Astrology helps in knowing a lot about someone’s characteristics and personality traits, especially your partner. Here are the most jealous and possessive signs that you should not date with!

Most Jealous and Possessive Signs That You Should Not Date

When you date someone, you expect them to adore you and protect and defend you. Whilst everybody in love is territorial and possessive, sometimes, some people go overboard! Who are these people? Do zodiac signs have anything to do with the over-possessive nature of a person? Are you dating the right guy or gal? Don’t these questions bother you again and again? If yes, then, let us tell you, zodiac signs have everything to do with possessiveness.

In a relationship, being a bit possessive is not the sanest thing as it shows how affectionate you are towards your partner and care about anything they do. However, anything beyond a level is catastrophic and the same is for possessiveness.

The psychology behind jealousy and possessiveness

In any relationship, the insecure and vulnerable partner is quite likely to dictate what the other person can do or not do. While it may look like they are doing it out of love and affection, possessiveness is closely linked to jealousy and insecurity. It ultimately results in intruding on each other’s boundaries and exerting power over them. This is the reason you cannot justify possessiveness in any of its forms no matter what are your intentions behind it. While all the zodiac signs have different ways of showing their love and affection, there are three zodiac signs who do not really understand the difference between caring and sheer possessiveness.

Jealousy is an odd thing. We’re overcome with this emotion of insecurity, and we just can’t help but experience the strange and complex feeling.

There have been times when someone was better than us at something or had something we wanted, and we're filled with this envy and we can't control it. That's what jealousy is.

The emotion of jealousy is such a complex concept. We hurt people and interfere with others' lives because of a simple feeling. This feeling brings out the worst in us. We're overcome with a feeling of insecurity and anxiety that brings us to get in the way of someone else's business, and it hurts people, even if we really didn’t mean to.

Now, using astrology as an example, unlike the most jealous zodiac signs, not everyone gets jealous. It’s brought up in our personality. Some of us couldn't care less about what other people have and succeed at, while others feel rage when someone starts dating their ex.

The worst part of that is that the person doesn’t want their ex back, they just don’t want to see someone else enjoy them — that’s what jealousy does.

In this guide, we have mentioned the most jealous and most possessive zodiac sign as per astrology.

Top 7 Most Jealous and Possessive Signs

1. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Aries, we know your morning alarm feels like the sounding gun of a 100-meter dash, propelling you forward into action. Life is a sprint; any jealousy ignited in you is born of sheer impatience in the race toward your dreams. Aries can feel like they’re perpetually playing catch-up. Driven and competitive, you envy people who are further along at achieving your goals (30 under 30 lists might send you spiraling). Aries wants to be the first—to set foot on Mars or to add chili peppers to banana bread—and the best. And they can’t help but feel like the clock is ticking.

This zodiac sign is all about being an impulsive possessive partner. They are out there and loud and clear about their feelings and they tend to get extremely possessive when they feel insecure about their partner. Hence, it is better to be upfront and honest with them and tell them about your feelings with honesty.

2. Cancer (Jun 22 - Jul 22)

Cancers keep their feelings of inadequacy tucked inside their 500-page journals. Fulfilled by their deep personal relationships, the water signs fear anything that threatens those bonds. So if your best friend is now spending all her free time with someone she met at pottery class, you’re probably jealous of that meaningful connection. Does she still care about you? Are you about to be replaced? Under their tough outer shell, the cosmic crabs are incredibly sensitive and easily threatened. You crave security and stability, so you’ll want to claw your friends and family back into your circle if they’ve strayed.

Cancer are not one of those who show their possessiveness easily but secretly it’s actually killing you to think that your partner is hanging out with their friends. You may pretend to be less bothered about it, but you are constantly thinking about it and it’s bothering you to the core.

3. Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Leos thrive when they’re glimmering in the spotlight, basking in the recognition of their peers. And naturally, they’re not thrilled when someone pushes them offstage in order to take the lead. If Leos are able to express themselves and feel appreciated—whether that’s through sharing their latest painting or a well-researched political opinion—they’re less prone to jealousy. But when they’re attention-starved, it’s difficult for the fire signs to see others being overfed compliments—especially when the Lions think they could’ve done a better job.

Leo's possessiveness has nothing to do with jealousy because you trust the person they’re with. It’s all about showing off their partner like they are a valuable prize they’ve won. That’s a bad and disrespectful way to go, Leo.

Jealousy is not entirely excluded, because it rears its head from time to time, but possessiveness is one of Leo's main characteristics and biggest problem creators in every one of their relationships.

4. Scorpio (Oct 22 - Nov 21)

Scorpio traverses two realities: the seen and unseen. They’re interested in peeling back the universe’s superficial layers in order to expose the good stuff: the truth. So while on the surface, it looks like your partner is ordering creme brulee, is he actually speaking a secret love language with the waiter? Did he write his number on the check-in invisible ink? Jealousy stems from Scorpio’s paranoia. You’re one of the most creative signs in the zodiac, but you might use this vision to dream up scenarios that aren’t actually happening (and then let your anger simmer for months).

Being an extremely passionate zodiac sign, Scorpions are known to give their heart and soul to the relationship. However, they expect the same from their partner and may get really territorial about the people they love. Since the Scorpio is a manipulative star sign, they will stop at nothing to make sure they have their loved ones completely to themselves. While you treasure your own independence and don’t really appreciate anyone’s nose in your business, the same courtesy is not extended to your partner.

5. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

The bull-headed sign is well-known to be a little dominating and territorial by nature. Their possessiveness stems from their undying need to have a stable and secure life. In addition to being territorial about his partner, you will often find this zodiac sign attached to his possessions, especially if they are luxurious.

Trust us when we say that the Taurus could have easily taken the first spot when it comes to the most possessive zodiac sign but what refrains them is their attitude-fluctuation when it comes to being possessive. A Taurus usually develops a great understanding of any person they meet. So if they trust you with their life, they would not be so judgy, possessive, or controlling. However, if you have a history that makes your attitude suspicious, the Taurus in your life could get territorial and dictator kind.

6. Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

This zodiac sign is all about confidence and trust. However, if you break that, they will lose all their control and calm. A Gemini can get overly possessive and jealous of their partner if they see them talking to someone else. They might not show it instantly or say it out loud, but deep down they are burning from jealousy and possessiveness.

Geminis find themselves hung between being possessive and trying to maintain their independence. The twin sign is very prone to double thoughts. Hence, they tend to ask so many questions, which could sometimes irritate the other person. However, Geminis are also very understanding in nature and if you simply cuddle them and talk their concerns out, that will bar them away from being extra possessive. At least for a few weeks.

7. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Be careful introducing your new boo to a Pisces—this water sign is known for being jealous of other people’s love lives. Pisces want to be constantly comforted and feel loved, and they get super antsy when you start to talk about a budding relationship or new hookup. If they’re not the center of romantic attention, they get grumpy.

Pisces, possessiveness doesn't come from jealousy but from trust. They need to feel that someone is 100 percent committed to them and that they're "yours" before they can truly relax in a relationship.

They're possessive as a way to guard themselvé against being hurt. They think that if they hang on to someone so tightly, you won't have the desire or the opportunity to stray, but that leash they have them on feels as if you're being strangled, and they have to get away to save their own life.
