Astrologer shares the three most narcissistic zodiac signs

An expert has revealed the three most narcissistic zodiac signs to watch out for.

We’ve all encountered a narcissist at some point in our lives, more often than not in the form of an ex boyfriend - emphasis on ex.

A narcissist is notoriously hard to spot, as they might start by showering you with love before the tendencies sneak in at a later date.

But an astrologer has now made that job a little easier, by revealing which star signs are more likely to be narcissists.

Astrology writer Reda Wigle explained all in a piece for for the New York Post:

Leo (23 July - 22 August)

Yep, those born in the height of summer are apparently at risk of being narcissists.

According to astrologers, Leos are ruled by the sun, and might be in the habit of thinking the world revolves around them.

Wigle writes: "At their big cat best, the contagious confidence that Leos possess gives the rest of us permission to both love ourselves and believe that we are worthy of the love of others.

"At worst, Leos operate from a place of wounded ego or deep insecurity and things get dark, like black hole space vacuum dark, wherein no amount of praise, love, validation, sex or success is able to satisfy or stabilise them."

Examples of famous Leos include Napoleon Bonaparte (who definitely had a sizeable ego), tech billionaire Larry Ellison and Barack Obama.

Capricorn (22 December - 19 January)

Capricorns are ruled by the planet Saturn - on the plus side this gives them stamina, diligence, discipline and a structured approach to tasks.

On the downside, Wigle warns: "Capricorns are goal oriented and this can translate to total self-absorption, an empathy deficit and a low key ruthless willingness to do anything, and conquer anyone, to get ahead."

A famous example of the Capricorn is Tiger Woods, who is known for being meticulous and goal driven.

Aquarius (20 January - 18 February)

Aquariuses are ruled by Uranus (no jokes, please), which is apparently the planet of invention and innovation, and the star sign is characterised by independence and assertiveness.

However, Wigle says their independence can tip over into becoming overly self-absorbed.

She writes: "Hyper independence is a kind of self-involvement and water bearers tend to wear self-sufficiency like a war medal/merit badge, a quality that can bleed into believing anyone that needs more than they do is somehow deficient, less than or feeble."

Famous Aquariuses include former US presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Needless to say, whether you believe in astrology or not, it's probably best not to write someone off as a narcissist purely because of their star sign - at least not until you've checked their moon and rising signs, anyway.
