How we wrote these
Each sign's red flags come from its traditional weak points (impatience for Aries, jealousy for Scorpio, indecision for Libra) and its green flags from its strengths. We wrote them for love and everyday life, with humor and without insulting anyone.
Your sun sign is only one part of who you are, and the same sign shows up very differently in different people. Read them as a game and a starting point for conversation, not as a verdict on anyone.
Frequently asked questions
What is a red flag?
A red flag is a warning sign: a behavior that suggests a relationship may get complicated. A green flag is the opposite, a sign that someone is good for you.
Which zodiac sign has the most red flags?
None, really. Scorpio, Gemini and Aries usually top the jokes, but every sign has five red flags and five green flags here, and what feels like a red flag depends on what each person needs.
Do a sign's red flags mean the relationship won't work?
No. They're tendencies, not destiny. Knowing them helps you talk about them, and many red flags soften when they're named in time.
