5 Zodiac Signs With Scars On Their Hearts

Heartbreak is practically an inevitable part of the human experience. It’s something we can all relate to, and it has inspired some of the greatest works of art. No zodiac is exempt from facing heartbreak, but some have more scars on their hearts than others. They give their hearts away, only to have them shattered over and over. But they are resilient, continuing to pick up the pieces and try again. Here are the zodiacs with the most wounded hearts, and how astrology explains their suffering in love.

Cancer

As a water sign, Cancers experience their feelings very intensely. They are sensitive, empathetic, and emotional. When they love someone, they love with their whole hearts. But, as the zodiac represented by the crab, Cancers learn over time to guard their hearts. Like a crab, they develop a tough outer shell to protect their soft emotional selves, because they’ve been hurt so many times in love. With every heartbreak, they either grow thicker shells that make it harder for them to form healthy romantic attachments, or they become so resilient that they no longer fear getting hurt. It’s up to them to decide how they will process their past relationships and move forward in romance. 

Virgo

Virgos are the “fixers” of the zodiac, and their relationships are no exception to this rule. As meticulous perfectionists, they tend to spot the red flags in potential partners quickly. Virgos have impossibly high standards, and may find themselves settling for someone they think they can change. But they have to learn the hard way that it’s impossible to control someone else. When the relationship ends, this zodiac may become resentful that they gave their partner a chance in the first place. Virgos have the best intentions and give so much of themselves in relationships – even when it comes off as nagging and criticism, they are only trying to help. If they maintain their standards instead of settling for someone with red flags they hope to change, they can spare themselves a lot of heartbreak. On the other hand, they can also work on being more accepting and letting go of the need to “fix” others.

Scorpio

Scorpio is guided by Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, transformation, and power. Due to Pluto’s influence, Scorpios often experience profound, painful changes to encourage their growth, including heartbreak. Scorpio also rules the eighth house, which is the house of merging, sex, and intimacy. Romantic love and everything that comes with it is of the utmost importance to this sensitive zodiac. But they may have to survive a great deal of heartbreak before they find their soulmate, the special person they can finally settle down and build a life with. Scorpio’s secondary ruling celestial body is Mars, the planet of war, action, and aggression. This means that, although Scorpios are sensitive and emotional water signs, they also have the fiery, passionate spirit of a fighter. No matter how many scars they have on their heart, they remain optimistic in love and keep searching until they find the right person. 

Capricorn

Capricorns tend to struggle with starting romantic relationships because they are so guarded. Emotional expression doesn’t come naturally to them, and they are secretly terrified of getting hurt. They also have very high standards for a partner and are unwilling to compromise. When they do find someone worthy of their affection and become comfortable enough to let their guard down, they are incredibly loving, generous, and protective. Since it’s so hard for them to find love, it’s all the more painful when they get their hearts broken. Learning to open themselves up and be vulnerable, instead of building even higher walls around their wounded heart, is crucial for this zodiac to find happiness in love.

Pisces

Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusion, and delusion. And, as a water sign, this zodiac is very sentimental and emotional. This combination of astrological traits tells us that Pisceans fantasize about a fairytale love, and they want it desperately. They tend to put their partners on a pedestal, ignoring red flags and creating an idealized version of their lover in their mind. When their partner inevitably proves who they really are and disappoints Pisces, it all comes crashing down. This pattern repeats itself over and over again, as Pisceans have open hearts and want to believe the best of their loved ones. But they never give up the search for their twin flame, despite the scars on their wounded hearts.
