There are times when you want to avoid bothering your partner. At times like these, they need space and privacy, because you need it too. And the other time you should avoid your partner is when he or she is in a bad mood. Think about when you are in a bad mood. The last thing you want is for your partner to bother you, and what do they look like when they’re in a bad mood?
Let’s see how each zodiac sign behaves when they’re not in a good mood. You’ll find that your partner falls right into this based on their Sun, Moon, or Rising sign.
Aries – Tempers flare
If your Aries partner is in a bad mood, you will know it because he or she will make it clear. Their tempers will flare and they will likely be lying around. Also expect swearing. That’s why you probably know that it’s best to avoid your Aries partner who is in a bad mood. They are not subtle about it and will be very aggressive.
The good news is that their bad mood will go away, and they will become calmer and quite apologetic. They don’t mean to scare you. Unfortunately, they cannot control their temper.
Taurus – Will eat or shop
If your Taurus partner is in a bad mood, you won’t find him lying around and shouting obscenities like Aries would. Instead, they will need time to calm down, which includes shopping online while ordering pizza or a Chinese takeaway to satisfy their emotions. They are sensual and want to use their senses regardless of their mood.
You’ll see them do that when they’re in a good mood to celebrate something, and you’ll see them do that when they’re in a bad mood to feel better.
Gemini – restless and feisty
Your Gemini partner is energetic and talkative, and can switch from one mood to another. When they are in a good mood, they are very friendly and talkative. However, when they are in a bad mood, they become very snappy and restless. They can bounce off the walls. And they may tell you to “be quiet” when you ask them a simple question.
Your feelings will be quite hurt if they snap at you, but that’s a sign that it’s best to leave them alone. They will apologize later after cooling down.
Cancer – becomes silent
You don’t need anyone to tell you how moody your Cancer partner is because he goes through so many mood swings. You probably also know that when your Cancer partner is in a bad mood, he or she is unlikely to curse and shout. Instead, they will withdraw and remain silent.
They will retreat into their shell, and when they do, they make it very clear that they want to be left alone because they are in trouble. The best thing you can do is make them shut up and withdraw. When they are no longer in a bad mood, they will be happy to visit you again.
Leo – They will exaggerate their bad day
You know Leo is all about being in the spotlight and wanting to be noticed. They want you to see their achievements, changes in appearance, good moods and bad moods. And if your partner is a Leo, you probably know what he or she does when he or she is in a bad mood.
They will do the opposite of Cancer and get loud and tell you why they are in a bad mood. They will even exaggerate their bad day and say it was the worst day ever, when you know you can think of other days where they could have been worse. But you know you shouldn’t tell them that or they’ll shoot you.
Virgo – Will be extra judgmental
You know how analytical and critical Virgo can be, because they want everything to be perfect. And that’s how they are when they’re in a decent mood. However, it is much worse when they are in a bad mood. They can be downright judgmental and hurtful, which can damage many of their relationships if they continue.
If you have a Virgo partner, you’ll know because they’ve probably said things to you that only made you feel worse about yourself and the mistakes you’ve made in the past (they’ll throw that at you too). And when they get over their bad mood, they will regret what they said and apologize profusely to you.
Libra – becomes manipulative and retains the charm
Libras are known for being charming, diplomatic and peaceful. All they want is balance, and they don’t like to get into confrontation at all costs. And if your partner is a Libra, you know this. They don’t feel like conflict and instead flee. However, when your Libra partner is in a bad mood, you will see that he or she retains their charming side but can be incredibly manipulative.
They can use manipulative tactics with a smile, and you will notice. And if you confront them and ask what’s going on, they’ll storm away. The best thing you can do is let them cook, and once they get over it, they will return to their true charming selves.
Scorpio – Extra quiet
Scorpio is extremely secretive, intense and passionate. If you are in a relationship with a Scorpio, you have earned their trust. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be on their best behavior around you. If your Scorpio partner is in a bad mood, he or she will hide even more than usual. And the last thing you want to do is disturb them when they’re in that state.
If you do, they can be quite vindictive, and you don’t want to get on their bad side at all. They might complain about a bad day at work at first, but when they disappear, don’t bother them again. They come back when the bad mood goes away.
Sagittarius – Explosive
Sagittarius is the cheerful type who always likes to seek out fun adventures. However, it is not realistic to always be so positive. And if your partner is a Sagittarius, you know how scary it is when he or she gets into a bad mood. They are the same as Aries. They will show their fiery temper, reveal some harsh truths and become very aggressive.
The only good news is that Sagittarius won’t stay in a bad mood for long. So once they get that out of their system, they feel better and can get on with their day. However, it may upset you.
Capricorn – Aloof and feisty
Capricorns are all about business, and they take everything very seriously. They are ambitious. If your partner is a Capricorn, you know not to disturb him or her when he or she is busy with his or her work, whether it is a house project or a work-related project. And if you do disturb them, you can put them in a bad mood.
Or, if they’re in a bad mood for any reason, they’ll be extra distant, extra snappy, extra pessimistic, and downright nasty. You don’t want to make a Capricorn angry and put him or her in a bad mood.
Aquarius – Anxious
Those who sign Aquarius are known to march to their drummer and can be friendly but distant. However, they also want a relationship because they don’t like loneliness. If you have an Aquarius partner, you know he or she has this personality.
And you probably also see how they don’t connect well with their emotions, because emotions make them uncomfortable. However, when your Aquarius partner is in a bad mood, they become incredibly anxious and worried and distance themselves from another part of the house. It is also best to leave them alone. They’ll solve it.
Pisces – cries and wallows in self-pity
Pisces is very emotional and very sensitive. And it doesn’t take much to put a Pisces in a bad mood. If your partner is a Pisces, you know it too. Because if your Pisces partner is in a bad mood, he or she will cry about it and cry for hours. And they will wallow in self-pity and perhaps even isolate themselves as they do so.
They certainly don’t want to hear any negativity and criticism from you at all. Eventually they overcome their bad mood, but it may take a while for them to do so.
Everyone gets into a bad mood, and the way you show your bad mood may depend more on the rising or moon sign than the sun sign. For example, if your partner is a Taurus but has the moon sign of Leo, they’ll likely tell you all about their bad day instead of indulging in food or shopping, or maybe they’ll do a little bit of both.
So it’s completely understandable that your partner will be in a bad mood from time to time, just as you are into him or her. However, if they take it out on you and don’t apologize for it, you’ll want to talk to them about it later.
