4 Zodiacs With Black Hole Hearts

Here are the four signs most likely to carry darkness within their hearts.

For a dark kaleidoscope of reasons known only to the cosmos, some zodiac signs have trouble letting go of trauma and heartache. To them, joy may feel like a feather, while sadness hits them like a hammer. Processing pain may be more difficult for such signs. They may become bitter or hold onto grudges longer than other signs do. Over time, they risk becoming wound collectors, gathering experiences of emotional pain like others collect seashells by the shore. They may count emotional scars like others count candles on their birthday cake.

1. Scorpio

Ruled by the dim, distant, and frozen dwarf planet Pluto, Scorpios are known for their intensity, secrecy, and potential for vengeance. These traits can give them a “black heart” reputation. This acidic disposition often stems from betrayal, loss, and emotional upheaval. They don’t easily forgive being wronged. If they feel betrayed, they usually carry the hurt and may become bitter, especially if they don’t find closure or forgiveness. Their emotional depth can make it difficult for them to let go of past traumas, which makes them struggle to forgive or forget deep-seated pain.

2. Capricorn

Governed by Saturn, this Earth sign has a strong sense of responsibility. They often carry a burden of early life challenges and may feel traumatized from being expected to mature too quickly. Known for their hard work and selfless dedication, Capricorns may grow bitter if they sense they’ve been taken advantage of or if they feel their devotion is unappreciated. They tend to remember instances where they felt overlooked or disrespected. They may feel undervalued, challenging them to endure pain with determination and resilience. While Capricorns might seem emotionally detached, they may only be suppressing their emotions. Over time, those unresolved feelings can lead to a leaden emotional weight they lug around inside them.

3. Cancer

Ruled by the Moon, which represents emotions and the subconscious, Cancer often holds on to heartbreak and finds it challenging to let go of the past. They feel pain acutely, especially when it involves loved ones. They are hurt when their kindness is not reciprocated, heightening their susceptibility to feeling neglected and abandoned. Known for their empathy, Cancers often absorb others’ feelings and hold onto emotional wounds long after the scar tissue has formed. Their desire for security and close emotional bonds can lead to a strong sense of loss when relationships suffer. While deeply emotional and caring, Cancers may seethe with anger if their kindness is taken for granted or if they experience repeated emotional injuries. They may withdraw and hold onto the pain, burning with resentment over past heartaches.

4. Virgo

As an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, Virgos tend to internalize and process pain mentally, sometimes carrying their trauma quietly and in private. They can be perfectionists, not only with themselves but with others. When people’s high expectations aren’t met or they feel undervalued, they can become bitter and grow critical or resentful. Virgos frequently face challenges with perfectionism and self-criticism. Their tendency to overthink and analyze situations can make them feel saddled by past mistakes or perceived flaws. Although Virgos are generally helpful, they can be harsh and judgmental. They tend to hold high standards for everyone, and if they feel wronged or betrayed, they can be merciless
