How to Get Through a Breakup, Based on Your Element
Air Signs: Aquarius, Libra, Gemini
Social networking is going to be the key to your success when it comes to love Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini.
It’s time to get out of your comfort zones, and mingle, even if you are just on the heels of a breakup. You don’t need to head out with the intention to find your soul mate but head out into the crowds with the intention of feeling better and having fun instead.
Surrounding yourself with others, especially people that care about you and want to see you happy, is exactly what you need right now. Air signs are very playful and optimistic, so use these strengths to your advantage when navigating a tough-love situation.
Remember, staying in isn’t going to fix your sorrows. Get out there and use your fantastic communication skills to show the world just how awesome you are. Your new beginning is waiting!
Air Sign Strengths:
- Playful
- Optimistic
- Humanitarian
Water Signs: Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Water signs, oh Water Signs. Our dear Scorpios, Pisces, and Cancers, are the ones that feel the most wounded, attacked, and rejected in the line of a breakup fire. Even if they are the ones doing the breaking up!
This can be a sensitive bunch, and if you fall into this category, then you know what we’re talking about. You will be tempted to retreat to your caves and your shells with your proverbial boxes of tissues, and spend your days wallowing through chocolate and movies that are horribly wrong for you.
This is actually not a bad idea, and you won’t feel “normal” if you don’t engage in your standard breakup routine. But this plan is not going to help you create the new beginnings you want if you stick to it forever. It’s time to romance yourself, Water signs!
That’s right. It’s time to get out a little bit more, but not with a partner or with a group of friends. Pay the world a little visit and focus on recharging, rebooting and cleansing your soul. Your heart is more tender than most, so take the extra time that you need to recover from a breakup.
Have your cleanse, in whatever way you want to do it, and then perform one baby step at a time for putting yourself out there. You won’t be ready to love again and launch those new beginnings until you are feeling cleansed from the inside out.
Water Sign Strengths:
- Loving
- Artsy
- Passionate

Make sure to not rush into anything heated or emotionally charged right after a breakup. What you need to do, Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn, is to spend some time reassessing what is really going on.
What is at the root of the problem here? If you were given the opportunity, what would you do differently the next time around?
