5 Pushy Zodiac Signs Who Always Get Their Way
They will not be denied.
getty Being pushy isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means you are assertive, but you’re also extremely focused on getting what you want, and you don’t give up. You may rub people the wrong way, but you know you gave it your all at the end of the day.
Thinking of astrology in our lives, the pushy zodiac signs tend to get their way because they keep going until they get what they want. They can be overbearing, and it can be embarrassing if the pushy person is your parent or a friend who is advocating for you.
But here’s the thing: pushy people are honest about who they are and what they want. They don’t try to be something they’re not or pretend to be what they think you want. No, they are their true selves for good or bad, and they’re not going to change, even it makes people uncomfortable to be around them.
If a pushy person needs help to accomplish a goal, they don’t hesitate to get it. They always get their way.
1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios can be extremely manipulative and don't mind using their gifts if it's going to help them get their way. They don't care if they come off as pushy or intense as long as the end results are that their needs are satisfied.
By any means necessary could be Scorpio's strategy. Because they get so focused on what they want, they don't see what the consequences might be.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
When you're pushy in a charming way, it can be a lot easier for people to handle. Leos are known for their captivating personality and the ability to lead. There are times when they need to be more than assertive, but not so much so they seem too aggressive.
Leos are often intense in their focus to get their way, and they can be creative in their pushiness to get it. Are they manipulative or do they have leadership qualities?
3. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus are pushy in the way they hang on to things and can't seem to let them go. If someone makes a choice that Taurus doesn't agree with or does something they . would never think of doing, it's difficult to accept it and move on. They continue to try to stop the other person from doing that thing.
They can be relentless with that stubborn-streak, and can end up annoying the other person until they get so frustrated they follow Taurus' advice.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns can be both pessimistic and pushy, which is not a great combo. If Capricorn thinks your new boyfriend is bound to cheat on you and break your heart, they're going to keep trying to warn them.
It's Capricorn's tenacity that won't allow them to give up until they get their way, even if their way is negative. They are used to hard work, so if they need to keep at someone in order to get it, they will, even if the thing they want is just to have their opinions validated.
5. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis always know exactly what to say, how to modulate their tone, and how to push enough that they get their way without being too alienating. They think before they speak, and they consider their words carefully.
They don't want to appear too aggressive, but if they need to intensify their actions, they will. Geminis manage to be pushy but in a fun, humorous way, unless they're coming from a place of hurt or anger. If that's the case, they can be just as fierce as anyone.
