Some negotiations require strategy. Others require an escape plan. Every zodiac sign has a different approach to getting what they want—some play fair, some play mind games, and some just play dumb until the conversation ends. Here’s how to survive a negotiation with each sign.
Aries – The Action Movie Star
Speed is the name of the game. Present the deal quickly, make it sound like a high-stakes mission, and let them feel like the hero. Otherwise, they’ll get bored and start an argument just for entertainment.
Taurus – The Stubborn Ranch Owner in a Western
They’re not moving unless bribed with food, money, or comfort. Speak calmly, offer tangible rewards, and never—under any circumstances—rush them. Taurus moves at the speed of a slow-motion explosion.
Gemini – The Talk Show Host Who Asks Too Many Questions
They’ll argue both sides of the deal just for fun. Keep answers short, engage in their chaos, and throw in an unexpected plot twist to keep their attention. Expect at least three tangents before an actual agreement.
Cancer – The Romantic Drama Lead Who Feels Everything
Start negotiations with emotional reassurance. If they sense manipulation, expect a monologue about loyalty and betrayal. Mention family, nostalgia, or homemade soup, and suddenly, things go smoothly.
Leo – The Oscar-Winning Actor in a Biopic
Flattery. Always flattery. Compliment their skills, their presence, their ability to make the deal exciting. If they feel undervalued, prepare for a dramatic walkout—preferably in slow motion.
Virgo – The Overqualified FBI Profiler
Facts, logic, and a well-organized PowerPoint presentation. They’ll spot loopholes before the conversation starts, so bring a foolproof plan. If anything seems sloppy, they’ll fix it themselves and charge for labor.
Libra – The Rom-Com Lead Who Just Wants Everyone to Be Happy
They hate conflict but love good deals. Make everything sound fair, aesthetically pleasing, and like something their therapist would approve of. Any sign of tension, and they’re faking a phone call to leave.
Scorpio – The Noir Detective Who Knows Too Much
They already know the deal before it’s offered. Come prepared, be honest, and don’t blink first. If there’s secrecy, expect a psychological thriller where Scorpio wins in the final act.
Sagittarius – The Adventurer Who Can’t Stay in One Place
Make the deal sound fun, exciting, or like something Anthony Bourdain would do. If it involves restrictions, meetings, or “settling down,” they’re already booking a flight elsewhere.
Capricorn – The Billionaire CEO in a Suit
They don’t negotiate—they dictate. Offer efficiency, long-term benefits, and an ROI worth their time. Any sign of nonsense, and they’re working on a five-year plan without further discussion.
Aquarius – The Tech Genius Who’s Already 10 Steps Ahead
Expect the unexpected. They’ll counter with something bizarre but somehow logical. Frame the deal as innovative, future-proof, or society-changing, and they’ll actually consider it.
Pisces – The Indie Movie Protagonist Who’s Lost in Thought
Speak in metaphors, soft tones, and preferably while playing lo-fi music in the background. If they seem lost, give them time. If they disappear mid-negotiation, they’ve probably gone to write poetry about it.
