So the guy I was "seeing" broke up with me today via email lol. (Scorp ASC/Scorp Sun/Cancer moon/Venus & Mars in Virgo).Well me (Leo ASC/Taurus sun/Virgo moon/Venus Pisces/Mars Libra) actually took it very well in the sense that I didn't get all emotional about it (well anger is an emotion right?) As soon as I read the email, I text him I wanted my key back, he said something about being over in an hr. Right after that I deleted/blocked him from EVERYTHING. Deleted emails, pictures, got all of his crap and put it in a plastic bag and put it out in front of my door like garbage. Then before he came I decided I didn't want to see his face, so I text him to slide the key under the door and that his stuff was in a little plastic bag. He text me back saying the keys were all mixed up and he didn't know which one was which. I said that the key had it's own ring (I saw him put it with his house keys with the keyring in tact). I told him to just keep the damn key & get your sh*t and go! I will put in a work order to get my locks changed on Monday. I think he might have been expecting some dramatic scene or that I'd beg him to be with me and let's work it out..I actually even surprised myself in the way I reacted. But either way I'm quite happy with how I did & glad I didn't let him get the satisfaction of seeing me all emotional. How do you guys handle break-ups and what's your sign while you're at it. It's always been easy for me to just cut people off and I'm pretty sure that's not normal, but I like that I can because it helps with minimizing the pain. IP: Logged |

Wow, all of that air! I would have for sure thought it would be easy for you to separate ties. But then again, it depends on all of the factors involved too.

I mean....It's not hard for me to break it off initially because I'm the rip off the bandage quickly type of person. I guessing how much I care about the person depends on how much of a hot mess I'll become. but I mean it's a good time for everyone else because when I'm sad I get wild. IP: Logged |

wow, good for you Babybull in the way you dealt with it.It's cowardly of someone to break up with you by email, imo. Yes get those locks changed asap. lol. Good luck. It doesn't take me long to get over someone (even if they've broken up with me) IF I feel I have resolution, got all the facts, etc, but that's because of my analytical Virgo sun & mercury I guess and wanting to tidy up loose ends. If I don't have "answers" it takes me a lot longer. For example I recently ended with a guy because our relationship was neither here nor there for a few months, he was completely non-committal about his feelings and I pretty much decided he wasn't in love with me or didn't have the same feelings I had for him. C'est la vie. One puts it all in a box marked "experience" and moves on. IP: Logged |

I've got lots of Sag so I guess that helps me to get over it fast (with one exception) and see the bright side to about anything. Libra (another stellium, scorpio cusp) usually keeps me from getting with someone who'd break up with me via email or text, or from reaching that point (or maybe they wouldn't dare, not sure ). I've only had 4 breakups with someone I was close to and only one was bad. The first 3 were easygoing with no hard feelings on either side, and I'm good friends with one former flame today (and would be friendly if I met the other two again). As for the last one, my lesbian girlfriend cheated on me twice, the 2nd being what ended it. She did know me enough to know how best to appeal to me to talk it out, but after I realized this was hopeless, our values were too different, and it was just making it a lot more painful than it had to be, then I just froze her out completely, and she could leave or I would, and since she couldn't afford the rent on her own (and had someone willing to take her in) she left. I didn't yell, insult her, block her (though I would've if it became a problem), I was just cold...my Scorpio influences allow me to do that. I wasn't even vengeful, she was just dead to me for all practical purposes, and I grieved hard, but I didn't wish her back at all. I saw her 11 months ago which was a little over 4 years after the breakup and she tried to speak to me. I nodded to her when she said hi but kept going without speaking and she called after me that I could at least say hi back. I turned to her and very calmly said, "There is nothing for us to say to the other ever again, and I'd appreciate it if you ignored me the next time you saw me." There was no anger or hurt or anything, I was just stating fact, all the passionate love we once shared was completely cold, what we had was gone and will never return, that's just the way it is. I even wish her well (which would include not being a lying, jealous cheater) as long as she's never part of my life again. IP: Logged |

Personally I wouldn't. I wouldn't satisfy a man's ego by showing I cared. I did the "go f*** yourself" thing once and he just thought I was nuts. lol It confuses them when you don't react and just calmly show them the door.

the first two break ups were difficult. after that I knew what to do. pretty much what you described. delete, block, ignore, throw away everything that reminds me of them - photos, diary pages, letters the first two break ups taught me a very important lesson. I can't make anyone love me, it's either they do, or they don't. as soon as I understand that, it's easy to initiate break up, and to get over a break up. My family is not big on relationship either. Other than family ties and marriage (because marriage unites the 2 families), they usually don't consider anything else permanent/serious. so if I had a break up, they'd say well you'll get over it lol so yeah such family influence also helps me deal with break ups easier ================================== old ID astrofan123 Leo sun Scorpio rising IP: Logged |

It's funny, because when we first got together I was soo obsessed and absolutely feared losing him, but then something just kind of came over me and now I'm pretty much indifferent to him and the whole situation. Our relationship didn't have as much Pluto as the last one I had, so it wasn't quite as bizarre and obsessive, but it kind of was a little bit on his part. I just hope now that we're not together anymore I will stop dreaming about him. I had a dream about him just last night. Sometimes when he'd sleep over I'd dream about him and he'd be right next to me..it was weird I never slept very well when he was here, I felt like he was invading my thoughts if that makes any sense...

It does make sense. In my opinion it means you are repressing your emotions too much and they are coming back to you in the shape of a dream. I don't mean you necessarily have to go all psycho, but allow yourself to think "I wish it hadn't ended so early" or "I wish he's done it with a little more elegance" or whatever it is you might feel (generally speaking or for 10 or 20 minutes from time to time). (My Pluto aspects my Mercury, my Venus, my Moon and my Saturn. Emotional control is my hobby lol) IP: Logged |

I totally get what you're saying and I know it's all cognitive, but it's like I can't even allow him the satisfaction that I'm even thinking about it like that..lol I'm sure he's not thinking about it or even cares, so why should I..Oh and the dream I had was the night/early morning before he sent the email. And the dreams were pretty much always of a sexual nature. So maybe I'm repressing sexual emotions? I don't know lol IP: Logged |

Your description sounds emotional to me. You trying to hold back and not letting him see the emotional side could be due to your Leo asc putting up a brave front.If you are hurt, just admit you are hurt. It's faster to recover this way instead of pretending it doesn't affect you. IP: Logged |

I didn't say it wasn't emotional, but instead of the typical boo-hoo crying that some women do after they've been dumped, the only emotion he saw or felt was anger and even then not really because it was thru text as far as he knows I was calm the whole time. What's there to talk about and why should I even have to see his face? Just leave my key, get your crap from in front of my house and go about your business. I can almost guarantee he was expecting some emotional (crying, yelling, begging, what-have-you) outburst from me and I didn't give him the satisfaction. The only thing he got from me I guess is the text I sent him after he left, but it was only the truth and I may have said some hurtful things, but I felt they were deserved. And of course anything he replied with was completely ignored. I'm not pretending it didn't affect me..it did or else I wouldn't have gotten angry, but to me being angry is a lot better than showing weakness by crying and all that crap, men play on that and bank on it. Nope nuh-uh not getting that from me!

I totally get what you're saying and would probably have reacted the same way. But imo there are two things that must not be confused. Things you show (or don't show) to him, and things you actually show to yourself and are ready to work on. If you're aware of everything you keep from him, be it sorrow, anger, desire or whatever, I don't think you have any reason to worry about any negative impact it could have on you, really. Staying true to oneself is what it takes ^^ Take care!! IP: Logged |

Thank you, I know it's silly and he would never know how it really affected me, but *I* would know and I just don't want to give him THAT kind of power over me. Part of the reason why I reacted the way I did was for him to see it won't phase me but also for MYSELF. The colder I am about all of this the easier it will be for me to move on from it..trust me.

I don't do violence as it would break my "no one is worth jail time" rule. I may cry a bit during the actual break up scene, but that is it. I may feel slaughtered inside, but the exes will never see it. All of them try to get me back whether it has been weeks, months, or years after the initial break up. I have the satisfaction of graciously refusing their offer. The person I have been with the last 4 years is the exception. We were together 20 years ago & he broke up with me way back when. I distinctly remember saying to him, "You are a fool".

Are you sure that you aren't "punishing" him? The sudden "cutting off" of people seldom means you are over them. It just means that you imagine it'll hurt far too much to see them again and again. I wonder if its the Asc Scorpio(his) opposing your Sun that is evoking such a response. You reaction is typical Mars in Libra. It spells of passive aggressiveness. Are there current transits that are affecting your Moon, Venus and Mars positions? If Mars is aspecting your Pluto watchout for an increase in rage. IP: Logged |

I see what you're saying about "punishing" him, but that's not what I had in mind by cutting it off like that. My thought was he doesn't care anyway how it went down or else he wouldn't have broken up with me via email. So I felt the reaction was justified given the action. As far as my Mars being in Libra passive/aggressiveness, it is with certain things, but I normally don't back down from a fight. I normally WOULD have been combative and wanting to have a shouting match with him. But I decided to just go with the way I did it. Mars is conjuncting my pluto, which I know normally means raging and such. While I felt angry, I just didn't feel the urge to have a fight with him, it might have turned ugly..but like I said earlier I don't usually back down from stuff like that. I don't have anything transting my Venus right now, but I do have Venus squaring my Saturn, which would probably explain why it didn't work out in the first place. The only moon transit I'm having is moon sextile saturn...I just looked at my natal chart and the moon sits in my first house. I just read this regarding this transit: quote: When transiting Saturn trines or sextiles our natal Moon, we feel more in control of our emotions, our domestic affairs, and our personal habits. We feel considerably more mature and capable of handling our personal lives. Family matters assume more importance in our lives now, and we meet our responsibilities with maturity and competence. We have much to learn from older people in our lives, and during this transit, we are more likely to actually listen to what they have to say, and learn from them. Which house does the Moon rule in your chart? (There may be more than one). Wherever you find Cancer in your chart, you will notice this mature and steady energy. For example, if the Moon rules your 5th house, you might be less inclined to jump into a romantic fling during this transiting trine and more capable of dealing with children. You might begin a new romance that is considerably more mature in nature than previous ones, or your current relationships might become more practical or reliable. Because the fifth house rules our creative self-expression, and Saturn has a stabilizing and realistic effect, we might turn our hobbies into businesses during this transit. At the very least, our self-expression becomes more sober and practical. If the Moon rules our seventh house, we might notice that our partnerships (including marriage) become more practical and goal-oriented. We are able to manage these relationships with more maturity. If we are not involved in a partnership before the transit, we might enter into one, simply because it is a more relationship-friendly period of time when we get serious about our commitments.
Perhaps this is why I didn't react how I normally would or as you say reacted passive-aggressively, for me it was just a different avenue to take as opposed to seeing him and wanting to have an argument.

I will cry for a couple of days, then go out and meet someone new. After a while I won't feel sad anymore, but only that I lost contact with him. The worst thing is to lose contact with someone I really loved for a long time. Even though I'm never gonna be together with him again, I'll always think a little about how it was. I mean, I spend so much time with him, then I think it's a shame that we can't even be friends/friendly. I'm only friends with one of my ex-flirts (a libra) the rest probably hates me like plague, or just doesn't care about me anymore. I don't really know why though, cause I don't get angry after a break-up, I just get a bit sad, and then that's it. Life goes on, it has to right?Virgo sun, pisces moon, cancer rising, libra mercury, scorpio venus and virgo mars.

Maybe your Pisces moon may have something to do with why you only dwell on it for a few days and then meet someone new. My Venus is in Pisces and I'll usually give myself a day to cry, be mad, whatever and then it's like ok..on to the next! LOL I usually stay friends with my ex's and I was thinking last week that I'd really just like to be friends with him. But then I remember a conversation we had a few weeks prior about how he doesn't see the point in men and women being friends. So I pretty much knew that was out of the question. Even more reason now that I had to cut him off like I did, because it would have been permanent anyway.

Hi all. At first when it comes to a break up I respond with fierce anger, than I usually move on. I need to eliminate the person completely from my mind though, and fill my head with lots of other projects and ideas. I need to write down and focus on why this person was a bad choice for me. I avoid anything that reminds me of the person. I am a very early Gemini SUN / Late Degree Aries Moon / Mercury, Venus, Mars, Juno all in TAURUS. / with a watery pisces ascendant. I also have Uranus in Scorio in the 8th house, I am able to quit bad habits really easily, with the right mental focus and determination IP: Logged | |
