There will be times when your partner or friend becomes unreachable, both literally and figuratively. For example, you may not be able to reach them by phone or text and they may not be reading your messages for a while. Or maybe they don’t talk to you for whatever reason and give you the silent treatment, which is disturbing. That’s their way of showing that they’re not happy with you.
If you also think about it, there are also times when you become silent and no one can reach you – or you give others the silent treatment. You have your reasons for that, and maybe your horoscope is behind it. What does it mean when you get quiet based on your zodiac sign?
Aries – Lots of pre-verbal anger
Aries, you have one of the most direct signs, which is why it’s terrible news if you go quiet. It’s terrible news for the person you’re ignoring. There’s a storm raging inside you and you’re about to explode. Most of the time, though, you’ll explode anyway and won’t calm down at first. That means if you become silent; maybe you’re trying to process the anger before letting it go.
That means you’re probably keeping quiet about someone special to you because you don’t want to risk losing him or her. Or maybe you experience this when you are angry with your boss. But you want to tone it down because you don’t want to risk losing your job. You’ll still give them an earful, though. It just won’t be as serious since you’ve dealt with it a bit.
Taurus – Too stubborn to discuss the issue
Taurus, you know that you are quite stubborn and very opinionated. You are also not the type who wants to endure conflict because it stresses you out. Therefore, if you are angry with someone, you will remain silent, and you will worry him or her by remaining silent. Moreover, you usually remain silent when you are forced to do something you do not want to do and by remaining silent you express your disapproval of that. It may not change the outcome, but it will let the person making these demands of you know that you are not happy with them. That’s the main reason why you would give them the silent treatment.
That means deliberately ignoring their calls and texts and showing that you have read their text messages without responding to them. Therefore, they know that you are receiving their messages and they know that you are ignoring them on purpose.
Gemini – Lost interest
Gemini, you love meeting new people and you are very social with your friends. However, there is a problem. You can lose interest in someone very quickly if you find someone else or something else to replace him or her. When that happens, and when you get bored with that person, you become silent. It starts with you making excuses for why you can’t be reached on the day they want to get together. But it will escalate to you ignoring their calls and texts. It has nothing to do with you being angry. You just don’t care about talking to them or having anything to do with them anymore. That also means there’s a good chance you’ll ghost someone if you lose interest in them.
Cancer – it stays silent when you hurt their feelings or bash their loved ones
Cancer, you know how emotional you are, and you will also go to the ends of the earth to protect your home, your family and your loved ones. However, you have a passive-aggressive side. And that means that if someone hurts your feelings, you will be quiet until you are ready to explode. This means that if you go quiet after someone says something that you find hurtful (whether it was intended or not), he or she should be concerned.
That means your wrath is on its way. The same goes for anyone who says something hurtful about those you love. You will never tolerate any of it. You will never warn someone that it is a bad sign if you remain silent because you would rather they find out the hard way. They’ll never do it that way again.
Leo – Stays silent when they don’t get the attention they want
Leo, you know you want to be the center of attention and you need constant attention. And there are people whose attention you would rather have than others. Therefore, if you notice that the one person you are interested in does not pay much attention to you, you will be angry. And the way you express your anger in this regard is not by chewing it away. You give them the silent treatment instead.
You do that because you want them to crawl to you, because no one likes to get silent treatments. If they don’t crawl back to you, you’ll ghost them. You block their contact information and promise never to talk to them again.
Virgo – For breaking the rules
Virgo, you’re not the type to get the silent treatment. When you are angry with someone, you want to talk it out to reach an agreement. However, you also have your own rules when it comes to relationships and friendships. For example, you don’t want to be the one to contact your partner or friend all the time. If you feel like you’re putting more effort into the relationship than they are, give them the silent treatment and scare them. But you give them enough chances before you take that drastic step. But when enough is enough, you cut them off and become unreachable.
Libra – Sense of balance is off
Libra, you want balance and you want peace. Therefore, you will never like to deal with conflict because it affects your sense of balance. But here’s the thing. The lack of conflict when it comes to an issue that needs to be resolved with someone will create inner imbalances. And you will start to feel it. For example, if you are angry at someone, you will passive-aggressively give the silent treatment. However, you are more likely to remain silent than to make sarcastic comments because the imbalances you feel inside make you want to be speechless. However, if you notice that someone is angry with you and does not say anything, you also become silent. That also creates imbalances within.
Scorpio – They are extremely hurt
Scorpio, you are quiet because you are mysterious and secretive. And someone is hurting you in not the worst possible ways; you will not be silent before them. Instead, you will be sarcastic and mean to them. However, if someone hurts you so deeply that he or she has betrayed you, you will become silent and not want to talk to him or her at all. So your silence may be happening for some reason. Either you are plotting revenge and you don’t want to talk to that person, or you are ready to ghost him, and talking to him would be too painful. Talking to them after betrayal is too painful. So it’s better not to say anything to them.
Sagittarius – Feels like a partner or friend can no longer offer them anything
Sagittarius, you are cheerful and cheerful. It is rare that you are angry with someone because you do not like to hold a grudge. However, if someone upsets you, you will express your anger, be blunt about it, and then let it go. That’s why you don’t give anyone the silent treatment when you’re mad at him or her. Instead, you will become silent for other reasons. If your partner or friend no longer has anything to offer you, don’t say anything to them anymore. And usually you shut up right before you ghost them. So if you stop talking to someone, chances are they’re worried that you won’t be in their life anymore. If they approach you, you can respond to them or not. It all depends on whether you think anything can be saved or not.
Capricorn – When they feel like their time is being wasted
Capricorn, you don’t want anything to hold you back from your ambitions and work, and that’s why you’ll spend a lot of time working on them. Therefore, your time is valuable. You don’t want anyone to waste it. And when you feel like someone is wasting your time, you stay silent because you’re too angry to say anything. You do this because you want to lose your temper. For example, if you have a family member who drags you away from your important work day because he or she went to an appointment and refuses to take an Uber, you would be super angry and give him or her the silent treatment on the way there and on the way back.
Aquarius – When they feel trapped
Aquarius, you are very independent and you don’t want anyone to stand in the way of your freedom. You know you have some responsibilities, and you don’t mind them as long as they don’t disrupt your life too much. However, when it comes to someone who is clingy, you can’t handle it and you become quiet. That’s your way of showing that you resent their clinginess.
For example, if you were to take on a job as a caregiver, you would often receive the silent treatment because it hinders your freedom. Such a situation would be an absolute nightmare for you.
Pisces – when called
Pisces, you are kind and gentle, but you also don’t like to face reality. And if someone calls you out because you weren’t honest or because you weren’t paying attention to something important, you won’t feel good about it. You’re not the type to want to confront someone like Libra, which is why you’ll go quiet when someone calls you out. You will sulk and not want to talk to anyone. You can remain silent for a while until you are ready to speak again. However, if someone tries to talk to you while you’re giving the silent treatment, stay away from them and withdraw.
Does all this appeal to you at all? If. Then you will see that you are not alone, because everyone remains silent when they are upset for some reason. Maybe your reason for staying silent resonates more with your moon sign than your sun sign because that’s purely an emotional response. If someone goes quiet with you, and if you know his moon sign, you will have an idea why he does that. The best thing you can do is give them a chance to process their feelings, and when they are ready to talk to you, they will.
