Cheating in the stars
An AshleyMadison.com survey revealed the majority of adulterous South African members are Gemini women and Pisces men.

Gemini is well known to be the most playful sign of the zodiac, represented by the twins. They can easily compartmentalise their lives and juggle two or more people at once.
Pisces, the rulers of the imagination and fantasy, are known to be extreme and can’t let their curiosities go unexplored.
Gemini men also fall within the top three philandering star signs.
Itumeleng Khune, a Gemini, has proved this theory correct. The Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper was rumoured to be scoring with someone other than his on-again-off-again girlfriend Minnie Dlamini back in 2013.
“I find these results fascinating,” says Dr Eve, a well-known South African sexologist currently writing a book on cyberinfidelity.
“My research reveals people seek playfulness online, and cyberinfidelity is an easy and accessible way to find this playfulness. Since adulterers have to juggle their lives, it makes sense the majority of women are Gemini. Imagination and fantasy are exactly what cyberinfidelity is about, hence the dominant presence of Pisces men.”
While some signs are instinctive cheaters, the survey also reveals the signs that fall on the other end of the spectrum: Capricorn women and Sagittarius men seem to be the most faithful.
If that is true, Sagittarian Brad Pitt may well have been telling the truth when he said he wasn’t cheating on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie. However, Brangelina were seen together shortly after Aniston and Pitt split up.
Kristen Stewart, who shocked Twi-hards by cheating on co-star Robert Pattinson, is one of the Aries examples. According to the survey, Aries women are in the fourth most likely category.
“The correlation between zodiac signs and the tendency to cheat is an interesting one and, by looking at the data, it’s hard to disagree our birth date has something to do with the predisposition to have an affair,” says Noel Biderman, CEO and founder of AshleyMadison.com.
“Of course, to say all Gemini females and Pisces males are cheaters is ridiculous – but the fact they top the list on the site should serve as a warning.”
