Who’s More Likely to Break Hearts — and Who’s More Likely to Get Their Heart Broken?
When it comes to love, some zodiac signs are natural heartbreakers, while others tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and often get hurt.
Based on astrology, your sign can give clues about your love style—whether you’re likely to walk away first or be the one left behind. Here’s a look at how the zodiac signs rank, from most likely to break hearts to most likely to end up heartbroken.
1. Gemini
Geminis don’t always mean to hurt anyone—they just come off as charming and full of energy. You go into new relationships hoping people will understand all the layers of your personality, but not everyone can keep up.
Some think you’re being fake or dishonest when really, you’re just showing different parts of yourself. On your way to finding real love, you may unintentionally break a few hearts.
2. Capricorn
Capricorns can break hearts without even trying. You’re ambitious not just with work, but with your love life too. You like to explore different relationships before settling down and tend to treat love like a decision that needs careful thought.
Because you enjoy having choices and don’t settle easily, people can feel used or left behind—making you seem like a natural heartbreaker.
3. Leo
Leo, you shine so brightly that everyone wants to be around you. Your confidence and charm make you super attractive, and you love getting attention.
Even though you’re very loyal once committed, on the road to finding the right one, you may end up breaking hearts. You’re a born flirt and you like being admired, which can make people fall for you even if you’re not serious yet.
4. Aries
You don’t waste time when it comes to love, Aries. If you see red flags, you’re out. Your bold personality makes you stand out, and lots of people are drawn to you.
You’re not someone who sticks around in a bad relationship just because it started off well. That means you may end up breaking hearts—but it’s often for a good reason. You simply know what you want and won’t settle for less.
5. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, you’re a free spirit who loves deeply but values independence even more. Your playful, adventurous nature attracts many admirers. Still, once things feel too routine or serious, you tend to back away.
Even if a relationship feels steady, you might start to crave something new. This can lead to broken hearts for those who hoped you’d stick around for the long haul.
6. Aquarius
Aquarius, you can be both deeply loving and emotionally distant. Sometimes, you close off to people who’ve shown you kindness and forgiveness, and yet you don’t always offer them the same in return.
You may get bored easily in relationships or become emotionally unavailable, which can cause hurt to people who truly care about you—even if they didn’t deserve it.
7. Libra
Libra, ruled by Venus, you naturally draw others in with your charm. You’re one of the most attractive signs in the zodiac when it comes to love.
While you’re a huge flirt and can seem like a heartbreaker at times, you’re also capable of long-term love when the timing feels right. You’re somewhere in the middle—you’ve broken hearts, but you’ve also had your heart broken too.
8. Virgo
Virgo, your standards in love are high, and you tend to see the potential in others. You often try to help people become their best selves, but that can come off as critical.
You’re not quick to give up on love, but if something truly isn’t working, you’ll walk away. That can break a few hearts, though it’s never done with cruelty. You’re careful and thoughtful in your relationships.
9. Scorpio
Scorpio, you’re careful about who you let in. You don’t usually give people the wrong idea—you’re upfront about your level of interest and how serious you are.
That means you don’t often lead people on or cause unnecessary heartbreak. However, your intense and mysterious energy can still cause people to fall hard, even if you’re not trying. You’re more likely to have your heart broken by someone special than to break theirs.
10. Taurus
Taurus, you love love. You’re steady and loyal, and you often assume the person you’re with feels the same way. Because of this, you’re more likely to get your heart broken than break someone else’s.
You can be possessive at times, wanting your partner’s full attention. But not everyone is ready to give the kind of love and commitment you expect, which leads to disappointment.
11. Pisces
Pisces, you’re deeply emotional and sensitive. Your compassionate heart often puts others first, even when they don’t deserve it. You want to believe the best in people, which can lead to you falling for the wrong ones.
Your caring nature makes you a target for those who take advantage of kindness. As a result, you often end up being the one who gets hurt most in relationships.
12. Cancer
Cancer, you love hard and are always searching for that perfect partner. You may have broken a heart or two in your past, but more often than not, you’re the one who ends up heartbroken.
You tend to jump into relationships with a lot of hope, wearing your heart on your sleeve. This makes you vulnerable to people who may not treat your love with the same seriousness.
Final Thought
Love is never black and white, and heartbreak doesn’t follow a strict zodiac rulebook. Every sign has the power to break a heart or be heartbroken—it all depends on timing, personal growth, and connection.
But understanding your natural tendencies in love based on your zodiac sign can help you navigate your relationships better, with more self-awareness and compassion for others.
