How Every Zodiac Sign Dumps You

Aries loves the thrill of the chase more than the relationship. Once coupledom sets in, if an Aries grows bored or doesn't get the right amount of slavish devotion, they will get itchy feet and start looking around for their next conquest, mainly in order to get an ego boost from a new admirer. They most likely will give you the "It's not me, It's you" treatment, playing on your insecurities as they gradually ghost you; you simply weren't giving them their rightful amount of awestruck admiration. They will keep you dangling, however, coming back every time they need to feed off a spike of narcissistic supply.

Taurus is a fixed sign, so once they are roped into a relationship, it is kind of hard for them to move on — but that doesn't mean they don't want to. They will ramp up the stubborn, controlling side of their nature, making your life a stagnant limbo where discussion or compromise is impossible. In this way, the Taurus will not have to leave you, but push you to make the break for them. Taurus is intransigent on the best of days, but if their obstinacy and authoritarianism starts crossing a line, you may want to detach yourself from their borderline emotional abuse — don't expect the Taurus to change.

There is nothing more intoxicating than a Gemini's lightening-quick intelligence and razor-sharp wit — as long as you are on their good side. If they decide to aim the weapons in their mental toolkit against you, the joke might not be so funny anymore. When a Gemini is nearing the break-up stage, they may start making cutting, snarky comments against you — more so than usual. If you ask them to stop, they'll accuse you of being a killjoy who can't take a joke. Expect a lot of eye-rolls, exasperated sighs and feeling alienated in group situations. Once their mean side is out in full force, you may want to move on. Don't worry, if you don't, they will. If you cross them on the street, don't expect a hello, as they probably regard you as a lapsed moment of judgment from their past, if they remember you at all.

Hell hath no fury like a Cancer scorned. This highly co-dependent sign does not move on easily, but when they do, it is probably because they felt they were done wrong or that you were making plans to move on yourself — and they scrambled to beat you to the finish line for the sake of their public image. They will take their sob story to your friends, family, colleagues, the courts and anyone who will listen; they are a natural at playing the victim, so don't be surprised when they turn you into a right cad, so that your life-long compadres abandon your camp to be full-on #TeamCancer.

When the Leo goes, they're gone. As a fixed, yet happy-go-lucky sign, it will take them a while before moving on. You probably won't even know they are having doubts or problems. They will continue showering you in their naturally warm, optimistic and generous nature, even if on the inside their affections are waning. But once they build up the conviction to walk out that door, it's over. No second chances. No "being friends." No drunken late-night calls. No birthday wishes or nights out with mutual friends. They just want to move on and be happy, because, if they had been happy with you, they would have stayed. On a positive note, they only wish the best for you and hope that you, too, can eventually find the right partner and live happily ever after, and most often only speak kindly of you to others. If your Leo is breaking up with you, it is best to brush yourself off and continue with your life.

Virgo is the perfectionistic sign of the zodiac, and therefore, their ability to criticize and continuously nitpick the flaws in others is off the charts. Even in the best of times, a Virgo won't stop telling you how you need to improve, tearing apart every single thing you try to accomplish. When they are ready for a breakup, this tendency will increase tenfold, in a sort of relationship death by a thousand cuts. This meticulous sign will have all their ducks in a row long before they tell you they are moving on. Lawyers will be on retainer, new accommodations ready to go, custody already planned out. You will be struggling to keep up and protect your interests.

Ruled by Venus, Libra looks at life through rose-colored glasses and is famed for falling in love with love, so don't be too surprised when you realize they weren't really in love with you to begin with. Their hypnotically romantic nature will pull anyone into their spell, having you believe you are living a fairy-tale life of happily ever after — which you are, until the next one comes along who offers a higher sense of affection and charm. Libra hates confrontation, so they may kind of incrementally distance themselves from you, until you are left out in the cold. They are naturally chatty, so if your Libra shuts up, something may be up. On the positive side, if a Libra dumps you, you don't have to worry about bitter recriminations, they are too absorbed in their next target to want to waste their energy on you.

Scorpios do not break up, they merely add to their collection. Their refusal to let you move on with your life could poison your attitude and keep you in a whirlpool of toxicity, if you are not careful. Deep-and-dark Scorpio knows they will never live the white, picket-fence existence — and they want to make sure you don't either. They will keep tabs on you and cross emotional boundaries to maintain the close connection you had when together. They expect you to be their ride-or-die for life, even after they have moved on. For this reason, if your Scorpio breaks up with you, it is important you create a proper space for yourself to heal and regain a sense of autonomy. Block them on your socials, get a new phone number, and move house, if you have to, to prevent them from constantly "dropping by." If they contact you at work, let HR know you are being harassed by an ex, so they can block their number from reaching you.

If your Sagittarius tells you they think you'd be better off friends, you should consider yourself lucky and jump at the occasion, because you will be getting the better end of the deal. Saggie's are intoxicating and alluring, but can sometimes be fickle or lacking in attention in their romantic relationships, but when it comes to friendship, they are 100 per cent there, 100 per cent of the time. You will be able to enjoy their warmth, generosity, kindness, optimism and enthusiasm, without all the frustration of tying them down or breaking their stallion spirit. If you accept the reality that you are not their one and only, you could have a new BFF for life, who will always be by your side to support you and lend a hand. If you get all emotional and heavy, they will be gone, galloping down the one-way road of good-byes.

Capricorns may love with no discernment, but they marry for status. They'll sleep with any old side piece, but, when they wed, they want nothing but the best in terms of looks, career, money and, most importantly, pedigree. If their situation changes and they move up the professional ladder with wider prospects of meeting the well-to-do, they will trade you in like last season's car — and with the same level emotion investment. When a Capricorn is getting ready to leave, their mask of perfection will start to slip, revealing a slovenly, base side that is in stark contrast with their usual pristine image. They will no longer act like Prince(ss) Charming, but a grumpy Grinch and start getting stingy with cash even for the most minor purchases. They will denigrate and discard you, slowly stripping away your best qualities until you are nothing special, and therefore, not in their league. Keep up your confidence by surrounding yourself with positive people, as Capricorns enjoy isolating their partner by keeping them locked away in an ivory tower.

Aquarians have a cool aloofness in the best of times, so it may be a bit difficult to detect when they start to detach. A fairly cerebral sign, if they start to shun intellectual discussions may be the first sign they are out the door. It takes a long time for Aquarians to make a change, but when they do, it can be lightening fast. Their rationality may have kept them in a relationship for all the wrong the reasons. Aquarians are ruled by both Saturn and Uranus, which gives them a contradictory character of loving freedom and change, while at the same time craving stability and tradition. So if you are the "perfect partner" they may secretly crave a bohemian renegade, but if you are a rule breaker, they may end up leaving you for someone who can pay their rent, so they can go off chasing rainbows. Aquarians are not super emotional, so tears and pleading sobs will only push them away more quickly. As it takes so much effort to get them to move on, once they do, there is no going back. Don’t be surprised if you never hear from them again.

When a Pisces is ready to swim on to other seas, they will be sure to sit you down and let you know that they are doing this for your own good. Their leaving will give you the opportunity to reflect on the error of your ways and improve yourself, so that you can be a more-enlightened partner in the future. See what they did there? You will need to deal with the Pisces' twisted, pretzel logic as they try to offload the blame of everything onto your shoulders. Nothing they say will align with the way you remember it, but they will gaslight you, your friends and family into believing their victim narrative. It is important that you keep a clear idea of your own version of facts and refuse to take on the guilt that is being projected onto you. Pisces will keep you dangling on the hook, wanting to remain friends and intimates when it serves them: be it for some psychological advice, help with their responsibilities or a quick ego boost. They will leave you focused on repairing their life post break-up, instead of sorting out your own needs.
