Styler, the entertainment project by RBC-Ukraine, published a lighthearted ranking of the zodiac signs that, according to astrologers, are best at hiding the truth, skillfully dodging awkward questions, and convincing their interlocutor of their own version of events. The piece is purely for entertainment and is not a scientific claim: it is a collection of subjective assessments of each sign's behavioral "masks," helping readers look at familiar personality traits in a new light. Below are Styler's key observations for each entry in the ranking.
Top of the Ranking: Scorpios as the Most Skilled "Liars"
In this playful list, Styler names Scorpios as the most adept at hiding the truth. According to the publication, they know how to suppress their emotions, reveal nothing extra, and wait for the right moment, which makes it especially hard to tell that something is up. Right behind them at the top are Capricorns, who rarely lie without reason but, once they decide to keep something hidden, act with careful planning: they control their emotions, say nothing unnecessary, and are not easy to expose. According to Styler's assessment, Gemini hold a reputation as masters of the word — they easily tailor their story to the listener, quickly come up with a plausible explanation, and never lose the thread of the conversation.
Middle of the Ranking: Masking Through Details and Words
According to Styler, Virgos are good at noticing details and building a logical version of events in advance, although excessive deliberation in itself can arouse suspicion. Libra know how to choose the right words and persuade without pressure, presenting the truth in such a way that it sounds entirely different. Aquarius come up with unconventional explanations that are hard to refute on the spot, and they maintain a convincing demeanor thanks to their coolness. Cancer, in turn, read their interlocutor's emotions and are able to hide the truth for their own peace of mind or to avoid hurting a loved one.
Bottom of the Ranking: When Emotions Give You Away
At the other end of the scale, Styler places the signs that find it harder to hide the truth. Aries do not like to spend a long time inventing complicated stories and quickly give themselves away through their emotions or an overly blunt answer. Sagittarius value freedom and are reluctant to spend time on convoluted explanations, and their exaggerations for effect do not make them convincing liars. Taurus may hide the truth to avoid a conflict, but they are not inclined to build elaborate legends, so an attentive listener notices the inconsistency. Pisces have a rich imagination, but their emotions often get the better of them, betraying their insincerity through their behavior and mood. Leo carry themselves confidently, but their love of the spotlight makes them add extra details and complicate their own version.
Context and Limitations of the Ranking
Styler emphasizes that the project combines entertainment and lifestyle, publishing trends, advice, and horoscopes, and that the editorial position may not coincide with the views of the authors. Subjective assessments, in accordance with Ukrainian law, are not subject to refutation or proof of their truthfulness. Previously, Styler also published astrological forecasts about who will face changes from September 10, indicating the publication's regular format of horoscope-related content.
