Zodiac sign 'most likely to cheat' in a relationship is ruled by the planet of love
Fiery Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are known for their strong personalities but when it comes to those most likely to cheat, another zodiac tops the list.
Astrology suggests that people's personalities and behaviours can be influenced by the positions of celestial bodies at the time of their birth.
Within the realm of astrology, some signs are often branded as more likely to be unfaithful. However, the results of a study have shown that it's not the ones you may think.
Despite being known as 'fire signs', Aries, Leo and Sagittarius have avoided the top spot in the ranking of zodiac signs most likely to cheat on their partners.
According to Your Tango, the air sign Libra (born between September 23 to October 22) is more prone to straying in a relationship.
It's a surprising revelation considering Libra's are synonymous with being honest, as represented by the scales motif, but the finer details of this zodiac suggest why they may choose unfaithfulness.
Zodiac signs most likely to cheat
1. Libra
This cardinal sign is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, romance, money, beauty, and art. This rule speaks to how you express your desires and passions, what you value, and how you relate to and experience pleasure. It also influences how you socialise, relate to, and attract others.
According to Co-Star, common Libra traits include being conflict-avoidant, which may suggest why being secretly unfaithful is preferred over deciding to end a relationship - Libra are also supposedly indecisive.
Teamed with being "huge flirts", as put by Your Tango, this usually harmless action can sometimes go too far when Libra is in a committed partnership.

2. Gemini
Those who identify with the Gemini zodiac (May 21 to June 21), are considered to be "needy" in a relationship. According to Your Tango, this suggests that if you can’t give them around-the-clock attention, they'll find someone who can.
Similar to Libra, Geminis can be indecisive so they like to have options, which is why they may choose to keep you around if there's something they can gain. Your Tango claimed: "Gemini is most likely to cheat if they want it all - and if one or two partners can’t give them that, who is to say they won't go out to find a third?"
3. Capricorn
Capricorns (December 22 - January 19) look to gain in a relationship; happiness, support, stability and maybe even status. This can be hard to find in one partner, so when Capricorn does find it, they will not be one to risk losing it. Said to be perfectionists, hardworking, and organised, those born under this star sign may also be stubborn and greedy at times.
When it comes to those least likely to cheat on their partners, the study by marital affairs website Illicit Encounters found that Taurus, Cancer and Aries are the most faithful.
Perhaps because they share the loyal trait, these signs are known to commit and value strong relationships above all else.
There's nothing to say that if they're cheated on, however, they wouldn't take revenge. Fiery Aries (March 21 to April 19), wants the betrayer to hurt as much as they did when the relationship ends.
