How the signs let go of lost love 💔
As an astrologer, I often meet people who struggle with this. It’s a theme that repeats again and again, and I often feel helpless when trying to help with it.
But one night, I dreamt of a black cat.
A dream that perhaps can ease a little of your pain…
I open a window and push a black cat down onto the snow-covered ground.
Before I can close the window, the cat jumps back up onto the windowsill. Again, I push it out into the cold.
Again, it jumps up. I push it out – again and again and again.
And each time it comes back.
I keep pushing it away.
Suddenly it gives up, and walks off.
It doesn’t look back.
I wake up, filled with infinite melancholy. That fleeting moment of sadness, the moment when we let go.
I don’t quite know who I was in this dream; was I the cat, or the one who pushed it out?
Perhaps I was both?
Just like for the cat in my dream, it can be hard for us humans to let go.
We often need several rounds back to the windowsill before we can manage to go alone out into the cold. But there is a maximum number of times we can bear to jump up only to be rejected again. At some point, the limit is reached. And it’s not only the cat that must be aware of this, but also the one who pushes it away. For at a certain point the cat will move on, and then it may not look back. For deep within its wise feline soul, it knows that there will always be someone else willing to let it in from the cold. It just knows.
For as one window closes behind the cat, another window opens somewhere else.
There sits someone who has long been waiting.
For just this cat.
To come in from the cold.
The cat is on its way, but not quite ready.
It just needs to lick its wounds first.
Keep turning its gaze away from the closed window.
And direct it toward the one that is open.
We have different ways of letting go, and astrology can show tendencies in how.
How the signs let go of lost love 💔
If you are strongly influenced by Aries, it is often easier for you than for others to let go, for Aries is an expert at starting over.
For Taurus, on the other hand, it can be extremely difficult to move on. Taurus enters things slowly, and leaves them in the same way. Taurus is possessive and may refuse to go. It can lay siege to your windowsill, and you might need a bulldozer to get it out.
Gemini is usually so curious that it sooner than expected finds someone else to turn its attention to.
Like Taurus, Cancer can also cling tightly, for it attaches itself very strongly to what it calls home. It may lie under your window for weeks. Of all the signs, this one may have the hardest time letting go.
Leo is too proud to want to stay where it is not wanted, and can quickly console itself with other admirers right outside your window – preferably where you can see it – but deep down it is more wounded than anyone suspects.
Virgo will worry about what it did wrong, and immediately start working hard to make sure it never happens again. It accepts and suffers quietly. It doesn’t make things hard for you.
Libra can hardly live without you, for it lives and breathes for love – so much so that it may quickly rush off to find another.
Scorpio will not have it easy, because it cannot lose. It would have preferred if it were the one to push you out into the cold. If it loved you, it can be extremely difficult for it to ever forget, but once it decides to let go, you will never see it again. However, it might want revenge, so beware. If you change your mind later and it takes you back, it may only be to have the chance to reject you in return. Remember, Scorpio usually gets the last word.
Sagittarius is peculiar, for it might applaud the new freedom it has gained. From the start, it wouldn’t have jumped back after being pushed out.
Capricorn will suffer like anyone else who is rejected, but will more strictly control its feelings and quickly take a logical overview of the situation. It likes structure, and now everything has suddenly collapsed. It will make sure this never happens again. Next time it will build the foundation stronger and more sensibly.
Aquarius can react unexpectedly; it may not cry like many others. It understands intellectually, and often wants to stay friends. Be prepared: when you push it out, it may absolutely not react as you expect. It might even start singing cheerful songs outside your window to lighten the mood – who knows?
Pisces will usually start to cry, but is so kind and understanding that it will hug you and comfort you. It suffers deeply, but it will never blame you, only accept, and float away like a leaf in a trickling stream. Silently, it disappears.
There are many ways to let go. For the one who loves, it is never easy.
But never stop looking for that open window.
For there sits someone waiting for you somewhere. Someone who longs only for you,
and who will never let you go.💖
