Aries: March 21st – April 19th

Your last relationship taught you that effort matters more than chemistry and attraction. Someone could make your heart race at twice its regular speed, but if that person is unwilling to meet you halfway, then they are unworthy of your love.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Your last relationship taught you that someone who is perfect for you on paper is not necessarily perfect for you in reality. Someone might cross off every item on your ‘forever person’ list but if the spark isn’t there, the relationship will never last.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

Your last relationship taught you that love is not an excuse to stay. You can love someone who is wrong for you. You can love someone who hurts you. You can love someone who no longer deserves a place in your life.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

Your last relationship taught you that you need some time alone before you are ready to commit to a serious relationship. You need to learn more about yourself. You need to work on loving yourself so that you don’t end up losing yourself when you find your person. You cannot keep making others your entire world.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

Your last relationship taught you it’s the little things that matter the most. The daily things. It’s important for your person to be there for you you all of the time, not only on holidays and anniversaries. Not only when they want sex or an accepted apology.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

Your last relationship taught you second chances are not always earned. Promises are not always kept. You have to pay close attention to a person’s actions to see if they match their words or if they are only bullshitting you.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

Your last relationship taught you not to act too nice because you will end up getting walked over. You have a habit of putting other people before yourself and that needs to end. You can still treat other people with kindness without overextending yourself and offering too much.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

Your last relationship taught you that letting go takes more courage than clinging to a broken relationship. Not everything is worth salvaging. Some people are meant to be a part of your past, not your future.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

Your last relationship taught you that it doesn’t matter how much time you have spent together, it matters how much you cared about each other. Your worst heartbreak could be from your shortest relationship — or from an almost relationship. Time has nothing to do with it.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

Your last relationship taught you that not everyone can be trusted. Not everyone deserves your blind faith. They have to earn it. They have to prove they are a good person before you take their word for it.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

Your last relationship taught you not to get too invested too soon. You are allowed to move at a slow pace. You are allowed to take one step at a time instead of rushing to move in together and get married. If you’re going to be together forever, then there is no time limit for reaching your milestones.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

Your last relationship taught you that you are stronger than you ever thought possible. You are going to come back from this heartbreak. You are going to love again. You are going to end up happier than you have ever been before. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
