While some people are quick to delete numbers and move on without looking back, others find themselves lingering in the past — sometimes with a late-night text to their ex. In the world of astrology, certain signs are more prone to rekindling old flames or seeking closure (or drama!).
Here are the top 5 zodiac signs most likely to text their ex — and maybe regret it later:
1. Cancer
The Sentimental Soul
Cancers are deeply emotional and nostalgic. When they’ve loved someone, it’s hard for them to let go — even if the relationship ended long ago. A sad song, old photo, or lonely night might be all it takes for Cancer to send that “Hey… how have you been?” message.
Why they text their ex:
- They crave emotional connection and closure.
- They remember the good times more than the bad.
- They believe people can change — and relationships can heal.
2. Pisces
The Dreamy Romantic
Pisces live in their emotions and are known to romanticize the past. They might text an ex not just out of longing, but out of hope that things could magically work out this time. They’re idealists who wear rose-colored glasses — especially after heartbreak.
Why they text their ex:
- They follow their heart, not logic.
- They believe in second chances and fairy tale endings.
- They miss the emotional depth of a connection.
3. Libra
The Hopeless Harmonizer
Libras hate conflict and unfinished business. If a breakup felt messy or unresolved, they’ll feel drawn to patch things up — even if it’s just for peace of mind. They might not want their ex back, but they want things to feel “balanced” again.
Why they text their ex:
- They can’t stand lingering tension or awkwardness.
- They crave companionship and flirtation.
- They’re easily swayed by loneliness and charm.
4. Scorpio
The Intense Attachment
Scorpios don’t fall easily — but when they do, it’s deep. If they still feel emotionally or physically connected to an ex, they might reach out to test the waters or gain closure. With Scorpio, it’s never “just a text” — it’s an emotional power move.
Why they text their ex:
- They’re driven by unresolved emotions or curiosity.
- They want to know if the other person still feels the same.
- They sometimes seek control or closure through connection.
5. Gemini
The Curious Communicator
Geminis are talkative, flirty, and sometimes impulsive. They might text an ex just to say hi, out of boredom, or because something reminded them of that person. It’s not always deep — but it can still stir the pot.
Why they text their ex:
- They get curious or nostalgic on a whim.
- They love a good conversation or reconnection.
- They may not even realize it’s a bad idea until afterward.
Final Thoughts
Texting an ex isn’t always about wanting them back — sometimes it’s about closure, curiosity, or the comfort of something familiar. These five zodiac signs are the most likely to hit send on that fateful message… and then wait to see what happens next.
