How You Heal Your Broken Heart, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

You don’t like to show signs of weakness, so when you’re brokenhearted, you distract yourself. You’re resilient and strong and by engaging in activities and experiences, heartbreak doesn’t last with you.

Taurus

After heartbreak, you take your time to heal. You do things for yourself and spend time with people who bring you joy and a sense of comfort. You’re all about indulgence, so you do some serious self-TLC.

Gemini

Geminis are social creatures. You might deal with heartbreak by talking to someone–anyone, really–about your feelings. You engage in social activities because that brings you joy and helps lift the pain a little bit.

Cancer

Cancers retreat into their shells after heartbreak. You’ll be sad for a long time and will express your emotions through creative outlets. You find healing through self-reflection, self-care, and spending time with loved ones.

Leo

Leos crave attention, so when you’re heartbroken, you will seek validation from other people, whether that’s friends gassing you up or strangers admiring you. Doing this boosts your confidence and makes the healing process easier.

Virgo

When you’re heartbroken, you lean into the analytical side of healing: you focus on work, establish a routine, and focus on your physical health. You cope by analyzing the breakup and learning from the experience of the relationship.

Libra

You seek balance and harmony in your relationships, so when you’re heartbroken, you feel off-balanced. You find healing through indulgence and self-care: meditation, going to a spa, getting a massage, and buying things you (probably) don’t need.

Scorpio

Scorpios are intense and passionate creatures, so when you’re going through heartbreak, you are going through it. You feel it all deeply, but you take that pain and use it for personal growth. And maybe you think of ways to get revenge, too…

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, you are always optimistic, but even so when you’re heartbroken. You cope with the pain by traveling and seeking new experiences. By focusing on your personal goals and hobbies, no amount of heartache can hold you back.

Capricorn

Capricorn, you’re the type to suppress your feelings. You’d rather channel your energy into your work or personal projects, rather than feel your feelings. It just works better for your disciplined brain that way!

Aquarius

Aquarians are independent beings who are more practical than emotional. You would rather distract yourself from your feelings by engaging in intellectual pursuits and volunteering for humanitarian causes. You want to ignore your heartbreak and dive into whatever you think your purpose is–that’s how you find healing.

Pisces

Pisceans are sensitive beings, so when you are heartbroken, you feel it deeply. You allow yourself to feel all your feelings and connect with your inner self through creative expressions. You spend time with family and friends for support, too.
