Andromeda DavisIf you’re thinking about taking up a new hobby, there’s no better time to start than the present. But what should you try? There are limitless ways to be creative, so we thought we’d make things a little easier by looking at your Zodiac sign’s aspects and making some suggestions.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As an Aries, there’s something very appealing to you about playing with fire. Have you ever thought about taking a blacksmithing class? The time-honored craft is having a renaissance lately, and for good reason. It’s fun and rewarding–and a pretty good workout, too.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus, there’s nothing more satisfying than playing in the dirt. If you aren’t already a gardener, you have just enough time to start planning for spring. Even if you don’t have a yard, you can create an urban garden with potted plants.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini, your challenge is not discovering a new hobby, but in sticking with something long enough to get good at it. You tend to flit from one thing to the next, so I challenge you to stick with whatever your current interest may be for the next three months just to see what happens.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Although you appreciate beautiful handmade things, you’re not sure that you have the skill to make them yourself. That’s okay, Cancer! Instead of picking up a craft hobby, we’d encourage you to try out a social, body-oriented hobby like swing dancing or salsa.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leo, you already love to people-watch, so why not take up photography as a new hobby? Sure, you’ve already mastered the art of the perfect selfie, but there’s so much more to it than that. Consider taking a class–or at least watching some videos online–to start developing your skills.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
More than most people, Virgo, you are in desperate need of a hobby. Luckily, there are quite a few out there that would suit your need to make order out of chaos. You might find that counted cross stitch is a particularly soothing way to pass the time.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, considering how much you love good food, isn’t it about time you learned how to cook it? Taking cooking classes, watching videos or breaking out cookbooks to explore new recipes is a wonderful hobby for a gourmet soul like you.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, your hobbies tend to be a little bit edgy. Maybe even dangerous. Bladesmithing or axe-throwing both come to mind. However, you might also enjoy subversive cross stitch, where artists use traditional patterns and liven them up with rude words.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Great news, Sagittarius! You can brew your own beer (or kombucha, if that’s more your stride) at home without too much hassle or expense! You’ll get to express yourself creatively and make something delicious to enjoy with your friends. What more could you want?
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
If you’re going to spend your time on something, it better result in a useful, practical piece. That’s why woodworking is such a great choice for Capricorn. It requires precision and patience, but there’s still endless room for creativity.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Yes, Aquarius, even you need downtime occasionally. Painting or drawing is a good choice for such an artistic and expressive soul like you. However, you might also find that a more physical hobby, such as martial arts, is good for balancing out your energy.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
It can be tough to quiet your busy mind sometimes, Pisces, which is why taking up a meditative hobby is a good choice. Many people find pottery to be incredibly relaxing, so why not find an afternoon class and try it out?
