As the month of love comes, the season of heartbreaks and tears are here. Right before love comes loss, let’s see how each sign breaks up during this inauspicious time…

Mercury will pass very close to the Sun in the sky, on January 29, as its orbit carries it around the far side of the solar system from the Earth. This occurs once in every synodic cycle of the planet (116 days) and marks the end of Mercury’s apparition in the morning sky and its transition to becoming an evening object over the next few weeks.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18: Within a relationship, Aquarians are playful and inspiring, but they’re sure to exhibit their signature aloofness during breakups.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20:  Since their hearts are overflowing with wisdom and empathy, it’s easy for Pisces to get overwhelmed and swim away to avoid an onslaught of emotion.

Aries

March 21 – April 19:  They would rather dump than be dumped, and so if tension has been building, they’re likely to be the ones to initiate the split.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20:  They have a tendency to stay too long in relationships, and they’ll fight for a partnership until the bitter end.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20: They simply go dark when they are over a relationship because they hate confrontations.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22: They are romantics at heart, and they will always fight for their relationships.

Leo

July 23 – August 22: Leo senses that a relationship is spiraling, they try to protect their pride by doing the dumping and can usually bounce back fairly quickly from breakups they initiate.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22: Virgos often completely check out of their relationships — with or without informing their partners because Virgos’ unrealistic expectations of the relationship may eventually dissolve into anxiety and doubt.

Libra

September 23 – October 22:  Libras would rather “take a break” than “break up”

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21: They have an extremely difficult time letting go.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21: Sagittarians are known for their “no bullcrap” attitude, so when they initiate a breakup, the terms are straightforward.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19: If a partnership is simply no longer working, they accept it and move on.
