How Each Sign Handles Being Ghosted

A couple of weeks ago we explored which signs were more likely to ghost you. People had strong opinions, so this week we look at the other side of the issue: how signs respond to being cut off. Since no one is immune to being ghosted, this article will briefly touch on all twelve signs. The issue is really about lack of closure, which falls under the umbrella of losing control. When someone ghosts you, they are taking away your opportunity to respond.

Aries

Your first instinct is to fight it. You send an angry text or voicemail, because WTF? You’re always up for a challenge, but ghosting is asshole behavior and you don’t stand for that. You also don’t have time to waste on someone who pulls this shit, so fuck them. You quickly move on. Good riddance.

Taurus

As mellow as you are, you have difficulty letting go. Being ghosted will trigger your resistance to change. So you’ll call, and keep calling. Not a blizzard of calls, but one or two voicemails/emails for a few weeks. Your tone will be quietly resentful. But if someone is treating you like this, they’re obviously not a match for you. Eventually, you’ll stop calling and never look back.

Gemini

That’s interesting – you’re being ghosted! This new wrinkle may capture your interest, because you didn’t see it coming. If you’re only mildly into this person, you may send one text. If you really liked the ghoster, you may send a flurry of texts or quick emails. You’re not angry, just curious. But zero response gets boring really quickly, so you’ll move on after a day (or a few hours).

Cancer

You take it personally. How can you not? Your inquiries will be infused with hurt and anger. You will make it abundantly clear to him/her that what they’re doing is subhuman. You may flip back and forth between anger, sadness and attempts to woo the ghoster back. After a few weeks of intense mourning/eating, you’ll move forward. But you’ll never forget them.

Leo

This sort of thing never happens to you. But if it does, nothing triggers you like being ignored. Your over-the-top emails may contain dire predictions of how this treatment will trigger your heart condition/scar you emotionally. But you’ll also want the ghoster to know that you’ll survive. You’ll send pictures of yourself looking fabulous and having an amazing time. Depending on how much you were into him/her, you may never fully forget them. But your pride will kick in and you’ll stop reaching out.

Virgo

Obviously, you did something wrong. While analyzing what that something could be, you’ll send email after email. Then, you’ll chastise him/her (because what they are doing is wrong, so you need to correct them). Then, you’ll apologize. Then, you’ll apologize again for flooding their inbox with voicemails, and you’ll send a couple more voicemails to reassure them that you’ll stop. And you will stop, once you exhaust yourself. In the end, it’s not so much that they ghosted you, but that you can’t figure out why.

Libra

This is your worst nightmare – apparently, someone doesn’t like you. Your first thought may be about how you can make it up to the ghoster, even though they’re the ones treating you poorly. Your initial texts/emails may have an apologetic tone. Your inquires will contain barbed comments disguised as concern. But you’ll move on after a few weeks, especially if someone new catches your eye. If you’re in a dating dry spell, this person may become the “one that got away.”

Scorpio

Your unspoken approach is that no one is allowed to leave without your permission. But, you won’t be shocked if you’re ghosted, because you suspect that anyone is capable of it. Fortunately, you know where the ghoster lives, so you’ll hang out a few blocks away to see if they have any overnight visitors. The volume of your texts/emails can range from deluge to steady trickle, but they will continue for a long, long time. Your tone will become increasingly acidic. But you will move on, after a few months or years. And the ghoster will be dead to you.

Sagittarius

Someone’s actually ghosting you? This will make you chuckle, even if it stings a bit. It’s such a lame move! How much effort does it take to do the right thing and say goodbye? You may fire a couple of texts their way, asking them what the deal is. You may even get annoyed (briefly) because what they’re doing is just not right. Your final email may lecture them on things like decency. But you’ll forget them (literally) in a week or two, because you have so much more going on.

Capricorn

Control is a must, and that means no one will ever see you sweat. You may not even respond to being ghosted. Even if this treatment cuts you to the bone, you’ll be damned if you’re going give him/her the satisfaction of knowing they hurt you. You may send one text, but it will be carefully phrased to sound ultra cool. After that, you move on, because you simply don’t have time for this.

Aquarius

You have feelings like everyone else. Being ghosted hurts. But unlike everyone else, you can step back quickly and see the bigger picture. Even as you’re feeling the pain, part of you is observing, and another part of you is already looking towards the future. You may or may not send a couple of inquiring emails. It depends on how much you liked the ghoster. Sometimes, being ignored actually increases your attraction for a bit. But if he/she isn’t into you, your desire to move on will quickly assert itself. You have no interest in putting energy into a one-way connection.

Pisces

Being ghosted could send you into a tailspin, depending on the strength of your illusions. It’s possible for you to build a relationship with someone you’ve never talked to. So actually having contact with someone and being cut off may trigger profound depression mixed with the realization that you “love” them. If they don’t want you, they’re obviously your soul mate. Your voicemails/texts/emails will be dripping with bewildered pain. This can continue for awhile, as you drift through all the stages of grief. Your moment of detachment will hit instantly or gradually, depending on the strength of the connection you felt. But after you detach, you may not even remember why you craved this person.
