Aries (March 21st-April 19th)
Playful yet competitive, Aries signs are known to work well with others but not without the lingering desire to be number one. Those with Aries in their chart are known to be stubborn, even with their own health which can lead to chronic stress and feelings of anxiety if left unmanaged.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Because Aries people tend to work well in groups and enjoy engaging in friendly competition, you may find it beneficial to engage in some sort of sports team or We team based activity. For instance, you could sign up for a boxing class, as this is an effective way to embrace your astrological characteristics and mitigate feelings of stress.
Taurus (April 20th-May 20th)
Represented by the bull symbol, Taurus’s replicate their celestial spirit animal with their strength, stability, and stubborn attitude. As an Earth sign, Taurus people enjoy connecting with their environments and ground themselves in the world around them. Don’t be mistaken, this zodiac sign still loves to self-indulge with materialistic items and tasty treats. Taurus people pride themselves on comfort and are typically known as the “foodie” of the zodiac signs.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: The value that Taurus’s place on comfort and food makes them prone to issues like high blood pressure and weight gain. To avoid these concerns and continue to be the foodie you are, consider signing up for a health, diet, nutrition course online, or even an in-person cooking class! Having something you physically attend will make it easier for you to push past your comfort zone and enjoy learning about the thing you love most—food. Plus, it’ll teach you how to create tasty meals and desserts using ingredients that align with your well-being.
Gemini (May 21st-June 20th)
Geminis are multitaskers, which makes sense seeing as they’re represented by the twin symbol. The duality of this zodiac sign allows them to see all sides and perspectives in most situations and is popular amongst their peers. They’re also ruled by Mercury, or the planet that rules by communication, so it’s no wonder that they’re thought to be social butterflies and prolific workers.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: You may find yourself a part of many projects, social gatherings, and other activities as an unpredictable Gemini. Although this constant juggle may be something your zodiac sign was born to handle, it’s still essential to take time for yourself throughout the week. Get into the habit of scheduling some “me time” in your weekly calendar, even if only for thirty minutes. Use this time to self-reflect on yourself and the world around you. Remember, self-care and mental health go hand-and-hand, so doing this will allow you to organize your thoughts more clearly, and help you be more decisive in your life—something that most Gemini’s usually struggle with.
Cancer (June 21st-July 22nd)
More often than not, Cancers are thought of as hermits, living up to their celestial spirit animal and symbol in astrology, the crab. Even though Cancers are still willing to participate in a party or a night on the town, their family-oriented and emotional nurturing tendencies naturally causes them to be more of a homebody. Like the other water signs (Scorpio and Pisces), Cancers are very intuitive and have high emotional intelligence. This causes people of this zodiac sign to sometimes be moody, avoidant, and extremely self-protective.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: A great way to ensure that you’re feeling safe and happy within your personal space is to get into the habit of creating and following routines. This will serve to provide structure and stability to your daily life and keep you productive in your living space, thereby detoxing your home for positive energy. This could be something as simple as following a daily skincare regimen or as complex as weekly meal prepping. Find out what works best for you and brings you the most comfort. Then, take advantage of the ways in which it affects your health.
Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd)
Roll out the red carpet—the Leos have arrived! Symbolized by the fierce and ferocious lion, Leos are both headstrong and love to be the center of attention. Even though they can at times be lazy, people with this fire sign are generally regarded as a leader, inspiring others with their magnetic energy and endless courage and ambition.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Although Leos are fearless leaders with a heart of gold, they’re need for spotlight causes them to sometimes be reliant on the motivation of others. That’s why improving your health with the guidance of a personal trainer is recommended if you are the lion of the zodiac. Getting into the habit of working out regularly will be much easier if you have the attention of a certified professional. Not only will their expertise work to strengthen your immune system, but it’ll also work to keep you motivated, allowing you to effortlessly care for your well-being.
Virgo (August 23rd-September 22nd)
Virgos are arguably the most detail-oriented of the zodiac signs, being exact with almost everything that they do. Known for their professional organizational skills and perfectionist mentality, Virgo people are thought to be picky about almost everything. On one hand, this causes them to occasionally be too critical of others and themselves, which may cause them to have difficulty overcoming negative self-talk. On the other hand, their keen eye for detail also makes them reliable, observant, practical, and modest.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: What better way to embody astrological characteristics than by utilizing to-do lists and other useful tools like Google Calendars? Adopting these rituals into your everyday routine will allow you to take advantage of your astrological abilities by helping you stay methodical with your approach to life and the different tasks you take on from week to week. Plus, there’s few things better than checking off your to-dos after a long day, particularly if you’re a Virgo, meaning gratitude and overall satisfaction with life will also come more instinctively.
Libra (September 23rd-October 22nd)
Maintaining thoughtful relationships and balance throughout their life are two components that are imperative to the Libra zodiac sign. Fascinated by the great outdoors and the people around them, Libras have a love for all things beautiful. As an artistic sign, Libras have an act for their communication skills and know how to work a crowded room when they want to with their charm, creativity, and persuasion.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Channeling your need for equilibrium in all areas of your life can be done through the adoption of various health habits. Firstly, connecting with nature is always a good idea when you need to hit the spiritual reset button as a Libra. It can work to ease your mind and reflect on your own perspectives, rather than the ones of those around you. Additionally, since relationships are paramount to you as a Libra, you may also find it useful to schedule a weekly night in with your friends and family. Doing something fun together like having a paint and sip night at home can be a unique way to play to your zodiac interests and enjoy the company of the people you love most.
Scorpio (October 23rd-November 21st)
Scorpios share an emotional intelligence like the other water signs (Cancer and Pisces), the only difference being that this zodiac sign tends to be more intense than the other two. They’re intuitive, serious, secretive, and passionate, which can sometimes cause them to have vindictive behavior. Generally speaking though, Scorpios are super loyal individuals who are able to bounce back quickly and put on a good face, even in the toughest of times.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Just because you’re able to put on a brave face and move forward from difficult situations, doesn’t mean you’ve emotionally recovered from them. That’s why you’ll want to adopt a healthy habit that takes a head on approach in dealing with your emotional intensity. Like Leos, Scorpio people thrive in competitive spaces, so engaging in an activity like martial arts or another intramural sports team could be efficient when it comes to managing stress or the other negative emotions you often burden yourself with.

Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)
Sagittarius people are truth seekers, meaning they’re guided by their interest in philosophy and knowledge of the unknown. This, combined with their notoriously energetic and optimistic attitude can oftentimes lead to a strong online presence. Whether it be for the purpose of social media engagement or random online scrolling, you can count on a Sagittarius to be involved with it all. And while there’s nothing wrong with embracing the digital world we live in as part of their quest to learn more, it’s important to be mindful of the effects it can have on their health, especially as it relates to this astrological sign.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: The Sagittarius sign is associated with vision, making them more vulnerable to developing eye conditions at some point or another throughout their lives. That said, if you identify as this zodiac sign, it may be in your best interest to monitor the number of hours you spend online as eye strain is a common issue that many people experience as a result of too much screen time, regardless if they’re a Sagittarius or not. As an added safety measure, wear glasses that filter out blue light to combat eye strain and further protect your eye health now and in the future.
Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th)
Capricorns are always up for forming new habits that serve in their best interest. Career-driven, hardworking, and ambitious, this zodiac sign is always looking to improve themselves so that they can achieve their goals in the short and long term. They’re responsible, practical, polite, and friendly people who are devoted to doing better for not only themselves but their loved ones as well.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Since goal setting is already something you’re familiar with, you should have no problem executing this healthy habit! To continue to reach your best self, try to write different goals in a notebook. Weekly goals, monthly goals, and yearly goals can allow you to become the person you’ve always wanted to be more quickly and give you a chance to reflect on how far you’ve come along the way. To ensure prosperity and success, you can also introduce positive daily affirmations into your routine as these can work to manifest your dreams, no matter how crazy they may seem.
Aquarius (January 20th-February 18th)
Aquarians are some of the most unique individuals out there, as their zodiac sign is all about being creative and non-conforming. Despite the originality and the independence of Aquarians, people with this zodiac sign still like to be very involved in their community and give back to those around them. In fact, this zodiac sign is thought to be the “humanitarian” in astrology, constantly leading with a positive mindset and offering a helping hand to others when they can.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Any healthy habit you adopt that gives back to your community is one well-suited for you and your astrological needs. Volunteering for a local school district once a week or working a few shifts for rescue shelters and/or other events for non-profit organizations in your neighborhood could greatly serve to support your humanitarian instincts and the community around you.
Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)
Characterized as intuitive, compassionate, and dreamy all around, Pisces people are one of the most creative signs in astrology. They usually partake in a creative outlet, whether that be drawing, poetry, or writing. Not surprisingly, this water sign can also be quite sensitive, but loves to love and give back to other people.
Healthy Habit to Adopt: Those of you who identify as Pisces may find yourself daydreaming more times than not. There is no shame in this, however, doing so too often may wind up taking away from your reality and ability to live within the present moment. To help keep you grounded, you may also want to pick up a mindfulness practice such as yoga or meditation. Both activities can allow you to better understand the emotional depth you carry and be more in tune with yourself as a whole.
There are many zodiac sign health tips and lifestyle habits that you can follow that’ll help you lead a healthier, happier life, which is why it’s so important to acknowledge the science written in the stars for you. Having an in-depth understanding of the specific ways your zodiac sign affects your health will prove to be more beneficial in more ways than one.
