior of the signs. They will fight the world with their strong convictions no matter how ugly. They will never ask for forgiveness.

You don't want to feel the wrath of this lion!

4. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius can be highly creative which helps them come up with ruthless and highly rebellious and the most ruthless thing they do is push you to the edge.

They are stubborn and merciless when it comes to going to any lengths to get their way.

Prepare to be cruelly challenged (or knocked down) by this Air sign because they have a pitiless self-righteous streak - they have no mercy or boundaries whatsoever when it comes to being right.

5. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus are known to be fiercely loyal and hardworking but if they feel they've been betrayed watch out! They rationalize their actions with a callous stubbornness that can last for a lifetime!

This super sensitive Earth sign will hold a grudge for what seems to be forever no matter how often you apologize or try to make amends.

They are possessive, vain and materialistic. Avoid at all costs this bull trampling over you if they've had a bad day!

6. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces have idealistic ideas about everyone and everything but if things take a turn for the worse, they take things so personally and for so long they grow ripe with toxicity.

This Water sign is so into their own emotional baggage that there really is no time for anyone else, which means if you are relying upon a Pisces for a deep friendship or relationship, realize that you are always going to be number two. Literally and figuratively.

Pisces ruthlessly put their feelings above yours no matter what.

7. Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libra loves to appear as if they're fair and impartial. But they also tell outlandish stories.

They cannot live a day without being two faced, which sounds not so horrible until you realize they will often lie while smiling straight to your face just to avoid confrontation.

This nonchalant (who me?) Earth sign tells you they will do something nice for you but if they are out for revenge, are inconvenienced or believe you don't deserve it - they will seek wrath upon you for eternity. In a nice way of course.

8. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are extremely practical, but you don't want to bring out that savage temper. It's rare to be involved with a Capricorn and have them not confront you at some point with pure, loathsomeness.

This Earth sign will enjoy stabbing you with words, and if you cry, it's a jubilant time for them because they actually like making others feel like crap if they feel it's justified.

9. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgo's snarky and uptight attitude makes them the most perfectionistic zodiac sign. This trait makes them very spiteful because they can tend to get...let's face it: Petty.

This Earth sign already despises most, but when they put their overthinking analytic forces upon you, if you so much as rub them the wrong way, they will attack your character so viciously that you'll end up dazed and confused over how you fell for them.

Virgo has no tolerance for those they hate. Period.

10. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius, despite their easy-going ways, this Fire sign can be immensely cold and brutal. Nobody is more emotion-free than Sagittarius. And when they cut you out of their life, you may even start to doubt your own existence!

Sagittarius when angry has a 'devil may care' attitude and no patience with people telling their drama filled sob stories. Don't open up too much to a Sag because even though they're good listeners they get bored extremely quickly.

If you open up too much don't be surprised if they delete you from their lives without a single feeling of remorse.

11. Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries is fiery sparkplug. This Fire sign is all about not holding back. They will ruthlessly break up with you on a whim, do everything to get back together then cut you off again.

You're fooling yourself if you think they will give you a moment to explain your side. When angry they're like bloodthirsty honey badgers.

Aries has no patience for you, lacks self-control when angry and can be ruthlessly insensitive. Don't bother trying to defend yourself; Aries are the most aggressive when they're angry. It's wise not to provoke them.

12. Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The most highly sensitive of the zodiacs. But when it comes to forgiving and forgetting — they just don't do it. You could beg for forgiveness on hands and knees, but once you've hurt the delicate shell of Cancer, it's permanent and harsh.

This Water sign will freeze their heart to ice and let you wonder for the rest of your life where you went wrong. They are the most heartless zodiac sign when they feel wronged. And they know and utilize exactly what hurts you the most to your detriment.

Conclusion

It’s crucial to remember that astrology provides a general framework for understanding key personality and character traits, but individual experiences and circumstances also shape behavior.

While these zodiac signs may exhibit heartless or ruthless tendencies at times, they can also exhibit vast love, empathy, kindness and compassion. But that all depends on you!

Open communication, trust, honesty and empathy can help bridge gaps in understanding and fostering more compassionate interactions in any relationship.
