Astrologers have named the zodiac signs whose representatives find it hardest to get over a breakup and leave past relationships behind. The ranking includes all 12 signs, from those who move on quickly to the true champions of nostalgia.

RBC-Ukraine reveals which signs made the top three and who finds it hardest to put an end to a past relationship.

12th place – Aquarius

Aquarius is best at leaving the past behind. They value freedom, so after a breakup, they are more likely to focus on new plans than dwell on memories of an ex.

11th place – Sagittarius

Sagittarius doesn’t like to spend too long mourning what has already ended. They are much more interested in looking ahead, traveling, meeting new people and seeking new experiences.

10th place – Aries

Aries can go through a breakup intensely, but they usually recover fairly quickly. Their nature tells them that if a relationship has ended, it’s time to move on rather than endlessly replaying the past in their minds.

9th place – Capricorn

Capricorn can spend a long time analyzing what went wrong, but emotions rarely make them turn back. Once they decide to end things, they try to stick to their decision.

8th place – Virgo

Virgo may think about an ex, especially if the relationship left many unanswered questions. However, their desire to analyze everything eventually helps them accept the situation and let the person go.

7th place – Taurus

Taurus finds it difficult to give up familiar comforts, so after a breakup, they may continue to miss their life together for a long time. Once the pain fades, however, they prefer to build a stable future rather than live in the past.

6th place – Gemini

Gemini may seem to forget an ex easily, only to suddenly remember them because of a song, photo or old message. They often keep their exes within their information circle, making it difficult to completely break the emotional connection.

5th place – Libra

Libra tends to remember past relationships for a long time, especially if they were beautiful and romantic. They may struggle to accept that a once-harmonious relationship is now only a memory.

4th place – Leo

Leo may pretend they forgot their ex long ago, but they have an excellent memory. It can be especially difficult for them to let go of relationships in which they felt loved, special, and desired – so attention from an ex can still flatter their ego.

3rd place – Pisces

Pisces are true champions of nostalgia. They tend to idealize past relationships, remember the best moments and mentally return to a person even long after the romance has ended.

2nd place – Cancer

Cancer finds it particularly difficult to let go of people they have become deeply attached to. Memories of shared moments, care and a sense of home can remain emotionally important to them for years.

1st place – Scorpio

Scorpio tops the ranking of those who take the longest to forget an ex. They experience love deeply, so even after a breakup, they may remember details of the relationship for years, while interest from an ex-partner can only fuel those feelings.
