Get In Your Element: Self-Care Based on the Element Leading Your Zodiac
by Maura
Whether you are led by the Earth, Fire, Air, or Water, a change in season is the perfect time for you to focus on yourself and your self-care! Here are some tips and tricks to help you ‘get in your element’ and feel refreshed and relaxed as we embark on the change in seasons!
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
You’re all about feeling grounded, Earth Sign! Afterall, the Earth is your guiding element! Choose some activities that help you to refocus your grounding and mindfulness as we transition into spring! Some ideas include yoga, mindful meditation, and breathing exercises. Your mind, body, and soul will feel connected and nourished by the time you give yourself to refocus and be in the present moment.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagitarrius
Ayyyy all my Fire Sign ladies put your hands in the air! We are getting closer to warmer weather, which is perfect for us to become one with the Sun! As a fellow Fire Sign myself, I know that I feel and look my best with a fresh, sun-kissed glow! If you are one of the fortunate ones that live in a climate already warm enough for beach weather, go outside and catch some rays, you lucky girl! If you live farther north like me, a great self-tanner will help you fake it until you make it! I personally love the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water in the shade Dark. The best part is that this tanner is not just for my fair-skinned ladies! The product is advertised as being a great way to smooth skin, reduce redness and hyperpigmentation, and enhance natural tones for the more melanated ladies, too! Whatever way you get your glow, grabbing that pocketful of sunshine will help bring some fiery feistiness to your spring season!
Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Two of my besties are Air Signs, as well as my mom! Their air helps my fire burn big and bright, so I love lending a hand to my Air Sign girlies. Just like your leading element, you are the wind that makes things move! You feel your best when you are busy and productive. A great way for you to refresh is to make yourself a list with tasks you want to do instead of those you have to do. Go throughout your day and check off those boxes as you complete that new workout video or hairstyle trend you’ve been dying to try. You will have the opportunity to take time for yourself while feeling accomplished at the same time, too!
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Hey, Water Signs! The warmer weather is a great time for you to take a dip in the pool or a fun ocean adventure! If you’re too far from the water, bring it to you! A nice, warm bubble bath will bring you to your happy place. As some of the more sensitive and emotional signs, it is totally okay to watch a sappy rom-com that brings the tears flowing, too. Get in touch with your emotions and let yourself flow strong and free like the ocean waves that guide you! Sometimes a good cry watching “A Walk to Remember” is the best way to cleanse your mind, body, and soul for a fresh new season. Just make sure you grab the tissues for that one!
Remember, that no matter what element guides you, self-care is always an essential practice. Check out one of my favorite Astrology books, The Little Book of Self-Care to find more self-care tips and tricks based on your specific sign, too! It’s available for all 12 signs of the zodiac to help you unwind and stay nurtured. Have a great week to my astrology enthusiasts!
XOXO,
