Being counted among the most argumentative zodiac signs might not seem like a prestigious title to cherish, but the truth is that some signs are quick on their feet when it comes to defending their actions while others are letting their shower run cold as they script all the one-liners they wish they had used in the heat of the moment. Ahead, a closer look at the most (successfully) argumentative zodiac signs so you can pick your battles wisely:
Leo
The king of the jungle is not used to being questioned and it comes as little surprise that this sign feels the need to make a preemptive strike to ensure no one questions their authority later.
Aries
This warrior sign skates through life with their armour on at all times and ready for battle. Being a passionate sign, they are willing to go to any lengths to fight for the ones that they care about.
Capricorn
Irrational rage and meltdowns are good, but have you ever tried the piercing blade of logic to win a fight? The calm, composed nature of a Capricorn as they go about dismantling your argument is often what ruffles the opponent more than the actual argument itself.
Scorpio
Not ones to let their guard down easily, this sign does not forgive quickly if they are betrayed by someone they let into their inner sanctum. However, having the last word in an argument doesn’t hold as much appeal for this water sign as the promise of a cold-blooded strategy for payback.
Aquarius
Arguing with an Aquarius is about as productive as attempting to hug a wall—this sign exists on a higher plane than mere mortals and rarely chooses to descend from their rarefied tower to see things from someone else’s perspective.
Libra
As a sign that holds harmony and balance in high regard, Libra may not come all guns blazing for themselves but if they feel an underdog is being wronged, they will refuse to back down from a fight.
Virgo
Despite being considered a calm, pacifist sign at most times, a Virgo’s insatiable need to be right all the time and do things their predetermined way is what can land them in hot water with their loved ones.
Taurus
This earth sign is stable and extremely grounded—in their own perspective, that is. With an inability to see things from someone else’s point of view and a tendency to lash out when they are feeling defensive, arguing with this sign can test the patience of a saint.
Sagittarius
This sign’s ability to clearly vocalise their feelings means that arguments won’t end with plates being smashed or eight-page-long apologies—they simply won’t end because they lost interest halfway through.
Gemini
This twin-headed sign has a hard time reconciling the duality of their own personalities, which can also mean that they unintentionally start arguing for the opposite side twenty minutes into an argument.
Cancer
Being right isn’t as important to this sign as ensuring that nobody’s feelings are hurt. This deep-rooted sense of empathy means that they often quash their own feelings and let go of an argument, even if they are right.
Pisces
Make love not war is the core tenet that this sign lives by and while arguments might end quickly on the surface, they are likely tossing and turning all night with all the witty comebacks they wish they had thought of sooner.
