Why It Takes Each Zodiac So Long To Heal From Heartbreak

January

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you aren’t really trying to get over this person. You don’t want to move on because it means accepting that they’re really gone. But you can’t hold onto the wrong person forever. You have to let them go, for both of your benefits.

February

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are sensitive. You naturally need more time than some others to deal with your emotions and that’s okay. You can’t rush the process. You can’t get impatient. Stay gentle with yourself. You’re going to get through this eventually.

March

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you have trouble going no contact. Whenever something pops into your head that reminds you of this person, you want to text them. You want to try to stay friends with them. But remaining so close to them can make it hard for you to get over them. They’re too present, too impossible to forget.

April

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are scared of getting hurt again. You don’t want to put your heart on the line if it’s only going to end up crushed. But not every relationship will end the way your last one did. Some loves are built to last, and you need to be brave enough to risk it if you want to find the right one for you.

May

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you have self-confidence struggles. You feel like no one else is going to love you like your ex did. You feel like falling in love was a fluke, a one-time thing. But you weren’t in a relationship on accident. You were in a relationship because you’re a catch. And your ex isn’t the only person who will see that.

June

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you distract yourself instead of actively dealing with your emotions. You push away your sadness and try not to think about it in order to save yourself the trouble. But really, you’re only prolonging your pain. You need to stop bottling up your emotions and let them loose so you can process them and move past them.

July

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you have trouble accepting that the relationship is really over. You are still thinking of your ex as an option for your happily ever after. You want to get back together with them — but if it didn’t work out the first time, there might not be a point in trying a second time. Find someone new, someone who hasn’t hurt you and never will.

August

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are nostalgic. You keep looking at the past with rose colored glasses and assuming that everything was better back then. You keep forgetting about all the problems and focus on the good things. But your past is your past for a reason. It belongs behind you.

September

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are an overthinker. You want to figure out what went wrong in the relationship so you replay every interaction in your head and reread every text a million times. But you have to accept that sometimes things simply don’t work out. There’s not always a good reason. You won’t always get closure.

October

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are a romantic. You so badly wanted to find your person and are devastated that you got it wrong. But you need to remember that every heartbreak is a step closer to the right relationship. Use this as a lesson, a chance to grow. And please, don’t give up on love as a whole.

November

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you are a cynic. One heartbreak convinces you that love isn’t worth it at all. But that’s not true. History doesn’t have to repeat itself. Beautiful love is out there and it’s waiting for you.

December

It takes you a long time to heal from heartbreak because you get attached to people who matter to you. You have a hard time separating from them because you wanted the connection to be permanent, not temporary. But loss is a part of life. Saying goodbye isn’t inherently a bad thing. It could be the best thing to ever happen to you.
