Virgos are thinkers, and when a relationship ends, it's easy for you
to get stuck in your head. You're ruled by Mercury, the planet of
the mind, after all! You may spend hours, even years, analyzing the
relationship, trying to figure out what went wrong. This "analysis
paralysis" can prevent you from moving forward.
Introverted Virgos close themselves off after heartbreak, some going years without another relationship. While your sign doesn't mind a little alone time, you'll completely occupy yourself with books, household projects, and taking care of everyone else. Let yourself feel all the emotions, from anger and disappointment to genuine sadness. Only when you process the full range of feelings can you move on.
Before you encase your heart in an igloo, remember that dating is a numbers game. We all have to suffer a few fools before we meet our prince. Come out of your thoughts and try again!
Put yourself first.
Virgo is the sign of service, and you love to take care of people. But your
charitable spirit can veer into unhealthy codependence when you use it to avoid
your own life. One Virgo we know, after a 5-year relationship, took care of
her elderly father and played the mediator among her feuding siblings. This
losing battle left her drained and loveless for 5 years before she wised up.
Don't sentence yourself to early spinsterhood, Virgo. Help people by living
a great life of your own and inspiring them by example!
Keep it real.
Virgos are awesome listeners, but when it comes to talking about yourself,
you're a lot less eager. Because you're so hard on yourself, you may feel
like a "failure" when a relationship doesn't work out. Although you may act
warm and happy, your close friends know it's an act, and that inside you
feel bitter, hurt and confused. Tell the truth and let them be there for
you.
Remember, nobody's perfect (not even you).
Virgos have sharp tongues, and you may bash your ex to anyone who will listen.
You see every flaw, and you've cataloged them all. When you're hurt, you
give yourself full range to announce these shortcomings and stupid mistakes
to the world. Deep down, you're turning the same anger
on yourself. Perfectionist Virgos
see breakups as failures -- and that can keep you stuck. Rather
than sink to bitter lows, find a way to mourn the loss -- and forgive yourself
and your ex. We know it's hard. Vent your emotions
through productive channels like therapy, self-help books and writing.
