Toxic relationships are part of The Real Housewives of Orange County action and Shannon Beador’s relationship with David wasn’t healthy, perhaps due to their zodiac signs. In fact, the marriage of Shannon Beador and her ex-husband David (whom she actually sued) is at the top of the list of toxic RHOC romances. While Shannon’s Aries Sun sign and David’s Sagittarius zodiac placement may initially appear to be a match made in heaven, the turbulent marriage between the Beadors proves that even two Fire signs are capable of clashing.
Shannon Beador was born on March 25, 1964, in Southern California. Born towards the beginning of Aries season, which runs from March 21 to April 19, Shannon’s Sun sign is symbolized by “the Ram.” A Cardinal Fire sign, Aries is known for being courageous, optimistic, and determined. Aries natives can be headstrong, aggressive, and moody. Shannon has some fiery Aries traits. She called out Emily Simpson for causing a divide between the group of Orange County women. David Beador was born on December 6, 1964, in the middle of Sagittarius season. This season starts on November 22 and ends on December 21. Like Aries, Sagittarius is a Fire placement, but as a Mutable sign, Sagittarius is much more adaptable than other Fire signs. Represented by “the Archer,” Sagittarians are famous for their honesty, humor, and free-spirited nature. The downside of Sagittarius is a tendency to be impatient and unreliable.
Although Aries and Sagittarius signs are known for getting along well (they are two adventurous fire signs, after all), the sordid relationship between Shannon Beador and her ex-husband David highlights how the two astrological placements can clash. The primary problem that disrupted the Beador’s marriage was David’s inability to be a faithful partner to Shannon. In June of 2015, Shannon revealed that David, who now has a baby girl with his new wife Lesley Cook, had cheated on her during an 8-month affair he had with another woman. This speaks directly to the common Sagittarius flaws of being fickle and untrustworthy. Sagittarians like David are known to make promises they can’t always keep. It appears that David was unable to uphold his side of the bargain when it came to having a monogamous marriage with his wife.
Shannon exhibited the determined and headstrong disposition of Aries while responding to David’s cheating revelations. Although Shannon’s determination has paid off in her business ventures, as the housewife has an estimated $20 million net worth, it may hurt her in other ways. Headstrong Aries natives can blind themselves to the reality of situations. As an optimistic Fire sign, Shannon refused to let David’s affair end their marriage. Instead, she stubbornly decided that they need to make their marriage work. In true Aries fashion, Shannon shared, “Divorce is not an option, it has never been an option for me.” She said this during an episode of RHOC. Instead of letting their marriage take its natural course, Shannon’s Aries tendencies may have prompted her to drag out the marriage. All the while, David’s wandering Sagittarius spirit may have been ready to move on.
As kindred Fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius zodiac placements have much in common. Unfortunately, Shannon Beador and her ex-husband David showed a lot of disagreeable characteristics of their signs. From David’s instability as a husband to Shannon’s insistence on making a failing marriage work, this couple was one of The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s least compatible pairs.
