According to astrology, we all have a mix of positive and negative personality traits. However, determining which zodiac signs are genuinely risky is subjective. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “dangerous” as having the potential to cause harm.
So, what makes a zodiac sign “dangerous” varies from person to person. Nonetheless, some signs might exhibit traits linked to widely recognized risky behavior.
What is the most dangerous zodiac sign?
A study from 2021 concluded that Capricorn holds the title for the most dangerous zodiac sign. The research examined the Sun signs of 485 known serial killers, revealing that Capricorn killers, on average, had the highest number of victims.
In a 2015 instance, there were claims that the FBI released a study ranking zodiac signs based on their inclination towards criminal activity, with Cancer allegedly being the most dangerous. However, no such FBI study has been proven or released.
It’s crucial to remember that correlation does not imply causation. Finding similarities between two variables doesn’t necessarily mean one causes the other. It’s essential to delve deeper into the data.
Considering typical personality traits and statistical information, here is a ranking of the most dangerous zodiac signs, from the most to the least treacherous.
1. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn is considered the most risky zodiac sign due to its potential involvement in various types of unlawful activities. With a somewhat careless nature, Capricorns may engage in crimes ranging from petty theft to more serious offenses like homicide. However, their downfall lies in their lack of caution, making them susceptible to getting caught easily.
2. Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Leos can display a somewhat erratic temperament, often appearing aggressive. Governed by fiery energy and symbolized by a Lion, Leos can be impulsive, allowing their temper to dictate their actions, potentially making them hazardous in certain situations.
3. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios pose a threat due to their inclination towards jealousy, aggression, and sadistic behavior. Their dangerous potential is heightened when circumstances are unfavorable, as their manipulative tendencies and ability to pull strings can lead to harm, even if they aren’t directly involved in criminal acts.
4. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius stands out for its tough demeanor and adept thievery skills. While they avoid violence unless faced with a life-threatening situation, under specific conditions, they can exhibit extreme brutality. Research from the Las Vegas Review-Journal indicates Sagittarians excel in theft, with a notable incarceration rate related to burglary, robbery, forgery, and fraud.
5. Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Aquarius may possess a manipulative and vengeful side. Typically well-mannered, Aquarians excel in revenge tactics, leveraging their charismatic leadership skills for manipulation and showcasing proficiency in hacking. Their ability to carry out illicit activities is notable.
6. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra might involve themselves in financial or drug-related crimes. Despite their symbolic association with scales, Libras, while not easily breaking the law individually, are drawn to monetary gains. They often participate in organized crime, focusing on activities such as bank robbery and drug-related offenses.
7. Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, known for their stubbornness, detest being dominated. In response, they may choose unconventional, sometimes illegal, careers such as hired gunmen to avoid traditional competition. Notably, Aries also has a higher likelihood of committing arson, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
8. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces is more likely to pose a danger to themselves than others. Ruled by Neptune, associated with addiction and escapism, Pisceans have a predisposition toward substance abuse. Their danger lies in self-destructive behaviors related to drugs and alcohol.
9. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Despite being widely disliked, Gemini isn’t inherently dangerous. Their criminal tendencies may lean towards theft, but not necessarily violent crimes. Geminis are characterized by inconsistency and shallowness.
10. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos exhibit a unique skill in discreet stealing. Their perfectionist nature is well-suited for thievery, executed with precision and leaving minimal traces. Virgos are most likely to engage in crimes like hacking and burglary.
11. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancers, known for their nurturing and sensitive nature, are generally not perceived as dangerous. However, their emotional depth may drive them to commit crimes of passion when pushed to extremes.
12. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, according to the Review-Journal, is the least prevalent zodiac sign among criminals in Clark County, making them the least dangerous. Their most common offense involves texting while driving, posing a risk to themselves and those around them.
