Scorpio Season Is Here: The 12 Signs Ranked by Grudge-Holding, and You Can Guess Who Wins

Scorpio season turns the grudge radar on

From October 23 to November 22 it's Scorpio season, when the Sun moves into the sign best known for keeping score, and everyone gets a little more sensitive about who owes them what. Mercury is also retrograde in Scorpio during this stretch, so old arguments resurface easily, and even an unanswered message in the group chat can get reread in a whole new light.

This ranking looks at how long each sign stays mad, based on typical sign traits. It's just for fun, so if you land near the top, please don't hold it against us.

No. 12 to No. 9: quick to flare, quick to forget

No. 12: Sagittarius (grudge level 15%)

Sagittarius snaps once in the moment and is asking what's for dinner a second later. The trigger is being micromanaged, like having a weekend already planned and still being asked to check in every hour. Making up is easy: suggest a great meal or a spontaneous day trip, and they'll probably forget what they were upset about.

No. 11: Gemini (grudge level 22%)

Gemini does remember, but as material, and the story shows up as a joke at the next get-together. The trigger is getting the cold shoulder mid-conversation or being told they talk too much. Send them a fun topic or a meme, and once the chat is lively again, the whole thing turns into a punchline.

No. 10: Aquarius (grudge level 30%)

Aquarius rarely holds a grudge. They just quietly move you to a watch list. The trigger is being pressured to fit in, or getting called out in a group-buy chat for having too many opinions. Skip the sweet talk and explain your reasoning clearly. If it makes sense to them, things go back to normal.

No. 9: Libra (grudge level 38%)

Libra smiles and says it's fine because they hate making things awkward. The trigger is being embarrassed in front of others, or always being the easygoing one who loses out when splitting the bill. Give them a way to save face: a sincere private apology on LINE, the messaging app most people use in Taiwan, plus a drink on you. They'll move on, but they'll remember how you acted.

No. 8 to No. 5: they say it's fine, but they're keeping notes

No. 8: Aries (grudge level 45%)

An Aries temper is like a summer afternoon thunderstorm that clears right after, as long as the fight actually happens out loud. The trigger is gossip behind their back or someone taking credit, like a deck they stayed late to finish ending up under a coworker's name. Just talk it out directly. One honest "that was my fault" works better than ten long texts.

No. 7: Pisces (grudge level 52%)

Pisces won't blow up at you, but they'll replay that day in their head over and over until it feels worse and worse. The trigger is being called too sensitive, or having plans casually canceled. Making up takes warmth: write a heartfelt message and remember the small things they care about. After one good cry, they usually forgive you.

No. 6: Leo (grudge level 60%)

Leo cares about pride. A private argument is fine, but being corrected in public is what sticks. The trigger is getting roasted in the group chat, a forgotten birthday, or hard work nobody notices. Make it up in style: praise them in front of everyone or plan a small surprise, and once Leo softens, the ledger closes.

No. 5: Virgo (grudge level 68%)

Virgo keeps grudges in an organized file: the date, the exact words, the tone you used. The trigger is a broken promise, or messing up something they carefully organized for you. Actions matter here. Following through once beats apologizing ten times, and only when they see real change will they cross that entry off.

No. 4 to No. 1: the professional bookkeepers

No. 4: Cancer (grudge level 75%)

A hurt Cancer retreats into their shell. They still reply to messages, just shorter and shorter. The trigger is criticism of their family or friends, or a thoughtful gesture being taken for granted. Be patient: check in on how they've been and invite them for a home-cooked meal. Once they're sure you're on their side, the shell opens again.

No. 3: Taurus (grudge level 83%)

Taurus is slow to anger and has a lot of patience to spend, but once it's used up, there's no going back easily. The trigger is unpaid loans, messy bill splitting, or plans that keep getting rescheduled. Steadiness is the fix: be on time, keep your word, and pay back what you owe. After a while, they'll put you back on the trusted list.

No. 2: Capricorn (grudge level 90%)

Capricorn doesn't argue or make a scene. They simply downgrade you. At work, they'll cooperate as usual, but outside of work, they stop reaching out. The trigger is lateness, irresponsibility, or making them look bad in front of the boss. Words alone won't cut it. Deliver on time and own your mistakes. They notice, but it takes longer than you'd think.

No. 1: Scorpio (grudge level 99%)

No surprise, Scorpio takes the crown. They remember the comment you made at dinner three years ago, and that you didn't even look at them when you said it. The trigger is lying or betrayal, and even small omissions count. There's only one way back: come completely clean, don't make excuses, and give them time to watch. That last 1% is the room they leave for trusting you again.
