Whether you believe in star signs or not, its always fun to see how your personality traits align with the ones your star sign prescribes.
For example, Leos are supposed to thrive in the limelight while Pisces are supposed to prefer their own company.
But what about when it comes to dating tendencies, such as getting ‘the ick.’
If you need a reminder, ‘the ick’ refers to the experience of suddenly feeling repulsed by the person you’re dating—usually due to something small and insignificant.
The phenomenon became popularised on TikTok, where people began sharing their list of icks. These could include anything from putting on a baby voice to running with a backpack—it’s entirely personal and very hard to recover from.
When it comes to star signs, most sources agree that there are two star signs that are likely to experience the ick more than others.
These star signs are Virgos and Capricorn.
But before you get offended, let’s explain why.
Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd)
With perfectionist tendencies, Virgos are highly discerning when it comes to who they’re dating.
Being extremely detail-oriented and observant people, this deadly combination makes Virgos highly adept at picking up what other people might miss—including details that may give them the ick.
When it comes to the things that might give a Virgo an ick, you’re going to want to steer clear of anything they may perceive as tacky or messy.
Being an organised and controlled sign, a Virgo won’t appreciate a slobby home and you can bet they will see through any plea for attention.
Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19)
Capricorns are also highly susceptible to getting the ick—mainly due to their extremely high standards.
As practical, responsible and hard-working people, Capricorns will likely get the ick from people who don’t see life the same way they do.
We don’t recommend showing up late or not taking your plans seriously.
