We are living in a time when people are exploring all kinds of new interests and hobbies – but for some, it can be a real challenge to know how to get started – with so many options, how do you know just which one you’d like to explore?
Some people enjoy the tried and tested method of simply doing new things until they stumble upon one they like – which is an excellent investment when it comes to getting to know yourself better, but can take a fair amount of time.
To save you time, money and maybe a little frustration though, we’ve put together our list of hobbies you should try – by consulting the zodiac! If you’d like to leap into a hobby which will bring you a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from an astrology point of view, read on!
Of course, a natal chart is a many-layered complex thing. If you are a Taurus Sun, for example, you’ll be drawn to the hobby suggested for Taurus. But if there is a lot of Taurus in your natal chart, or you are a Taurus Rising or Taurus Moon, you’ll also benefit from it.
Read on to find out more about the hobbies you should try at home!
For the more sporty Aries, HIIT workouts at home are strongly recommended. These workouts require short bursts of intense energy and don’t tend to last very long – this matches the energy of this feisty sign as they have a tendency to blow up quick and burn out fast. Meanwhile, the less sporty will benefit from transforming areas of their home, such as rearranging things to create a library or office space or a meditation den.
An alternative to gardening can be growing herbs in their home. Any Taurus would take great delight in planting a variety of herbs in little pots and leaving them in the kitchen, watching them grow as the weeks pass.
Geminis are often talented writers and speakers, so the more artistic types may want to focus on writing a book or communicating through other art forms, such as drawing, sculpting or painting.
A Cancer is the type of person who would create a Youtube cooking channel or post pictures of their culinary masterpieces on Instagram. Another hobby they would enjoy is gardening, especially growing their own fruits and vegetables.
Leo signs thrive on hobbies such as dancing and fashion. Dancing provides a more physical outlet for their energy, while fashion – particularly designing – gives them something to create while keeping things fun. They will also enjoy cooking, especially unique and interesting recipes. The more creative, the better!
A good hobby for Virgo is anything which is detail-oriented. They particularly enjoy crossword puzzles or brain-training games (which is also strongly recommended for them. Virgos can struggle with worry and nervousness so they are encouraged to take good care of their brain health.) Chess is also great for them and sculpting is recommended for the more creative, as is needlework.
So a good hobby for Libra is beautifying either themselves or their home – and they can spend hours doing this, so they’re unlikely to get bored! Exploring different DIY face masks, rearranging their homes, or trying out different outfits and styles are all enjoyable hobbies for Librans.
Because Scorpio rules the eighth house of sex, death and magic, they may also be drawn to areas of the occult.
This is the Mutable Fire sign and they can make great writers who weave amazing stories, creating their own adventures. They are also teachers of the zodiac, so taking up a part-time skill such as teaching English as a foreign language or life-coach studies can be very rewarding for them.
Online courses that help them learn about marketing or strategy may be right up their alley! Another great hobby for them is reading – Capricorn should fill their shelves with books, especially on topics they can apply to the real world. Capricorn also likes collecting things, so stamp or crystal collecting is enjoyable.
Puzzles are a great hobby for them. An Aquarius would feel joy and satisfaction from puzzles of all kinds – jigsaw, word or number. Because this sign is also the sign of technology, hobbies in this area can be equally rewarding. They may enjoy learning about coding or building robots!
Painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, sculpting and drawing are all wonderful hobbies for Pisces. Because Pisces is also an ethereal sign, they may be drawn to metaphysical practices. Working with crystals and reiki are two things they may like to take up as hobbies which could evolve into something more.
Board games, sports, yoga, reading, painting and music – these are all hobbies we are used to seeing and are likely the most common around the world. Some of us tend toward the more intellectual pursuits, while others get more of a kick out of the physical. There are hundreds of options, so how will you go about choosing one that best suits you?
