These 3 Zodiac Signs Make The Best Exes

It’s so sad to watch good love gone bad. You were once very close to that person, and now they’re almost like a stranger. The joyful innocence you had at the beginning of the romance will never again be what it once was.

If the relationship—as well as the breakup—was very intense, it’ll probably be unsalvageable. If it was lighthearted and fun, there may be something that can be rescued. It depends on exactly how deep the split was, how severe the betrayal, what sort of mean things were said, and if you are willing to forgive them.

Depending on your personality, it may or may not be healthy to continue speaking with an ex. Then again, it also depends on your ex’s personality. As they say, it takes two to tango. It also takes two to break up, just as it takes two to forgive one another and continue speaking without falling back into the trap.

There are grudge-holding zodiac signs who burn all their bridges, delete all their photos, block all their contacts, and destroy all their mementos.

But here are three signs that are willing to forgive, forget, and still be friends.

1. Libra

The Scales are the most balanced sign in the zodiac. They choose harmony over chaos and soothing music over screeching industrial noise. They are not much for drama or high theatrics, nor are they prone to throwing tantrums when love fades. Their sense of balance and propriety means they rarely go overboard with love or hate, so don’t bet on them to go through the sort of breakup where property gets destroyed or police get called. They hate being alone and like to remember the good rather than the bad, so absent some kind of deep betrayal where someone had their heart broken or a limb injured, they will remain friends.

2. Sagittarius

Although Sag is a fire sign, their idea of passion tilts more in favor of sex and romance than anger and vengeance. Being ruled by Jupiter makes them trustworthy and kind. Their zodiac modality is mutable, so they are very forgiving and can roll with the changes without too much turmoil. They like to keep things light, so they won’t pick at scabs or dredge up old arguments. They have no problem with turning a lover into a friend. They will continue to care about the person, but not in the same way. And although they might, every once in a blue moon, slip up and spend the night with you, they won’t entertain unrealistic expectations of rekindling the flame.

3. Cancer

This is where it gets a little bit tricky. As the most emotional sign of the zodiac, Cancer feels everything more deeply than others—that includes hate as well as love, pain as well as pleasure. Unlike Libra and Sagittarius, they are not the type to go with flow, ride with the wind, and sail with the breeze. It may take them a very long time—possibly forever—to speak to you again once the embers of romantic passion have cooled down, especially if the split was less than amicable. The fact is that once they have loved a person, there’s a part of them that will always love them. But if they feel safe enough to let you back into their life, they will be grateful—and they will make you feel grateful, too. But be careful—their behavior will remind you of why you fell in love with them, and you may wind up regretting you ever broke up.
