We’ve only got this one planet to call home. We’ve only got this one life to live. (Well, sort of, but that’s for another article…) In times of uncertainty and political strife, we all have a responsibility to step up and do our part to make the world a better place. So how can you help?
Check out the breakdown below to see what causes you might have a passion for, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
With your desire to lead the charge and grab attention (and rise up against authority), defending our right to gather and protest is a passion of yours, Aries. Whether you’re marching on Washington or just speaking up the loudest on social media, you’ll make sure your voice—and ours—is heard.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
While your style might generally be a bit more home-based, Taurus, there are a few things that will get your riled up and out of the house. Like threats to our environment, the thought of people going hungry, and lack of access to clean water. Nobody goes hungry in your house.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re intellectually curious, Gemini, and value the right to make your own decisions and speak your mind. When others aren’t afforded the same rights, it cuts you deep. You might very well be leading the fight against the suppression of minority voices and voters.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A born nurturer, nothing upsets you more than seeing others without safe and stable homes, Cancer. Taking up the cause for safe and affordable housing, shelters for the under-served, and sanctuary for refugees could come quite naturally to you.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
You’re fond of the spotlight, Leo, but you want others to have their time to shine as well. Hearing about funding cuts of the arts, whether on a local or national level, gets you fired up. Where would we be without art education in schools, public television, libraries, or community theater?
You could safeguard the future of artistic little lions everywhere by becoming a patron, and champion, of the arts.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
It takes a keen mind to identify the flaws in our complicated healthcare system, Virgo. But the thought of people being denied care due to negligence and corruption in the system is inexcusable. Healthcare reform might be the cause you were born to champion.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Your calling in life is to see fairness, balance, and ethics manifest in this crazy mixed-up world. And it’s needed nowhere as much as our political system, Libra. Brighten the future of society as we know it by fighting things like corruption, voter fraud, and shady campaign financing and lobbying.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, you’ve got a protective, if dark, streak. And you’d be lying if you said that revenge fantasies weren’t a thing for you from time to time. So of course you’d be passionate about helping the victims of assault and racial discrimination see justice.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You’re a free thinker and philosopher, Sag, and nothing seems so much an injustice to you as people who are kept from an education—whether because they can’t afford it or are straight-up denied it. You strongly believe everyone should have equal access to a good education if they want it, and are willing to fight for that plight.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
You work hard for your money, Capricorn, and there’s no shame in demanding what you rightfully earned. And you won’t stand by and watch other people be exploited, either. Equal pay for equal work is a necessary piece of a functioning society, and you’ll make sure everyone knows it.
Aquarius (January 21-February 20)
Aquarius, if you’ve got one trigger, it’s seeing people be judged for simply being themselves. It hits a little too close to home for you. That’s why many of you are tireless defenders of the LGBTQ+ community. The world is only a safe and fair place if everyone is protected.
Pisces (February 21-March 20)
Peace and beauty mean everything to you, Pisces, and you fundamentally cannot understand the justification of war. Your sensitive personality makes you a staunch opponent of human rights violations. Look for volunteer opportunities with organizations that deliver humanitarian aid to war-torn countries.
