Gemini: The Twin-Faced Risk
When planetary tensions rise, Gemini’s dual nature creates the perfect storm for potential betrayals. Gemini, symbolized by the Twins, possesses a dual nature that can often lead to conflicting desires. While they can be charming and witty companions, their restless energy and penchant for change may make them prone to betrayals. The current Mars retrograde through early 2025 particularly amplifies this risk, as their usual quick-thinking becomes clouded and emotional clarity diminishes.
Geminis are very adaptable and have the ability to talk to anyone, which is a skill they definitely make use of. But Since the Twins represent them, they have a tendency to be two-faced. During the upcoming months, especially when Mars moves through Cancer in early 2025, Gemini’s tendency toward gossip and information sharing could backfire spectacularly. Their adaptable nature, while usually an asset, may lead them to adjust their loyalties too freely when faced with challenging situations.
Aries: The Impulsive Betrayer
As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries tend to have a me-first sort of attitude. They’re very ambitious, competitive, and always strive to be number one. Because of this, rams may be quick to betray if they feel like they’re being threatened by someone’s dominance. The extended Mars retrograde period from December 2024 through February 2025 will particularly challenge Aries natives, as their ruling planet moves backward through their emotional foundations.
Aries, the fiery and impulsive trailblazer of the zodiac, is always seeking new adventures and thrills. They are natural-born leaders and tend to act on instinct rather than overthinking situations. While their enthusiastic nature can be inspiring, it may also lead them to make impulsive decisions that could inadvertently betray others. During this retrograde cycle, unresolved issues from October 2024 may resurface, forcing Aries to confront their patterns of self-preservation at others’ expense.
Scorpio: The Vengeful Sting
Out of all the signs on this list, Scorpio is an interesting one because their betrayal can hit a lot harder than Aries or Gemini. The intense water sign operates from deep emotional currents that most people never see coming. During the current planetary climate, particularly with Mars retrograde in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, heightening internal and relationship tensions on January 3, 2025, Scorpio’s protective mechanisms could turn destructive.
Scorpio feels deeply but can be secretive & vengeful. If hurt they might betray to protect themselves or get back at someone. The upcoming months present a particularly volatile period for Scorpios as Mars retrograde activates their desire for control and power. When threatened, they don’t just defend themselves – they strike back with precision and lasting impact. Their betrayals often stem from feeling emotionally exposed or manipulated, making trust a battlefield rather than a bridge.
Leo: The Spotlight Stealer
Leos are magnetic and charismatic individuals who often find themselves in the spotlight. They thrive on recognition and admiration from others, but this desire for attention might lead them to betray others’ trust if it serves their ambition. The current Mars retrograde starting in Leo on December 6, 2024, brings particular intensity to their actions and motivations, forcing them to confront the darker aspects of their need for validation.
During this retrograde period lasting until February 2025, Leos face a cosmic reckoning with their ego-driven behaviors. Mars’s retrograde journey through Leo is an opportunity to redefine, renovate, and rediscover our relationship to instinct, desire, visibility, being seen, creative expression, and sexuality. The upcoming weeks are an invitation for us to explore the link between sexual energy and creative energy and make sure we take time to recognize where our urges come from before following them blindly. Their betrayals often involve stepping on others to maintain their position in the spotlight, particularly when they feel their status is threatened.
Sagittarius: The Freedom Fighter
Sagittarians are adventurous and free-spirited individuals who value their independence above all else. This fierce independence becomes problematic when commitments feel restrictive or when loyalty conflicts with their need for exploration. Sagittarius values freedom & honesty but sometimes betrays by being blunt or careless with others’ feelings causing trust issues.
The philosophical archer’s betrayals often masquerade as honesty or the pursuit of higher truth. During the upcoming planetary tensions, particularly as Mars retrograde in Cancer sextiles Uranus retrograde in Taurus, revolutionizing our lives. Mars retrograde in Cancer aspects Mercury in Capricorn, allowing arguments to begin on January 23, 2025, Sagittarians may find their blunt communication style causing more damage than intended. Their betrayals stem from prioritizing their personal freedom over others’ emotional security, often leaving a trail of hurt feelings disguised as “necessary truths.”
Aquarius: The Detached Deceiver
Aquarians are increasingly thinking about ending their relationship in 2024. Loyalty is not your strongest suit, and you value your independence. When you are emotionally exhausted, you seek comfort from others. The water bearer’s betrayals are often the most unexpected because they come wrapped in intellectual justification and emotional detachment.
With Pluto having permanently moved into Aquarius in 2024, this sign faces unprecedented pressure to transform their approach to relationships and loyalty. Now that Pluto is permanently in Aquarius, until 2044, the universal energy is officially power to the people, but not immediately. We are in an intense time of transformation and rebirth with Pluto in the zodiac sign that is connected to humanity, innovation, rebellion and forward thinking. Aquarians may betray through emotional withdrawal, sudden disappearances, or by intellectualizing away their commitments when relationships become too demanding. Their betrayals feel particularly cold because they often seem calculated and devoid of emotional consideration.
