With phones attached to our souls, it's so easy to ghost someone if you're not into them. Plus, that way, you don't have to deal with an emotional, in-person breakup. But damn, depending on what sign you're ghosting (I hate ghosting, but I'm a Scorpio. If I was a Libra, I'd live by it), they might show up at your door with a torch and demand an explanation. Or they could hex you. Or they could even be thankful that you ghosted them and saved them the trouble.
How will your soon-to-be-ghosted flame react? Read on to find out! (We've even included pictures of some of our favorite celebs who represent each sign!)
Aquarians are from another planet. They want you to believe that when you ghost them, they won't give a shit because they're too busy floating around high on psychedelics at some political, art-scene festival in the desert. They may keep that act going for like 15 minutes, but within a day or two these water-bearers are going to show their true colors, flip the fuck out, and live Tweet an orgy as a form of revenge.
A Pisces will take a bath and cry if you ghost them and they liked you. They might not come out for an entire day. However, Pisces are usually dating 8,000 people at once, so if you ghost them and they're not into you, they might not even notice.
An Aries, which are cute and powerful little rams, will headbutt the shit out of you if you ghost them. Of course, you may not know that they are doing this, as they'll keep a confident and cool demeanor. But behind closed doors they are hexing you, sobbing, and planning ways to get back your attention. As my friend, astrologer, and Aries Annabel Gat taught me, the only way to get rid of an Aries is to act pathetic and clingy.
A Taurus will continue to stubbornly text you after being ghosted if they don't want you to leave them. Poor cows (that's not an insult, the Taurus is a cow). When they eventually accept their fate they will curl up on their comfy couch and eat lots of snacks to make themselves feel better.
A Gemini will go on a Twitter rant about you if you ghost them. (Kanye West is infamously a Gemini.) Despite their independent nature, their sign is marked by the twins, so they are always looking for their partner. Eventually, however, they will move on to another lover and continue their plans of world domination.
A Cancer loves the home and family and does not do well when such walls come crumbling down (Lindsay Lohan is another celebrity Cancer). If you ghost them, these little crabs will fall even more deeply in love with you, and come back again and again, as Cancers love nostalgia and the past.
Leos are powerful, prideful, lions. However, this can work in your favor if you want to ghost them. They likely will be too proud to give you shit or come after you. Instead, they'll lick their wounds and sulk in silence. And of course, post some hot selfies.
Virgos are organized and meticulous. They like things in order and they want answers. If you ghost them, they will likely demand an explanation, and text you on a schedule until you give them one. Then they will keep a log of it, and adjust their dating behavior accordingly so it doesn't happen to them again.
A Libra might not even notice if you ghost them, as they always have multiple sidepieces. Can you even ghost Libras? They usually ghost you.
Scorpios require honesty and communication, and nothing makes them raise their stingers like feeling played and left in the dark. They will hunt you down and demand an explanation, and then plot your demise. Even if they act chill about it, they will never forget nor forgive you. If you ghosted a Scorpio, you're probably hexed.
A Sagittarius might be glad that you ghosted them because you were getting on their nerves anyways. However, they will send you a text or an email pretending like it was their idea to end it to make sure that they keep the power. This sign is horny AF and will be fucking someone else within a week.
A devilish Capricorn will ghost you right the fuck back. They will become silent. They will get into your head. They'll have you thinking, "Wait, did I ghost them, or did they ghost me? Maybe I should text them to double check what's going on." And then you'll end up dating again, sorry.
