4 Zodiacs Who Need To Leave Their Toxic Ex Behind This September

Ever wondered why some folks just can’t seem to shake off their toxic exes? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Maybe it’s the allure of their devil-may-care charm or the soulful melodies of ’90s breakup ballads that keep us entranced.

Cancer

Oh, darling Cancers, bless your heart. You’re the nostalgic ones, aren’t ya? You don’t just wear your heart on your sleeve, you staple it there for everyone to see, and then wonder why it gets battered so easily. Cancers, it’s time to pack up those warm fuzzy feelings you’ve reserved for your ex and toss them in the attic with your old Beanie Baby collection.

Despite the heartache, it’s like you’re on a never-ending rerun of your favorite rom-com, complete with the dramatic airport chase scene. But, spoiler alert, life ain’t a movie, and your toxic ex is no Hugh Grant. The past is like your favorite worn-out pair of jeans. Comforting? Yes. But practical or flattering? Not a chance. So, quit clinging to those bad memories, put them away, and go shopping for a better fit.

Pisces

Fishy friends, why do you insist on swimming in murky waters? Your ability to empathize is beautiful, but it’s like you’re diving headfirst into a whirlpool of emotions with your ex. Remember, you’re a fish, not a masochistic mermaid. Your ex is not a DIY project, and you can’t ‘fix’ them with love, no matter how many times you try.

Pisces, you’re like that friend who insists on touching the hot stove, despite everyone else telling you it’s hot. You ask questions like, “But what if it’s not as hot this time?” or “Maybe it’s only hot when you touch it.” Sweet Pisces, there’s a reason the phrase isn’t “Once bitten, twice… touch a hot stove?” You need to cut the cord, swim away, and find a nice, calm pond where you won’t get fried.

Libra

Oh Libra, why must you be so fair and just? You’ve probably convinced yourself that your ex wasn’t “all that bad”, and you’ve likely played the pros and cons game more times than you can count. Here’s a tip: if “makes me feel like I’m losing my marbles” is on the cons list even once, it’s time to hit the eject button.

We get it, you’re all about balance. But here’s a thought, maybe balancing your wellbeing against a relationship that brings you more angst than happiness isn’t the harmony you should be seeking. Don’t worry, Libra. There are plenty more fish in the sea. And no, Pisces, we’re not suggesting you become one of those fish. Hang in there, buddy.

Leo

Fiery and fierce, Leo, you have this charming habit of turning life into a never-ending pageant, don’t you? Now, your ex, they were good for drama, but not the standing-ovation kind. More like the ‘throw tomatoes at the stage’ kind. It’s time to realize that this performance has run its course.

Honestly, we’ve seen you go back to them time and time again, and it’s like watching a lion trying to tame a snake. The audience cringes every time you get bitten and cheer when you break free, but then you go back for another round. Seriously, Leo, do you have a backstage deal with the snake we don’t know about? If it’s for the sake of the spectacle, trust me, there are other ways to keep the show going.
