When it comes to astrology, there are definitely a few zodiac signs that are known for their calm, level-headed demeanors, as well as a few signs that have surprisingly bad tempers. These are the folks who are quick to anger, who get frustrated easily, and who may say a thing or two they don’t really mean, all in the heat of the moment.
We’re all entitled to a bad day — when it feels like everyone’s rubbing us the wrong way, and we’re super cranky as a result — but the signs with ongoing anger issues may want to look into ways to calm down; not only for their sake, but for everyone else’s.
“Acknowledging the fact that you have a short temper gives you the opportunity to learn to control it,” author and astrologer Lisa Barretta, tells Bustle. “It is good to let [off] some steam every now and then. But [be] aware that every time you get upset you compromise your own energy levels […] The energy expelled from a burst of temper can linger for days, if not weeks, and really affect a lot of other things going on around you.”
Not only can it push others away, but it can leave you feeling drained. And that’s often not worth it. Here are the seven signs that tend to have bad tempers, according to experts, as well as what they can do to cool off, think twice before the react, and control their tempers in a healthier way.
1.Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries can have a hot temper, all thanks to their ruling planet — which may account for their other fiery habits, too. “Ruled by Mars, the planet of War, they may also be prone to impulse-control issues,” astrologer Janet Amid, tells Bustle. But that doesn’t mean Aries is always reactionary, or that they’re doomed to be hotheaded forever.
Once they recognize this tendency in themselves, they can learn how to extinguish their temper before it gets out of hand. As Susan Shumsky, Vedic astrologer and author of Instant Healing, tells Bustle, “Perhaps they might excuse themselves, leave the room, go to another location where they can be alone, and take out their aggression on an inanimate object.” These are all healthier ways to cool off.
2.Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
