The Energy Of Inanimate Objects - Purging The Other Person’s Energy After A Break-Up
Astrology in Real Life…
Speaking of the soldier holding on to that sweater, earlier this month we were talking about the energy of inanimate objects, specifically clothing. My friend, Alexa likes to wear other people’s clothing and do you remember this poll:
For example, say you go out and have a really awful horrible time. Would you wear that outfit again?
And I meant to ask this but forgot:
If you break up with a lover do you purge their energy from your environment? For example would you buy new sheets? Would you get rid of articles of clothing or jewelry they gave you or change your hair or the perfume you wore if they’d admired it? Or would none of this be necessary?
Do you have Scorpio in your chart? What about Pisces?

I’d get rid of everything — and then regret it because I’m sentimental. Scorpio rising and Pluto conjunct MC in Leo.
i really don’t know. i have had one serious relationship aside from the one i am currently in, and when we broke up i fled the continent.
all i have left of the ex is some photos with him in it, and i won’t get rid of them because we travelled alot together.
he was actually a nice man. just a drunk.
um, yeah, so I guess I could say none of this would be necessary!
For me the energy can be altered. You can make your reality whatever you want, so no I dont discard of items.
It would depend on the relationship and breakup. If I was feeling footloose and fancy-free afterwards, no, I wouldn’t. But if I was having some issue moving on, I wouldn’t hesitate to scrap:
*pictures of us
*small, inexpensive gifts
*letters
etc.
If I’m doing that I also get something special for myself, like a new haircut or piece of clothing or something.
Scorpio Pluto trine Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon and AC, Neptune Square moon and opposite Sun.
Yes! Get rid of it all or, at least, get it out of my sight and put into a box (one never knows, there may be a reconciliaton haha).
No Pisces, but stelium in Scorpio.
I once gathered up every scrap of “him”, destroyed each item, placed them in a box, gift wrapped it and left it on his doorstep. I’ve always regretted that, because he had some really cool t-shirts I wish I had kept…
Now, I don’t find getting rid of stuff all that important. Unless the next guy is offended!
I’m Sun-Gemini, Moon-Aries, Venus-Taurus, Leo-rising. Not sure where my attitude springs from…
usually by the time I end a relationship things have gotten so bad that I WANT OUT and seeing his stuff really doesn’t faze me much. It takes a lot, but once I let go I’m gone…
I have 1 or two photos of my ex and that’s enough. I still have some jewelry he gave me but i would never wear it again. To be honest: purge, purge, purge: out of my life you!
I don’t change my sheets or my appearance but all the sentimental trinkets I’ve ended up keeping over the time (ticket stubs, small gifts, etc.) get put into a box and hidden away. I can’t quite make myself dump them because they are, after all, memories of happy times and even though the relationship has gone sour, the positive energy and happiness attached to those objects remains for me.
Oh. I forgot to say, I have three planets in Scorpio.
To anyone with Venus in Scorpio–if you divorced, would it be hard to continue to live in the same house you shared with your ex if you had other options? Would it mean you are expecting them to come back–or you just really like the house?
L.A. nothing’s straighforward but if I divorced it would definitely be a painful, nerve-wrecking, gut-wrenching event…the house would have to be really good, no, forget that, if the house couldn’t give me good vibes, I wouldn’t stay there. I don’t see Venus in Scorpio really liking a house, unless there are some Libra influences
But that’s just my humble opinion!
Ah, my friend has Libra rising…could be the reason. Thanks!
I’ve stopped getting rid of everything because I decided the loss was more painful… But I do get rid of some things, tuck others away for safekeeping, and take steps to remove their energies from other things.
No Pisces or Scorp in my chart, though I do have a busy 8th house.
I probably wouldn’t wear the exact combination of outfit again, but I would wear all the pieces in other outfits.
After a breakup I purge piece by piece and it can take quite a while. I find I like to hold on to the stuff and I’m not exactly sure why because I definitely have trouble wearing/using it (generally I hide it there’s an entire box of uselessness in my closet) . . venus in the 12th. Keeping my old lovers in a secret box heheheh.
I keep the things that have meaning and positive vibes, purge that pieces that have no meaning or bad feelings attached. Although everything eventually will be purged one way or another (ceases to be pleasant, fire, flood, etc). My Pluto is conjunct Venus and Mars. *lol*
And, yes, I would totally wear that outfit again especially if I thought I was rockin’ it!
I’d never wear it again, but I wouldn’t throw it out either. Wearing something like that (or even having it around) would make me feel like I was reliving the whole thing over and over again. I like to put stuff like this away in a secret box and keep it out of sight. Inanimate objects, anything belonging to the other person, can have this ‘lingering’ energy about them that I find very disturbing. I can’t be around it at all, can’t concentrate, but can’t let go of it either, hence the boxing up and storing away. Supersensitive to energy - Pisces Mercury, Neptune conjunct Moon.
On an odd note, I’m uncomfortable leaving my energy lingering around others as well. Usually, I gather up all the bits and pieces of my ’self’ and take it with me. I disappear
