[5:11] LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are the royalty of the zodiac, and are known for their playfulness, high-energy, and creativity. You are the one at the parties basking in the spotlight and celebrating yourself. But when the bright-burning flame of Leo burns out… They are done for the day.
Morning Ritual: Tap into your creativity in the mornings. You can do this through writing, choosing a bold outfit, or singing to your favourite songs in the shower. Your morning ritual is never boring because you always show up playful and ready to step into the spotlight. In fact you can do so by jumping on insta stories or posting that new TikTok.
Evening Ritual: As a social lion(ess) you are, incorporating others into your evening routine with a dinner party, a games night, or a social gathering would be an ideal evening ritual. Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to mean a party every night of the week, it could also mean family dinner followed by a quick game of Catan or cards or maybe charades! Perhaps you FaceTime a friend before bed, or maybe an online game before resting your head for a long, deep sleep.
[6:35] VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo’s approach life logically, practically, and systematically. You are very task-oriented and enjoy being busy. It seems as though you’ve always got one eye on the to-do list and you’ve already started making tomorrow’s to-do list. Tidiness, organization, and personal development are very important to you.
Morning Ritual: Your to-do list is already organized and ready for the day. Of course you have a solid morning routine mapped out, but self-care needs to be prioritized if you’re going to take on the day with precision. Make your bed, take a few mindful breaths, set your daily intention, and take your time with your hygiene routine so that your mind is sharp and clear first thing in the day.
Evening Ritual: If you haven’t already done so Virgo, the evening is the perfect time for you to cross off your to-do lists for today. Wrap up any lingering tasks and then prepare your goals and action steps for tomorrow. Before heading up to bed, “kiss your kitchen good-night” by cleaning up the last of the dinner dishes, wiping down the countertops, and perhaps putting out your coffee mug and spoon for the next morning. Spend time winding down with a self-help book, your journal, or listening to an inspiring podcast.
[8:15] LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras adore high art, intellectualism, connoisseurship, and aesthetics. Appearance and one-on-one connection are important to you. You value putting effort and attention into how you look, as well as real conversations.
Morning Ritual: You know that the morning is important for setting the tone for the day, and your morning is all about creating balance. You do this through your daily yoga practice or tai chi. After your sun salutations and breathwork, spend time putting yourself together, from hair to makeup, your whole outfit, and anything in between. Now you’re ready to take on the day with confidence.
Evening Ritual: An ideal evening for you dear Libra would be to connect with your partner, FaceTime a friend, write a letter, or send a handmade card. It’s also the perfect time for you to put down your phone, pick up the latest fiction novel or travel magazine and be transported to another place. Before you escape mentally, lay out your well-thought out outfit for tomorrow.
[9:39] SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio is a passionate, intuitive and emotional water sign. You are known to be a little psychic and/or clairvoyant at times. Although this has it’s advantages, it can also leave you feeling quite emotionally drained and exhausted because you tend to take on the energy of others. Speaking of energy you are not afraid to work hard for your goals and are in it for the long game.
Morning Ritual: Intensity and extremes excite you so why not incorporate that into your morning. Pick your poison each morning, a cold shower, a HIIT class, or a list of hairy scary goals to take on today. You are a force of energy and your intention is to THRIVE, but don’t get caught up in other people’s ish… protect yourself with a mindful meditation covering your aura and not letting other people’s energy latch on like a leech to your determination.
Evening Ritual: Connect to your element Scorpio and soak in a warm bath. Line the tub with some candles, or get out some epsom salts, essential oils and crystals to conjure up a little relaxation and release potion for your soak. This will help you leave any heaviness for the day behind you as well as reconnect to your power for a more restful sleep. For a quicker version of this ritual, have a shower before bed and visualize the energy and emotions you carry washing off your body and aura. Then light a candle before bed and write your gratitudes in your journal.
[11:55] SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius is honest, intellectual, and optimistic. You are a lover of freedom, beauty, inspiration and contemplation. Hilarious, honest, and usually with a lot of your friends; socializing and collaborative activities bring you joy. You have lots of energy and enjoy getting physical and going on adventures.
Morning Ritual: Good morning Sagittarius, spontaneity is calling your name. Take a new route to work, press shuffle on your podcast playlist, or open to a random page in your book on motivational quotes. Oh and wake up a little earlier so you can tap into your soul’s cravings and indulge in last-minute adventures. Each morning has its own workout and you’re usually meeting a friend to try the latest class and the hottest studios.
Evening Ritual: Your ideal evening ritual combines your need for movement and beauty by taking a walk or doing a yoga practice under the stars. Of course you love the company, so invite a friend or your partner and appreciate the sparkling evening sky together. The evening is a wonderful time for you to catch up on the next episode of a docu-series you’ve been watching, and journal, before your mindfulness/meditation practice before snuggling into bed.
[13:31] CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Of all the zodiac signs Capricorn is the hardest-working. You are ambitious, determined, strong, and value getting ahead in life. You can multitask like a pro and you’ve always got a project going on whether that be at home or at work.
Morning Ritual: Your ideal morning starts with organization. Write out your list of everything you want to accomplish. Prioritize your list, then schedule your tasks into the calendar, because as you know: what gets scheduled is what gets done. Kickstart your motivated morning with a quick cardio class and tackle the tasks list.
Evening Ritual: The evening for you is about spending time wrapping up your projects. Once the boxes are checked off for your work tasks, you can take care of the personal projects and give the attention to your home, or perhaps an upcoming trip. Getting ish done helps you relax and if there is still time leftover in the day before the pillow calls your name, you can fish off the book you’ve been reading on your nightstand, or pack your gym bag, lunch bag, and work bag to make for a more productive morning the next day.
