In 1789 when Benjamin Franklin said that “in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes,” one word he forgot to add in was drama. It’s true, is it not? You’re probably caught up in some of your own – willingly or not – right now!
Drama is tiring and if you’ve ever gone to a friend at a loss for words or wisdom about how to handle a situation, they’ve probably told you to just cut them out of your life. Plain and simple. But everyone knows that’s easier said than done.
If you’re at a time and place right now where you need to cut someone out of your life, or you’re worried that someone might cut you out of theirs… we understand what you’re going through. Although it might seem out of left field and you might not understand why things are unfolding this way, meaning could lie in the stars.
There are actually five individuals belonging to certain zodiac signs who will not for a second hesitate to remove you from their lives. Below we go through each one and explain what makes some people so quick to cut ties. Of course, it’s not always fair to whoever is on the receiving end, but we hope this list of zodiac signs lends some clarity grows your understanding of the inner workings of their minds.
Why Some Zodiac Signs Are So Quick to Cut Ties with People
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Because of their extroverted nature, Aquarius are incredibly fun to have friendships with. However, for the same reason, they tend to bound from friend to friend or group to group. To them, it’s nothing personal – they just feel the need to surround themselves with other transient and adventurous people. If you can keep up with an Aquarius, they’ll probably keep you around. But if you can’t, do not be surprised if you’re having the best time of your life one weekend and scrambling for plans with someone else the next.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Everyone has their inner circle, but Scorpios bring a whole new meaning to the term. This is largely because their friend circle is already quite small and tight-knit. In life, they value very few things more than trust and friendship, so you can image how much weight a Scorpio friendship carries. That said, if a Scorpio chooses to cut you out of their life – especially due to trust issues – you must have done something very, very wrong.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos have very diverse personalities and combine admirable traits such as intelligence, commitment, and an eye for detail. Because they can adapt into many circles and talk to almost anyone, they’re also willing to be more patient and understanding with people… but almost to a fault. However, if they recognize that you have been taking advantage of their patience… you can expect a swift snip to the thread holding your “friendship” together.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
If there’s a single zodiac sign striving the most to be their best self, it’s Leo. Success is a top priority for Leos and that not only means keeping themselves in check, but the people they surround themselves with. So, if you’re not contributing to a Leo’s success, it’s nothing personal, but you can expect to be cut of their life. Although it’s never easy losing a friend, the silver lining is that Leos will never lead you on. Instead, you will know from the get-go whether they want you in their life or not.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus are calm, cool, and calculating. While they will not hesitate to rid someone from their life, they may take a bit longer to do so. By calculating, we mean that the Taurus in your life is probably weighing the pros and cons of your friendship as you read this… In one sense, there’s comfort in knowing that their decision to cut you out wasn’t made on a whim. But closure is harder to come by because you will rarely find out how long a Taurus’ deliberation was going on for – and when the decision is made, that’s it.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
If there is an Aries in your life, you know they mean business. Rarely do you find an individual born between March 21 and April 19 who enjoys being around people who are not like-minded or caring. They value quality over quantity, so you’ll usually see him or her surrounding themselves with a group of friends you can count on your fingers. Not unlike Scorpios, your typical Aries won’t hesitate to cut you out of their life. And although they will have the heart to forgive, you can bet they won’t forget.
Have you been cut or been the cutter?
Whether or not your specific zodiac sign fell under this list, it’s good info to know! Some people thrive on drama while these Zodiac signs want nothing to do with it. If you or someone you know is currently dealing with an Aquarius, Scorpio, Virgo, Leo, Taurus, or Virgo (or if you need to cut someone out of your life), we hope this helps you better understand whatever comes next…
