These 3 Zodiac Signs Are The Best At Making Their Ex Jealous
They know how to win a breakup.

While some zodiac signs can quickly move on after a breakup, others stay salty and look for ways to make their ex as jealous as possible — and they’re really good at it. Even when they’re sleeping, their brain is busy dreaming up ways to stir the pot.
For many, making an ex jealous means posting steamy content on social media. Think mirror selfies after a workout, vacation pics in amazing locations, and clips from a fun night out with friends. These signs want to show off their fabulous life so that their ex knows how badly they fumbled.
Other members of the zodiac might make their ex jealous by dropping hints to mutual friends. A casual mention of a job promotion, a story of an upcoming move, and so on. They’ll plant seeds in their social circle and hope the stories find their way back to their ex’s ears.
For some zodiac signs, the need to make an ex jealous stems from a deep desire to win. If they were dumped, they’ll be even more likely to get petty as a way to come out on top. For others, it’s just a fun game to play — and maybe even a secret way to flirt. They love the idea of an ex checking in and seeing exactly what they’re missing, and maybe even sending a cheeky post-breakup DM.
Here, the three zodiac signs who are true masters when it comes to getting back at an ex.
Leo (July 22 - Aug. 21)
A Leo will never let an ex find peace, especially after a messy breakup. This fire sign will regularly take to social media to post photos and show off the goods. You won’t see any casual photo dumps or laidback selfies here.
When a Leo wants to make their ex jealous, they’ll only post photos where they look like a 10 out of 10. It often works like a charm and inspires them to do even more. A Leo will also book a whole vacation with their ex in mind. Did they always talk about going to Hawaii? Catch them on a plane to Oahu just to take a few pics.
To stir up an ex’s curiosity, a Leo will also lean on their strong social circle for backup. They’ll show just how much they’re loved by throwing parties, taking giant group selfies, and going on amazing girls’ trips. Their goal? To prove they aren’t lonely and are always out having fun.
Libra (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21)
Libras are pros when it comes to making an ex jealous. The moment a relationship ends, they’ll start to brainstorm ways to wriggle back into their ex’s brain. As an air sign, a lot of it goes down on social media. A Libra will post cute selfies on Close Friends and then sit back and wait for the DM.
This Venus-ruled sign will also lean into new love as a way to pull on their ex’s heartstrings. (Hint: It’s because they often want to get back together.) To make them extra jealous, they might insinuate they’re on a date, even when they aren’t, or wear their favorite outfit to a mutual friend’s party all in the name of flirting.
Where the Libra truly wins, however, is when they announce their next relationship. Instead of opting for a quiet soft-launch, they’ll do a loud hard-launch that shouts their love from the rooftops. Even if they’ve moved on emotionally, a Libra will always have the time and the energy for these types of shenanigans.
Scorpio (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20)
The Scorpio mind is crafty, and that means they’re good at personalizing the ways they make their ex jealous. As an intuitive water sign, and one who truly commits to their relationships, they know exactly what makes their old flame tick — and exactly what’ll get under their skin.
For some, that might mean going on a date a few days after the breakup and posting about it online or lingering at a busy bar, especially if they know their ex can still track their location. For others, it might mean going no contact and mysteriously disappearing into the ether forever.
Since Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, this sign will also lean into the post-breakup glow-up. A Scorpio will put a note on their mirror that says, “Living well is the best revenge,” and make it their mission to have a good day every day. They’ll never be caught looking sad after a breakup. Only happy, glowing, and healed.
