After a long day of putting out fires at work or at home (or, in most cases, both), mamas just want to relax. And if you're into astrology, you might want to consider how best to wind down based on your zodiac sign. I must admit that while I believe I fit certain characteristics of a Pisces, and I have said, a time or two, "Well, I am a Pisces after all," I can't say I read my horoscope or follow what my zodiac sign is telling me when the moon has entered my sun sign or mercury is in retrograde. That said, while I am respectfully skeptical, if you are into astrology or looking to learn more about it, then by all means "you do you," as the saying goes.
But I will say that I am 100 percent for relaxation, and most importantly, understanding that I deserve to relax after a long day. So, with that said, whether it's making a list for the next day, planning your next adventure or hanging out with friends, here are the best ways to unwind based on your astrological sign. At the end of the day, just remember how important it is to prioritize recharging those batteries so you can start fresh tomorrow.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Libras are known to be cooperative, value one-on-one connections, and are fair-minded (you often see scales associated with Libras as they believe in justice and like to weigh every option). Because they prefer real conversations to social media posts and messages, an ideal evening is an in-person conversation with their partner or FaceTime with friends or family, or write a quick note or card to a friend. Snail mail is the best mail!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Scorpios are known to be passionate people who work hard and enjoy enjoy intense emotional experiences. At the end of the day, a Scorpio could use a quick soak in the tub followed by a favorite show or movie — remember, the Scorpio is all about the thrilling, emotional experience. A car chase before bed sounds perfect, right?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
The Sagittarius is drawn to beauty, inspiration, and is known to have a bit of wanderlust. Knowledge is the key to helping a Sagittarius understand the world and put everything in perspective. An ideal evening includes taking a walk or run under the stars, appreciating the night sky. Meditation is also helpful for the Sagittarius winding down the day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
The Capricorn enjoy having multiple projects to complete at any given time. An expert multi-tasker, the Capricorn prefers to stay active and get things done instead of hanging out on the couch. Capricorns will want to complete any unfinished projects or tasks that are when bedtime rolls around, especially if it's something handy around the house or a vacation that needs planning.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Those with the Aquarius sign are often humanitarians, philanthropic, and care deeply about making the world a better place. While they enjoy a mix of social time and alone time, they are also expert people-watchers. That said, an Aquarius is all about that social media scroll, and an ideal evening includes looking through Instagram feeds, which allows them to feel social without having to actually, you know, socialize.
12
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Pisces are deeply sensitive people, compassionate dreamers who want everyone to be happy. They crave routine and relaxation (as a Pisces myself, I can attest to this), and tackling a to-do list at the end of the night is less than ideal. A perfect evening for a Pisces includes getting comfortable right away in your coziest clothes, taking a nice bath or shower, listening to music and whatever helps you disconnect. Sounds perfect.
