Valentine's Day is usually painted in soft pinks and very passionate reds. It is all about flowers, candlelit dinners and romantic gestures that are straight
out of movie. However, real relationships are rarely just about roses and chocolates. Along with this love comes misunderstanding, emotional triggers and the occasional disagreement. And interestingly somehow, the way your partner handles conflict in a relationship may have more to do with their zodiac sign than you think. Helping us dive deeper into this, Sidhharrth S Kumaar, Chief Astrologer, NumroVani, reveals how every zodiac sign can handle conflict. Aries Aries doesn’t “handle” conflict. It releases it. Something bothers them and it comes out immediately, sometimes before they’ve fully understood it themselves. They raise their voice, say too much, then calm down just as fast. Aries believes clearing the air quickly is healthier than letting things sit. The issue is, what feels like honesty to Aries can feel like aggression to others. Aries moves on fast. The other person is often still nursing the impact. Taurus Taurus avoids conflict longer than it should. It tolerates. It adjusts. It waits. But once Taurus reaches its limit, the argument isn’t about today. It’s about the last six months. Taurus becomes immovable because, in their mind, they’ve already compromised enough. They don’t shout. They don’t dramatise. They just stop budging. Conflict ends only when Taurus feels secure again. Gemini Gemini argues in circles. Not because they enjoy drama, but because their mind keeps changing lanes. One moment they’re explaining calmly, the next they’re revisiting something you thought was resolved. Gemini processes conflict through talking. Silence makes them more anxious than disagreement. The problem is, they can exhaust the other person without realising it. For Gemini, conflict ends when things finally make sense in their head. Cancer Cancer doesn’t fight about the issue. Cancer fights about how it felt. Even small conflicts feel personal to them. When hurt, Cancer may withdraw, sulk, or become emotionally reactive. Logic doesn’t land when they feel unsafe. What they need first is reassurance. Once that’s there, they can talk properly. Without it, the conversation goes nowhere. Leo Leo reacts strongly when they feel ignored or disrespected. Conflict hurts their pride more than their feelings. They don’t mind disagreement, but they hate being dismissed. Leo wants acknowledgment. They want to be heard. If you approach them with respect, they soften quickly. If you talk down to them, the argument escalates fast. Virgo Virgo doesn’t fight emotionally. Virgo corrects. They focus on what went wrong, how it happened, and how it can be avoided next time. This often sounds critical, even when Virgo is trying to help. Emotional reassurance matters less to them than practical change. Virgo believes apologies mean nothing without improvement. Libra Libra hates conflict but attracts it anyway. They try to smooth things over, compromise early, and keep things pleasant. The problem is, they often don’t say what they’re actually uncomfortable with. Over time, resentment builds quietly. When Libra finally speaks up, the other person is confused because they thought everything was fine. Scorpio Scorpio doesn’t argue casually. Conflict cuts deep here. If trust is broken, Scorpio remembers. They may go quiet first, observing rather than reacting. When they do engage, the conversation is intense. Half-truths don’t work. Excuses don’t work. Scorpio wants honesty, even if it’s uncomfortable. Without that, the conflict never really ends. Sagittarius Sagittarius hates emotional heaviness. They prefer perspective, humour, or distance. When conflict feels restrictive or repetitive, they disengage. They’re honest, but blunt. They don’t always realise how their words land. Sagittarius believes moving forward is healthier than analysing everything. This makes them seem dismissive, even when they aren’t trying to be. Capricorn Capricorn doesn’t argue much. They observe. If a problem keeps repeating, Capricorn slowly detaches instead of fighting harder. Emotional drama drains them. They want maturity and accountability in the relationship. If they don’t find the same in relationship, they stop investing emotionally. For Capricorn, disengagement is a decision, not an accident. Aquarius Aquarius needs space during conflict. Too much emotion feels overwhelming. Aquarius prefers calm, rational discussion and often struggles with emotional intensity. Conflict resolves when they feel free to think and speak without being cornered. Pisces Pisces feels conflict deeply but avoids it for as long as possible. They don’t like confrontation because it feels destabilising. When pushed, emotions come out sideways. Tears, confusion, withdrawal. Pisces needs gentleness to open up. They talk honestly only when they feel safe from judgement.
