An astrology expert has revealed zodiac's 'most manipulative' celebs - including Meghan Markle and Kris Jenner. Nicolas Aujula, astrologist and past life therapist has provided insight into which signs in the zodiac are the most likely to get their own way, and which are the most manipulative.
According to Aujula, you're least likely to be able to trust your Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius friends after analysing as part of Bonusetu’s study into the most influential and acclaimed star signs - which also found that Taurus tend to be the most overlooked in pop culture, whilst Gemini receive the most critical acclaim.
Aujula - who claims to have predicted Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview - says some signs are more predisposed to success than others, purely based on their influence, persuasiveness and pull in group settings. And if you’re a Leo, Scorpio or Taurus who likes to get their own way, you’re in luck - as these three star signs are ‘by far’ the most persuasive, the astrologist reveals.
He says: “Leo are born leaders that naturally take charge and exude confidence that makes people believe what they say. They’re commanding, charismatic, attention-seeking and often speak like a polished politician, meaning people are easily influenced by them."
Celebrities under the Leo star sign (July 23 to August 22) include Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle (August 4), billionaire Kylie Jenner (August 10), Mick Jagger (July 26), Jennifer Lawrence (August 15) and pop star Dua Lipa (August 22).
Other star signs high up in the list are Scorpio and Taurus. Aujula explains: “Taurus are practical and stubborn, meaning it’s generally their way or the highway. As they are particularly astute when making financial decisions, they’re seen as aspirational to many, and so the people around them tend to follow their lead.”
Celebrities under the Taurus star sign (April 20 - May 20) include Gigi Hadid (April 23), Lizzo (April 27), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and David Beckham (May 2), Adele (May 5) and George Clooney (May 6).

He added: “Scorpio have a natural magnetism that draws people to them. Highly emotionally astute and able to read people, they’re capable of appealing to their peers’ vulnerabilities, and often play power games to get people to agree to their terms.”
Celebrities under the Scorpio star sign (October 23 - November 21) include Ryan Reynolds (October 23), Drake (October 24), Katy Perry (October 25), Bill Gates and Caitlyn Jenner (October 28), Kendall Jenner (November 3) and Kris Jenner (November 5).
On the other end of the scale, the zodiac signs that are comparative pushovers are apparently Pisces, Virgo and Gemini - whilst Libra and Capricorn are easily influenced by others if they feel they can score points among their peers by following the crowd.

Some signs are particularly adept at influencing others in specific situations, as Aujula says Cancer makes the best restaurant choices, Libra is best at picking out fashion or beauty products, and Aquarius knows where the funniest underground clubs are.
Meanwhile, those looking to get away this summer might want to consult their Sagittarius friends for tips, as they’re reportedly the best at selecting a holiday destination.
This is based on an analysis of the last decade’s TIME100: Most Influential People of the year lists, which revealed that 1in 10 acclaimed figures were Gemini, whilst - surprisingly - just five per cent were Taurus, making it the least-featured sign.
Speaking on the findings, a Bonusteu spokesperson said: “Although there’s much more that goes into being influential than when you were born, it is interesting to see that some star signs are significantly more likely to get their way than others.
“It’s particularly interesting that Gemini and Taurus sit on opposite ends of the scale in our analysis, despite their predispositions. And whilst this is just a bit of fun, it might prove inspiring to those who need a bit of a push to make moves in their social circles.”
