Taurus (April 20–May 20): The Frustrated Fighter

Taurus lovers are pretty practical, meaning it can take a lot to anger or upset them. They may let things stew for a while, trying not to let things reach a boiling point. However, when they do, that level-headedness evaporates and makes them needy and emotional.

Gemini (May 21–June 20): The Fast-Talking Debater

Geminis are great at debating which means they excel at making a good argument. They're known for loving a good intellectual banter. Sometimes instead of arguing out of anger, they'll argue for the sake of making you see things from their point of view.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): The Purposeful Fighter

Cancers are known nurturers, but they also like to be the ones in charge of the relationship. Fighting with them can be turbulent at times since they are also sensitive. Even when you disagree with them, it's still important to let a cancer know you care.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): The Easily Agitated Fighter

Leos are not ones to hide their emotions and will make it perfectly clear to their partner when they're upset. They are incredibly stubborn and passionate. As angry as they can become during a fight, their loyalty means they're willing to forgive those who have a strong relationship with them – especially if you give them an extravagant apology gift.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): The Slow Burn

An angry scorpio will always be thinking two steps ahead. If you've done something to upset them you might not even realize until it's far too late. Even though they're a quieter sign, they have an intense temper. It's best to let them calm down and give them space when they're angry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): The Emotional One

An emotional sag will sometimes say whatever they feel they need to in order to win a fight. Sometimes this can mean brutal honesty, even if it comes at the cost of hurt feelings. It's best to not take things they say in the heat of the moment too personally.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18): The Over-Communicator

Aquariuses like to explain how they're feeling, which in theory makes for strong relationships. However, during fights, if their lover is unable to communicate in the same way as them it can turn a small spat into a much larger blowout.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): The Avoidant Fighter

Pisces don't often get into fights. It takes a lot to push them to a point of breaking down during a confrontation, but when they do they know how to twist the knife due to their intuitive and observant nature. Expect them to forgive but never forget.
