Breakups are messy. Some people delete numbers, block accounts, and never look back. Then there are those signs who can’t help but peek back at the past. Whether it’s out of love, nostalgia, or just curiosity, certain zodiac signs are way more likely to text their ex.
Let’s be honest — we’ve all been tempted. But these four signs? They act on it. Here are the 4 zodiac signs most likely to text their ex (and probably regret it later).
Cancer
Cancer never really stops caring.
This water sign feels everything deeply. They form strong emotional bonds, and even after a breakup, those feelings don’t just disappear. Cancer remembers the laughs, the cuddles, the little things — and sometimes, that’s all it takes for them to send a “Hey, how have you been?” message.
It’s not about drama. It’s about connection. Cancer craves emotional closure and comfort. They might miss the relationship, or they might just miss how it felt. Either way, they’re likely to reach out.
If you get a late-night text from a Cancer, they’re probably missing your presence more than anything else.
Pisces
Pisces lives in their feelings.
This dreamy, romantic water sign loves deeply and remembers everything through a soft-focus lens. They romanticize the past. And when they feel lonely or emotional, texting an ex suddenly feels like a beautiful idea.
Pisces might convince themselves that there’s still hope — that love deserves another shot. Even if the breakup made sense, they’ll remember the good over the bad. That’s what makes them hit send.
If a Pisces texts you, chances are it’s coming from a place of love, hope, and a tiny bit of emotional confusion.
Libra
Libra hates conflict. And they really hate unfinished business.
This air sign craves harmony. If a breakup felt messy, unclear, or abrupt, Libra might reach out to smooth things over. But here’s the catch — sometimes that “let’s just talk” text quickly turns into “I kinda miss you.”
Libras aren’t always trying to rekindle romance. Sometimes they just want emotional closure. But other times, their fear of loneliness or their love for connection makes them wonder if maybe, just maybe, it’s worth trying again.
They don’t text out of impulse. They text because they still care — even if they’re not sure what that means yet.
Scorpio
Scorpio acts like they’ve moved on… but deep down, they remember everything.
This intense water sign is known for passion, loyalty, and emotional depth. When they love, they love hard. And even after a breakup, those emotions don’t just disappear. Scorpio may hold onto pain, questions, or unsaid things — and sometimes, that boils over into a surprise message.
Their text might be sweet. Or spicy. Or completely unpredictable. But one thing’s for sure — if Scorpio is texting their ex, they’ve been thinking about it for a while.
They don’t do anything without meaning. So when that message comes through, know there’s emotion behind it. Even if they act casual.
Final Thoughts
Some zodiac signs slam the door shut after a breakup. Others crack it open from time to time.
Cancer, Pisces, Libra, and Scorpio are the signs most likely to send that “I miss you” text. Whether it’s for closure, comfort, or a second chance, these signs follow their hearts — even if it leads them back to the past.
No judgment. Sometimes love takes a few detours.
