Have you ever had a broken relationship, only to have your ex come back to haunt you later?
Whether it’s been days, weeks, months, or even years, some zodiac signs may search for their exes after a breakup. And they are not looking for closure; what they really want is a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth…) chance. Here are five zodiac signs that keep coming back to you after a breakup, and how astrology explains their toxic behavior.
Gemini
Geminis almost always visit their exes after a breakup. This is because this zodiac is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intelligence. Although Mercury blesses Geminis with special gifts in these areas, it also makes them mercurial – their minds and moods change quickly. One day they want to break up, the next they want to throw you out like nothing happened. Even if they are the ones to end the relationship, they are sure to change their mind in the future. Then they’ll text or DM you, asking how you’ve been and if you’d like to meet up for coffee. But they don’t really want coffee or a friendly catch – they want another chance with you.
Cancer
Cancer victims always come back crawling because they are naive and empathetic. As a water sign, Cancer is sensitive, emotional, and intuitive. This zodiac, perhaps more than any other, has a strong nostalgic side, forming attachments to things, images, and people that remind them of the past. At some point after the relationship ends, they will look back and love the good parts and ignore the bad (although they haven’t really forgotten – this star sign can hold grudges!). They are also compassionate and believe in giving second chances, so they expect others to feel the same way. Your ex-Cancer will try to repay you by reminding you of the good times you shared, or giving you a thoughtful gift that shows how much you know him. But they really miss the comfort of a committed relationship, and they want that feeling back.
Libra
Libra writers will come back to you because they are indecisive and would rather get back together with an ex than be single. Like the zodiac represented by the scales, Libras are famous for being fickle, weighing the pros and cons of every option before making a decision – and sometimes all this deliberation prevents them from making a choice at all. After a breakup, Libras always second-guess the decision. They prefer to be in a committed relationship, and since they are very attractive, they have a lot of people who want to date them. But if they don’t find someone they like enough to move on with, they’ll go back to their last date. They will ask you if you really think the breakup was the right decision, and if you should give the relationship another chance. But they haven’t found someone new to love – and once they do, your relationship will be over forever.
Aquarius
Aquarians always circle back to their exes because they can’t do it. It’s surprising that he got them into a traditional relationship in the first place, as Aquarians generally avoid labels in love. As the zodiac is ruled by Uranus, the planet of individuality and rebellion, Aquarians like to do things their own way. Conventional relationship standards don’t work for them, and they are more than happy to be single. Aquarians always go back to their exes, asking if they can be friends. But they don’t really want friendship – they want all the fun parts of a relationship without the commitment.
Pisces
Pisceans always go back to their exes because they change their minds easily and can be deceitful in love. Pisces is a mutable sign, which means they are flexible and adaptable. It also means that they can make decisions and be easily manipulated. They can convince themselves to give their ex another chance if they spend more time alone. Pisces is also a sign very prone to addiction, and can develop dependence on their partners. Also, since the zodiac is ruled by Neptune, the planet of fantasy and illusion, Pisceans can delude themselves into thinking that their previous relationships are not so bad. They’ll get back to you by buying you dinner and bringing a sensible (and probably expensive) gift. They will highlight the good parts of love and ask if you both have to show more.
