How You Deal With Heartbreak (Based On Your Zodiac Sign)

Do you ever wonder about how intricate our thought process is toward certain moments in our lives?

We all react differently to various things, but breakups are one thing that will most likely bring out the worst in most. We often wonder about what will trigger certain emotions, or what will happen after we react. 

Well, there is one thing I do know and, that is that when a couple breaks up it’s usually because they don’t feel the same way about each other anymore. Or they’re just bored. 

How you deal with heartbreak may be much different from how another person deals with it. Heartbreak can come in many variations, but really, the bigger picture we never pay attention to is the aftermath of everything. It may feel deathly with a hint of loneliness at first, but suddenly you may feel freedom — and as confusing as that may be, ultimately you're going to come out the other side of this in one piece.

So don’t mope around and wait for some otherworldly Prince Charming to pick you up off your feet and surprise you with a gross amount of flowers or chocolates or gentle words only spoken in rom-coms. Stand up for yourself and deal with whatever heartbreak problems you’re going through, and you’ll be just fine.

And what if you really don’t know how to deal with it? (At least not yet?) 

Haven’t you ever wanted to know firsthand how you’d deal with some of the hardest parts of your life? Or how your SO would deal with it? It’s only a mystery if you let it be, but luckily for some of us, we rely more on zodiac signs to foresee what is ahead rather than waiting on what’s unknowingly going to slap us in the face.

1Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Heartbreak for an Aries is basically, sort of easy. Independent and full of life, you can push through a heartbreak much more smoothly than others who really learned to depend (too much) on the relationship. And although you love deeply, you can switch up at any given moment. You'll be fine, and you know it.

2Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

A Taurus going through a heartbreak could result in some serious issues. As independent as you are, you tend to ease into the cracks of a final boiling point when given. Stubborn, but loyal to yourself, you can easily never talk again to that person who broke your heart (oh well).

3Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

A Gemini dealing with heartbreak? It definitely wasn't your ideal plan, as you're usually one for picking up the pieces and trying to fix the relationship, but when it does happen ... you are as lost as a deer in headlights.

It can be really hard for a Gemini to find their way back to solid ground, so leaning on someone else for support in the meantime may be just what you need.

4Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancers are known for feeling multiple things at once. They always open their heart and ache for a little TLC, so when heartbroken, that ache only gets worse. If this is you, you won't know what to do or how to deal with it. It'll get better, though ... with time.

5Leo (July 23 - August 22)

As loving as a Leos can be, you deal with breakups easier than most because of how intense your ego is. Your strong-willed ego overshadows your pain so in the end, so in the end, you're going be okay. You won't show your hurt, and you'll be determined to work through.

7Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras are a great listeners and very different from other signs — you deal with heartbreak in a much stranger fashion because of how indecisive you are. At one point you might be devastated and keep yourself shut away from the rest of the world, and then suddenly you will be up and at 'em like nothing ever happened. But inside you'll always be thinking about what "could have" been. Don't torture yourself.

There really is no such thing as heartbreak for a Scorpio because of how carefree you are. Private about your lifestyle, a Scorpio is able to cope with heartbreak by not even thinking about it. Or by yelling at it. Either way ... OVER it.

12Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces can be very emotional, so when you go through a breakup, it's a waterworks show (maybe even if it's just in your own bedroom with no one around). It'll stay with you forever and you'll be changed with every heartbreak, because ultimately, it's become a part of you.
