3 Zodiacs Who Recover Slowly After Breakups

Being a hopeless romantic is not for the faint of heart. Breakups can feel like losing a part of ourselves, cutting deep. There isn’t a recipe for healing. And it is most definitely not linear, with a predetermined timeline. The time it takes to move on is unique to each individual. However, these zodiacs require extra recovery time after losing a loved one. 

Read on to see if your zodiac sign is included. For the advanced astrologer, you may want to consider your Sun, Moon, or Venus signs, as all pertain to your love language. 

Taurus

Taurus’s fixed modality makes them rooted and secure. Being of the Earth element only furthers their craving for stable, predictable routines and lifestyles. Therefore, breakups can really disturb a Taurean’s well-being. Longing for reliable connections, it’s devastating for them to accept that they need to release someone on their team. 

This zodiac has keen tunnel vision. When they want someone, determination takes over. They want to see their relationship cross the finish line into a happily ever after. When their expectations fall short it’s hard to let go of their original vision. Known for being stubborn, it often takes them some time to come to terms with the ending of a connection. They want to fight, push, and strive longer than the relationship is due.

Cancer

Known as the most nostalgic of the signs, Cancer is a creature of comfort. They love their cozy blankets, safe home space, and to be introverted with their select people. Therefore, breakups and losses cut deep. They often struggle to warm up to new people. When they open friends and lovers to their intimate inner world, they take the act of vulnerability very seriously.

Being ruled by the Moon, they are sensitive to the needs of others. When a breakup occurs, they often prolong their suffering by questioning what they could’ve done differently. What if they helped in this way? What if the other felt misunderstood? The internal interrogation leads them to clinging all the more. They need to trust their intuition when it’s time to release outdated connections.

Scorpio

It’s difficult for a Scorpio to admit when a relationship has run its course. Being a fixed Water sign, their emotions are rooted in their connections. Their loved ones become their world. While they often play it cool with their feelings on the surface, deep down, Scorpio is deeply intertwined with loved ones. A superficial lover? Not even close. They want to know you inside and out, soul and flesh, flaws and all. 

It’s difficult for Scorpions to accept loss because of this merging. They know their loved ones inside and out. How could they forget it all? On the flip side, they struggle with comprehending someone no longer present knows such intimate sides of themselves. They’ve lost emotional control. This Water sign wishes that they could remain a mystery to outsiders. Being perceived, witnessed, and observed by someone they used to know irks their spirit.
