Expressing Affection to the Aries Ex
The Aries ex will be very suspicious of your affection, so it is best to strictly avoid such expressions and to keep things more objective. After two years or so, an occasional touch on the arm or pat on the back can develop into a brief hug. Although many Aries feel affection, they have trouble expressing or accepting it, preferring the extremes of cutting out physical contact completely or engaging in it without reserve. Wait for small signs of affection on their part, usually understated, and respond in kind.
Expressing Affection to the Taurus Ex
Affection and sensuality come so naturally to Tauruses that it is difficult to banish these from any relationship with a Taurus. Tauruses will, of course, be hurt when affection is withheld, and unless they thoroughly hate you, they will be grateful for an occasional kind word or warm expression of feeling. But once a two-year healing period has passed, it will be rare for them to want any more than that. Also, the affection they allow you to express to them, and that they express to you, will be of a different type and on a different level than before-more objective and stylized and less heartfelt or emotional.
Expressing Affection to the Gemini Ex
Here you must be careful not to give your Gemini ex the wrong idea. Thus it is best to abstain from direct expressions of affection until your breakup has been official for some months. Geminis are quick movers and have reactive personalities-both high-strung and nervous-so it is best to keep the situation as cool as possible. Affection can be less physical and better expressed through a tone of voice or gentle smile rather than a hug or even a touch of the hand. Gifts should be avoided since they may imply an obligation for the Gemini to give you something in return and, in turn, the impression that you are trying to buy your ex’s feelings.
Expressing Affection to the Cancer Ex
Only be the first to express affection if you can do it in an extremely tactful and subtle manner. Otherwise, let them make the first move. So finely tuned to feelings are Cancers that they will pick up on the slightest softness or warmth on your part, so no need to overdo it-which would most likely arouse an immediate negative response. Just listening to them and being sympathetic to their feelings will, in itself, be viewed as an expression of affection. Remain attentive enough that you do not miss the first affectionate gesture that comes from their direction. Missing it could be a serious blunder.
Expressing Affection to the Leo Ex
Leos certainly have a warm and affectionate side that responds to positive treatment. It is best for you to establish some trust, however, before you make any moves in that direction. Generally, long periods of time are necessary to heal Leos’ wounds, so for at least the first year it is best not to attempt to get too close to them emotionally. Any hint of a premature expression of affection could result in a setback and make this period of healing even longer. However, your patience will be rewarded eventually if you can just hang in there and wait.
Expressing Affection to the Virgo Ex
Rarely, if ever, should you take the lead in this activity. Although you may end up waiting a couple of years, it is best to wait for Virgo exes to make the first move in expressing affection. Appreciate even the slightest smile, lingering eye contact, or touch of the hand, and above all do not overreact to such overtures. As a matter of fact, you would do better to ignore them altogether. Your best approach may be to begin to express affection through writing, where your physical presence is not so strongly felt.
Expressing Affection to the Libra Ex
Libra exes frequently have no objection to sharing affection and even sex after a relationship is over. In doing so, they frequently ignore the feelings of the other person, who naturally looks upon Libra’s emotional expressions as being indicative of their openness to being reunited or a statement that the relationship is still ongoing. Libras are curious in that they can close the door and truly end a relationship, yet keep it alive for the other person. This sort of double standard frequently gets them in hot water and can make Libra exes the object of dislike, anger, or even hatred.
Expressing Affection to the Scorpio Ex
Scorpio exes may respond to your expressions of affection, but if this goes any further in a decidedly sexual direction, you may come to regret ever having started things in the first place. Remember that Scorpios regard the sexual arena as their own personal province, accompanied by a full knowledge of how to use these powers against you. It is therefore best to remain aloof, respectful, and objective when it comes to expressing any physical affection to Scorpio exes. A softened tone of voice or endearing glance may be the most that can be prudently allowed on both sides.
Expressing Affection to the Sagittarius Ex
You will probably face rejection should you decide to express affection openly to Sagittarius exes. However, should they be able to break their silence, and you see signs of their icy exterior beginning to thaw, you may take this as being preliminary to an expression of affection. Do not overreact. Should they gaze into your eyes or hold your hand, be aware that Sagittarius exes may just be testing you. They are also not above manipulating you with a display of emotion that they do not really feel but instinctively use as a controlling tactic, sometimes not even realizing they are doing it.
Expressing Affection to the Capricorn Ex
Any and all displays of affection should be avoided or kept strictly under control. Such expressions will be viewed with suspicion by Capricorn exes, who will be convinced that you are employing them as tactics to manipulate and control. Rather than expressing affection, it would be better to show your care and concern in other ways, notably by offering help if needed or just being ready to listen and take what Capricorn exes have to say seriously. Often the most considerate thing you can do, and the action that will earn you the highest points, is just to leave Capricorn exes alone.
Expressing Affection to the Aquarius Ex
This is usually out of the question. Again, if Aquarius exes wax affectionate it is usually because they want something, either physical or financial. This expression of affection may have a sexual overtone and be a direct lead-in to stirring up old emotions that could quickly find you in bed together. What could appear to be the rekindling of love’s flame unfortunately, in most cases, will prove to be just an isolated incident, and it is certainly advised that you keep it just that, no matter how enjoyable it was.
Expressing Affection to the Pisces Ex
Pisces generally respond to affection, but in the case of Pisces exes they are so suspicious of your motives that they will find it difficult or impossible to accept it. The best you can hope for is to build trust with them over years until they finally reach a point where they can allow you to make overtures of this sort. Likewise, do not expect them to express affection to you, and if they do you can be sure there is some wayward feeling, probably one of which they are unaware, that is prompting them to do so.
