Transitioning from S.O. to ex-girlfriend can be tricky for some zodiac signs.
By Helen Luc — Written on Oct 09, 2017
Everyone can agree that exes and heartbreak after a breakup can sometimes be literally the worst.
You’ve probably heard at least a few stories about exes who went sour or bitter after a breakup.
Or maybe you’ve been a victim to a terrible ex yourself. These terrible exes have no shame in being petty and doing things just to annoy you.
It might seem hard to spot when someone will turn out to be a terrible ex after you two break up (after all, while you were dating, you were probably so sure this person was perfect), but looking to his or her zodiac sign can help.
Some zodiac signs are petty AF and will do anything to tick off their exes. Other signs try (no matter how hard) to stay on good terms with past lovers.
And then other signs completely avoid their exes, unfollow and unfriend in an attempt to cut off all contact after the breakup.
Everyone deals with breakups in different ways, and some zodiac signs just never let go of the old conflicts in their past relationships.
Heartbreak can get the best of these zodiac signs and will cause them to be on their absolute worst behavior.
There are so many ways that an ex can be terrible: they can be stalker-ish, jealous, passive-aggressive, or super clingy. If you’ve had the displeasure of dealing with a terrible ex, then you definitely have our condolences.
There’s nothing like breaking up with someone thinking that this will be the end of all your conflicts together, and then later discovering that they are completely petty and terrible when it comes to handling your breakup.
If you want to find out which zodiac signs are the pettiest (and which aren’t), according to astrology, then read on for our ranking of zodiac signs that make the worst exes.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
It’s safe to say that Leo hates most of her exes. She can’t stand even being in the same room as one of her exes.
She doesn’t take breakups very well, and she will be so petty about getting back at her ex.
She’ll even do things like flirt with her ex’s friends just to annoy him or her.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio can be very turbulent and anxious. When it comes to breakups, she doesn’t usually have good feelings about her exes.
She’ll gossip about her ex and she’ll even spread terrible rumors about him or her.
She’ll do whatever she can to make sure he or she is miserable.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn can be totally cold when it comes to her exes.
Especially if the breakup was a messy one, she will likely not look fondly at her ex.
If she runs into her ex in public, she won’t stop for small talk. Instead, she’ll glare at him or her and turn the other way.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus tends to be bitter when it comes to her exes. She doesn’t want to stay on good terms with her exes, because chances are, the relationship ended badly for her.
If she bumps into an ex, she’ll let her ex know that she’s having a great time without him or her in her life.
She’ll drop hints that she’s seeing other people, and she’ll definitely make an effort to make her ex feel bad. Ouch!
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini can be clingy after a breakup. It’s definitely understandable — breakups are hard to deal with.
Her ex will expect less contact after a breakup, but Gemini won’t take the hint.
Instead, she’ll text constantly and try to stay constant in her ex’s life. She simply has a hard time moving on.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius can be cold AF after a breakup. When it comes to breakups, Aquarius thinks the best course of action is burning bridges.
She will cut off all ties with her ex and pretend that their relationship never happened. She has no qualms about ghosting an ex.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo has a lot of trouble bouncing back after a breakup.
She’ll mope around for a while and she’ll get emotional whenever her ex’s name is mentioned.
She never hesitates to let her ex know how much he or she hurt her, and she’ll play the victim.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries tries to move on gracefully from past relationships, but sometimes the disappointments get the best of her.
She usually has no trouble being cordial and civil around an ex, but when she’s having a particularly emotional night, she might text an old ex and bring up old conflicts.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra tries to stay on good terms with her exes, but this doesn’t always happen.
Sometimes, her relationships end so badly that she can’t help but have bad feelings toward an ex.
If it’s possible, she’ll avoid unnecessary drama with an ex, but her impulses might get the best of her and she might be a little mean or sassy the next time she bumps into a past lover.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius is not one to stay upset for long after a breakup. She bounces back quickly and jumps from relationship to relationship.
If someone brings up an old flame, she’ll just shrug and then change the topic of the conversation.
She tries not to get too hung up over exes.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer likes to end relationships on a good note.
When she shares a strong bond with someone, she can’t easily forget about it even after the breakup.
She recognizes that her past relationships have expired, and she tries not to hold grudges for too long.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces thinks it’s important to have healthy relationships. Even after her relationships end, she thinks fondly of her exes.
She acknowledges that her past relationships — despite the disappointments — were meaningful.
She tries to learn from her mistakes, and she definitely tries to move on gracefully after a breakup.
