Your Zodiac Sign’s Most Toxic Love Match

Sometimes two people simply aren’t meant to be together, no matter how hard they try to make their relationship work. Different values, communication styles, love languages, and life goals can all contribute to a romance turning toxic. Every zodiac sign is compatible with several other signs, but there is always one zodiac that is guaranteed to be a bad match. Here’s which star sign you should avoid, according to astrology, and why you two are so toxic together.

Aries and Virgo

If you want endless fighting and drama, just lock a Virgo and an Aries alone in a room together and watch what happens. These two signs have a lot in common – they are both brutally honest and authentic, prone to anxiety, and hate asking for help. But Aries people are impulsive, energetic, and see the big picture, while Virgos are careful, prepared, and focused on details. As soon as one of these signs notices something about the other they don’t like, they won’t hold back from voicing their opinion. They both have quick, sharp tongues and will argue until they have no choice but to separate (or be separated).

Taurus and Sagittarius

Taurus loves to stay home and feel cozy, while Sagittarius craves excitement and is always on the go. While Taurus is practical and grounded, Sagittarius is dreamy and, at times, unrealistic. Taurus wants to spend quality time on the couch together, feeding each other snacks and watching their favorite shows, while Sagittarius would rather be having wild adventures on the road. Although they can learn a great deal from their relationship, these two zodiacs are ultimately just too dissimilar to work out. They bring out each other’s insecurities, have different love languages, and just generally aren’t compatible enough to build a lasting romance.

Gemini and Scorpio

Scorpio and Gemini are two of the most intense zodiac signs in relationships, and together, that intensity can turn toxic. Scorpios are dark and mysterious, and they don’t care what other people think of them – they just want the unconditional, unwavering love of that one special person in their life. Geminis are different – they are social butterflies and enjoy getting attention and new admirers everywhere they go. Both zodiacs have multifaceted personalities and a lot going on beneath the surface, so it’s hard for them to truly know and understand one another. Jealousy abounds in this romance because Geminis are flirtatious and free-spirited, which drives possessive Scorpios wild. Scorpios are sensitive and emotional, while Geminis are practical and analytical. Scorpio wants a partner who can sense their needs and fulfill them without asking, while Geminis prefer direct verbal communication. Their different relationship needs and communication styles spell trouble for this couple, and they are better off with more compatible zodiacs.

Cancer and Aquarius 

Oh boy, where to begin with these two? They are polar opposites in every way, and not the kind that attract like magnets. Cancer is a water sign, known for being sensitive and emotional. As the first water sign of the zodiac, they are the least spiritually “mature” and therefore struggle to understand and control their wide array of feelings. Aquarius, on the other hand, is an air sign, known for being practical and logical. As the final air sign of the zodiac, they are very spiritually “mature” and, if anything, are a bit too emotionally controlled and restrained. Aquarius gets annoyed by Cancer’s outbursts, while Cancer can never tell how Aquarius really feels. They are on two vastly different emotional planes and can never provide what the other wants and needs in a relationship.

Leo and Capricorn

Leo and Capricorn have almost nothing in common, and instead of balancing each other, they highlight one another’s weaknesses and insecurities. Earth sign Capricorn is stoic, serious, and ambitious. They are problem solvers who spot flaws and aren’t afraid to point them out to fix them. Leos thrive on attention and adoration, so Capricorn’s frequent criticism and inability to give words of affirmation leaves them feeling unloved. Meanwhile, Capricorn becomes frustrated with Leo’s stubbornness and blind optimism – they get sick of always being the practical one who handles the tough stuff. Leo needs someone as fun-loving and affectionate as they are, while Capricorn is better off with a partner who works hard in life and in the relationship.

Libra and Pisces

On the one hand, it seems like these two have a lot in common and should get along great: they are both kind, compassionate, and have big dreams. On the other hand, their approach to life and communication styles are so different that they can’t avoid arguments. Air sign Libra is practical and logical, while water sign Pisces is emotional and intuitive. Social Libra likes to go out and be around lots of people, while sensitive Pisces can get overwhelmed by too much interaction and stimulation. Libra can be a bit superficial and flirtatious, while Pisces is deeply spiritual and accepts nothing less than total devotion. They are both indecisive and people-pleasers, which can lead to them going in circles trying to keep the other happy while getting nowhere and making themselves miserable in the process. Although they care deeply for each other, ultimately these two zodiacs are better off as friends than in a romantic partnership.
