Home Wellness Tips Based on Your Zodiac Sign
All Zodiac signs are different, but they can be lumped into four broad categories based on their elements. Find your sign below to determine your custom home wellness tips.
- Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius all fall under the umbrella of being air signs and are always on the cutting edge of modern trends and technology.

Tauruses, Virgos, and Capricorns crave stable environments to create wellness based on their exquisite tastes. Create an organized space that includes touches of natural flair like durable parlor palms. Additionally, you may manifest an amazing home through tidying a space or relaxing in a newly-cleaned area.
- Water Signs
Water signs are intuitive, imaginative, and sensitive — which is why Cancers, Scorpios, and Pisces need a creative space to recharge their emotions and promote emotional intelligence. Consider paying attention to sensory details and manifest self-reflection through baths and rosemary essential oils. Place crystals for protection around your home to ward of negative emotions.
- Fire Signs
Known for passion, artistry, and taking initiative, Aries, Leos, and Sagittarians love to exercise independence. Create an at-home place of wellness by customizing your living space with DIY projects or by exercising in a home gym.
Home Wellness Tips According to Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type
Your Myers-Briggs personality type can depend on whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, or more of a feeler or thinker. Your personality type will, of course, change the way you make happiness within your own home.
- Analysts
Architects (INTJ), logicians (INTP), commanders (ENTJ) or debaters (ENTP) are strong-willed, intellectual people who desire innovation. These are practical thinkers who solve problems, like tidying a space for optimal efficiency. Soothe your analytical mind at home by reading a book, painting a room or solving a puzzle.
- Diplomats
Campaigners (ENFP), mediators (INFP), protagonists (ENFJ) and advocates (INFJ) are charismatic and altruistic — craving interpersonal relationships and communication. To find wellness at home, host a social event like a dinner party with close friends, but don’t forget to find some alone time for yourself and take a break from external stimulation. When you start to feel down, try these journal prompts to mental health and anxiety!
- Sentinels
Those who are dedicated, protective, and fact-minded fall under the umbrella of being sentinels — logisticians (ISTJ), defenders (ISFJ), executives (ESTJ) and consuls (ESFJ). These Myers-Briggs personality types love problem-solving and improving the state of the world, which can sometimes be overwhelming. Make a happy home by taking a digital fitness class or turning off your brain with a movie.
- Explorers
Explorers are composed of virtuosos (ISTP), adventurers (ISFP), entrepreneurs (ESTP) and entertainers (ESFP) and are the most adventurous personality types and thrive off spontaneity. These Myers-Briggs personalities may benefit from remote work so they don’t have to have a set schedule. Spend work days on the porch to get clarity and inspiration.
