Top 5 Zodiac Signs Who Struggle to Let Go After Heartbreak

We all have been here—heartbroken, stuck, and not quite sure how to move on from the past or move forward with life after a terrible breakup, loss, or trauma. Some people have incredible advantages in life, such as being able to separate past and present, recognize what’s not worth the time, and walk away. However, certain individuals take longer to make a comeback after healing completely. Some zodiac signs forget that there is much more life ahead, and that circumstances are just a test—everything is an experience that makes us evolve in every possible way.

If you’ve wondered why you’re struggling to free yourself from the pain of past love, you’re at the right place. Astrology and zodiac signs can provide insights into how different people might experience and handle heartbreak, as each sign has unique traits, strengths, and challenges when it comes to emotions and relationships. Maybe your zodiac sign is one of those that take a lot of effort to let go. Let’s get to know yourself better and heal—untangle the mess!


1. Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Loyal Earth Sign

Did you know that Taurus, an earth sign, is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty? Taurus is known for its loyalty, stability, and love for comfort. When they invest in a relationship, they give it their all. Because they crave security and long-lasting connections, they have a hard time letting go after a breakup that once felt meaningful.

Taurus can take a while to heal from emotional wounds and often holds onto the past in hopes that things will eventually work out. It’s not that they’re stubborn for no reason; they truly believe in the power of persistence and sometimes cling to a relationship even when they know it’s no longer right for them.

Taurus, appreciate and value yourself more!


2. Cancer (June 21 – July 22): The Emotional Water Sign

Cancer is ruled by the moon, which governs emotions and instincts, making them deeply in tune with their feelings. Nurturing, emotional, and sentimental, Cancer loves deeply. When they give their heart to someone, they give all of it. That’s why they have a tendency to hold onto past relationships long after they’re over and become nostalgic over every memory like a lifeline.

They have a unique ability to feel emotions intensely and personally, so letting go can feel like losing a part of themselves. This sign often romanticizes the past, believing things could’ve worked out if only certain circumstances had been different. It can take them a long time to stop looking back, even though they know it’s time to move on.

Step into wholeness and harmony within yourself, Cancer!


3. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): The Intense Water Sign

Scorpios are often considered “mystical”—did you know that? Scorpios are known for their intensity and passion, especially when it comes to love. When a Scorpio falls, they fall hard, which can make it incredibly difficult for them to move on after a breakup. Their intense feelings don’t just fade overnight.

Scorpios may even hold onto the emotional scars of the past, analyzing, obsessing, and looping every incident to find what went wrong. And while they may try to hide their emotions behind a tough exterior, inside they’re still like marshmallows, processing the loss. Scorpios have a tendency to keep things bottled up, which can make it harder for them to let go.

Scorpio, stop neglecting and ignoring the inner you!


4. Leo (July 23 – August 22): The Proud Fire Sign

Here’s a fun fact: Leos are said to be the "royal" sign of the zodiac, known for their pride and confidence. However, don’t be fooled—their hearts are soft, and they love deeply. When a Leo is in love, they expect the relationship to be as grand and passionate as they are. A breakup can blow their ego, and they may struggle with letting go of someone who didn’t recognize their worth.

Leos don’t like feeling like they’ve been wasted in love, and they can hold onto the hope that things will work out, even when they know it’s time to move on. They may also have a hard time accepting that they weren’t the ones who had the power to end things on their terms.

Learn deeply in silence and rip out the darkness from your heart, Leo!


5. Virgo (August 23 – September 22): The Overthinker Earth Sign

Did you know that Virgos are known as "perfectionists" who believe in the power of small details? When they commit to someone, they do so with the intention of building something that lasts. So when a relationship falls apart, it can feel like a personal failure to them.

Virgos tend to overthink, so they often feel stuck replaying every little detail of the relationship, wondering what went wrong. They also tend to hold themselves responsible for things beyond their control that can’t be fixed again. Moving on becomes a challenge because Virgos take longer to process the breakup.

Feel yourself inside out and reconnect with your soul, Virgo!


Each zodiac sign has its unique way of handling emotional turmoil, and some struggle more than others when it comes to releasing old connections. This may be because they are very emotional or scared of new situations, making it harder for them to move forward. If you fall into one of these signs, just know that it’s okay to take your time. A person can get better and find joy again, no matter what their star sign is.

Healing is a personal journey, and there’s no right or wrong way to cut ties. But also, remember that there’s a whole world of possibilities ahead of you. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to embrace the unknown and let go of what’s not worthy or no longer serving you.
