Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries thrives on momentum and a good challenge, so your resolutions work best when they feel bold and exciting. Set goals that let you take the lead—career moves, fitness goals, personal “firsts”—but build in ways to stay consistent, not just fired up for a week. The key for you is balancing your drive to win with space for real rest and connection so you don’t burn out while you’re chasing that next level.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus does best with resolutions that promise long-term comfort, stability, and pleasure. New-year goals around money, self-worth, body care, and creating a beautiful, calm home are especially powerful for you. Change doesn’t have to be dramatic; small, steady upgrades that make your life feel more secure and sensual are where you really shine.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini needs variety and stimulation, so your resolutions should keep your mind engaged, not boxed in. Learning something new, starting a creative project, exploring fresh social circles, or sharpening your communication skills can all capture that new-year buzz for you. If your goals leave room to switch things up and follow your curiosity, you’re way more likely to keep going.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

For Cancer, the new year is all about emotional security and feeling at home in your own life. Resolutions that strengthen your inner world—better self-care, healthier boundaries, and deeper connections with your favorite people—are especially powerful. This is your moment to rearrange your space, your schedule, and your energy so they actually nurture you back.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo loves a glow-up moment, and the new year is prime time. Your best resolutions center around confidence, creativity, and being seen for who you are. Whether it’s stepping into a talent, refreshing your look, or taking up more space in your career or love life, your goals should help you feel lit from within. When you’re excited about yourself, you naturally keep the promises you make.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo is built for habits and systems, so resolutions can actually be your superpower—if you don’t use them to beat yourself up. Aim for realistic, supportive routines around health, work, and mental clarity. Tiny daily shifts, not massive overnight overhauls, help you feel cleaner, clearer, and more in control. Let “better” be enough instead of chasing “perfect.”

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra’s new-year energy is all about balance, connection, and beauty. Your resolutions land best when they bring more harmony into your relationships and your environment. That might mean choosing healthier partnerships, speaking up more honestly, or designing a life that looks and feels like you—social plans, wardrobe, home, and all. When your world is aesthetically and emotionally aligned.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio doesn’t do surface-level change; you’re here for full transformation. New-year resolutions around healing, intimacy, power, and release are especially potent for you. This is your time to let go of what’s draining you—old habits, toxic dynamics, money patterns—and commit to what feels true, even if it’s intense.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius meets the new year like boarding a plane: ready for the next adventure. Resolutions that expand your world—travel, study, new philosophies, big risks—are your sweet spot. You need goals that feel like freedom, not punishment. When your resolutions point you toward more meaning, more experiences, and more honesty about what you really want, you’ll chase them with your whole heart.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

For Capricorn, New Year’s might as well be a personal holiday. You’re wired for structure, long-term plans, and serious ambition, so goals around career, finances, and long-term security are natural for you. The twist: include your emotional and physical well-being in the plan. When your resolutions honor both your success and your sanity, you become unstoppable in a way that actually feels good.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius sees the new year as a chance to reinvent the script. Your resolutions are strongest when they’re future-focused and tied to your ideals—community, justice, originality, and progress. Whether you’re changing how you work, how you connect, or how you contribute to the world, your goals should feel innovative and authentic. The more a resolution reflects your true, weird, wonderful self, the easier it is to stick with.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces feels new-year energy like a shift in the tides: subtle but powerful. Resolutions that honor your imagination, sensitivity, and spiritual side are especially healing—creative projects, rest, rituals, and kinder self-talk. You do best with gentle structures that keep you grounded without crushing your flow. When your goals protect your energy and give your dreams somewhere to land, your life starts to quietly transform.
