The Breakup Style for Every Sign of the Zodiac

Everybody handles breakups differently. Some people dive into a pint of ice cream, while others hit the gym. Your breakup style, like so many of your personality quirks, can be explained by your Zodiac sign. What’s yours?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

To mask a broken heart, Aries will often charge right into a rebound fling. You’re a passionate Fire sign who loves the thrill of the chase–and hey, if your ex sees you on a hot date and gets jealous, that’s just a bonus.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus has a unique strategy for dealing with breakups. You have a tendency to redecorate your house, change your wardrobe, or get a dramatic haircut whenever you split with a significant other.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is one instance where Gemini’s short attention span comes in handy. You don’t dwell on the bad times because you’ve already moved on to something more interesting.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Breakups hit this sign of the Zodiac hard because you give so much of your heart in every relationship. You fall for someone completely–and then, when things don’t work out, you struggle to pick up the pieces.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Did someone say “makeover”? Leo knows that looking good is the best way to get over a bad breakup. New hair, new nails, new wardrobe–you need to pamper yourself to heal your broken heart and make your ex regret what they lost.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

When the breakup isn’t Virgo’s idea, it comes as a total blindside. You’re such a planner that this unexpected bump in the road throws everything off. You’ll flounder for a while until you can figure out a new plan–one that moves forward without your ex.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libra, you’re the Zodiac sign most likely to end up eating ice cream in bed while you listen to songs about broken hearts. It might be a cliche, but wallowing in your heartbreak for a couple of days actually seems to get it out of your system.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Honestly, Scorpio is usually the one doing the breaking up. You don’t like it when people get too clingy, and sometimes you just have to cut them loose. You’ll be fine, even if the other person will never totally get over it.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Although Sagittarius is usually shy of getting in long-term relationships, it happens. And when those relationships fizzle out, this sign that this Zodiac is usually ready to move on and enjoy being single for a while.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20)

Never cheat on a Capricorn. They will make it their life’s mission to get revenge, and they are very, very patient and determined. If you want to end a relationship with this sign of the Zodiac, appeal to logic and evidence, not emotions. It’ll go over much better.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Aquarius is the most likely sign of the Zodiac to ghost someone. You don’t love confrontation–especially not about your feelings. You’d rather just move on as if nothing happened.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Breakup? What breakup? Pisces goes into full denial mode when a relationship ends, refusing to deal with all those negative, confusing emotions. Needless to say, this is not a healthy way to process things.
