4 Zodiac Duos Who Are Always Tempted By Each Other (But Are So Toxic)

We all adore a good forbidden romance and enemies-to-lovers story. Here are four zodiac duos that are most likely to start out as mortal enemies but end up as passionate lovers, always tempted by each other. Their physical passion and sensual tension can also quickly transform into toxicity.

Leo and Sagittarius.

It’s no surprise that these two feisty fire signs would have some friendly – at times intense – ongoing competition between them. Leo is a natural-born performer and show-stopping entertainer. Playful Sagittarius organically draws attention because of their gregarious charm and lively and flirtatious demeanor. Both can compete for the spotlight in ways that can appear childish to outsiders. But for them, this power struggle has a meaningful undercurrent and animalistic tension – a greater purpose, if you will. Sagittarius views Leo as arrogant and entitled while Leo sees Sagittarius as a know-it-all flake. This creates a constant friction of egos that can evolve into plenty of anger-turned-to-passion in the bedroom. Heated arguments quickly escalate into mind-blowing pleasure. Both can strive to “outperform” the other in a battle of wits and physical “prowess.”

Taurus and Gemini

Sturdy Taurus likes a solid foundation and stability. Gemini is always on the go and famously unreliable at times. Taurus can see Gemini as duplicitous, cunning, and manipulative – someone who always puts themselves first. But secretly, as much as Taurus will complain about the unpredictable Gemini, it is exactly a Gemini’s unpredictability that turns a Taurus on. Loyal, devoted Taurus wants to “tame” the “wildcard” Gemini who enjoys variety in romance and often has many options pursuing her. Gemini can find Taurus a bit too controlling and possessive for her liking, but secretly likes the fact that he’s territorial because it can manifest in “creative” ways in the bedroom. Both can find “ecstasy” in their differences if they’re willing to experiment with the idea of letting go of control.

Cancer and Scorpio

The sensual tension between Cancer and Scorpio can be explosive, but their relationship is one of extremes. The moody Cancer who wears their emotions on their sleeve and the mysterious, evasive Scorpio who prefers to keep their emotions at check can find themselves at odds when it comes to communication. What begins as eloquent discussions spurred on by the intellectual and emotional depth of both partners can quickly escalate into petty arguments if one fails to understand the other. Yet they can find a common language in their passion for physical affection. Both are possessive over each other which can cause them to become dangerously enmeshed with one another in a way that defies reason. Yet this can lead them to become combative in ways that still fuels many passionate “makeup” adventures in the bedroom.

Scorpio and Scorpio

This pair is double the power and double the intensity. One might assume that Scorpio would enjoy meeting their mirror image in another and get along with someone who is their true match. But this is no mere battle – this is an outright war. Scorpio and Scorpio can become the ultimate mortal enemies because they are so similar. Each keeps secrets from the other and never lets the other know what they’re really up to. All this concealment of true intentions and emotions can create a magnetic curiosity between them, leading to an intense physical intensity but a turbulent emotional undertow. The Scorpio finally encounters a mysterious, secretive, seductive charisma equal to theirs and it both intrigues and terrifies them. With this alluring pair, they have a need to both “devour” each other and destroy each other.
