Admittedly, that isn't always easy, as true authenticity requires consistently "behaving in congruence with one’s values, beliefs, motives, and personality dispositions," neuropsychologist Theo Tsaousides Ph.D. wrote for Psychology Today, who theorized that authenticity is an emotion rather than a bonafide personality trait.
While most people act inauthentic at some point or another, whether it's to save face or protect others, according to astrologer Carol Starr, there is one zodiac sign that will remain true to themselves no matter what.
The most authentic zodiac sign that values honesty above all else
According to Starr, the most authentic zodiac sign that is "always real" and "always tells the truth" is Taurus.
“The way they are, they’re honest to the T,” Starr explained in a TikTok video.
While Starr notes that Sagittarius is also a very honest sign, what sets Taurus apart is that they don't have the tendency to put their foot in their mouth the way Sagittarius does.
Even under pressure, a Taurus remains calm and steady.
Much of this has to do with Taurus' status as a fixed sign, an astrologer who goes by DM9 explained in a TikTok video. Because of this, “They don’t like to change themselves,” he explained.
Which is why it’s unsurprising that Taurus hates to lie — because to lie is to change themselves or the narrative. And to change that is to be inauthentic to themselves and their experiences.
Plus, Taurus is an earth sign, and according to DM9, earth signs love to stay grounded in reality. They don’t like daydreaming about the what ifs and they’re not known to be the most spiritual. Instead, a Taurus wants straight-up facts and nothing else, which explains why this zodiac sign is always so upfront and honest.
DM9 also adds that Taurus loves to relax and chill. They’re easygoing and like to keep peace, and as we know, lying is the surest way to create misunderstandings and cause the breakdown of relationships. Knowing how disastrous lying can be, Taurus would rather avoid the headache altogether. This is why their easygoing nature encourages them to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
Now, does this mean Taurus is always honest? Absolutely not. But unlike many, Taurus is quick on their feet and knows just what to say and do to get out of a bad situation. When we combine Taurus' logical nature with the fact that they are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, is it any wonder this sign is so powerfully authentic?
