Aries, though you can be quite a
heartbreaker, your sign takes breakups particularly hard. As the sign
of self-love, you have a lot of pride, and being rejected is a big blow
to your ego. While others may doubt themselves, most
Aries wonder: "Why wouldn't someone
want to be with me?" You know you're a catch!
With that philosophy, it would seem that you'd move on quickly. Alas, no. Independent Aries don't commit easily. You know you're special, so you'll hold out for your prince or princess -- the person who has exactly what you want in a mate. No settling!
Once you find that special someone, you pour yourself fully into the relationship. Aries, you have a childlike innocence about you, and you want that happily-ever-after fantasy. Many Aries have had famous fairy-tale weddings (Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Star Jones and Sarah Michelle Gellar, to name a few).
Deep down, Aries are terrifed of abandonment. Losing your mate makes you feel alone and helpless, which you hate. You expect every real relationship to last forever. You'll fight to make it last, even if you're miserable with this person and the love has died. Years can pass before you have another serious relationship. So how do you move on and have love in your life again?
Get mad!
Angry Rams need to release some rage. Otherwise, you get stuck in
bitterness, which only hurts you. A wise saying goes, "Resentment
is like drinking the poison and hoping the other person dies." Crank up
some pro-woman tunes by Aries divas Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin ("R-E-S-P-E-C-T/Find
out what it means to me"). Dance wildlly and shout the lyrics!
Deal with reality.
We know you've lost your fantasy, and it's hard to let go. But try to see
this person as a human being with flaws and struggles, just like you.
Nobody is an angel. Take off the blinders and see with perspective, instead
of clinging to your ideal picture.
Play with fire.
As a fire sign, you like a little pyromania. Burn
photos or letters from the ex. When you feel extra-low, write
down your negative thoughts "I'll never meet another true love
again") and torch the pages, then flush the ashes. Adios!
Cry your eyes out.
Emotional Aries need to release all the
hurt you keep inside. Listen to power-ballads by Aries songstresses
Mariah Carey ("I Still Believe"), Celine Dion ("The Power of
Love") and
Selena ("Dreaming of You"). Yeah, they're sappy -- and they're exactly
what you need to trigger an awesome cry.
