Some people immediately go on dates after a breakup, while others cannot let go of the past for years. Astrologers assure that the speed of "recovery" after love directly depends on your zodiac sign. Find out how long you specifically need to truly forget your ex.
♈ Aries — about a year
Aries seem strong, but they actually struggle to cope with a breakup. They invest their whole soul into relationships and take a long time to recover from betrayal. Full recovery takes about a year.
♉ Taurus — 4–5 years
Taurus hate change, so they let go of the past slowly. A breakup throws them off their usual rhythm and robs them of a sense of stability. The best remedy is work, friends, and new habits.
♊ Gemini — a few months
Easygoing Geminis do not cling to the past. They quickly distract themselves and find someone new. For them, the best way to forget is to get involved in something (or someone) else.
♋ Cancer — about six months
Cancers cannot stand loneliness and often jump into new relationships right away, even if they are still hurting inside. Usually, after about six months, their heart finally lets go.
♌ Leo — 6–12 months
After a breakup, Leos try to prove to everyone that they are doing great without their exes. But when the show is over, silence falls — and internal recovery can take up to a year.
♍ Virgo — 3–4 years
Virgos find it hard to enter new relationships — it is easier for them to analyze the past than to start anew. Sometimes loneliness drags on for years, but the new feeling will be conscious.
♎ Libra — 1–2 years
Libras take a long time to process and analyze the reasons for the breakup. They need time to forgive and let go. However, afterward, they are open to true love.
♏ Scorpio — it depends on the situation
If the breakup was amicable, a Scorpio will forget in a week. But if they were betrayed, they will remember it for years until they feel justice.
♐ Sagittarius — up to 2 months
Optimistic Sagittarius do not dwell on the past. They quickly find where to direct their energy — towards adventures, new connections, or simply freedom.
♑ Capricorn — several years
Capricorns rarely fall in love for real, but if it happens, forgetting is hard. They take a long time to process the experience, turning pain into maturity and strength.
♒ Aquarius — 4–5 months
Even if it hurts, Aquarius lets go quickly. Freedom is more important to them than suffering. Sometimes nostalgia hits, but never for long.
♓ Pisces — up to 5 years
The most sensitive zodiac signs. Pisces live in dreams and hold onto the past for a long time. But as soon as they let go, they gain an amazing inner lightness.
✨ Conclusion: time heals all — each sign just needs its own duration. Don’t rush yourself: you can only let go of the past when you are truly ready for something new.
