Gizelle Bryant and Karen Huger have been sparring since the debut of The Real Housewives of Potomac in 2016, and here's how their zodiac signs explain their unending clash. Karen and Gizelle have the greatest feud of The Real Housewives of Potomac as it has only festered and grown more sinister over the series' six seasons. Here's how Gizelle's critical Virgo Sun sign and Karen's stubborn Taurus zodiac placement contribute to the Potomac pairs' everlasting rivalry.
Throughout The Real Housewives of Potomac's run, Gizelle and Karen have redefined the term "frenemies." Although the pair regularly remind viewers that they have a long history as friends before starring on a reality TV show, Gizelle and Karen have not shared too many moments of friendship on the hit Bravo series. While there have been plenty of shocking scandals on Potomac over the years such as Monique and Candiace's fight and the s*xual harassment allegations made against Ashley Darby's husband Michael, one reliable constant of the show is Karen and Gizelle's bickering relationship. Whether Gizelle is spreading the rumor that Karen doesn't live in her home or Karen's poking holes in Gizelle's relationship with her ex-husband Jamal, neither Potomac housewife appears capable of burying the hatchet for too long. One explanation for this never-ending stalemate is Karen and Gizelle's incompatible Sun signs.
Gizelle was born on September 9, 1970, in Houston, Texas. This means that Gizelle is 50 years old and has a Virgo zodiac placement. Gizelle is born toward the middle of Virgo season which runs from August 23 to September 22. Virgos are a Mutable Earth sign, which means they are grounded but quick-thinking and adaptable. Virgos are symbolized by "the Maiden" and are ruled by the planet Mercury, which speaks to the sign's fast-moving mentality. Virgos are known for enjoying animals, nature, and cleanliness. They are commonly averse to rudeness and asking for help. Strengths attributed to the Virgo Sun sign include being smart, organized, and hardworking. A con of Virgo's character is their tendency to be critical of others.
Karen was born on May 3, 1963, in Virginia. This means that Karen is 58 years old and is a Taurus. Karen was born dead in the center of Taurus season which spans from April 20 to May 20. Like Gizelle's Virgo placement, Karen's Taurus Sun sign is an Earth sign, but where Virgos are Mutable, Taurus signs are Fixed. This means that a Taurus prefers to change as little as possible. This is one of Virgo and Taurus' most prominent differences as Virgos are inclined to embrace change. Taurus signs are symbolized by "the Bull" and are ruled by Venus. A Taurus appreciates romance, dependability, and luxury. They are known for their strengths which include being reliable, trustworthy, and practical. On the other hand, Taurus' flaws are being stubborn, possessive, and emotionally guarded.
Gizelle's Virgo sign and Karen's Taurus placement have some similarities like they are both Earth signs. However, they are prone to clashing. As a Virgo, Gizelle is overly critical of others. This bothers Tauruses like Karen who are looking for stable, reliable friendships that don't require much change. When Gizelle judges Karen's home or her fragrance business, Karen is forced to go to an emotionally insecure space that Tauruses find uncomfortable. Another reason why Gizelle and Karen's astrological signs clash is because of Taurus' stubbornness and Virgo's need to be correct. Neither Earth sign can handle being wrong, and Karen and Gizelle's infinite feud is a prime example of the Taurus and Virgo beef.
Karen and Gizelle may have been best friends at one point in time, but Potomac viewers have only witnessed the "enemies" portion of their frenemies dynamic. Karen's stubborn Taurus Sun sign and Gizelle's judgmental Virgo placement make for an incompatible relationship but compelling reality television. As Gizelle and Karen's feud comes to a head on The Real Housewives of Potomac season 6, fans are getting an eye-witness account of how fellow Earth signs can clash.
