How Each of the 12 Zodiac Signs Heals After Being Hurt

Everyone has experienced sad times and has been hurt. What should we do when we're hurt? How do we cope? Let's explore how the twelve zodiac signs manage their feelings and heal when they're hurt.

Aries (Ruling Planet: Mars)  

Aries will cry when they are hurt!

Aries individuals are known for being impulsive, adventurous, generous, and fearless. While they may seem strong and decisive on the outside, they're actually quite sensitive inside. When hurt, their vulnerability shows, leading them to cry openly. Crying serves as an emotional release. Despite appearing carefree, they recover quickly after letting their emotions out and soon return to their usual spirited selves.

Taurus (Ruling Planet: Venus)

Taurus will ignore others when they are hurt!

For Taurus, this response is quite typical. Known for their calm demeanor and love for stability, they might not react dramatically when hurt. Instead, they prefer to retreat and quietly nurse their wounds. Stubborn by nature, Taurus believes the best way to heal is by withdrawing and waiting patiently for time to mend their wounds.

Gemini (Ruling Planet: Mercury)

Gemini will distract themselves when they are hurt!

Ruled by Mercury, Geminis exhibit a fluid, ever-changing nature. Capturing their essence in a single word is challenging, as their moods shift rapidly. Recognizing their strengths, they seek entertainment and joy to elevate their spirits. This isn't avoidance, but rather a form of healing. Before long, they recover, almost as if they've forgotten their pain.

Cancer (Ruling Planet: Moon)

Cancers will choose to watch a movie when they are hurt!

Cancers, who are known for their tough exterior and tender interior, handle pain differently than Aries. While Aries might seem carefree, Cancers are more sensitive and prone to quiet suffering. Watching a movie provides a safe retreat where they can shed tears in the darkness, finding solace in witnessing others' stories unfold.

Leo (Ruling Planet: Sun)

Leos will seek someone to vent to when they are hurt!

Leos, influenced by the Sun, exude regal charm, authority, and generosity, with a strong need for control. Despite this, they conceal a sensitive and proud nature. When hurt, they may boldly turn to someone to express their frustrations. This venting can take many forms, so those close to a Leo should be ready for anything!

Virgo (Ruling Planet: Mercury)

Virgos will give others the cold shoulder when they are hurt!

Typically meticulous and a perfectionist, Virgos may surprise by becoming distant when hurt. Their silence often stems from insecurity and being unsure of how to heal. Unable to articulate their emotions, they are frequently misunderstood. Support from family and friends is crucial in helping them navigate through difficult times.

Libra (Ruling Planet: Venus)

Libras will gather with friends when they are hurt!

Guided by Venus, Libras value stability. When hurt, they avoid impulsive reactions, preferring instead to gather with trusted friends. Engaging with others offers comfort, and while they might not express their distress, they enjoy the companionship. Known for their communicative abilities, Libras don't isolate themselves in silence.

Scorpio (Ruling Planet: Pluto, Mars)

Scorpios might pick up the phone and vent their feelings!

Scorpios are driven by the pursuit of satisfaction and happiness, striving toward their goals. Though not typically outspoken about their feelings, when a Scorpio chooses to share their troubles, it's important to listen attentively and offer support. This gesture can make them feel acknowledged and understood.

Sagittarius (Ruling Planet: Jupiter)

If Sagittarius is hurt, they might choose to travel to escape their pain.

As natural explorers, Sagittarians have a strong affinity for travel and new adventures. It's no wonder that when they're hurt, they opt to escape their sorrow by visiting new places, meeting new people, and engaging in thrilling activities to facilitate their healing process.

Capricorn (Ruling Planet: Saturn)

When hurt, they will avoid and hide away!

Capricorns, known for being responsible, modest, and diligent, also carry a significant sense of duty and insecurity. This makes trusting others difficult. When they are hurt, they often withdraw and conceal their feelings, convinced that no one else can truly mend their emotional wounds.

Aquarius (Ruling Planet: Uranus)  

Aquarians will choose to spend time with family, which may come as a surprise!

While Aquarians are sociable and value their privacy, they can seem distant with their family. However, when feeling hurt, they often turn to family, viewing home as a sanctuary for comfort and support. This decision prompts reflection on their relationships, and ideally, Aquarians should appreciate their family before they're hurt.

Pisces (Ruling Planet: Neptune)

How do Pisces react when hurt? Interestingly, gentle Pisces don't typically cry; they mask their feelings as if nothing's amiss. While many associate Pisces with tears due to their water sign, they prefer concealing their pain to avoid troubling loved ones. Their displayed strength is deceptive, as healing can take time. Tender-hearted Pisces might benefit from expressing themselves or finding other outlets, as this could offer unexpected relief.
