Horoscope: three zodiac signs said to show narcissistic traits

The Latvian news portal NRA has published a lifestyle horoscope article on which zodiac signs astrology most often links with narcissistic behaviour, citing the German outlet "Bunte". The piece belongs to the astrology genre and cites no scientific research or statistics.

The article describes a narcissist as a person who thinks mainly about themselves and less about others. The term comes from a Greek myth about the young Narcissus, who rejected the love of others and admired his own reflection on the surface of a calm lake.

Libra

Libra is described as a sign inclined to flatter others and to find just the words the other person wants to hear. According to the article, narcissistic Libras lull people into a false sense of security until they trust blindly and do what the sign wants. If someone resists, Libra turns haughty and coldly walks away. The article stresses, however, that not all Libras are like this and that many are empathetic and warm-hearted.

Scorpio

Scorpios are said to be deeply distrustful of their surroundings, especially after negative experiences. Members of the sign tend to generalise such experiences and conclude that the world is hostile, so they put their own interests first and may manipulate others. If someone recognises the reasons behind this behaviour and breaks through their "hard shell", a Scorpio can show self-criticism and work on themselves.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is portrayed as loving lightness and not wanting to get into other people's worries. While friends are doing well, Sagittarius is said to be the best friend imaginable, but when trouble comes the sign does not know how to act. The article says Sagittarius tries to brush a friend off with phrases such as "Everything will be fine" and often gets in touch only once the other person already feels better.
