Aries: Exercise
As the first sign of the zodiac, you have the essence and energy of a young child, dear Aries. Also, as a fire sign, you are very passionate and physical. You, perhaps more than any other zodiac, need regular exercise to relieve tension and improve your mood. The endorphins from a brisk run, gym session, or even just a few jumping jacks at home will give you the emotional boost you desire.
Taurus: Eat Something
You are the first star to be hangry, dear Taurus, and you probably know yourself well enough to carry snacks with you at all times. Eating something, even if it’s just a few bites to sustain you until your next meal, will prevent any depression or fatigue. If you need a big emotional boost, order a decadent meal from your favorite restaurant. For a little pick-me-up, be sure to keep plenty of granola bars, candy, or another sweet treat in your purse.
Gemini: A Journal
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intelligence, you always have a lot of complex thoughts swirling around in your head, clever Gemini. You are a good talker, so why not use that skill to make yourself feel better? Writing about your feelings will help reduce stress on your head and nervous system. Talking to a close friend or therapist can also provide some relief.
Cancer: Take a nap
As a sign ruled by the Moon, sweet Cancer, you are a creature of the night. You may also have difficulty maintaining a regular sleep schedule, as you feel safer and more at home after dark. You enjoy and benefit from sleep more than most other zodiacs, so allow yourself a little sleep to feel better. Even if you’ve been awake for a few hours (or even minutes), sometimes it’s better to go back to bed and start the day later.
Leo: Sunset
The Sun has magical healing powers (not to mention Vitamin D), especially for you, happy Leo. The Sun is your ruling celestial body, so you are very sensitive to cold, cloudy weather. If you go without sunlight for a long time, you start to wither like a flower. Spending time in the sun gives you a quick boost of energy, and if there’s no sun to be found, getting into a bright red bed or using a light therapy lamp will do wonders for you.
Virgo: Clean or Organize something
Some zodiacs hate cleaning, but not you, meticulous Virgo. You feel free, accomplished, and empowered by taking care of the messes. Save yourself from tackling a major cleaning or organizing project, or simply set a timer for 15 minutes and quickly pick up your home or workplace. You also love taking care of your health, so if cleansing doesn’t work for you, cooking (and eating) nutritious meals should do the trick.
Libra: Call a friend
As one of the social signs of the zodiac, sweet Libra, your relationships are very important to you. You don’t like being alone for a long time, and being left talking about unpleasant thoughts is not good for you. If you suffer from low spirits, call a friend. Either talk about your problems over the phone or meet in person for a fun, relaxing time. And, when all else fails, you know a little retail therapy always works for you – bring a friend along on your shopping trip, or browse the internet together for an extra boost.
Scorpio: Solve the Puzzle
The wheels in your mind are always turning, cunning Scorpio, and sometimes you consider yourself a black hole. If you’re in a bad mood, try using some of that brain power on a fun distraction. You love solving mysteries and puzzles, so tune in to a true crime podcast or play a puzzle game with someone you love. Using your sharp mind to solve a riddle will not only take your mind off things but also give you a sense of satisfaction that boosts your mood.
Sagittarius: Plan a Trip
You love to travel more than anything, powerful Sagittarius, and not having your next trip booked makes you happy. You don’t have to spend money on a vacation right now to feel better – just thinking about your dream trip or starting the planning process is enough to boost your mood. Create an idea board for your next trip, start checking ticket prices, or talk to a friend about it. Create a special savings jar or account to save for your next trip. You can even look at old photos of past trips you’ve taken for pick-me-up inspiration.
Capricorn: Buy Something
You’re a hard-working, intelligent Capricorn, but you don’t indulge in the material things you love nearly as often as you could. Because of Saturn, your ruling planet, you tend to be overly restrictive. If you’re feeling low on dopamine, it’s okay to spend a little – after all, you’ve earned it! Throw on that cashmere sweater you’ve been eyeing, or make a reservation at that fancy new restaurant.
Aquarius: Screen Time
You have a difficult relationship with technology, a paradoxical Aquarius. Uranus, your main ruling planet, blesses you with talents in the world of technology, and you are good at adapting to new things. However, with Saturn as your second ruling planet, you tend to limit anything too exciting or habit-forming. If you need a quick mood boost, it’s okay to engage in favorite video games, phone puzzles, or scroll through social media. Let your guilt go and enjoy the dopamine hit that comes with less screen time.
Pisces: Take a shower
As both a water sign and a fish zodiac, dreamy Pisces, you are in your element of water. While you may choose a swim in the ocean or a day at the pool, a hot bubble bath will do just the trick. Use salt, oil, or a bath bomb to make the experience more comfortable. Reduce your negative mood and let your problems wash away.
