An astrologist has revealed the star signs that always get their way - and which are most manipulative. Nicolas Aujula, astrologist and past life therapist, has said the zodiac signs that are the biggest pushovers include Pisces and Libra, while the most persuasive are Leo and Taurus.
Aujula, who claims to have predicted Covid-19, Trump’s election loss, Prince Harry and Meghan's Oprah Winfrey interview and Kim Kardashian's shock divorce, also claims Sagittarius will make the best travel plans this summer. He also believes Scorpio to be the most manipulative.
The insight comes as part of Bonusetu’s study into historical TIME100 lists. In pop culture, the study found Taurus tends to receive the least critical acclaim, whilst Gemini receives the most.
According to Nicolas, 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.
"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." He added.
"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."
That’s good news for the Taurus who’ll be making birthday plans later this month, as they’re likely to be met with very little resistance when asserting where they’d like to go. However, it’s a fine line between charming your friends and family into following your lead, and adopting manipulative tendencies in order to get your own way - like Scorpio.

Nicolas explains: "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."
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.
Star signs ranked from most to least persuasive:
- Leo
- Scorpio
- Taurus
- Aquarius
- Cancer
- Capricorn
- Libra
- Aries
- Sagittarius
- Gemini
- Virgo
- Pisces
Some signs are particularly adept at influencing others in specific situations, as Nicolas 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 said to be the best at selecting a holiday destination.
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.”
