Here Are The Most Violent Zodiac Signs.

It’s been said that under the right circumstances, anyone can become violent. If you are being threatened, you may be compelled to react in a violent way, but what about the people who are easily triggered into violence?

Most of us don’t embrace violence but instead do everything we can do so we aren't committing crimes or a violent act. What zodiac signs are violent? A lot of people who are repeatedly violent often have no control over their actions; they get so angry or upset that they can’t hold back. Some signs are often violent because of their personality traits and intense feelings of jealousy, hatred, and rage.

If you are someone who has trouble looking at the big picture and can’t see the end results of violent behavior, you’ll have an easier time acting violently. By not seeing that violence ultimately leads to more destruction, pain, and being doomed to repeat violent actions. People without a sense of right or wrong may see violence as an option and a way to get results quickly.

 It is what they turn to when they can’t see any other option, and there are five particular zodiac signs that are the most violent zodiac signs.  Violence is rarely a good solution for any problem, but for some people who have an inability to control their rage.

What is the most violent zodiac sign? Here are the top six.

1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpios have a lot of emotions, but they don't always express them, and those emotions can only stay suppressed so long until they come bursting out. Scorpios can get jealous and vengeful, and they may hold those feelings back for a while, but when they finally come out, they can come out violently.

How many times have you heard the expression "It was a crime of passion"? Well, that's Scorpio to a T. They don't like to be in pain alone, they want to give it right back. When dealing with anger, they don't always have the best coping skills.

2. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

The sign of Aries is ruled by Mars, which makes them warrior-like. Which zodiac sign is the angriest? Aries is hot-blooded, easily provoked, and impulsive, therefore, they are by far the angriest of the zodiac. They're fun... until they're not and it doesn't take much to take their anger from zero to 100 as they are very hot-tempered. 

This sign is competitive by nature and they're not great at losing, so it's not unlikely for them to get violent in order to change the outcome and make them the winner. If sparked, Aries' anger will burn hot and leave devastation in its pathway.

It's not that they're always physically violent, but they can be violent with their words. If you've ever felt physically hurt by words, then you probably did something to get on Aries' bad side.

3. LEO (July 23 - August 22)

What zodiac sign is very dangerous? Dangerous zodiac signs definitely include the fire signs. Leos are leaders, and sometimes when you lead, you have to go to war. They are used to the "any means necessary" rule and if they think it's justified, they will resort to violence.

They often have a strong sense of self-esteem and entitlement so if someone or something gets in the way of what they want, they will act. Leos often have a need to have all eyes on them, and if someone steals their spotlight, they may become brutal and act out in an inappropriate or dangerous way.

4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

There's no middle ground for a Capricorn — if they get enraged, they're going to go all out. Capricorns are so steady and dependable, it can be hard to remember that they have a dark side just like everybody else.

If they're set off, they'll use their determination to get their revenge. They can sometimes be oversensitive when it comes to criticism and this can be a trigger to their bad behavior. If they're caught doing something that's harmful or dangerous, they won't give up and will keep going.

5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius is easy-going but is also volatile and unforgiving. What zodiac sign is a badass? Sagittarius is one known for being spontaneous and badass. They will do something rash and dangerous in the heat of the moment. However, they may regret it later, but at the time, they're in it all the way. They don't think of the consequences of their actions which makes them spontaneous and scary.

Sagittarius individuals may see a violent action as self-defense, or as the only thing, they can do to protect themselves. It's their unpredictability that makes them alarming because you don't know if they're going to hug you or push you off a cliff.

6. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Cancers have a lot of feelings and they're fiercely protective of the people they love, so it's not unlike them to drastically overreact when they are in pain or someone they love has been threatened. They're passionate, creative, and positive, but when their thoughts start to fixate on wrongdoings and suffering, they can get immensely negative.

When Cancer is out for blood, there's very little that will stop them. Sometimes their emotions cause Cancer to become paranoid and make them believe they must destroy their enemy before their enemy destroys them.
