For this, you can search astrology and zodiac sign for answers. It doesn’t matter if he’s sad, jealous or angry – whatever it is, how to tell when a guy is jealous depends on his zodiac sign.
Jealousy is an emotion that is difficult to deal with because it usually comes with a lot of other emotions, such as depression or anger. But no matter how you show your jealousy, your first reaction will likely be to hide it from your partner.
And when you are Secretly With jealousy, those other feelings tend to be amplified. Even if she denies it, telling everyone that it proves they’re not just angry or sad — they’re actually very green with envy.
How do you know when a guy is jealous, according to his zodiac sign
Keep reading for clues about each male sign’s personality, and how to tell if he’s secretly jealous.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
When an Aries guy gets jealous, he turns into someone who isn’t quite like him. Sure, he has great feelings and a subtle personality, but this is new and scary for both of you.
Jealousy isn’t something an Aries feels very often, but when he does, he finds it hard to keep it in check. Sure, he won’t come right out and tell you that he’s jealous, but you can tell how his attitude changes.
Aries will start to own up to you, and if you back off his clinging, he’ll get combative and argue with you to try to defend himself. All in all, an Aries gets straightforwardly messy when he’s jealous, and that’s not a good look at him.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
When a Taurus isn’t jealous, they’re affectionate and clingy (in a good way) — think: good morning texts, lots of kisses and “I miss you” hugs when you’re away.
But what makes a Taurus man jealous results in him trying to keep it to himself, because that’s not the kind of friend he wants. The best way to tell if he’s secretly jealous is to take his friend’s natural traits and kick them about 20 degrees.
Instead of being the gentle, clingy type that you’re used to, Taurus becomes arrogant and inquisitive. Instead of good morning messages, expect him to text you constantly, asking what you’re up to and where you are at all hours of the day.
He will also become territorial, as if he owns you and wants every other man in the room to know him. It may not be cut and dry like this, but you may want to check the tags.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini has no problem dealing with little arguments and disagreements in their relationship. All he cares about is getting whatever is bothering you out in the open so you can get over it.
But when he’s secretly jealous, that totally throws him off his game; He feels that he can’t put it out for fear that whatever makes him jealous, is true.
When a Gemini man is jealous, he tends to reverse your attitude. As for the cute Gemini you’re used to? Now he’s totally boisterous and will barely talk to you because he doesn’t know what’s going to come out of his mouth.
This will obviously start rubbing you the wrong way, but if you try to bring him up, he will joke around and ignore him. It is very difficult to get a Gemini to admit that he is secretly jealous.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancers tend to have very high feelings on a daily basis, but when they deal with covert jealousy, these feelings get even crazier and harder to deal with.
He’s needy and distant at the same time during this time, which might be confusing enough for you, but it’s an absolute nightmare for him. Expect him to tell you he doesn’t care if you don’t want to hang out on Friday night, then immediately change his mind and make plans together.
Cancer will also be incredibly passive-aggressive, which tends to be the biggest telling when he’s secretly jealous. He may act overly protective to try to show his regret for his behavior, but he will turn into this passive-aggressive monster the moment he feels jealousy creeping in again.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
When a Leo man is jealous, he convinces himself that he is only jealous because there is a real reason for it. He thinks he’s so confident in his feelings that there’s no way he could be wrong about his feelings.
When a Leo is secretly jealous, you will notice that his mood will change from optimistic and affectionate to completely rude.
In addition to being blunt and quick, Leos tend to be overly dramatic. This means to scoff and roll his eyes when the person he is jealous of comes into a conversation, cries and accuses you of not loving him, completely freezing you.
He also tends to lie and tell you that he’s stressed at work or worried about something else. Expect to deal with a jealous Leo who acts like he’s six years old instead of his real age.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
For a Virgo, jealousy is a confusing and cruel emotion, and he never wants to deal with it in his relationship. He tries not to care, but Virgo does. everything.
When a Virgo feels jealous, their immediate reaction is to hide it. So, even if you weren’t already talking about jealousy a secret, he would probably keep it a secret.
Look for signs that he’s becoming distant or quiet because he’ll want to step back from his thoughts and try to figure them out on his own. It’s not healthy to not let you in so you can work together, but be patient because he wants to organize himself before he comes to you.
Of course, this is his reaction to anything negative he feels, so expect a Virgo man to be less interested and caring for you and the relationship. He feels he needs to put his love on hold so he knows what’s up.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra uses jealousy as a ploy to bring you closer to him. He thinks that if he shows you how much better he is than anyone else you might be interested in, you’ll stop doing the things that make him jealous.
This sounds confusing, but he thinks it’s your fault for him to be jealous. This is a big story for Libra because he is not usually very boyish, but negative emotions like jealousy turn him into a child.
Libra will also be more affectionate with you at first. This is to try to make you more affectionate with him (and less friendly with those he is jealous of). If that doesn’t work, Libra will start flirting with everyone they meet, even if you’re with him.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
It’s no secret that Scorpios have great feelings, and when it comes to a jealous Scorpio man, he tends to have a pretty big reaction. Even if you tell him that he doesn’t have to be jealous, he’ll want to find out for himself.
At first, he’ll get angry — don’t expect a Scorpio to talk to you about it or walk away while he finds out his feelings; Expect him to go crazy and fast.
Until he discovers for himself that his jealous feelings are completely outside the norm, Scorpio will do what all his crazy friends do: he’s paranoid. He might think that you’re texting other people when you’re not, and he’ll probably convince himself that he needs to keep better tabs on you.
It’s crazy behaviour, but Scorpios need to work on how they handle their emotions. In addition to all of that, his anger will turn him into a more secretive person than he actually is.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The only thing a Sagittarius man hates is jealousy. He’s the type of person who never wants to be tied down or bargained for who he is, so when he’s jealous, he thinks it’s because he’s gotten stuck in his relationship.
At first, he will be in denial. He does not want anything in life that bothers him, so it is difficult for him to accept these new feelings. Once he accepts that he’s jealous, he’ll try to be casual about it — that means making jokes, ignoring it, or pretending to be “crazy.”
Of course, since a Sagittarius hates having to work through new and scary feelings on his own, he’ll freak out a little. What if you really love someone else? What if his jealousy never goes away and he must be the guy who is jealous of nothing?
These intrusive thoughts are swimming in his head right now, and he can’t stand too many of them. Expect him to get a little emotional—whether it’s in the form of irritability or depression—until he dumps him and reminds himself that there’s nothing to be jealous of.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
If you talk about jealousy to a Capricorn, chances are very high that he will immediately say something along the lines of, “Jealousy is a stupid emotion. I will never be jealous.”
But Capricorns are human just like the rest of us and can’t always help them feel in the moment. And when he inevitably gets jealous, his impenetrable outer form will begin to crumble.
A jealous Capricorn is someone who feels bitter about everything that has to do with love. He’ll likely grumble and hold back a lot, because if he’s jealous, he’s nothing anymore.
Against his better judgment, he will also become more suspicious of you and what you do when he’s not around. And while he’s suspicious and upset, he’s also less willful about caring about his relationship and caring about his partner’s needs: you.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius doesn’t like being jealous because it goes against everything they stand for: free love and happiness.
Jealousy makes an Aquarius uncomfortable in the first place, and he’ll likely pretend he has no idea what you’re talking about if you talk about his jealousy. In fact, he’s so good at pretending something doesn’t bother him that you might already be convinced that he’s not really jealous.
Even though he might not admit anything out loud, his brain is racing with thoughts of losing you and ruining his relationship, all because he’s jealous. He tends to overthink things whether he wants to or not, so expect him to be calmer than usual and a little more nervous.
His jealousy usually doesn’t last long, but it can still put a strain on your relationship.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
While it’s true that Pisces can be sensitive and insecure at times, when a Pisces guy is jealous, those feelings are amplified.
Suddenly, he felt like he had to compete with someone else for your affection, even if that was far from the truth. But for Pisces, he convinces himself that his jealousy is because he’s not a great friend.
He also becomes more withdrawn when he is around you. This is his way of letting you know that if you’d rather be with someone else, they won’t stop you.
It can be annoying for you to deal with this type of Pisces – a sign who always plays the victim – but a little love and affection goes a long way with him, and proves that you don’t want anyone else.
