Andromeda DavisEssential oils can enhance or balance our natural traits. Read on to discover the best essential oils for each Zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As a Fire sign, Aries is drawn to bold scents. A combination of lemon and rosemary works really well for Aries. The brightness of the lemon enhances focus, while vigorous rosemary gives your energy a boost. However, if Aries starts to feel burned out, switch to a soothing lavender essential oil.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Gentle, steadfast Taurus is an Earth sign that needs to stay grounded–literally. Green herbs like peppermint or oregano will make feel Taurus feel both comforted and energized. You can also try a few drops of cedarwood oil in a diffuser.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Geminis crave stimulation of all the senses. Their ever-changing personalities lead to finding a new favorite essential oil every week. To bring clarity and focus to flighty Gemini, add eucalyptus or basil oil to a diffuser and take some deep breaths.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancers are natural homebodies. Once they find a place that makes them feel safe, they’re difficult to budge. An anxious Cancer will benefit from sage or lavender. But if you’d like a boost to move outside your comfort zone, switch to invigorating peppermint.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Bold Leo needs an equally bold essential oil. A combination of ginger and lemon a great choice for fiery Leo. However, if you need to chill after a long day of ruling the world, switch to rose oil instead.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgos are prone to working too hard and being overly critical of themselves. Even Virgo needs some time to unwind, so turn down the lights and put a few drops of vetiver and ylang-ylang essential oils in your diffuser.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
As a Libra, you need to feel balanced to be your best self. That means using a variety of essential oils depending on your mood. If you’re stressed, frankincense is a great choice. If you’re feeling down, try a combo of bergamot and black pepper–just remember not to apply undiluted oils directly on your skin.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is a deeply passionate sign. They experience life turned up to 11 all the time, and that can be overwhelming. A blend of sensual oils like patchouli, jasmine, and lime will stimulate the senses without overloading them.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Sometimes, even energetic, adventurous Sagitarrius runs out of steam. If that happens, a natural boost from clary sage and sweet orange oils can help you keep going. Tea tree oil is also good for Sagittarians who need to restore mind and body before the next adventure.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Practical Capricorn works harder than almost anyone else on Earth. Try meditating in the morning while breathing in a blend of sandalwood and clove. That blend of oils will help you stay grounded and focused for the rest of the day.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Creative Aquarius can easily become overwhelmed by all those brilliant ideas. Chamomile is a gentle, calming essential oil. Add a couple of drops of lemon to the chamomile for extra energy to chase your dreams.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces needs more downtime than most Zodiac signs. They are natural empaths who can easily get burned out. Create a sanctuary in your bedroom with a soothing blend of sandalwood and lavender. Diffuse these oils right before bed–or even tuck a sachet with a few drops of lavender under your pillow–for the best sleep ever.
