6 Zodiac Signs Prone To Corruption
It's all about power.
getty It's nearly impossible to think of a world without corruption, or politics, or big money — especially big money. Big money doesn't just happen — it is made, and the various ways that the success of just about anything can happen is by allowing a certain degree of corruption to enter the equation.
What is corruption? It's the eating away of what's good, the eroding of morals, the decay of once valued standards. Government is corrupt; politicians are corrupt; most folks in the position of power are corrupt.
And why? Because corruption, like anger, gets things done. Corruption is taking bribes, offering bribes, doing illegal things for the purpose of creating success. And the corrupt zodiac signs in astrology do all of these things, and more.
If you are the person who can't do the wrong thing and has a conscience of steel, you'd be the one person who denies corruption. Many of us are like this — we simply won't cheat, lie or steal, but that's not how the worlds works. So, for the working world, let's see who is prone to corruption.
1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Well, of course you're corrupt, Scorpio. You run on corruption. You adore the danger of possibly ruining someone's life for your personal gain. You're all about getting ahead at the expense of others.
You let everyone know that you can be bought, that the price is high, and that for that price, you'd be willing to sell just about anyone on earth out, even your mother.
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Is there any particularly corrupt politician/TV star that might fit in well with the Gemini sleaze? Well, hello, Donald Trump! Corrupt much? Donald, like most other Geminis, is as corrupt as one can get.
Corruption means getting what you want, and since you've never had a problem cheating the system, you've never had a problem taking a bribe, signing a contract to end someone's life, or fixing an election. You are royalty when it comes to being corrupt.
3. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You love and adore your family, and for them, you'll do anything. They are the sacred players in your life and you won't hurt them, ever, but for them, oh yeah, you'll bring the hurt to others.
You have no problem whatsoever with fighting dirty when it comes to those you love and want to protect. You'll kill for someone you love, and you'll hire someone to clean up the body. When asked about said missing person, you'll respond, corruptly, "What body?"
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
When you first came on the scene, Capricorn, you had that elusive wish for equality and fairness, until you realized being a nice guy was getting you nowhere. Once that realization kicked in, you knew what you had to do to survive: stab people in the back, lie, cheat and get your way.
You are an amazing business person, but those in the know are aware that you didn't get their with honesty as your best policy.
5. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Fully down for fun and corruption any ol' day of the week, Leo, you see the world as one big theatrical event, and you know that to put on an event, you need to pull strings and grease palms to get what you want. And if anyone wants to get what they want, it's you.
You are a lion, you'll kill for what's yours, and even though that may not mean actual murder, you've got no qualms about destroying someone else's career. You are totally corrupt.
6. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
You are open to the wiley ways of corruption, and you're good at it too. You know how to get away with murder, and you know how to pass the buck. You'll take that bribe and you'll win that election because you are that good at, well... bad.
One thing to watch out for? Don't trust your fellow Aries; they are on to your scheme. A group of Aries might as well be called A Corruption of Aries.
