ICYMI, and there’s no way you did, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth just split up after years of being together. This has been an effing cuh-raaaaazy summer so far, and their recent breakup shows that nobody, not even celebs with adorbs-AF meet-cutes and ~together forever~ vibes, is having an easy time with this astro-weather!
Looking at their charts, Miley and Liam’s friendship turned situationship turned relationship turned breakup turned reconnection turned engagement turned marriage...actually makes sense. Miley’s a freedom-loving Sagittarius Sun (the most “can’t be tamed” sign of all time, TBH) with an intense Scorpio Moon. Sagittarius placements usually don’t have an easy time with commitment, but her Scorpio Moon makes her able to form deep bonds with the people she loves and feel like she’s entangled with them forever.
To top that off, Miley’s Venus sign is in Capricorn, which is confusingly very un-Sagittarian in nature—it’s the sign of stability, structure, and longevity, so when Miley does fall in love with someone, it really lasts and she wants to keep them around for a long time. This offers a little insight to their relationship ups and downs and why they’re able to still be friends when they’re not ~in love~ with each other.
Liam, on the other hand, is a Capricorn Sun with a Leo Moon. He also has a Capricorn stellium, which is when there are three or more planets in one sign. Liam has five Capricorn placements, all of them sitting cozy with Miley’s Venus in Capricorn, so it’s no wonder she’s been with him for, like, ever.
Liam was born with his Venus retrograde in Aquarius. This means that when he’s not in a love relationship with Miley, he’s still happy being her best friend (Aquarius is the most platonic sign), and the retrograde part of that placement indicates he’s super picky with who he partners up with. Aka it makes sense he’s pretty much been with Miley and only Miley, despite being such a gorge charmer.
Okay, you ask, but why now, when they’ve taken conscious time apart in the past and seemed so solid and happy for so long? Well, this summer’s astro-weather hit both of these ex-lovebirds’ charts pretty hard. All those eclipses last month (plus Mercury Retrograde) were hitting Miley’s Venus placement pretty hard. There’s been tons of action in her love life coming toward her at breakneck speed, so it makes sense she felt overwhelmed and needed to take a step back. Also, all this Leo season energy has been sending harsh vibes to Miley’s Moon (feelings) and Mercury (thoughts) as well, so her head and heart have been pushed to their limits. She’s also recently expressed her distaste for being called “wife”, which makes sense with her Sagittarius Sun—when she feels restricted, she’ll do anything to break free.
Mercury Retrograde and the eclipses were majorly hitting Liam’s chart too. Remember that Capricorn stellium of his? Well, all five of those planets have been getting smacked around all summer long! He’s also going through what’s known as his Saturn Return, which happens to everyone from age 27 to 29. It’s a time in your life marked by trials, struggles, and hardships that make you undergo serious emotional growth. And to top it all off, all these planets in Leo have been hitting Liam’s Leo Moon too, so to say that his summer has been insanely emotional would be, uh, an understatement.
Liley has endured breakups before, so it’s unclear if this is really the end for them. Looking at their charts and the relationship patterns they’ve followed for the past several years, it’s safe to say that no matter what happens, Miley and Liam are going to remain best friends till the very end, even if the married life doesn’t suit them—but, ugh, they were so cute together. Anyway, BRB, I’ll be watching The Last Song on repeat and sobbing.
