The Evil Inside: The Dark Zodiac Characteristics Lurking in Each Sign

It’s no secret that astrology and horoscopes are a huge fad. Even though only 26% of Americans say they believe in astrology, almost everyone has read their horoscope at some point. Most people, probably including you, have seen something in their horoscope description that they think matches their personality.

If you’re interested in your star sign or just in understanding horoscopes in general, you’re probably interested in the traits and characteristics that make up your sign. Most horoscopes will show you the good things about your star sign, but every zodiac sign has a dark side, too.

Read on to learn about the dark zodiac…traits from each sign you never, ever want to come into contact with.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Aries are widely known for being argumentative and opinionated, but this is usually spun as a good thing. After all, there’s no shame in being someone with strong opinions or sticking to your guns.

But with an Aries, this often is a precursor to a huge fault. Aries can be extremely intensive arguers and are very combative by nature. When arguing with an Aries, you might not be able to get a word in edgewise, they’re so stubborn!

Taurus (April 21-May 20)

You may think that the opinions of an Aries are dangerous and hard-hitting, but that’s only because you don’t know the dark side of Tauruses yet. Even though Tauruses are loyal, they also are incredibly temperamental.

When a Taurus gets mad, they get mad. The vicious anger of a Taurus when you cross them or someone they love is a terror that is to be avoided at all costs.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Geminis, who you see represented everywhere as a set of twins, are outgoing and love to interact with people, which makes them fun to be around. But sometimes, this extroversion takes a dark turn.

Geminis are notoriously nosy and will do all they can to pry information out of you that’s frankly none of their business. If you want your secrets to stay secret, be careful of Geminis… you might find that you reveal more than you mean to.

Cancer (June 21-July 20)

Cancers make great friends, but they can become a little clingy when you get close. If you know this in advance, you should be fine, but make sure that even if you love your cancer you take some time out of the day for yourself and other relationships.

Also, it’s important to be aware of the moodiness of Cancers. People born under these stars can be really pessimistic and negative, and have mood swings, so keep a lookout.

Leo (July 21-August 20)

Like Cancer, Leos are really moody, but in a different way. Cancer is more of a dull, pessimistic moodiness, but with Leos, it’s a much shorter and temperamental kind of anger.

People under this sign really take on after the lions they’re named for. Leos are really easily irritated, so be careful of offending them. They also are known for being lazy, so getting them out can be a challenge.

Virgo (August 21-September 20)

There are a lot of superficial signs you need to watch out for, but Virgo makes the short list. Virgos can be really vain and obsessed with appearances at the expense of substance.

Virgos are also notoriously condescending. Because of their vanity, they think they know best. Keep in mind that this is a trait of Virgos and you can nip that condescension in the bud before it becomes a real problem.

Libra (September 21-October 20)

Libras truly embody two of the seven deadly sins: gluttony and sloth. Libras like to eat multiple times a day, having many meals and indulging in unnecessary decadence.

After eating, Libras will yawn and go to sleep, not accomplishing anything on some days. It can take a lot of effort to break this cycle, so come to understand that you might need to take extreme measures to break a Libra’s habits.

Scorpio (October 21-November 20)

Scorpios embody another one of the seven deadly sins: wrath. When a Scorpio is wronged, they can hold a grudge. Like the creature they get their name from, people born under this sign have stingers. Scorpios are vengeful, often to the point of being extremely self-destructive.

This flaw might stem back to insecurity. Scorpios are one of the most insecure signs and are really aware of their flaws.

Sagittarius (November 21-December 20)

The well-meaning Sagittarius has a major flaw that stems from making well-meaning comments. They can be straightforward to the point of tactlessness. This makes them act rude when they’re only trying to be honest.

Because of their need to voice their honest opinions, Sagittariuses can also be restless. This just makes them voice their thoughts more, and the cycle repeats itself.

Capricorn (December 21-January 20)

Capricorns are an incredibly stubborn sign. This can stem back to the fact that they fear failure, which makes them not want to admit that they’re ever wrong. This means that they will hold true to their opinions, even when they know they’re not right. They don’t want to look like they don’t know in front of others.

Because of this, it’s tough for Capricorns to open up to people. They can’t stand being corrected and so they avoid voicing opinions.

Aquarius (January 21-February 20)

The lot of the Aquarius is that though they’re factual and consider evidence before forming their opinions, they quickly accept their opinions as fact. This makes them become really closed-minded because they live in their own heads where their ideas are truth.

Because of this, people born under Aquarius can be very detached and emotionally distant. Be careful of insulting an Aquarius’ opinions… you won’t change their mind and will just anger them.

Pisces (February 21-March 20)

The lot of the Pisces is a sad one… really. Pisces is the sign most prone to depression and fits of spiritual unfulfillment. This depression can make a Pisces difficult to be around.

People under Pisces are also over-emotional and can be set off by small, insignificant events. When interacting with a Pisces, be careful that you don’t upset them. You might bring up their temper or flare their sadness, since this isn’t a hard thing to do.
