4 Zodiac Who Pretend They’re Over An Ex (When They’re Not Yet)

Aries

Trailblazing Aries, the leader of the Zodiac pack, is gifted with an ability to take intuitive action. Truly a fire sign, Aries is known for being strong, courageous, and action-oriented. When a breakup happens, it can startle their nervous system on a deeper-than-seen level. Not one who likes to express certain forms of vulnerability, Aries may play off a breakup as impacting them less than it is. Typically ready to jump into the next big thing, Aries is likely to resort to personal strengths during the breakup process. But under the surface, there are more emotional layers at play. 

Taurus

Rooted to both the earth and personal values, Taurus takes pride in being someone others can truly count on. When Taurus ends things with a potential partner early in the dating phase, it likely is something they can do with relative ease. But once bonds have formed and visions have been made, a sense that things aren’t going as once planned can eat away at their heartstrings. Not known for being outwardly emotional, Taurus ties their heart with integrity and has an iron will to ensure all actions are done with commitment. Taurus knows they are, and is, one of the most supportive and stable partners around. What makes Taurus an incredible partner is exactly what makes the breakup process so immensely painful on them.

Leo

Coming across as confident and outspoken, warmhearted Leo creates a web of meaning based on the relationships and people in their life. A sign driven for loyalty, the ending of a relationship can trigger questions that touch on Leo’s deepest wounds and fears. A Leo who feels hurt, or fears they hurt others, is likely to withdraw and may be hesitant to be vulnerable in new relationships. Although outgoing and strong, Leo may put on a suit of armor to prevent others from seeing the darker side of emotions they’re experiencing. With a smile on their face, Leo will continue to show up when duty calls and tend to the healing process inwardly.

Scorpio

A sign known for their passion and intensity, when a Scorpio loves, they love deeply. Although forming relationships can be a timely process, they have a hard time letting go during the breakup process. A Scorpio undergoes the majority of the breakup process in solitude, reflecting intimately and creating a path forward. This solitude comes both from fear of being seen as and is a byproduct of their intense nature itself. It’s not uncommon for a Scorpio to feel lost when close relationships dissolve. Even with reflection and support, letting go of an ex is a process only a Scorpio can undertake for themselves. There’s no set formula or timeline, and a Scorpio needs to see things clearly themselves.
