We all have that one friend, family member, or co-worker – the one who will never agree with us, no matter what. Even if we know deep down that they share our views, this person can’t help but play devil’s advocate. What makes them so different, and why do they refuse to sympathize with them? Here are four stars who like to play devil’s advocate, and how astrology explains their tendency toward conflict.
Aries: The Debater
Aries people are very loyal, so they will protect and blindly agree with their loved ones. However, Aries people also love a good argument, and are known to start arguments. This is because Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of conflict, intensity, and violence. Mars defines the fighting nature of this star sign and its unwillingness to back down from a fight. Aries people are eager to go to war, and can raise an argument about anything (even if it actually contradicts their beliefs). They will play devil’s advocate when they are bored, want to help you strengthen your argument, or feel like flexing their debating muscles. And, as a quick sign of thinking, they will come up with a crazy idea or math so fast that your head will spin. You can go around with Aries, and as soon as they come to terms with you, they’ll find another way to play devil’s advocate.
Gemini: The Curious Researcher
Geminis are very intelligent and curious, so they like to learn about all sides of an argument. This is because Gemini is represented by twins – the natural duality of this star sign means that they understand that there are two sides to every story, and they may have opposing views within themselves. Part of them may agree with you while the other remains unsure, so they play devil’s advocate to see if you can fully persuade them. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of intelligence, speech, and quick thinking. This means that Geminis research their arguments well, and are good at expressing their opinion. It is a challenge to win a debate against this star because they are very knowledgeable and have silver tongues. They play devil’s advocate just to see how much you really know, and to better understand all sides of the situation.
Libra: The Right Minded Peacemaker
Libras are logical and talkative, which is why they often play devil’s advocate. As the sign represented by scales, Libras are naturally interested in justice and fairness. They believe that everyone deserves to be heard and treated equally, regardless of whether they agree with your point of view. Libras are also natural peacemakers, often finding themselves in the position of middle man between two opposing factions. They are good at making sure that everyone feels seen and that the most equitable outcome is achieved. This zodiac plays devil’s advocate to represent all points of view and help others find a fair, reasonable solution to their disagreements. And they never come across as argumentative or unkind when presenting their arguments.
Aquarius: Rebellious Contrarian
No zodiac loves to play devil’s advocate more than Aquarius. In fact, reverse psychology works better in this star sign than any other, because Aquarians hate being told what to do and prefer to go against the grain. This is because Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of rebellion, individuality, and impartiality. This zodiac is not afraid to be completely different from everyone and defends a controversial opinion. Playing devil’s advocate comes naturally to them, not because they like to argue, but because they enjoy offering a unique perspective. Aquarians never follow culture or social norms blindly – they choose to chart their own path. They see the big picture and are happy to present as many counter-arguments against your argument as possible.
