The 3 Zodiac Signs Most Likely To Glow-Up After A Breakup

It’s tough when a relationship comes to an end, but it often has a silver lining, and that’s the promise of a post-breakup glow-up. This is when you redirect all your energy back towards yourself and transform your life in major ways to move on.

When someone “glows up” after a breakup, it’s usually most noticeable on the outside — at least at first. They might look happier, more energetic, or seem extra confident, and chances are they’ll give themselves a major makeover, too. Think bangs, a fun hair color, or a wardrobe refresh.

The real glow-up, though, happens on the inside. After parting ways with an ex, especially if they were toxic, someone in a glow-up might travel abroad, move to a new city, adopt a pet, start a business, or go back to school. When you run into them, you can tell they’re thriving and having fun, but more importantly, that they’re at peace.

Thanks to their astrological makeup, certain zodiac signs have the biggest glow-ups after a breakup. For the ones who embody transformation, the end of a love spell is often a catalyst that sets them down a brand-new path. They see it as the start of a 2.0 version of themselves, and they take full advantage of it.

For others, they use the heartbreak as motivation to level up. They’ll channel their sadness or anger into making major changes, and in six months, their life will look brand new. Here are the three zodiac signs who always make the most of a breakup.

Taurus (April 19 - May 19)

As an earth sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love, a Taurus might struggle when their relationship comes to an end. They’ll feel heartbroken, lonely, and emotionally uprooted, perhaps even more so than other signs, but that’s precisely what fuels their impressive glow-up.

When a Taurus decides it’s time to move on, they won’t look back. They’ll wake up early, create a new routine, and pour their energy into taking great care of themselves. This sign will stop by Sephora for a new skin care stash, get a fresh haircut, and book themselves for a manicure. Their goal is to feel brand new inside and out.

As a dedicated, hardworking sign, a Taurus might even plan their glow-up. They’ll make sure they have a fun vacation on the horizon, outings with friends, and plenty of self-care treats, like massages and solo dates. Give them a few months and they’ll be completely unrecognizable.

Scorpio (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20)

As a sign ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, Scorpios tend to change their entire life after a breakup. The moment their relationship ends, they shed who they were with their ex and start dreaming up the next phase of their life.

A Scorpio will take any excuse to morph into someone new, but breakups are their best fuel. As a loyal water sign, Scorpios give their all to the people they love, and are often a mess after a breakup as a result. They might feel hurt, betrayed, or lost without their partner. To feel better, they’ll channel all that energy back into themselves.

Scorpios also hate to be scorned. If they were broken up with, they’ll make it their mission to thrive even harder. Anytime they feel complacent, they’ll remember what happened, and it’ll give them a jolt of motivation. The glowiest, happiest person you’ll ever see is a Scorpio a year after a breakup.

Capricorn (Dec. 31 - Jan. 18)

No one’s more unstoppable than a Capricorn post-breakup. On a good day, this earth sign is already going to be the most dedicated and driven person you know. But give them something to prove, and that’s when they really kick it into high gear.

A Capricorn will take their annoyance or heartbreak and use it as motivation to give their life a complete and total overhaul. Instead of simply moving on, they’ll start a business, go back to school, or buy a house. Often, they realize their ex was holding them back, and so they go big to make up for lost time.

Capricorns also aren’t ones to wallow. As a sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of perseverance, they might give themselves a day to feel sad, but that’s it. Once the 24 hours are up, they’ll take an everything shower, put on their best outfit, and dive back into life.
