Your New Year's Resolution, According to Your Astrological Sign
Published January 7th, 2022
Welcome, 2022. The new year is often seen as a fresh slate and a moment in time to make big changes to our routines, especially in the realm of wellness. However, according to ancient modalities like astrology, the real time for cleansing and renewal doesn’t kick off until spring, also known as fiery Aries season. That said, the collective instinct at the start of January, mixed with the natural craving for hibernation during these dormant months, means we’re able to invest in our well-being without the energetic demands of the outside world. But we all know that making (and keeping) the resolution that’s right for each of us, can be daunting to say the least. Luckily, your horoscope can lend a hand in choosing the resolution that feels most natural.
Below, find your 2022 wellness tip based on your astrological Sun sign. Each action is small, achievable, and can ultimately create the momentum to build your best year yet.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
You’re a cardinal fire energy, which can translate to a competitive nature, someone who takes initiative, and strives to challenge yourself—especially in self-care. Turn up the dial and sweat it out in an infrared sauna, or choose something more active like Hot Pilates.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
Taurus is a sturdy, sensual Earth sign who favors the arts. Wellness takes many shapes under this sign; join a stimulating book club or exchange music with friends.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 21)
Quick-witted and curious, your nature tends to get bored easily. This means you might burn out quickly if you make too many promises about sticking to a single plan. Instead of feeling guilty about the lack of follow-through, set yourself up for success by exploring options that celebrate variety, like multidisciplinary wellness platforms like Soulunity and Obé. Both offer a mix of meditation, breathwork, movement, and other modalities.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
Connected to the moon and naturally introverted, you are a sensitive water sign that derives inner balance from building out a comforting home. Develop the ultimate routine that calms your nervous system by lighting a candle and practice breathing out of your left nostril for a few minutes each day.
LEO
(July 23-August 22)
As a fire sign, you’re expressive, vibrant, and love an audience even while taking care of yourself. Sign up for a group dance class, an ideal activity to balance play with presence.
VIRGO
(August 23-September 22)
You are the sign ruled by the digestive system and related to physical health and routine. Commit to prioritizing your gut health by adding fermented foods to your meals, which will help to cultivate good bacteria in your gut and balance mood, metabolism, and energy reserves. Some of our favorites include kimchi, apple cider vinegar, and high-quality organic yogurt.
LIBRA
(September 23-October 23)
Ruled by the sense of touch, your core tenets hone in on beauty and balance. Feel into your subtle body by adding acupressure ear seeds to your routine. These pressure points can help stimulate an anti-inflammatory response and encourage restful sleep.
SCORPIO
(October 24-November 21)
Among the zodiac, you champion the unknown and what lies beneath. Explore the mystery of your subconscious mind by journaling first thing in the morning for 30 days, and observe your deepest thoughts. And since they are your deepest thoughts…feel free to burn after writing.
SAGITTARIUS
(November 22-December 21)
As a worldly, mutable fire sign, consider a resolution that’s equally unexpected. Break from routine and opt out of coffee, exploring other morning beverages and tonics: think matcha, dandelion root, or guayusa.
CAPRICORN
(December 22-January 19)
The ambitious sea-goat is eager to get things done even in the midst of hibernation. Related to skin, hair, and teeth, your sign’s glow can be activated by incorporating a healing brew like bone broth to your regimen. Learn how to make your own or order a high-quality batch that’s pre-made and ready to sip.
AQUARIUS
(January 20-February 18)
It’s all about rebellion and intellectual freedom for Aquarians. Channel this buzzing energy by getting a mini trampoline, and bounce for fifteen minutes while supporting the lymphatic system.
PISCES
(February 19-March 20)
Pisces loves to connect with the mystic and the emotional. This star sign is related to the pineal gland and feet. If you’re able, seek out nature whenever possible and dig your toes into the Earth. The nerve endings on your feet, once connected to dirt, sand, water, grass, gravel, etc., can help to reduce inflammation in the body.
