Flattery is a behavior that few people appreciate, easily recognized by insincere compliments, excessive adaptability, and a constant need to stay in the good graces of authority figures. Some people do it unconsciously because external validation is more important to them than authenticity. Others use it as a strategy—to avoid criticism, gain an advantage, or get closer to people in power. While this behavior might work in the short term, it ultimately causes distrust and irritation. According to astrology, people born under these two zodiac signs are most often labeled as sycophants.
Libra – Are the Biggest Sycophants
People born under the sign of Libra crave peace, harmony, and approval—and they will often do anything to avoid conflict. If that means giving excessive compliments, agreeing with everyone, or adjusting their opinions to match the majority, they will do so without much hesitation. Their need to be liked and accepted makes them prone to flattery, especially toward those in positions of power or authority. Libras want to be adored, so they choose words that sound best to others rather than those that truly reflect their thoughts.
Although they sometimes do this with good intentions, their people-pleasing nature often leads others to distrust them. They can come across as insincere or two-faced because they rarely take a firm stance. When faced with people who value authenticity over politeness, Libras struggle. Their desire to be liked by everyone can actually distance them from relationships that require honesty.
Gemini – Are the Biggest Sycophants
Geminis are masters of communication and adaptability, which can sometimes lead them into the realm of flattery. They quickly notice who holds influence, what someone wants to hear, and how to respond to make a good impression. Their social skills and quick thinking make them likable, but also somewhat elusive when it comes to sincerity. They can effortlessly change their opinions if it benefits them in a social situation, often offering compliments without genuine reasoning behind them.
While many Geminis do this for fun or as part of their natural charm, others don’t always perceive it as harmless. People sometimes accuse them of being two-faced, manipulative, or superficial. Their need to be entertaining and accepted by everyone can push them into behaviors that others see as insincere.
