Not every zodiac sign lives on expectations and imaginary romances. Some are more rational, while others dive headfirst into illusions and emotional fantasies.
+ Strengths and weaknesses of each zodiac sign, according to astrologers
Here is the definitive ranking of the signs, created by astrologers, revealing who is grounded and who gets lost in their own romantic expectations — from the least delusional to the ultimate champion of illusion.
12th – Capricorn: the absolute realist
Capricorn sees things as they are. With both feet on the ground, they don’t buy into illusions, don’t romanticize confusing signals, and don’t believe in vague promises.
Their motto: “Facts, not words.”
Capricorn doesn’t get delusional because they demand consistency, actions, and stability before investing.
11th – Virgo: the analyst who dismantles fantasy
Virgo analyzes everything. Absolutely everything.
This sign needs logic, and anything that doesn’t make sense is immediately discarded.
If someone tries to fool Virgo with romantic talk, they fail the reality test in seconds.
10th – Scorpio: naturally suspicious
Scorpio feels intensely but doesn’t get easily deluded.
They investigate, observe every detail, and wait for concrete proof before giving in.
Fooling a Scorpio? Nearly impossible.
9th – Aquarius: too rational to fall for fairy tales
Aquarius lives in the world of ideas, but not in romantic illusions.
They may fantasize intellectually, but their emotions are filtered through logic.
When they notice inconsistencies, they distance themselves quickly.
8th – Taurus: only gets deluded once attached
Taurus is realistic, but when they enter a relationship, they believe deeply in stability and shared affection.
Taurus only gets deluded when they feel comfortable — and then they insist on what isn’t working.
7th – Leo: trusts their own charisma (sometimes too much)
Leo has natural confidence and charisma, which makes them believe everything will work out because they “give their best.”
They may get deluded by thinking the other person admires them with the same intensity.
But when they notice they’re not receiving the same attention, they return to reality quickly.
6th – Aries: impulsive, not delusional
Aries isn’t deluded by fantasy — but by haste.
They believe something will work because they want it to.
They get excited quickly, idealize the future, and later realize they skipped steps.
But they detach just as fast.
5th – Gemini: creates a thousand stories — but changes quickly
Gemini gets deluded by ideas, not necessarily by feelings.
They see possibilities, imagine scenes, create perfect dialogues and then… change their mind.
A constantly shifting dreamer, who stumbles on their own imagination but recovers quickly.
4th – Cancer: the emotional sign that believes in “happily ever after”
Cancer feels deeply and easily imagines romantic futures.
They idealize the other person, believe in love that heals everything, and ignore flaws when emotionally involved.
A sweet sign — and therefore vulnerable to illusions.
3rd – Sagittarius: the optimist who believes in the best scenario
Sagittarius thinks everything will work out and that people are as sincere as they are.
Their excessive optimism creates illusions:
“It will work out”, “they’ll change”, “it’s just a phase.”
Sagittarius projects grand futures even before seeing concrete signs.
2nd – Libra: the romantic who sees love everywhere
Libra loves to love.
This sign falls for small gestures, creates expectations from minor kindnesses, and believes any connection can turn into a great love story.
They idealize, fantasize, and keep the charm alive even with many red flags.
1st – Pisces: the supreme champion of illusion
No sign surpasses Pisces in this ranking.
Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and fantasies, Pisces lives in a parallel emotional reality.
They believe in ideal love, in the other person’s change, in destiny, in soulmates, in what *could* be — not in what actually is.
Pisces not only gets deluded: they create entire universes in their own mind.
