This Is How You’ll Get Over Your First Love, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
By Michael King
Aries
(March 21st to April 19th)
You have a tendency to dive deep into love, and your first love will be no exception. Moving on will seem impossible at first, but your life will start to change the moment you realize how free you are to build your own adventure. Travel to a new city, learn to play guitar –– everything will transform the day you realize all the magic exists within yourself.
Taurus
(April 20th to May 21st)
You are more passionate than most would see, as you have a tendency to be cautious and methodical in your decision-making. As such, healing from the loss of your first love will take time. Your path forward will be easiest if you simply grant yourself the patience to heal. One day, to your surprise, the passion burning quietly within you will ignite for someone new.
Gemini
(May 22nd to June 21st)
You are naturally drawn to variety and new experiences, so –– following the loss of your first love –– you may find yourself bouncing rapidly between new dates or love interests. Some people in your life may mistake this for you ‘moving on too fast,’ but finding new opportunities and stimuli fuels your way forward. Eventually, when you meet someone who can keep up, you’ll settle down.
Cancer
(June 22nd to July 22nd)
A nurturer at heart, the loss of your first love is likely to stick in your bones for some time. More than likely, you feel most at ease and relaxed when you are in a relationship, as it is natural for you to crave companionship. After your first love, however, you will need time to feel, to heal, and to let go. The nurturing you give so freely to others? Your key forward is giving it to yourself.
Leo
(July 23rd to August 22nd)
In every aspect of life, you are committed to ‘doing it big,’ bringing your full passion and energy to living the best life you can. The first time that love fails is, for you, both heartbreaking and a blow to the ego. More insecure than you seem, your way forward will be licking your wounds and regaining your confidence. Once you’re standing tall on your feet again, love will be pursuing you.
Virgo
(August 23rd to September 22nd)
You aren’t the sort of person who settles for anything less than the best, so the loss of your first love is likely to find you feeling hopeless. You will find your way forward, however, when you focus on the parts of your life that are working. Work, friendships, and hobbies may take center stage. With time, you’ll realize where your first love faltered, and you’ll be ready to revise your search and start again.
Libra
(September 23rd to October 22nd)
You are prone to indecisiveness, and the world after your first heartbreak will look like a chaotic array of options. All the well-intentioned advice from the people in your life may pull you in differing directions, and you may find yourself frozen in place. You will begin to move forward when you begin to trust your instincts, following your intuition and writing your own next chapter.
Scorpio
(October 23rd to November 22nd)
Most likely, you don’t think it’s ‘your style’ to be heartbroken, and so you will do your best to rebound from your first lost love as if nothing happened at all. Keeping yourself occupied with plans, parties, and new pursuits, you may try to outrun your feelings. It’s important to realize that your feelings will catch up to you, that you’ll need to mourn and roar and heal like everyone else, but your way forward will likely mean surrendering only brief moments to the healing.
Sagittarius
(November 23rd to December 21st)
You like to keep a positive outlook on things, and, though the loss of your first love may challenge that reflex, your sunny perspective will beckon your feet forward. It won’t take you long, for example, to think of the positive memories you shared with your lover, and all the pain and heartbreak won’t seem so big after all. You’ll find the beauty in the brokenness, and you’ll be ready to go on.
Capricorn
(December 22nd to January 20th)
As with most everything else, your means of processing heartbreak is by talking it through. Gather your closest friends and family, the ones who listen and ask you the questions you need to consider, and you’ll begin to untangle the knots that your lost love left behind. Once you’ve pulled those thread apart, you’ll be ready to move ahead.
Aquarius
(January 21st to February 18th)
Though you may like many people, you don’t fall in love easily, so moving on from your first love may take some time. Independent by nature, you will not feel comfortable feeling sad or stuck for too long, so it will be important for you to start reclaiming your life. Build a playlist of breakup anthems, make a decision or two you might have been hesitating about –– anything to get your feet moving again, your heart convinced you’re running the show.
Pisces
(February 19th to March 20th)
Your being contains multitudes of feeling, and the ripples of your emotions cycle far longer than people of any other type. Moving on from your first love will take time, and the journey will be emotional, reflective, and challenging. You know better than anyone: No one is the same after a heartbreak. Once you realize how you’ve been transformed, both for the worse and the better, you will begin to move on.
