Feeling angry or agitated is natural to humans, like any other emotion. However, it puts us at our vulnerable best when the emotion overpowers all others. While some might have a short fuse, reacting to situations rashly, others have more control over themselves, helping them make better decisions and behave appropriately. Moreover, the intensity of the emotion differs from one person to another. One way to know who among us can lose their cool easily is through astrology, as it can help rank the zodiac signs that are likely to get angry quickly.
Why do some zodiac signs have anger issues?
The unique temperaments and traits of each zodiac sign make them special. Although there is no such thing as an ideal zodiac sign, a few sun signs are more dashing, energetic, action-oriented, impulsive and temperamental than the rest. The reasons are the elements they belong to and the planets ruling them.
While water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) are meditative and emotional, it is difficult to rile up the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) as they let logic rule over their emotions. Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are charming, intelligent and generally non-confrontational. Because of their need to be liked by all, they seldom lose their temper. Meanwhile, the fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) are infamous for letting the ambers of their tempers always burn.
Additionally, the planets Mars and Jupiter are associated with drive, motivation, ambition and adventure but also anger. Aries and Sagittarius are associated with these planets and that explains their fiery nature.
Five zodiacs who tend to lose their cool easily
Aries
They are the first among the fire signs and are known as the babies of the zodiac. Symbolised by a ram, they seldom have control over their extreme emotions and rank high on the angry zodiac sign list. Furthermore, they are ruled by the planet of drive and energy, Mars, which makes them a bit impatient and volatile — the main reason behind their bad rep for being short-tempered.
But if managed well, Arieshave the power to turn their anger into something constructive and their never-say-die attitude helps them achieve seemingly impossible projects with ease.
Leo
The second fire sign, denoted by the lion, is large-hearted and loves a string of followers hyping it up. Ruled by the Sun, they are optimistic, charming and gregarious people. However, if irked, they can flare up and display a bad temper which, could be difficult to control. They like to wield power over their family and friends but get flustered if things do not go according to their plan.
Leos need to learn to gain a perspective from others and let go if they can’t control certain situations.
Scorpio
Although Scorpio is a water sign, it is one of the most vengeful and intense zodiacs. They have an accurate sense of intuition, and their emotional intelligence is the key feature of their personality. Denoted by a scorpion and ruled by the planet of destruction and rebirth, Pluto, these signs are capable of being cold and distant if rubbed the wrong way. They do not necessarily display a full-blown temper, but they tend to internalise their anger and keep grudges for long.
Scorpions could communicate their feelings and resolve them rather than letting them fester and bother them.
Sagittarius
They are the last of the fire signs. ASagittarius is a fun-loving zodiac ruled by the planet of adventure and travel, Jupiter. They are growth-oriented people who like to explore different things and not confine themselves to one objective. They tend to get impatient quickly in a hurry to do everything at once.
Another salient feature of a true blue Sag is its need to be brutally honest. They are known for their sharp tongues and hate mincing words to soften the blow. This quality makes them seem angry because though they are stating facts, their tone is not gentle at all.
Taurus
It is difficult to anger this stable earth sign denoted by a celestial bull. But if they lose their cool, it is equally tedious to calm them down. Ruled by the planet of love and money Venus, Taureans have a nurturing and indulgent side to them. However, they are known for their stubborn attitude as well. They do not like to be questioned and are generally not very submissive.
An embodiment of physical and mental strength, if they are convinced about something, it is difficult to change their mind. This is because of their fighting spirit. A Taurus will fight until the end of this world to prove their point.
