Zodiac Signs Most To Least Likely To Be The Rebound Relationship
And we are not talking basketball.
It's unfortunate, but some zodiac signs are more likely to end up being the rebound relationship than the real thing. It could be that they were born a passionate zodiac sign who attracts people that are hurting from their previous relationships, or maybe they are just the type that doesn't like to be alone — like some water signs. But there's a difference between a soul tie and an astrological personality match. If you know the signs to look for, they aren't so difficult to spot.
Ever been in a relationship and had a small nagging feeling that you might just be a band-aid on someones broken heart? There are normally signs to make you think this. Like when your romantic interest can't help but bring up their ex in every conversation. Or if they don't commit exactly but still don't let you go. That's not their zodiac sign's personality flaw; it's a red flag you shouldn't be ignoring.
Or if you find a love poem, a dozen roses and an engagement ring engraved with their ex's name inside the drawer of their bedside table..... that's a little dramatic but you get my point.
If any of this sounds a bit familiar to you then I have some bad news. You may be a basketball that doesn't make it into the hoop, bounces off the backboard and into someone's hands. Yes, that's right, a rebound relationship. Also known as a fallback girl. A fallback girl is someone who isn't the first choice but is there and not complicated so they are chosen.
Being the rebound relationship isn't a fun job, and sometimes it can be good for you or work out. Most of the time these type of relationships do not end well for either party. It's a cycle of broken, and hearts. As a rebound, you fill a void but do not really get the love or attention you deserve. It's not something that anyone envisions when they think of their perfect relationship. A perfect relationship involves two astrologically compatible horoscope signs that are free in heart, soul, and mind to commit to each other.
It's not hopeless, that kind of relationships may work out. Stranger things have happened. But it's a lot more likely that when in a relationship like this the ending will be anything but blissful. If you have even a small inkling that you are the rebound you should just straight up ask. Love is hard enough, intuitive along doesn't make it any easier.
Looking into astrology and at your horoscope or zodiac sign can help tell if you are more inclined to be in this type of relationship. Check out the list below to see where your sign falls!
LIBRA (September 23- October 22)
Libras are blindly hopeful at times. Not dumb by any means but they may overlook some tell-tale signs that they are a rebound. Being optimistic and always wanting to have a good time will get them into some of these situations.
Libras just want to have fun so people are normally drawn to them anyway. But especially heartbroken people. Their charisma is enchanting. Libras should be wary of this. Instead of getting caught up in the fun whirlwind of a beginning relationship they should remember to dig a little deeper. Just to be safe before they get too invested.
PISCES (February 19- March 20)
Pisces are givers, healers and advice gurus. It's no wonder they tend to turn into the rebound. A lot of times they are the ones helping to nurse a broken heart. That tends to have the heartbroken turn to them for comfort, in more ways than one.
Pisces are selfless and see the good in people. This can be tricky. Even if some rebound signs are evident they will overlook them. They are emotionally charged and can get caught up. Pisces should remember that just because they love to give doesn't mean they have to give their whole heart away.
CANCER (June 21- July 22)
Cancers are relationship oriented. There is nothing more sacred or special to them than the bond they have with people. It is hard for a Cancer to turn down someone looking for companionship. It is simply just in their nature to be that shoulder to cry on.
When Cancers get caught up in their own emotions it turns into a tricky situation. They can be blinded by their own heart. Being so intuitive it is possible for Cancers to sense when a relationship is not all genuine. They just need to really focus on their gut instincts instead of their emotionally charged ones.
SCORPIO (October 23- November 21)
Scorpios are passionate and fiery. At the same time, they are deeply emotional. To them, a rebound relationship is an obstacle they can overcome. If they have feelings for someone they become territorial. When they sense that they might be a rebound they will not let go.
They believe they have the power to fix a broken heart and have the brokenhearted fall for them. Their elevated emotions can drive them, and boy are they driven. Scorpios need to remember that just because they want something doesn't mean it's right for them.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20)
Geminis are quick to jump into surface relationships. They do not like to have deep feelings right away. Being the rebound relationship is easy for them because they themselves do not want to be entangled in love. Being impulsive and sociable draws many people in.
When Geminis do develop more feelings, however, the game changes. A part of them will begin to realize that they could possibly be setting themselves up for disaster. It takes them time to make up their mind. Geminis should figure out what it is they truly want. Once they know this they can really start to work through their own emotions instead of brushing over them.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22- December 21)
Sagittarius are not the type to settle down easily. They love their freedom and sometimes do not think twice before taking huge risks. Relationships to them can become adventures. A rebound isn't something they seek out. But it's something they are not opposed to either.
To them, a rebound is great because neither person gets too committed. They still have their freedom. However, they should be careful because the heart is not predictable. At any moment the heart can want something very different than the head.
TAURUS (April 20- May 20)
Taurus are lovers. They are sensual and down to earth, romance comes easily. They never want to be the rebound, they want deep connections. It does happen to them though. Being so headstrong when they want someone, they really want them.
This blinds them from seeing the truth at times. But Taureans are quite smart. It is hard to change their mind, ultimately though they will not shortcut themselves. If they want someone and that someone is using them as a rebound it may take a, But eventually, Taurus will do what is best for them because they have an inherent sense of self-righteousness.
CAPRICORN (December 22- January 19)
Capricorns are deeply relationship oriented. They are quite smart too. Because they value their affairs if the heart so deeply they will not stay in a relationship if they feel they are a rebound. Their sense of responsibility to themselves is just too strong for that.
When someone is insincere to them it cuts them deeply. They are great at being level-headed but not in any sense weak. Being diplomatic with others does not set them up to being an emotional punching bag.
ARIES (March 21- April 19)
Aries are not the type to get into any relationship where they feel they are being short-handed. In fact, they are the sort to not get attached to people anyway. They do not like to be in any situation that makes them feel stagnant. A relationship can do that at times.
They want to always be on the move and evolving. A rebound relationship does not have too much potential for evolution so to them it is a waste of their time. Aries can sense when they are not a priority. They will not get upset over it, they will just leave you in the dust.
AQUARIUS (January 20- February 18)
Aquarius will not get into a rebound relationship. They are very clever and can read people. Unless someone is an amazing actor they can sense when a relationship is not all it seems. Once they realize that they will throw it away faster than last weeks newspaper.
They find their time valuable. They enjoy being on their own anyway. They do not do anything they believe to be wasteful, and a rebound relationship is something they consider a huge waste.
VIRGO (August 23- September 22)
Virgos are already hard to tie down. They are cautious and analytical when it comes to matters of the heart. Some can say they are already quite skeptical. If they get even an inkling of the possibility for them to be heartbroken they will run for the hills.
Their schedules are normally too jam packed to even entertain the idea of being someone's placeholder anyway. Virgos are intelligent, they know their self-worth and do not let others alter it.
LEO (July 23- August 22)
Leos will absolutely not be a rebound. They are their own biggest cheerleader and have immense self-confidence. Being a rebound goes against everything they believe in. Praise is their source of energy.
They will not enter into a relationship if they are not adored all the way around. Being a rebound means short-cutting themselves. Pride and confidence ooze from their core so having anyone put them as a "second choice" is a huge insult. You cant tame the lion unless you groom his mane.
