What are the incompatible zodiac signs?

We always talk about zodiac sign compatibility. Which signs get along best? And who should we date to have a union blessed by the stars? But what happens if we choose to ask ourselves with which signs our sun is really, truly incompatible? Of course, this is a complex topic, to be applied to our lives with some caution and depth. To truly understand if our dislike for a colleague, an acquaintance, a neighbor, or anyone else is provoked by the stars, we would indeed need to read the respective natal charts. While we search for our trusted astrologer, however, we can outline some general principles, to be taken with a grain of salt. Let's go!

Signs Not Compatible with Aries

Aries is humble, direct, and impulsive. These traits might be a bit too much for the sensitive and emotional water signs, such as Pisces and Cancer. However, a good match for Aries could be Scorpio. These two signs share tenacity and have sexual energy to spare.

Signs Not Compatible with Taurus

Taurus and Leo are not compatible, and there's nothing to be done about it. They are the two most stubborn signs of the zodiac, and when they argue, no one wins. Additionally, Leo's somewhat egocentric nature tends to clash with Taurus' relaxed and slow approach to life's issues. They share a love for beautiful things, but that might not be enough.

Signs Not Compatible with Gemini

The sign of Gemini, social and talkative, gets along with almost everyone. Sometimes it's said that they don't get along with Leo because both signs have very strong personalities. Other times, Scorpio is mentioned because its ambitious and moody nature tends to hold grudges and feel envy, which doesn't match well with Gemini's lightness.

Signs Not Compatible with Cancer

Cancer, unlike Gemini, might have difficulty finding someone to get along with, especially if their natal chart is dominated by water. Aries' aggressiveness might make them sad, as could Scorpio's tendency to hold grudges. Sometimes, Cancer doesn't even get along with other Cancers, as they make each other hypersensitive. Their best matches? Earth signs, like Capricorn. The worst match? Aquarius, who destabilizes Cancer with its coldness.

Signs Not Compatible with Leo

Leo gets along with anyone who agrees to shower them with compliments. However, they are not compatible with Aquarius and Scorpio. The former tends to be reserved and not very expressive, while the latter might be a bit too argumentative and envious, especially regarding the relationships Leo might build with others.

Signs Not Compatible with Virgo

People born under the sign of Virgo need to be in control of the situation. Because of this, a Sagittarius, who loves to argue at any moment, could cause chaos in their routine. There's something off between them, and they would end up feeling anxious and limited. Usually, Pisces aren't a good match either, because they spend too much time daydreaming with their head in the clouds.

Signs Not Compatible with Libra

Libra doesn't get along well with Virgo and Capricorn. After all, Libra is a sign that seeks balance and needs time to achieve it, so they dislike the speed and practicality of earth signs and don't want to feel pressured or forced to move too quickly.

Signs Not Compatible with Scorpio

Scorpios should stay away from Libra and Leo. Their nature, intelligent and cerebral, brings out the worst in them when they are around these signs, becoming jealous and vindictive. To make matters worse, Scorpio tends to detest Libra's overly social and friendly nature, their way of socializing and flirting, their indecision, and their slowness. In short, it's better to let it go.

Signs Not Compatible with Sagittarius

Sagittarius tends to avoid Capricorn and Virgo. Sagittarius loves to explore, act spontaneously, and not make plans. Earth signs live to work, love organization and order. They won't agree with a last-minute trip organized by Sagittarius, and they won't join in last-minute Christmas shopping.

Signs Not Compatible with Capricorn

Capricorns don't have time for nonsense, so it's better to keep them away from Gemini and Libra. Gemini talks too much for them, and Libra is a bit too flirty. They could be a good match for Cancer, to make them less delicate and support them through life's challenges.

Signs Not Compatible with Aquarius

Aquarius might not get along with Taurus, who is too stubborn and resistant to change for their innovative nature. Similarly, they don't like Cancer, who is too open and sentimental. Aquarius prefers to keep their feelings to themselves, and doesn't make big displays of joy or sorrow.

Signs Not Compatible with Pisces

Pisces likes to dream, living in a fairy tale and a perfect kingdom they've built in their head. This might conflict with Aquarius and Capricorn. Their tendency toward silence and introversion might also make it hard to tolerate Gemini and Leo, who are too dominant and intense.
