Some people are just downright nasty. They may call people names. Sometimes, they can come off as condescending.
If you’ve ever wondered about a colleague’s bad behavior, astrology may hold the answer. Read on to discover the six nastiest zodiac signs. These range from slightly unpleasant to downright disagreeable.
Gemini
Geminis are famously two-sided. One side is friendly and sociable. But they can also be quite intense at times.
The duality of their nature leads to some Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde moments. “They can suddenly flip in a flash of anger,” astrologer Jetta warns.
While Geminis are usually quite affable, you should be cautious when they get angry.
“Because of their verbal prowess, they can be quite incendiary and hurtful with their words,” Jetta notes. But don’t worry. Before you know it, they’ll be back to their usual selves.
Cancer
Cancers are complicated. This emotional sign knows how to hold a grudge. If they feel wronged, you need to watch out.
Jetta warns that Cancers, like their crab namesake, “can sometimes snap at people when they get into one of their moods.”
When angry or sad, they put up walls or retreat into their shell. At their worst, Cancers are capable of extreme pettiness.
However, they are rarely overtly nasty. Instead, they’ll be mildly rude and passive-aggressive.
If you mention their bad behavior, they probably won’t admit to any wrongdoing. They’ll snap back instead.
Aquarius
Aquarians can seem quite distant. This is because they’re often lost in thought or lecturing without listening. This can make them seem nasty at times.
According to Jetta, this edgy sign can appear disagreeable because of their detached disposition. “They can often be out of touch with the impact their actions have on others,” she says.
If an Aquarius seems nasty, they might just have trouble understanding others.
Virgo
Virgos are analytical perfectionists. They can often use their analysis to pass judgment on themselves and others.
Jetta says their dark side can lead them to be “even harsher towards others, especially as a projection of their own self-loathing.”
You should watch out for an embittered Virgo. They can be exceedingly vitriolic.
After their bad behavior, they feel a lot of guilt and remorse. This may deepen their self-loathing, creating a cycle of despair and unresolved pain.
Alice Alta, resident astrologer for the Futurio app, says that Virgos “have a keen eye for imperfection.” This means they can criticize people 24/7.
But their intentions are good. They want to help people improve by pointing out their flaws.
Aries
Aries can be brutal, hurtful, and very nasty. But if you find yourself fighting with an Aries, know that it won’t last long.
They’ll probably feel remorseful after their outburst. “Aries is less inclined than other signs to hold grudges,” Jetta explains.
So, don’t be surprised if they move on quickly after a serious squabble.
Scorpio
Scorpios are known for being vicious at times. “Because of their scary scorpion persona, Scorpio often gets unfairly misunderstood,” says Jetta.
They use their powers of perception to identify problems at the root level. According to Alta, Scorpio feels like a fighter against evil.
Their purpose is to eliminate it. If they perceive someone as evil, they’ll attack quickly. They’ll boldly criticize the shortcomings of others.
