Gemini rules the mind, so when a real-deal breakup happens, you're
quick to get lost in your head. One
part of you is philosophical about it, while the other neurotically
wonders if there was something you could have done differently. Don't
get stuck in "analysis paralysis!" There are a thousand ways to look
at the situation, but that doesn't mean you have to explore every
one of them.
Unlike other signs that mope around endlessly, Geminis stay on the move. You're the kings and queens of short-term relationships, and it's easy for you to strike up a rebound within hours of a breakup.
This ability to keep it moving can be an advantage, but don't skim the surface if your heart is really broken. Take the time to mourn your loss, even if it was for the best. As the self-help books would say, "Process your feelings" -- in other words, find a healthy outlet to release anger, sadness and other emotions. Otherwise, the unfinished business will come out in snarky comments, bitterness, and baggage that just gets dragged into your next relationship. Wouldn't you rather start fresh?
Talk about it, write it out.
Geminis rule communication, but you have a funny way of clamming up when it's
time to discuss your feelings. For some Gems, your refusal to talk could
have accelerated your breakup. If there are things left unsaid that would provide
closure, call your ex. Or better, put them in a letter or email. It's easier
for Geminis to express deeper feelings in the written word. If all has been
said and done, fill up a journal, post a blog, or jump into a chat room to
commune with other lovelorn souls.
Stop snooping.
Geminis can't bear NOT to know everything. But sometimes, too much information
can burn you in the end. Are you Googling his new girlfriend, reading his
email, or "data mining" for info on his post-breakup life? If
it's over, you're better off getting a life of your own, and staying out
of your ex's business. You both have a right to move on, so exercise
yours!
Don't gossip to mutual friends.
Geminis date in their social circles, so chances are, you and your
ex have mutual friends. Don't force them to pick sides, and resist the temptation
to bash your ex. It's uncomfortable for everyone. Recognize that your friends
want the best for both of you, and let your pals support you with moving
on. If you need to vent, talk to a therapist or a neutral party.
Have fun! (You never know who you'll meet...)
Cliche advice, but for Gemini, fun can be a lifesaver. Your spirit thrives
on adventure, so put some back in your life. Flirt as only a Gemini can,
and you'll have a fresh crop of admirers in no time.
