We are taught from an early age that we should not lie. “Lies have short legs,” it is often said, which basically means: We’ll catch you anyway.
For most people, this principle automatically becomes second nature. They try to avoid lying and only make exceptions when they see no other way out.

However, the reaction of some contemporaries is completely different: They seem to want to prove that lying can get you far without fearing consequences. Three zodiac signs have achieved questionable mastery in this field.
Better to lie than show weakness: Aries
It would certainly be wrong to describe Aries as a notorious liar – and yet he often doesn’t take the truth very seriously. The reason for this sounds paradoxical at first: Aries lies to give weight to his own truth, sometimes even without registering it himself.
This strange situation usually occurs because this zodiac sign is a real doer. He gets things done and doesn’t waste time discussing things. However, despite many successes, this leads him to reach a dead end from time to time, which means that the only option is to turn back.
However, this zodiac sign finds it very difficult to admit this. And so he either tries to make it clear to the others that the goal has been reached at exactly this point, or he sells the U-turn as a straight path with bold claims. If things get really bad, it can also happen that the Aries claims to have always warned against going astray. Then suddenly the others are to blame, which can be a lie with dire consequences.

A little too much of a good thing: Taurus
The Taurus zodiac sign only appears in this list if the concept of lying is taken broadly, which Taurus himself would probably even use in his own defense. In his eyes, these are not lies, just forgivable exaggerations.
Don’t sentences like “I ate 50 oysters yesterday” simply emphasize that it was a very nice, culinary evening, even if there were only a dozen mussels? Taurus definitely sees it that way, while others believe they have proven him to be a liar.

Scorpios actually mean well
It’s not easy for Scorpio because he likes to be judged too quickly. Many people see the (and certainly destructive) power of the lion as advantageous, but when it comes to the scorpion, everyone immediately thinks of the poisonous sting, which is more likely to be equated with deceit. The Scorpio in particular is a master at taking things peacefully, especially given the threatening backdrop that already exists.
However – and this limitation has weight – the Scorpio is also determined and tough, with demands that are difficult to fulfill. He demands a lot from himself and others in all projects and observes closely. If someone falls short of their expectations, which is more the rule than the exception, it arouses their aggressiveness.
In order to show the supposedly incompetent, the idlers and stupid followers, their limits, the Scorpio is also fine with lies. He is convinced that he is acting in the interests of the cause when he ignores the others and unfortunately only sees much later how unfairly he is acting in these moments.
