Jealousy is a complex emotion and we all have our own frequent encounters with the vile green monster once in a while because we’re humans and humans are fallible. It could be because your bestie got promoted before you or when you casually scroll past the 457th post of your neighbour on their summer vacation on some stupidly gorgeous beach in some tropical wonderland.
It’s something we’re all guilty of feeling to some extent, however, there are a few zodiac signs that are prone to frequent bouts of the emotion. While the feeling is perfectly natural, these zodiac signs are known to be most plagued by it and it’s often a defining element of their personality and nature, which is not necessarily a bad thing always and could be channelled into something healthier with proper processing of emotions.
Here are the four zodiac signs that are most prone to get jealous easily…
4 Most Jealous Zodiac Signs
Taurus
This sign is widely known to be territorial about their material possessions and even close relationships. This feeling provides them with comfort and stability, two emotions that Taureans value highly above others. Any form of emotional neglect, perceived or otherwise, can cause the green monster to rear its head. The Earth sign also reacts poorly to shifts in dynamics that make them feel a drop in their value in a relationship.
Cancer
This sign’s open and emotionally sensitive nature makes the natural caretakers. While this is a great quality to have in a partner or a close loved one, sometimes it veers into the jealousy category when a Cancerian perceives someone else taking care of what they believe to be theirs. They are often insecure and easily threatened in relationships because of this.
Leo
Out of these four signs, Leos are the least jealous people. However, when it does sneak up on them, it can be explosive. Leos are used to being the centre of attention and crave the spotlight. It’s natural that when they find someone else basking in the attention that they think rightfully belongs to them, then jealousy seeps in. It’s almost a defence mechanism to protect their surprisingly fragile self-esteem.
Scorpio
If Leos are on one side of the jealousy spectrum amongst these four, then Scorpios are on the other extreme. It’s the most jealous of all zodiac signs. On any given day, Scorpios are prone to overthinking and often find themselves jumping to the worst-case scenario. They don’t trust people easily and are not adept at hiding their feelings.
