Your Work From Home Style According to your Star Sign by Astrologer Katherine Gillies
Astrologer and Life Coach, Katherine Gillies
As we navigate the obstacle course that is 2020, leaning into the energy of your star sign can really help you manoeuvre uncharted terrain and make the most of that WFH life!
Your star sign is your Sun sign; it’s your identity. The Sun reveals your strength and shows you how you shine brightest in the world. Let’s kick it off with our Libran birthday babes!
Libra
For the Venus ruled Libras, it’s imperative that your work space is as pleasing to the eye as you are to everyone you meet. Don’t dismiss the incredible benefit of simple aesthetic pleasures because an untidy work space can really disrupt your equilibrium. Make sure you have fresh flowers in your direct line of sight and buy a fragrant candle for your desk, stat. Remember, form (or output) follows feeling. So, make sure you’re feeling good before you sit down at your desk. Revamping your signature scent is an immediate power/level up.
Scorpio
You’re probably stoked you don’t have to be in the office tbh, but you could also be craving the intimacy of pre-Iso life. Dream work first thing is a great way to start your day and clear your mind. Write down your dreams (or anything you remember) when you wake; begin a relationship with your subconscious and watch it speak to you. You want to go deep Scorpio, and if 2020 is impacting your mental wellness then allow yourself to feel the feels. But don’t forget to lean on your tools to help bring levity to your daily routines. Call a friend who can make you laugh, diffuse uplifting essential oils, crank some feel good tunes. Whatever joy is for you, infuse your day with it!
Sagittarius
There’s no other sign bursting to travel and explore more than you, Sag. You’re ruled by Jupiter so your motto is ‘go big or go home’... and right now go big is the only option. Create a vision board to place in your workspace for the trips you want to take once you can. And if you’re feeling trapped in your own home, visualise yourself at your next destination! Having something to look forward to really does change the game. If there’s a sign that wants to use their spare time to learn something new, it’s you Sag! Also, when’s the last time you sent a handwritten letter? Just a thought.
Capricorn
This whole WFH thing wasn’t in your plan, but as a resourceful Cap you’re doing everything you can to tick things off your long term to do’s. But, don’t forget to be gentle on yourself. Instead of always ploughing onward with the ‘doing’ allow yourself space and time for the ‘being’. Basically, feel your feelings Cap. You don’t always have to be the one who’s got it all together. Leaning on or developing a daily practice to connect inward will be really healing for your go, go, go attitude. Do some journaling. Who knows, it may even increase your work productivity and critical thinking!
Aquarius
You’re not insane Aqua, you're just living in a simulation called 2020. You may be feeling more cooped up than other signs but you’re probably dealing with the alone time better than most! If you’re bored AF of staring at the same four walls every day, hot desk! Couch, desk, balcony, bed, backyard, stairs - make anywhere your office! Because mixing up your “workspace” is proposed to enhance creativity and if anything, it’ll create a new reality each time you shift positions. You’re a multidimensional creature after all, Aquarius. Also: rebounders! Get on it.
Pisces
Sometimes you’re feeling the WFH vibe and sometimes you’re not. And that’s ok, Pisces! As a water sign you live from your emotions, so it’s helpful for you to connect with your practical Earth sign pals to talk strategy! The most important thing for you is that you’re floating downstream, toward a goal, otherwise who knows where you’ll swim to! Pisces mermaids have a tendency to float off and see the best in things (we LOVE you for that) so during Iso, make sure you’re grounding your body to the Earth plane - it will help you immensely. Get your feet on the Earth and eat grounding foods like root veggies. Also, invoke your senses. Have textures on your desk to touch. That will bring you back to the now moment.
Aries
Whoa Aries… how are you dealing with all of that fire? You’re already cooped up and your planetary ruler Mars is in your sign for a whopping six months! Be sure to use that fire in your belly to set a goal and go after it, because Iso will not be stopping you! You’ve got the Aries chutzpah to hit it out of the park. Speaking of parks, have you been for a run lately? Tell me you're expelling your dynamism in positive ways and taking loads of breaks to get out any surplus energy! Important for Rams: moving the body and transmuting those excess fiery vibes (physical or emotional): think post work calming ritual baths to separate work life from home life.
Taurus
You’ve basically turned European with your home cooked lunches and afternoon siestas, haven’t you Taurus? You know your priorities each day and now that you don’t have to leave the comfort of your own home, you can set up your own timetable to suit your own WFH routine! Little do most know, you’re the Queen/King of getting it done and making that money. Nothing stands between you and your ca$h. WFH tips for the Bulls = indulge your 5 senses. Think WFH playlists, tasty healthy snacks, fresh smelling flowers and making sure your background for your Zoom meetings is looking schmick - you’re ruled by Venus (the goddess of beauty) after all.
Gemini
Being at home all day with no co-workers to chat to, it’s just not the same is it Gemini? You have all of the ideas, all of the time and with noone one on hand to bounce them off you might be feeling like you’re about to combust! For Gems, it’s all about filtering and formulating a game plan. Oh, and lists. Prioritising and focusing are what will satiate your Mercurial mind (that sometimes gets distracted on the next exciting thing)! Think Pomodoro Technique for quick bursts of productivity to ensure you stay on track. Also, smokey quartz for your desk.
Cancer
You guys love being at home; it’s your safe space, your haven. For you, embracing the 2020 WFH vibe is all about feeling comfortable: clothes, temperature, company. You’re ruled by the Moon which is constantly in flux, so you naturally feel more than most. It’s super important to create structure for your day ahead otherwise your mood might guide you off course. Discipline and devotion are your friend, Cancer. Heard of Eating That Frog? Write a list of your to-do’s for the day and attack the one thing you’d normally procrastinate about!
Leo
I feel you, Leo… you love being social and you’re probably really craving that physical connection and morning coffee run with your work BFF. In lieu of that, DIY your latte and take it outside to soak up the Sun - your planetary ruler. Taking those mini Vitamin D breaks throughout your work day is great to revitalise your sweet, Leo soul. Also, colour therapy is an actual thing so if you’re feeling a bit sad face, do your mane and put on some bright clothes and watch your mood elevate. Just because you’re not strutting your stuff to work, make sure you’re looking like a snack even if you are at home, because energy knows no bounds!
Virgo
You guys love to move your body so you’ve likely already got your WFH fitness routine planned down to a T. Don’t forget to stretch those muscles when you’re sitting at a desk all day! Beware if you're home alone that you don’t get too in your own head, because your planetary ruler is Mercury, which rules our minds. Have you tried morning pages? It helps to get anything and everything out of your mind and onto paper to free space for inspiration and creativity to flow. Lastly, promise you’ll give yourself a break, Virgo! You’re so used to looking after everyone else that sometimes you forget to look after you, so here’s your cosmic permission to do just that.
