If your relationship is on the rocks, it could be because you and your partner are fundamentally mismatched, the stars have it out for you, or both. In any case, a few zodiac signs might have a breakup on the horizon thanks to certain planetary movements.
According to Michelle Bell, founder of the astrology app Cosmic Fusion, each planetary transit can imbue your zodiac sign with a certain energy and, when it comes to breakups, Saturn is one to watch.
“Saturn is known as the planet of karma, limitation, and structure,” she tells Bustle. “When Saturn forms challenging aspects — such as squares or oppositions — to personal planets like Venus or Mars, it can signify a period of testing and restructuring in relationships.” This is why you might have a major realization, like the epiphany that your six-month situationship is no longer worth your time.Uranus is another planet that impacts relationships. “It can bring unexpected disruptions or revelations that shake up existing dynamics,” says Bell. “Uranus’ influence may also prompt a desire for freedom, independence, or authenticity, leading to breakups or radical transformations in relationships.”And then there’s tiny Pluto, which symbolizes transformation, power, and regeneration. According to Bell, a Pluto transit can shed light on deep-seated issues — and just like that you’ll realize you and your partner need to break up.
Below are the three signs who will likely part ways with their partner in 2024, thanks to these planetary movements.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
If you’re a Leo in a relationship, watch your back. According to Bell, Uranus is in the zodiac sign Taurus throughout 2024 and it’s squaring with Leo. In the world of astrology, this aspect is a tricky one. In this case, it might mean your partner hasn’t been fulfilling your needs.
“Uranus’ influence can bring sudden changes, disruptions, or a desire for freedom and independence, which may clash with Leo’s need for recognition, loyalty, and stability in relationships,” she says.
If your partner was once more affectionate, you might feel compelled to break up if they’re suddenly cold, though it’s also possible you’re the one feeling smothered. To get through the year unscathed, Bell recommends protecting your individuality.Your relationship will be so much healthier if you’re open and honest about what you need, but if you do end up going through a breakup, this practice will also set you up for a fun single season where you do exactly what you want to do.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
