Zodiacs Ranked From Walking Red Flags To Total Green Flags

This list starts with the red flags. As you scroll further and further down, you find the more green flags. Let’s get into it.

 🚩

ARIES

(March 21 – April 19)

You are brilliant, charismatic, a vibrant dynamo, and dating you is exhilarating like being on the most exciting ride in the coolest amusement park on the planet. But it’s your positive traits that are also your danger signs for anyone intrepid enough to date you. That’s the thing about amusement-park rides. Roller coasters go up—and then they go down. You make your partner laugh—and then you make them cry. You build them up—and then you knock them down. That’s not a recipe for balance—it’s a prescription for chaos. If you turned away from your bad traits and focused only on the good ones, you’d be unstoppable.

LEO

(July 23 – August 22)

You have an infectious laugh, a great smile, and can charm the socks off of any stranger that you meet. You have a wandering spirit that makes you open-minded, inquisitive, and willing to experience just about anything at least once. But it’s that wandering spirit that is also at the core of your problem. Because of some hard knocks you took earlier in life, you get antsy very quickly when it appears that you’ll be stuck in one place with the same person for too long. You have a tendency to flee at the first sign of trouble with someone. Try being alone with your thoughts for a while. Your problems aren’t really as bad as you think they are. If you work them out, you’ll find the peace and stability that causes you to wander from place to place and person to person.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 – January 19)

Although you may tend to think you’ve had a hard life, it often doesn’t seem that way to outsiders. But because you focus on your own sadness and disappointments, it makes you a little numb to what others are going through. Do you realize that when a friend or lover tells you about something bad that is happening to them, you often treat it like it’s a competition and feel like you have to come up with something worse that’s happened to you? Love and friendship are not competitive sports. Learn to listen to what others are saying, and you’ll find that life isn’t nearly as sad and disappointing as you’ve told yourself it is.

TAURUS

(April 20 – May 20)

You are abundantly kind, considerate, and do your best to make those around you feel loved and appreciated. All things considered, there is only one thing wrong with you—the fact that you think there’s something wrong with you. There’s a deep-seated insecurity inside you that throws up some red flags—not as many red flags as there are at May Day parade, mind you, but enough to push people away. Get to the roots of this insecurity. Pinpoint it to a specific traumatic situation that made you this way. Once you process what made you doubt yourself, it’s green flags for the rest of the ride.

SCORPIO

(October 23 – November 21)

Someone once described you as a “firecracker.” You have a dynamic personality and can light the sky with your humor and enthusiasm. But in the wrong hands, a firecracker can cause third-degree burns. Sometimes—and don’t kid yourself—you realize that your ability to persuade and please others is only a front that masks some deep-seated emotional wounds from long ago. Some people can sense this, which is why they keep their distance—as pleasing to the eye as fireworks can be, no one in their right mind wants to get burned.

VIRGO

(August 23 – September 22)

Like day follows night and sunshine follows rain and summer follows winter—and like green lights follow red lights—you embody everything good and bad about humanity. Accordingly, you go through phases of intense happiness and crushing sadness. While this can be exciting for some friends and partners, it can be exhausting for others. If you wish to never again lose someone who meant something to you, focus on the day and the sunshine and the summery side of yourself. You won’t need a traffic light anymore. You won’t even need a stop sign.

🏳 🟩

GEMINI

(May 21 – June 20)

As the saying goes, still waters run deep. You can be outgoing and engaging and sociable when the situation demands it and your mood permits it, but there’s so much depth to you that you often prefer to be alone or with only one other person that you feel understands you. When you open up and let them gaze into depths of your soul, they’ll see one of the most caring and intuitive people they’ve ever met. But also hidden in those depths is a world of pain. The problem is when you inflict that pain on those who are close to you. If you learn that pain isn’t to be shared—it’s to be dumped and left behind—you might finally meet someone willing to carry that pain with you and bury it in a landfill.

SAGITTARIUS

(November 22 – December 21)

Now we’re getting toward the green side of the list, which means that people don’t need to worry about you—you need to worry about them. Your problem, Sag, is that you see the best in people. That’s not a problem on its face, but you are so innocent that you often have trouble seeing the worst. To put it another way, it’s not that you don’t see it—it’s that you refuse to believe that others can truly be as bad as they seem to be. You want the best for everybody—which sometimes leaves you with the worst.

LIBRA

(September 23 – October 22)

You are consistently kind, empathetic, and are willing to be vulnerable. None of this, on its face, is a problem. It only becomes a problem for you due to the fact that many people mistake your kindness for weakness. They see you’re your vulnerability as a chance to exploit you. Learn to spot the narcissists and liars and people who thrive on chaos and jealousy. Don’t let them ever convince you that you’re the problem. Don’t be so quick to give others the benefit of the doubt. If your instincts tell you that someone is a problem, they are—or they will be soon.

PISCES

(February 19 – March 20)

You are reliable, trustworthy, and make people feel good about themselves when they’re around you. You are respectful of others’ boundaries and know how to bring out the best in them. No one ever feels suffocated when they’re around you, but they never feel alone, either. As with all the other “green flags” on this list, you need to learn how to keep the liars and cheaters and swindlers and manipulators at arm’s length. Maybe the best solution would be to have the “red flags” and “green flags” live in different countries. That’s what flags are for, right?

CANCER

(June 21 – July 22)

If you have a problem with a friend or lover, you have the rare ability to articulate it without sounding accusatory. But if you’ve done something wrong, you take the blame rather than blaming them. You’re never jealous without reason, and no matter how badly someone wrongs you, you never fall into the trap of self-pity. You calm others down rather than get them riled up. Despite the unfortunate name of your star sign, you are the cure for relationship cancer.

AQUARIUS

(January 19 – February 18)

I’m dying to know the date and time you fell to Earth from heaven. Do you have pictures? You’re almost too good to be real, but in a world of fakes, you’re the real deal. You’re that good, and anyone who doesn’t realize it the moment that they meet you is going to cause you trouble. Whenever someone has a problem with you, I don’t even need to hear the details. I already know that they’re in the wrong. Did you ever hear someone say, “It’s not you—it’s me”? Trust them when they say that. It’s not you. It’s them. It’s never been you, and it’s always been them.
