This Is How You Argue, According To Your Zodiac Sign

‘Did you really just say that?’ is a common thought for someone to think while arguing with a Sagittarius.

By

Aries

(March 24th to April 19th)

Aries are extremely competitive and hot-headed. If there’s anything in this world that they truly despise, it’s losing (and that is especially true for arguments). They are the friend of family member we all have that just will never back down. Even when they know they’re wrong, they’ll continue to fight aggressively until they can be sure they’ll have the last word. Bottom line: you don’t want to make an Aries mad.

Taurus

(April 20th to May 20th)

During a fight, Taureans may not seem very forward or bold, but their powerful and responsible nature makes them a very worthy opponent. Their practicality can be hard to argue with because they’ve already thoroughly thought through all sides of the conflict and have a pretty realistic grasp on the problem and solution. A fight with a Taurus will probably end in a hug or some form of loving touch because of the Taurean’s need for tactile sensations.

Gemini

(May 21st to June 20th)

You never quite know what you’re going to get while arguing with a Gemini. Their two-sided personality means that no two arguments with a Gemini will feel quite the same. If there is one thing that is sure, it’s that Geminis do not stay mad for long. They constantly seek out people and hate to be alone so anything that threatens losing friends (like an argument) will fizzle out pretty quickly. They will definitely not hold a grudge.

Cancer

(June 21st to July 22nd)

Cancers are sympathetic and emotional to the extreme. This can make it so during an argument, Cancer’s lose sight of their own objective and become too absorbed in the feelings of the person they are supposedly arguing with. Cancers will often break down during a fight and start crying. Or, explode in a quick fit of rage before settling into their emotional state. They do try to avoid conflict when possible though so it is rare to get in a heated argument with a Cancer.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

A Leo’s arrogance and inflexible nature can make them extremely frustrating to argue with. They are unable to see the other side most of the time and truly believe they are always right or that their needs are the most important. Other signs often resist fighting with a Leo because of a Leo’s regal nature, Leo’s are the most popular of the signs and arguing with them can threaten an association with such a high status person.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

Virgo’s often spark arguments about small details or things that other signs wouldn’t be concerned about. If someone messes with something that they have organized or planned, that person can expect an argument. Virgos will quickly snap in a moment of being overly critical but will not stay angry for long because they are also critical of themselves.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

It is rare to engage in an argument with a Leo because they avoid confrontation at all costs. They are intensely cooperative and fair-minded and have no interest in engaging in arguments or heated disagreements. But if they do engage in an argument, it’s most likely because they’ve noticed someone doing something unjust. They will often get a good friend to join their side and argue with them because they hate doing anything alone.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 21st)

Scorpios are assertive and brave and often have their fingers on the pulse of the underlying secrets of any tricky situation. This can lead to distrust and/or jealousy. During an argument they are bold and ask a lot of difficult, hard-hitting questions to get at the truth of the matter.

Sagittarius

(November 22nd to December 21st)

‘Did you really just say that?’ is a common thought for someone to think while arguing with a Sagittarius. They have no limits on what they will say and do not adhere by the rules of what is “socially acceptable.” Interestingly enough, the often shocking things that come out of their mouth are more a result of their impatience and their need for freedom than actual malintent.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 19th)

Capricorns have a hard time accepting other’s differences and because of this conflict can often arise. Especially in a work setting, they think they are the only one who is able to problem-solve and that their way is always right. During a fight they are extremely condescending and condemn others for actions that don’t align perfectly with the way the Capricorn wants to accomplish things.

Aquarius

(January 20th to February 18th)

Aquarius people have a hard time expressing their emotions. During an argument, they might come off as distant or aloof but this is really just their defense mechanism against their own volatile emotions. When you are engaged in an argument with an Aquarius, the Aquarius is absolutely thinking deeply about all sides of the argument. Highly intellectual creatures, they will ultimately be a very reasonable person to argue with.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

Out of all of the signs, you are least likely to find yourself in an argument with a Pisces. They are over-the-top forgiving and genuinely loving. They are most likely only going to engage in an argument if they see cruelty and wish to stop it. They are selfless and during an argument will always be attempting to understand the other person’s point of view. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
