Expert reveals how each star sign approaches and handles a break-up
An astrologer has revealed how each zodiac sign approaches and handles the end of a relationship.
Experiencing heartbreak knows no age limit – it’s a universal challenge.
The emotional rollercoaster, the nagging questions and the sting of rejection accompany the end of a relationship. In my twenties I ended an engagement and found myself in a rebound relationship that unexpectedly crushed my heart. If only I’d possessed the astrological insights I have today – it wouldn’t have taken away the pain, but it could’ve helped me make sense of it and potentially spot the red flags!
When delving into someone’s natal chart, specific planets unveil how they show up in a relationship or if they’re prone to abrupt endings. Mars reveals our sexual desires, Venus depicts how we express and receive love, and the Moon exposes our emotional needs. Additionally, our zodiac sign adds another layer to the puzzle, shedding light on how we’re likely to respond when faced with relationship challenges.
Aries are the strong-willed and direct fire signs of the zodiac. They’re honest and prefer to get straight to the point in an uncomplicated fashion. You’ll likely find closure with this zodiac sign as they’ll be willing to sit down and confront the issue head-on. However, self-control and thoughtlessness are their problem areas, which could lead to a brutally honest discussion and hurt feelings in the process.
Taurus are the grounded and intentional earth signs of the zodiac. They’re calm, patient and incredibly practical, especially in the realm of relationships. They’re known to be the most enduring sign of the zodiac so they’ll likely explore every avenue before choosing to call it quits. Their problem areas are apathy and jealousy, which could lead them to avoid letting go of the relationship, even when it’s past its expiry date.
Geminis are the fun and flirty air signs of the zodiac. They’re curious in nature and seek intellectual stimulation from their lovers. However, this zodiac sign can be hard to gain closure from, as they’re known to be detached or avoidant if the relationship has lost its spark. Don’t be surprised if you have to initiate the conversation and then you’ll likely be met with an over explanation of everything that’s gone wrong, or silence because they’re keen to flee the situation altogether.
Cancers are the protective and romantic water signs of the zodiac. They’re empathetic and caring and likely to be concerned with your feelings as much as their own. They’re known for their sympathetic nature, but their problem area is ‘wishful thinking,’ which could leave them hanging on to the relationship in hopes that if they only devoted themselves more, your partnership will turn a corner. Empathetic communication will be at the heart of this split.
Leos are the charismatic and proud fire signs of the zodiac. They exude magnetism from the outset of the relationship but will just as easily invoke drama if things aren’t going their way. They’re not the most subtle of zodiac signs and their problem area is selfishness. If you’ve lost their interest, they’ll look elsewhere, not wanting to waste their time. Don’t be surprised if someone alerts you to the fact that their dating profile has been reactivated when you haven’t even had time to process the breakup.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos are the analytical and thoughtful earth signs of the zodiac. They’re practical and reliable in nature, preferring to approach a relationship breakdown in a clinical way. You’ll not only get closure with this zodiac sign, but you’re also likely to receive a pros and cons list of everything that worked in the partnership versus what didn’t. This can be sobering for some and confronting for others, but you’ll likely walk away from this breakup with a clear idea of what you want in your next one and what you don’t!
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libras are the diplomatic and harmonious air signs of the zodiac. They’re known for their peacemaking abilities and expressing their thoughts in an intentional way. However, they can become avoidant when they’re backed into a corner and confronted, as evading conflict is their problem area. This can lead to a breakup with more questions than answers, as they’re likely to provide you with half-hearted answers as to why the relationship came to an end. The good news is they’ll likely want to remain as friends.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios are the passionate and intense water signs of the zodiac. They’re known for their secrecy and observant nature, being the most mysterious sign of the zodiac. Their problem area is that they’re known as ‘the destroyer,’ burning anything in their path that’s broken them down or broken their trust. They’ll need closure and they’ll likely relentlessly pursue it. But don’t be surprised if, once they get it, they leave you on “read” or block you on every platform, as they’d rather move on without knowing you exist.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarians are the free-spirited and optimistic fire signs of the zodiac. They know how to show you a good time, as they prefer to flood their life with unforgettable adventures. Their problem areas are that they’re not the most humble of zodiac signs, and given the opportunity they can be self-righteous. So, if you’ve tried to tie them down, they’ll have no qualms about telling you how they feel, get up, and leave in search of greener pastures.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorns are the strategic and ambitious earth signs of the zodiac. They’re responsible and dependable, always approaching life in a matter-of-fact way. If the relationship isn’t working and they can’t see how you’ll build a life together in the future, they’ll likely initiate a conversation so you know where you both stand. Their problem areas are an inconsiderate or ice-cold approach, so don’t be surprised if they prefer to put some distance between you as soon as you’ve broken up.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarians are the forward-thinking and innovative air signs of the zodiac. They’re known for their independent nature and preference towards non-traditional relationships. If there’s one zodiac sign that’s likely to go completely MIA, this is it! They can be distant and avoidant, especially if their relationship has moved past the honeymoon phase, as their problem area is fearing deep feelings. You’ll know if your connection is heading into this territory as you’ll spot them gradually backing away.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces are the compassionate and selfless water signs of the zodiac. They’re the one zodiac sign that will throw everything at a relationship so they can actualise their ultimate fairytale. Their problem areas are their boundaries and limits, which can lead them to being oversensitive and highly vulnerable, especially during a tough conversation. They’ll need lots of time to process their emotions and heal their heart before they’ll even start thinking it’s time to move on.
