Why She Wants You Back Now, According To Your Zodiac Sign
Should you give your ex another chance?
Depending on your zodiac sign, breaking up with someone can either be really easy or really heartbreaking for you.
Of course, it also matters how compatible your horoscopes were with each other astrologically speaking.
Naturally, when you realize you had something good with a person you loved, you want to get back together again, but what if you thought it was over and suddenly, it's your ex who is asking for a second chance and you're not sure if that's a good idea.
For example, if all you ever did was fight and there never really seemed like there was a lot of love going around, it might have still hurt, but it was probably a lot less miserable than it could have been.
Or if you really felt a soulmate connection with someone, the break-up probably really took a toll on you and starting over again with the same person seems scary.
You don't want to end up being in one of those incompatible zodiac sign relationships you read about in astrology where you really only start to feel something for your ex after you’ve broken up with them; like you only realized just how good you had and how great your horoscopes were together after you broke up?
Should you give your ex a second chance when she wants you back now claiming that she didn't realize it before? (Maybe you secretly hoped to make it right, too.)
Well, it depends. I think that if you and your ex didn't leave the relationship in tatters, you probably could make a second chance work, as long as both parties are up for it.
But it can still be confusing to you if all of a sudden, your ex comes around asking for a second chance. How do you know it's not just because she's lonely?
Before you make any decisions, you have to know what the reason is for your ex wanting you back; the more informed you are, the better your chances are of making this second chance worth it.
Don't think that the only reason your ex wants you back is because she misses texting someone or because she wants a few free meals out of the deal.
Think that she wants you back because she loves you and because you've got so much good stuff to give.
A lot of people break up with someone they really love because they're not ready or because they made a mistake.
And when you give your ex the benefit of the doubt, it opens your heart to new possibilities and maybe even a future together, knowing what you know now.
A lot of people want to get back with their exes because they don't realize just how much they miss the little things they shared with that person.
And depending on what your horoscope says about you, these little things vary from person to person.
Maybe your ex wants you back because no one knows how to make a boring weekday night feel like a party better than Sagittarius.
Maybe your ex misses having those deep, late-night conversations with their favorite Aquarius (AKA you).
There are a lot of different reasons why your ex would want to get back with you and your zodiac sign can have a lot of influence on that.
And when she wants you back, it's because you had a positive influence on her life.
Now it's on you to decide if you want to get back with her and how you're going to play it.
Don't jump right into a new relationship with your ex without really taking into account how you feel in the moment when she comes to you asking for a second chance, as well as after you've had time to ruminate on the thought.
But before all that, keep reading for some enlightenment on why she wants you back now, according to your zodiac sign using astrology as a guide.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
People only appreciate what they have after it's gone and when she's dating you, Aries, she doesn't realize just how fun you really were when you two were together. You could make anything seem like fun, even grocery shopping, but when you really had fun together, you went all out.
And now that you're broken up, she realizes just how much she misses you and all the crazy stuff you did together. When she wants you back, it's because she misses the thrill you added to her life.
She might have tried to find that thrill in someone else, but when she realizes that there really is no one else like Aries, she wants you back. Expect her to try to win you back by reminding you of all the memories you made together.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
One of the best things about you Taurus is that you always know how to bring security to your relationships. There's something about your reliability whenever your girlfriend wants you and your promise to always give her what she needs that makes you an unforgettable boyfriend.
So, naturally, when you break up with her, she's going to miss everything you've done for her. When she wants you back, it's because you made her feel safe. It might have been as simple as holding her while you slept together or something bigger like walking her home after a late-night class, but your security is appreciated more than you know.
Now that she's without you, the comfort of not having you around to keep her close is starting to wear on her.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
One of the hardest things for your ex after you've broken up is seeing how much fun you used to have together on social media. You're all about documenting all of the fun you have when you're out with your girlfriend or your crew, so when it’s all over, that’s definitely one of the first things she's going to miss about you. More specifically, how exciting you are.
When she wants you back, it's because you can make even the most mundane activities exciting. Even if you were just cooking dinner together or cleaning the apartment, any time spent with you put a smile on her face. And as for actually making plans to go out, well all she has to do is revisit your Instagram page to remember just how great those times were.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer, when you're in a relationship, you always give it your everything. You never pick and choose who to love; whoever comes into your life, they automatically become someone you care for deeply and completely. So, it's safe to say that when you and your girlfriend break up, there's definitely something to miss about you, right? Right.
When your ex wants you back, you're not the type of person to immediately turn her away without an explanation first. Unless she's really hurt you, you're curious as to why she came back.
But more often than not, she wants you back now because you loved her unconditionally and honestly. With you, she never had to guess if your feelings for her were real; she always felt loved and that is something she can't help but miss now.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo, you know what it's like to feel like you matter, both in the world and to someone you love. And whenever you're in a relationship, you always try to make your partner feel like she matters. For you especially, that usually means spoiling your partner with gifts, but it also means just making her laugh; there's nothing like having someone you can laugh with.
Your ex wants you back now because you made her happy and you made her feel important. You are the type of boyfriend who always has time to pick up the phone when your girlfriend calls and you always make time for her on the weekends, whether that's a fancy dinner or just hanging out at home. She misses that about you, but frankly, you probably miss it, too.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo, you might be a serious, analytical soul, but that doesn't mean that you're not also a lot of fun. What your ex-girlfriend loved about you was that you always had a smile on your face and you were always ready to take on the day. You don't let stress or tough times get to you because you know they're just a reason to work harder in life.
When your ex wants you back, it's because she's realized that you were right about all of this. Instead of getting angry and giving up, you always pushed yourself harder. She misses that positive impact you had on her life that made her want to try harder and keep her chin up when times were tough. You made her want to be that person who always pushes herself to be great.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libra, there's no denying that you're a deep thinker who sometimes overthinks things instead of letting them out and talking with someone about what's going on in that head of yours. Of course, you want to make sure that whoever you do let into your life is someone you can trust and love without judgment, so it makes sense that you would protect your heart.
And when you do find that someone, you know how it feels to be uncomfortable opening up to just anyone, so you always try to make your girlfriend feel safe and welcome.
Your ex wants you back because you made her feel understood. You were the one she felt most comfortable opening up to and she misses that you loved her (and the way she overthinks everything) without judgment.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
No one can deny that you are a fiery, passionate person Scorpio, least of all your ex. As soon as you broke up with each other, she realizes what a mistake that was. When you were together, you were the one who brought that spark and she now knows that there really is no one else out there like you.
Your spark came in many forms, which is why your ex wants you back now. Whether you were passionate in the bedroom, about something new you wanted to learn, or even your favorite sports team, you always made her feel inspired to find her own spark. When she wants you back, it's because she needs a refresher on how to be as passionate and inspired as you.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You are one of a kind, Sagittarius, so it makes sense that your ex would want to come back and give a relationship with you another try. With you, there was always smiles and fun, but now that she's alone, there's definitely something missing in her life that she can't shake off.
She especially feels it when she gets too stressed out at work or when she's bored and home alone on a Friday night. When she wants you back, it's because you were so carefree.
She misses not having that silly person cheer her up after a rough day at work or making a boring Friday night of laundry and leftovers for dinner feel like a fun night in. You reminded her that life doesn't (and shouldn't) have to be so serious all the time and she misses that greatly.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
If anyone can make life and everything in it feel like a walk in the park, it's you Capricorn. You know what it takes to be successful, you know how to combat stress and make arguments seem like small potatoes, and you know how to have fun without even trying. In short, you're pretty flawless. So, it makes sense that your ex would want you back after getting a dose of Capricorn.
Now she wants you back and it's all because of the impact you had on her life. You made her life feel like a total upgrade, all by just being a part of it. You showed her how to get a leg up in her career, you made her feel special and loved, and you knew how to spoil her so that she had a perma-smile on her face the entire day. Who wouldn't miss that?!
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
A lot of people say this about the exes that they miss (and it isn't always true), but it is when your ex-girlfriend is talking about you, Aquarius. When she wants you back, and she most definitely will, it's because you made her feel life a better person. And now that you're gone, she doesn't know how to be that good person anymore.
For you, being helpful, kind, and standing up for what you believe in comes naturally to you, so when your ex saw something in you that inspired her to be a better person, it wasn't because you were trying to show off, it was because you showed her good people don't have to brag about who they are to make a difference, which is exactly what she wants to do - with you.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces, there's something to say about the people (like you) who walk into someone’s life and changes it completely. You're a unique individual who is unlike any boyfriend she's probably ever going to have again, so it's only natural that she would want to give the relationship another try.
When you ex wants you back, it's because you're a special find. And I know it sounds cheesy, but you're different from anyone else she's dated. You're someone who she can come home to at night and feel totally at ease with because you have so much love to give her.
And when times get tough, you know how to stay strong without backing down, which in itself is an admirable trait that she wants to learn from again.
