Self-Care for the Signs

Mercury Retrograde is finally over! Now that the planet is direct again, we can all take a sigh of relief and start to relax. Maybe you’ve experienced some delays, miscommunications, and stress the past few weeks. Luckily, those days are behind us now and we have entered Pisces season! To make these next few weeks count, here’s some self-care ideas for your zodiac sign.

Capricorn:

You’re a planner, Capricorn. While your knack for persistence and hard work does not go unrecognized, it’s time to take a break! You should spend some time this week to reorganize. Whether it’s reorganizing your schedule, your closet, or your book collection, this fresh start might be just what you need.

Aquarius:

Hi airy, Aquarius! Let your energy flow this week and get creative. There’s no rules in the creative world. Splatter paint a canvas, draw some abstract faces, or rearrange your room. You hate structure and routine, so act on your impulses this week and do what feels best for you!

Pisces:

How are you doing, Pisces? As one of the most emotional signs, mercury retrograde hit you hard didn’t it? Now that we’re in your sign, why don’t you take this week to wind down and feel your emotions. This could be a good time to journal and resolve any messy emotions still lingering in your thoughts.

Aries:

Fiery Aries, let’s see what’s in store for you this week. You are a confident and charismatic sign. Socialize with friends and family this week. So much of your energy comes from being around others and taking charge, consider planning a fun day for you and your favorite people. If you’re not in a going out mood, with your childish nature get back into some old movies or games from your childhood at home instead!

Taurus:

Taurus, another emotional sign. Okay, maybe you aren’t as emotional as the water signs. Remember that you deserve rest Taurus. Treat yourself to a nap, or maybe a nice bath this week. And if you do take a bath make sure to have all the essentials: bath bombs or bath salts, candles, and maybe even some bubble bath. Chill out for this week.

Gemini:

You have an intellectual mind Gemini. Satisfy the twins this week by delving into your interests. When’s the last time you did your favorite hobby? Use this week to stimulate your mind, whether you read a book, learn something new, have deep talks with your friends, or pick up that old instrument sitting in the corner make sure you’re enriching your mind.

Cancer:

Why so crabby, Cancer? It’s time for a “you” week. Curl up at home and spend some quality time with yourself. You are most comfortable in your shell, so now is the perfect time to focus on you. Make some comfort meals and find joy in being alone this week.

Leo:

If anyone knows self-care Leo, it’s you. This week is a great time for you to start a new skin or hair care routine. Now that we’re out of retrograde and big decisions can be made again, maybe it’s even time for a haircut and color! Make yourself feel confident like the fiery Leo that you are.

Virgo:

Creative and hardworking, I see video games in your future Virgo. Specifically, games like The Sims or Animal Crossing would be perfect for you this week. Something that lets your creativity flow while also working towards a goal is right up your alley! You can take control of your own fantasy world, and create endless possibilities for yourself.

Libra:

You are a soft sign, Libra. With a mind that gets so easily tired, you should set some time aside for yourself to do absolutely nothing. Well, okay, maybe watch a movie or listen to some music but otherwise… rest your mind and body this week. Don’t commit to plans or big outings right now.

Scorpio:

Oh hello there you secretive Scorpio. While you might like to keep your own secrets to yourself, you love hearing other’s. So this week I’m suggesting you get into some drama. No, don’t start it yourself please. How about watching some reality t.v. or catching up on gossip with your friends instead?

Sagittarius:

You appreciate freedom, Sagittarius. Let yourself be free this week by spending time outdoors. A hike or walk around the neighborhood is the perfect way to revitalize your sense. Be at peace with the sounds and sights of nature this week. Since you’re such an independent sign, consider either using this time to reflect on yourself, or to make sure your independence isn’t getting the best of you and invite a friend!

No matter what your sign is, let’s all just be thankful to be out of retrograde and entering a new Zodiac!
