Ever found yourself texting your ex at midnight, telling yourself it’s just “for closure”? Yeah… sure. Whether it’s loneliness, nostalgia, or straight-up lust, most of us have danced with the idea of reuniting with an old flame. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s magical. And sometimes… it’s just astrology.
Because believe it or not, your zodiac sign says a lot about how likely you are to fall back into familiar arms (and sheets). Some signs are stone-cold when it comes to breakups—block, delete, gone. Others? They’re already halfway to their ex’s house, blasting a sad playlist and convincing themselves it’s destiny.
This isn’t about judgment—we’re not here to shame anyone for sliding back into something comfortable. After all, love doesn’t come with a rulebook. But if you’re curious about which signs are most likely to dive back in where they once swore they’d never go again… the stars have some juicy insights.
So, who are the zodiac signs most likely to sleep with their ex? Let’s count down the four signs who just might give in to temptation—again.
1. Cancer – The Soft-Hearted Seducer
Cancers are emotional time travelers. One whiff of an old scent, a random memory, or a love song from two years ago, and they’re right back in that past relationship—tears and all. This water sign is ruled by the Moon, so they’re naturally sentimental, nostalgic, and deeply connected to their emotional past.
Sleeping with an ex isn’t about lust for Cancer—it’s about comfort. The familiar touch, the safe space, the way their ex knew exactly how to calm their anxious heart… it’s all too tempting. Even if they know it’s not going anywhere, Cancers often find themselves reaching back for the emotional security they once had.
They’re also big on forgiveness. It’s not that they forget how things went down, but they’re willing to believe in second chances (and third… and fourth). The emotional tie doesn’t just go away for a Cancer. Their hearts are sticky.
So when that “I miss you” text pops up on their phone? Cancer might not just answer—they might already be on their way over in cozy pajamas, telling themselves it’s just for closure (again).
Warning: If you’re the ex of a Cancer, don’t play with their feelings. They fall back hard, and it’s never casual for them—even if they try to act like it is.
2. Taurus – The Pleasure-Seeking Creature of Habit
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, which means this sign lives for physical connection, sensuality, and anything that feels good. And when it comes to exes? Well, if it was good once, it might still be good now.
Taureans are creatures of habit. They don’t love change, and starting over with someone new can feel like way too much work. So instead of downloading dating apps or going through awkward first dates, they’ll often go back to the one person who already knows their body, their routines, and their weird little habits.
Even if the relationship ended badly, if the physical chemistry was fire, Taurus will consider it again. They’re stubborn, yes, but also deeply sensual—and a little bit indulgent. That “just one more night” mindset can turn into a recurring pattern if they’re not careful.
And let’s not forget their secret romantic side. Taurus might act chill, but deep down they’re always hoping things could still work out. Sleeping with an ex might feel like a step toward rekindling the flame, even if it’s clearly a bad idea.
Hot tip: If you’re a Taurus, make sure you’re not mistaking comfort for love. Sometimes your body misses someone your heart is done with.
3. Gemini – The Curious Chaos-Lover
Gemini might not plan to sleep with their ex… but it sure can happen anyway. This sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and spontaneity, so when they get bored or emotionally restless, an ex can suddenly feel exciting again.
They’re naturally flirty and curious, so if an ex pops up in their DMs with a cheeky message or some nostalgic banter, Gemini lives for that drama. They’ll respond with playful emojis and a sarcastic “miss me?” — but next thing you know, they’re in an Uber at 2 a.m.
For Geminis, it’s not always deep. Sometimes it’s about fun, chaos, or just a break from boredom. They’re not always looking for emotional closure or rekindling romance—they just want to feel something. And what’s more thrilling than forbidden ex-sex?
That said, Geminis can get tangled in their own feelings without realizing it. They’ll swear it was “just for fun,” but a few late-night meetups can leave them spinning in their own confusion.
Advice for Geminis: Keep your heart in check. If you don’t actually want them back, make sure your actions aren’t writing checks your emotions can’t cash.
4. Scorpio – The Intense and Unfinished Lover
Scorpios don’t do casual. Even if they say they’re detached, even if they’re acting like they’ve moved on, there’s usually still an emotional current pulling at them beneath the surface. Ruled by Pluto and Mars, this sign is passionate, obsessive, and deeply sexual—so when it comes to exes, unfinished business can get real messy.
For Scorpio, the connection never fully dies. If the breakup left questions, lingering chemistry, or unresolved hurt, they might return just to feel something intense again. And let’s be honest—they’re often the best ex you’ve ever had in bed, which makes it really hard to say no when they show up again.
There’s also a dark allure to ex-lovers for Scorpio. They’re drawn to mystery, shadows, and emotional depth—so if they’re still dreaming about an ex or stalking their socials, that’s not just nostalgia. It’s Scorpio magic pulling the past into the present.
Their physical connection is sacred and powerful, even if the relationship was toxic. So yeah, a Scorpio might crawl back under the covers—but trust, it’ll be unforgettable.
Important note: Scorpios, don’t let lust override your healing. Sometimes the best way to win is not to revisit the battlefield.
Closure… or Just One More Time
Let’s be real: we’ve all been tempted to go back to someone who once made us feel seen, sexy, or safe. The stars don’t control us, but they definitely influence how we love, how we let go, and how likely we are to say “screw it” and go for round two.
If you’re one of these signs, don’t beat yourself up. It doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human. But if you’re going back to the past, make sure you’re doing it with eyes wide open, not just rose-colored glasses and good memories.
Sometimes closure comes in a messy package. Other times, it comes from knowing your worth and finally walking away… no matter how good it used to feel.
