15 Celeb Couples Who Shouldn't Be Together, Based On Astrology
There is no doubt that celebrities have a difficult time maintaining relationships. Many Hollywood couples break it off after a very short time (remember Kim K's 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries?), while others divorce after decades of being together. For the long-time couples who shocked America with their split, we all want to scream "Why??!!" just because they seemed so perfect together.
Country fans were devastated when Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert announced their divorce. However, when you look at the broader picture, astrology can actually tell us a lot about the fate of any two people. Blake being an unpredictable Gemini and Miranda as a more emotional Scorpio, they essentially were not a match according to the stars.
On the other hand, there are some beloved pairings who are still together and surprisingly are incompatible based on their zodiac signs. You might be shocked that the following couples in this list are not astrology's favorite matches, but somehow they are making it work. Let's take a closer look.
15 Sagittarius and Virgo: Viewpoints Not On Point
Yes, they are hip hop's most treasured couple. And the world went crazy when Jay-Z supposedly confessed his infidelity to the R&B queen in his recent songs. Whether the rumors are true or just made up, they most likely have faced problems during their 17-year relationship due to the nature of their zodiac personalities.
Jay-Z is a Sagittarius - carefree, adventurous, and optimistic. Sag men are typically hard to tie down and can easily have eyes on other women. Beyoncé is a Virgo, which is a more serious, responsible sign. Virgos prefer work over play and would think of the Sag as immature because of his carefree trait. Although the two signs are great communicators, it's difficult to find commonalities because their viewpoints are so different. But, in the end, we can't imagine Blue Ivy and the newborn twins not having their parents together. We all are rooting for them to continue reigning as music's royalty!
14 Sagittarius And Capricorn: An Unlikely Match
That's right… Possibly the cutest couple we all know were not predicted to be together! Chrissy is a Sagitarrius and John is a Capricorn. According to astrology, this pair is an unlikely match. Like Jay-Z, Chrissy's Sag qualities portray a love for freedom and doing things on a whim. She likes taking risks and isn't afraid to say what's on her mind. This explains her outrageously funny tweets and Instagram posts. John, on the other hand, is a more conservative sign that prefers structure and practicality. The Sag woman would typically view the Cap man as too boring and serious.
But as we can see from their adorable PDAs, they're going against the odds. Maybe John likes that she can help him live in the moment. Or perhaps he's teaching her to be more organized. However they're doing it, they're making it work quite well.
13 Taurus And Sagittarius: Only One Thing In Common
Even the best looking couple on this list were not seen as a match according to the stars. Channing is a Taurus - goal-oriented, stubborn, and likes routine. These traits are usually conflicting with Jenna's Sagittarius qualities as she is more spontaneous and outspoken (warning: you'll be seeing a lot of Sags in this article). The Sag doesn't thrive on stability the way a Taurus does. And while both believe in honesty, a Sagittarius is more blunt and abrasive, which would make the Taurus believe that she's simply rude. One trait they have in common is their appreciation for health and fitness. So it makes sense that Channing and Jenna started off as dancers in their careers and were conveniently cast for the leads in Step Up. A lot of understanding is needed on both sides to make it work, and it looks like this couple has got it down.
12 Cancer Is Too Clingy For The Cold Aquarius
Young fans love to see Selena Gomez happy, and she is now that The Weeknd is by her side. However, both of their signs are not exactly a suitable pairing. Selena is a home-loving Cancer. She may be uber famous, but she likely prefers her personal time in the house cooking, scrapbooking, and simply being with loved ones. The Weeknd is an Aquarius who typically has an exploratory mind and often finds himself stuck in his own thoughts. As opposed to the Cancer who has a solid bond with family, the Aquarius doesn't mind detaching himself from the house to delve into new ideas. Aquarius is a thinker while Cancer is a feeler. So he may view her as too clingy, and she may ultimately view him as too cold. But as of now, the attraction between the two singers are strong. And whether or not they last, the world wants happiness for Selena.
11 Pisces And Aquarius: Not The Best Match
Justin and Jessica are certainly not afraid to express their love for one another. And admit it, most of the time it makes you envious. As sweet as their Instagram posts are, astrology does not describe their compatibility in a positive way. Jessica, as a Pisces, is in the water element which means she is highly emotional, sensitive, and nurturing. This contradicts with Justin's Aquarius traits because, like The Weeknd, he values freedom and allows his mind to wonder with constant ideas. How else would he make such great music?
Pisces wants the fairy tale romance and Aquarius is more impersonal. That's why normally this would not be the best match. Perhaps Jessica has been teaching her lyrical husband to be more affectionate, which explains their long 10-year relationship.
10 Perfect Virgo Is The Opposite Of Fiery Leo
OK, so this couple has already come to a rough start as it seems the world is not in favor of the American divorcée joining the British Royal Family. And unfortunately, the stars agree. Prince Harry is a Virgo man - highly analytical, obsessed with perfection, and likes structure. He's not into being the center of attention which is the complete opposite of Meghan's sign as a Leo. The Fire woman is overly passionate and wants to be constantly praised. Both signs work extremely hard, but the Virgo is a perfectionist just for their own assurance while the Leo wants validation from others. Virgos can get easily tired of Leo's need to be admired, so they wouldn't normally make a lasting relationship. We'll see how it goes in the long run for Prince Harry and Miss Markle.
9 Aries And Taurus Are Too Stubborn For It To Work
This gorgeous couple has gone two whole decades being the UK's most desirable lovebirds. So we never would have guessed that their zodiac signs are actually incompatible. Victoria is the aggressive Aries, and David is the charming Taurus. The ram and bull have some things in common, but not in a positive way. The greatest negative trait for both is their stubbornness. An Aries has incredible pride and the Taurus just always wants to be right. While it can be a very passionate relationship, the verbal fights between the two can go on nonstop causing friction in the long haul. But perhaps David was attracted to her adventurous side, and she maybe appreciates his calm demeanor. They are both loyal to a fault, so this obvious quality sparkled from the moment they met at age 22.
8 Head-Strong Aquarius And Guarded Capricorn
Speaking of young love, Emma Roberts and Evan Peters define everything that goes into an on-again/off-again relationship. Their problems have been blasted all over the media, and still, they have managed to stay engaged… AGAIN.
Emma as a strong-headed Aquarius and Evan being the guarded Capricorn -- their rising issues make sense as both of their signs don't have complimenting qualities. Cap men hide their emotions and do not open up easily to others, so maybe this has frustrated Emma. Or possibly he can't stand her constantly flowing words since Aquarians are opinionated about every single topic on earth. There are many reasons why Earth and Air signs wouldn't get along, which is clear given the domestic violence allegations. Whatever their problems are, the young couple is apparently pulling through the tough times, and we won't deny that A LOT of compromise is needed to survive.
7 Sagittarius And Capricorn Are The Most Conflicting
In an astrological sense, it's surprising that Miley (a Sagittarius female) and Liam (a Capricorn male) have lasted since 2009, despite being off-and-on. The mental attributes of both signs are one of the most conflicting as the stars see it. The Cap man is serious, responsible, and likes to get things done right. The Sag is more reckless and just wants to have fun. I mean, did Liam really approve of Miley twerking up on Robin Thicke at the VMA's? We highly doubt it.
Normally, the adventurous Sag would think the Cap is way too boring as he mainly focuses on work. If the engaged couple does finally walk down the aisle, they might face trouble when it comes to finances since Capricorns are more stringent with money and the Sag might purchase things on a whim. Each have qualities that the other lacks, so hopefully the differences continue to benefit their relationship.
6 Game Of Love For Leo And Pisces
Game of Thrones actress Sophia Turner lives as the dreamer Pisces and singer Joe Jonas possesses the "all about me" mentality as a Leo. Fire and Water signs do not compliment each other as much as they would infuriate one another. A Pisces is overflowing with emotion and, like fire, the Leo can burn their partner's feelings leaving the Pisces disappointed and heartbroken. What they do have in common is their genuine desire for a long-term mate with a fairy-tale ending. They relate to each other on a romantic level. But a Leo simply wants all the attention on him, and the Pisces is too wrapped up in her fantasies. This is not the worst pairing in the zodiac, but definitely not the best and both partners have to be willing to learn from each other.
5 Taurus And Aquarius Are Ruled By Two Different Planets
For the longest time, George Clooney was one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors. It seemed like no woman could tie him down after his first marriage in the late '80s. Then came 2013 when he met his lawyer wife and proposed to her after just six months together.
Oddly enough, their zodiac compatibility is not in their favor with George being the security-focused Taurus and Amal as a flamboyant-minded Aquarius. Their signs are ruled by two different planets that don't coincide well, so they view life through completely different lenses. Communication is typically a challenge because the bull likes to get to the point, and the air sign doesn't engage on an emotional level. It's like Android trying to befriend Apple. It just doesn't mesh. But, clearly, George has fallen head over heels for Amal and is highly committed. The media is simply happy that he has even tied the knot.
4 Free-Spirited Aquarius And Sensitive Pisces
Another Aquarius on the list: Oprah represents everything that is the air sign - humanitarian, free-spirited, and wants to save the world. She is greatly admired because of the unique perspective she brings to cultural and social issues. Aquarians highly value their freedom, which attributes to her verbal declaration to not get married despite being with Stedman for 30 years.
Stedman, on the other hand, is a Pisces - a more sensitive sign filled with intense feelings. Pisces is one of the most emotional in the zodiac, and Aquarius is the least emotional. So a careful approach in handling the relationship is needed on both ends, but more so on Aquarius' side because they're not exactly delicate when expressing their opinions. Both signs are very caring people, but their approaches come from separate wavelengths. Perhaps Stedman has accepted Oprah's pledge to remain unmarried since he is the more romantic, giving sign. Nevertheless, the comprising has worked as proof of their three-decade relationship.
3 Scorpio And Leo Call For Serious Drama
These lovebirds were famous in the '90s, but they didn't meet personally until 2013. And after just a few months of dating, Jenny McCarthy & Donnie Wahlberg quickly got engaged leaving every New Kids On The Block fan in despair. However, their interaction with each other is so endearing that you would never have guessed their signs are a mismatch.
Jenny is a Scorpio - the sorcerer of the zodiac who likes to be in control. Donnie is a Leo - a strong-willed lion who wants to be noticed and courted at all times. When these signs come together, there will be some serious drama. And you don't want to be in the same room if things get heated. Scorpios typically wouldn't like Leo's bossiness, and the lion would resent dealing with the sorcerer's manipulation. One thing they do mutually value is the ability to stay extremely faithful. And since both Jenny and Donnie have already been divorced before, perhaps they found more positive things in common with each other than the stars anticipated.
2 Aries And Pisces Are Not A Good Fit On Paper
Out of all the Hollywood couples listed, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar are absolute #romancegoals having been together since 2000. However, with Sarah as the bold Aries and Freddie being a tender Pisces, both signs would not initially look like a good fit on paper. Aries personalities are aggressive and fast-moving, while a Pisces progresses slowly and carefully. When fire and water signs cohabitate, calamity occurs because one can disregard the other's feelings. In this case, the Aries tends to overlook the Pisces' emotions which can exhaust the fish since he easily gets upset. Freddie has personally stated to other media sources that they simply started as "just friends" before dating. So ultimately this has been a key contributor to their lifelong union.
1 Leo And Capricorn Fight To Be The Boss
We saved this highly respected, loving couple last on the list because really they just make courtship look so easy. What many people don't realize is that their zodiac signs are an unlikely pairing. The 44th U.S. President embodies Leo traits - having a love for power and status. The former First Lady is the earth sign Capricorn - serious by nature and incredibly ambitious. Where they would clash is that both signs want to be the boss. Capricorns are very careful with money, while Leos live for luxury and lavish things. The female goat takes in anything that seems challenging, and the prideful lion is less adaptable to unknown situations.
Perhaps one hallmark that has made the marriage of the past White House residents last is Mr. Obama's role as a hopeless romantic, which is the Leo's best quality. I mean, how much more inspirational can these two get?
