How each astrological sign reacts to being ghosted

Even with our phones practically attached to our souls, it's still so easy to ghost someone if you're not into them. Is it a cool thing to do? In most cases probably not, but who likes confrontation?

While being the ghoster may be more painless, being on the other end of this disappearing act can be really painful or at the very least very confusing. Some folks roll with those emotions better than others, and depending on your astrological sign, some take it very badly (yes, Scorpio we are looking at you.)

So, if you're on the verge of going full ghost on someone, here's what you can expect on how they will react, based on their astrological sign. (We've even included pictures of some of our favorite celebs who represent each sign!)

1. Aquarius

As always Aquarius is a bit unpredictable. On the one hand, their independent spirit keeps them from getting attached really quickly, but on the other, their fierce loyalty and honesty mean they find this kind of behavior especially shady. Most likely they won't show you how they are feeling — at first. But after the initial coolness within a day or two, these water-bearers are going to show their true colors, flip the eff out, and live Tweet an orgy as a form of revenge.

2. Pisces

Emotional Pisces will handle being ghosted just as you expect... emotionally.

A Pisces will take a bath and cry if you ghost them and they like 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.

3. Aries

An Aries, which are cute and powerful little rams, will headbutt the hell out of you — metaphorically — 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 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.

4. Taurus

A Taurus will continue to stubbornly text you after being ghosted if they don't want you to leave them. When they eventually accept their fate they will curl up on their comfy couch and eat lots of snacks to make themselves feel better.

5. Gemini

A Gemini will go on a social media rant about you if you ghost them. 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.

6. Cancer

A Cancer loves the home and family and does not do well when such walls come crumbling down. 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.

7. Leo

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 admit you hurt them or come after you. Instead, they'll lick their wounds and sulk in silence. And of course, post some hot selfies.

8. Virgo

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.

9. Libra

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.

10. Scorpio

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.

11. Sagittarius

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.

12. Capricorn

A devilish Capricorn will ghost you right 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.
