      Anotella, Professional Astrologer & Numerologist

      Anotella has been giving psychic readings for over a decade.

      Aries

      Embark on mini adventures

      You are bold, fearless, and ready to move forward. The best approach? Engage in mini adventures. Whether it’s exploring a new hiking trail, enrolling in a class, or trying out a new coffee shop, Anotella suggests that these mini thrills can help Aries regain their independence. Although your straightforward nature may make you want to express your feelings to your ex, focus your energy on activities that reignite your passion for life. Remember, boredom can set in quickly, so persist until you feel like yourself again.

      Taurus

      Build a cozy sanctuary

      Right now, Taurus, comfort is essential. Don’t seek it in your ex's embrace; instead, create a personal sanctuary at home. Gather your favorite blankets, light some candles, engage in a grounding activity like cooking or caring for your plants, and enjoy your favorite comfort show. Anotella notes that this will help you restore emotional security. You understand that healing isn’t instantaneous, so return to your cozy space until you find peace. Patience during challenging times has always been your strength.

      Gemini

      Conduct a social audit

      Gemini, gaining a fresh perspective is vital for you, and the best method to achieve this is by reviewing your social circles—both online and offline. Anotella suggests that by “unfollowing what no longer serves you and enriching your conversations with engaging new individuals, podcasts, and experiences,” you’ll spark your curiosity and discover new interests (and people) to be enthusiastic about. You will adapt quickly as you always do, making the moving on process easier. Just be cautious; your playful reputation might lead you into situationships before you're truly ready to welcome someone new into your life.

      Cancer

      Write to your future self

      Add “journal and let it out” to your task list, Cancer, as heartfelt reflection is what you need to navigate your breakup. “Composing a letter to your future self, filled with your aspirations, dreams, and affirmations, will help you process your feelings,” Anotella advises. Additionally, it will assist you in visualizing the healed, confident person you are becoming. You often go to great lengths to care for and protect those around you, but now is the time to focus inward. This nurturing quality will benefit both your present and future selves.

      Leo

      Adopt a fresh aesthetic

      Even in challenging times, you love to shine. “Transforming your heartbreak energy into a striking new look will help you reclaim your spotlight,” according to Anotella. Consider a bold wardrobe update or a new hairstyle to boost your confidence. Surround yourself with loyal friends and hit the town to showcase your new vibe. Just avoid posting a selfie with #single; you don't want to come off as self-absorbed when reentering the dating scene.

      Virgo

      Use emotional mapping

      Being practical and detail-oriented, you likely anticipated this breakup, Virgo. However, understanding what occurred and the lessons to take forward will bring you peace. Anotella explains that emotional mapping can aid in this process. Take your journal and note significant emotional moments. When did things shift? What were your emotions? Documenting your feelings as landmarks on your personal growth journey can transform heartbreak into a structured process, ultimately providing clarity.

      Libra

      Detoxify your digital environment

      With your natural inclination towards beauty and balance, Libra, achieving this can be challenging during an emotional breakup. Focus on your social media to curate the uplifting space you require. Assess the accounts you follow—are they enhancing your life? If not, it’s time to let them go and seek out hobby or home decor
