The Secret To Getting Over A Breakup, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

You immerse yourself in your work, your studies or other activities that you enjoy to distract yourself. You’re very broad-minded and you know that a breakup is not the end of the world — if anything, it makes you want to explore what the world has to offer and meet new like-minded people.

Taurus

(April 20th to May 21st)

You remember who you were before the relationship and the amazing life you had. You realize that you don’t need anyone in your life to make you feel better or complete you. You’re already strong and you know that you can survive without anyone and that mentality helps you get over your breakup faster.

Gemini

(May 22nd to June 21st)

You lean on your friends because you have many friends who love you for who you are and remind you of your special and unique qualities. You resort to them when you’re brokenhearted and they seem to know exactly what to do to heal you.

Cancer

(June 22nd to July 22nd)

You isolate yourself from everyone so you can deal with your emotions without any external interruptions because being around people makes you feel worse. It takes you some time to get over your pain but you come out of it stronger because you took your time to process it and move on. Your solitude, in this case, makes you feel better, not worse.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

You remember that you have a list of admirers waiting for you to be single again. You know that if you want attention, you’ll know how to get it and knowing that that you are wanted and loved by many helps you get over your breakup because you’ll likely be in another relationship shortly after anyway.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

You’re self-sufficient and you love yourself. This mentality propels you to let things go and move on because you have faith that you’re meant for someone better. You’re very practical and logical and you believe things end because they weren’t meant to be and they weren’t right so you don’t fret much about the past because you know the best is yet to come.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

You’re just comfortable with being uncomfortable. It may take you longer to move on but it doesn’t really stop you from living your life. You still go out with your friends, do well at work and resume your daily activities as if nothing happened until you truly forget about it.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 22nd)

You never fully move on because you have a habit of going back to your exes or your old lovers. So when one relationship ends, you go back to the previous one and you keep repeating the same cycle. However, you’re very charismatic and you know how to get people attached to you very quickly, all you have to be is put yourself in a new setting with new people and you will probably meet so many people you’re interested in and forget about your past if you choose not to be stubborn about it.

Sagittarius

(November 23rd to December 21st)

You run away —literally. You either travel, disconnect from social media or just disappear until you heal on your own. You have to be around things that don’t remind you of your ex so you can fully move on and detach from all the memories.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 20th)

You focus on your family and the people in your life who need you. You fill that void with things that serve the community or a new charity project because you feel better when you have things to ‘fix.’ So you try to sign up for things that you can help improve to forget about your pain and find solace in something more meaningful.

Aquarius

(January 21st to February 18th)

You heal with art. Either art you produce or art you appreciate. You heal through writing, music, painting or just letting out the pain in an artistic way. You’re also a spiritualist, so you try to find the lesson behind your pain and you try to accept that there’s a bigger purpose awaiting you and soon you’ll find it if you haven’t already.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

You remember how much you love your freedom so even if you were upset about your breakup, part of you is relieved because now you get to do whatever the hell you want without having to worry about someone else and nothing makes you happier than just being solo, free and not obliged to do anything.
