1. Aries
Aries tend to question everything, and this includes their relationships. “Aries is naturally skeptical, and that can lead to immediate doubt when trust is broken,” says astrologer Jasmine Hoover. Being a fire sign that governs the mind, Aries may dwell on what happened and find it hard to let it go mentally.
Even if you try to forgive, you may still feel lingering anger and frustration. Hoover notes that while Aries don’t typically hold grudges, they often carry emotional wounds for a long time. If you’re an Aries, be honest with yourself about whether forgiveness is truly possible for you.
2. Gemini
Some signs are content with a laid-back relationship, but Gemini usually wants strong emotional and mental commitment. “Gemini doesn’t waste time on anyone who isn’t fully invested in the relationship,” Dove shares.
If your partner cheats, you’re unlikely to overlook it. Geminis often process decisions through logic rather than emotion, so walking away may feel like the right choice. Just remember to give yourself space to feel and heal, even if your mind has already moved on.
3. Virgo
Virgos are often nurturing and try to fix everything, but infidelity can hit them especially hard. “When a Virgo experiences betrayal, they may immediately begin to blame themselves,” Hoover explains. They may wonder why they didn’t notice the signs or prevent it somehow.
This kind of thinking can lead to both self-doubt and resentment toward their partner. If you’re a Virgo, be sure to show yourself the same kindness and understanding that you usually give to others.
4. Scorpio
Scorpio is known for deep emotional intensity and a strong memory — especially when wronged. “Scorpios rarely forgive cheating, and they certainly don’t forget,” Dove says. Unlike signs that easily let things go, Scorpios often carry emotional weight long after the incident.
If you choose to continue the relationship, try to do so with an open heart. Scorpios may feel tempted to retaliate or make their partner suffer emotionally, but acting on those feelings may only prolong your own pain.
5. Aquarius
Aquarius isn’t quick to fall deeply in love, which is why cheating can feel especially devastating. “Aquarians can be emotionally reserved, but once they commit, they care deeply,” Dove explains. If someone breaks their trust, Aquarius can cut ties quickly and completely.
There’s no rule that says you must forgive someone who betrays your trust. For Aquarius, letting go of the relationship may feel like the healthiest decision, especially if staying would bring ongoing hurt.
