Aries: Pros at Holding Onto the Past

People born with the Aries (March 20 - April 20) sign can't convince themselves to get over their exes. When going through a breakup, they don't take adequate space and time to grieve. And then, they tend to move on pretty quickly, which plays a crucial role in why they are unable to get over their exes.

Not processing your emotions hinders the ability to accept new changes, and Aries keeps trying to chase the past flame. They don't mind keeping their exes close as friends; in fact, they jump at the chance of getting in touch with their past lover—it can be anything: from grabbing a coffee together to going out for dinner or even a hookup.

If you are in love with this fire sign, you might need to be very careful. Aries people often overlook the fact that clinging to their past can affect their personal growth. Yet, they tend to go back to their past lovers. So if you are looking for a connection with someone who should be solely into you and you, Aries might not be the best choice out there.
