4 Zodiacs Who Line Up Their Next Love Before Breakups

Have you ever heard of “monkey branching”? It’s a cute little term for when someone actively seeks out a new partner while still in a committed relationship.

They “swing” from one relationship to the next without having fully let go of the first one, like how a monkey maneuvers from branch to branch. The term might be cute, but the behavior is very ugly – it’s a form of infidelity and manipulation. Some zodiacs are more likely than others to monkey branch, although their reasons differ. Here are the four star signs who line up their next love before breakups, and how astrology explains their behavior.

Aries

Aries people monkey branch in relationships because they get bored easily and are always looking for the next best thing. Aries is an impulsive, fast-moving, and courageous zodiac – when they see someone they’re attracted to, they approach them and make their intentions known. It can feel exhilarating to be the center of Aries’ attention because they’re so intense and aggressive. They’ll be obsessed with you – until someone else catches their eye. You see, Aries is a highly competitive sign, so they’re always on the lookout for something (or someone) “better,” however they define it. When someone new intrigues them, they’ll flirt with that person and explore the possibility of dating them even while they’re in a committed relationship. It’s not that Aries people dislike being single; in fact, they’re very independent and thrive on their own. It’s just that they can be reckless with people’s hearts, and they lose interest just as quickly as they enter relationships.

Gemini

Geminis monkeys branch in love because they are so dynamic and indecisive. Gemini people are constantly shifting – they are the chameleons of the zodiac, always changing their minds, jobs, living situations, etc. While some zodiacs hate change, Geminis embrace it and thrive on shaking up their routine. They also have complex personalities, and they’re very curious and energetic – so they’re eager to explore all of their parts and interests. This means that they can become restless and dissatisfied in relationships because they want to try on a different partner/personality/lifestyle. Geminis are also very social, outgoing, and charming, so it’s very easy for them to form new connections. They have plenty of options when it comes to finding someone to tempt them. When they feel excited about the possibilities and fresh feelings a new connection offers, they will latch onto that person while still in a committed relationship.

Cancer

Cancers monkey branch in relationships because the only thing they hate more than being single is dating. This zodiac craves comfort and stability in relationships, so they’ll stay in a bad situation far longer than they should because it’s familiar. They will never break up with even the worst partner – unless they have someone new lined up already. Cancers don’t like being alone, but they also hate the early “getting to know you” stage of relationships. They want a deep emotional connection right away, so it makes sense for them to cultivate a new connection while still in a committed relationship. Once they trust the new person and feel certain they will be together, then, and only then, will they feel comfortable breaking up with their current partner. 

Libra

Libras money branch in love because they can’t make up their minds and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. They hate being single, and they also hate confrontation – the perfect recipe for never breaking up with a partner, no matter how toxic or stagnant the relationship becomes. The only way it makes sense for them to dump their partner is if they already have someone new lined up – that way, they might be letting down their current partner, but they’re making the new person (and themselves) happy. And they’re so friendly and welcoming that it’s easy for this zodiac to find someone new; they just hate the part of being single in between relationships and the painful awkwardness of initiating a breakup. They always find someone new before ending their current relationships because it makes the breakup easier for them, and they never have to spend time alone.
