Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries needs to find their path to peace through physical exertion, “Moving energy or feelings is a matter of moving the body. Running or doing a challenging exercise will do wonders for the mind, leaving you with clarity and ways to move forward
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurans are urged to revert to ritual comforts. When emotions are running high or tensions are building, retreating to self-care is the best option. Whether it’s a 20-minute nap, drinking your favorite cup of tea, or doing a moisturizing sheet mask, these small rituals will help put you back into ease.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
For this Mercury-ruled moon, communication is key. You’ll find safety in a community, on or offline, Gemini. If you feel comfortable recording your woes and posting it on social media, go for that. On that same note, scrolling through accounts that make you feel inspired, like travel or lifestyle content can also help to release stress.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer moons may have sharpened instincts about what they need when a crisis crops up. Cheung advises, ” If there’s a hobby that brings you comfort, go do that. Whether it’s baking or going into a cocoon and watching rom-coms, because Cancer is ruled by the moon, people with this placement will have a specific idea on how to nurture and take care of themselves.”
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are advised to lead with and live by the principle of play, Do something creative or an activity that lets your inner child play! Think adult jungle gym or trampoline park. If all that seems too daunting, don’t underestimate a good dance session. Turn on your favorite song, and dance it out.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Scrub your way to emotional satisfaction is the name of the game for Virgos. Have you ever heard of stress cleaning? Work out the anxious energy with a cleaning or organizational task and before you know it you’ll be left with a home and mind free of clutter.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are advised to seek out the counsel and company of others after first establishing consent. Lean on a friend to vent about your struggles. Of course, make sure they can support you at this time. Being the friend who vents to people unwarranted isn’t the best idea if you want to keep your friend status.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
The moon is said to be in its fall in the sign of Scorpio and these lunar babies would do well to burn bright til the bad feelings are burned out. Cheung recommends, “Plot your revenge. Totally kidding! There are a few ways that Scorpio can relieve stress: one is with a consenting partner IYKYK and the other is taking a burning hot, hotter-than-the-sun shower, bath, or finding a steam room and hanging out there for a bit. Crying isn’t necessary but let it out if it comes up. And if you feel called to, do a combination of the two.”
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius moons can mitigate life’s highs and lows with detours of the mental and physical variety. Cheung tells the Post, “When things are rough, find a sweet escape which can mean planning a trip or booking a flight at a moment’s notice. Catch flights not feelings right? When the budget is tight, opt for a low escape like reading a thrilling book, or learning about a new subculture or esoteric philosophy to live by.”
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
As the moon sign of the proverbial grind, Capricorn can get right by getting to work. Cheung advises, “Go to your favorite spreadsheet or list and start checking off boxes. While I’m partly kidding, most of the time, the stress that eats away at a Capricorn moon is the feeling of losing control. At least in a spreadsheet you know all the variables, finding order in chaos is the only way a Capricorn Moon can feel stable after feeling unnerved.”
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Cheung recommends Aquarius goes out and gets it out, “Reach out to your greater community. Similar to Gemini, if you feel safe posting your feelings, go for that. If not, find your most eccentric and different-minded friend and ask them for their point of view. The more POVs Aquarius Moon gets, the easier it is for them to find different ways to look at their situation.
Pisces (February 19 - March 10)
Pisces is the domain of pain and poetry. With such a sensitive placement, Pisces need to separate themselves from others and turn on a favorite melancholy playlist with the hopes that they can let out wailing cries. If you are musical, play an instrument or sing those emotional power ballads.”
