Feeling stressed or drained? There are a million ways to revive your mojo, but you can get further faster by focusing on what works for your star sign.

1

ARIES - sweat

You burn brightly- sometimes too bright. Over thinking is a tendency which can swiftly nudge you towards fatigue and self doubt.

Create an instant diversion to this by burning the candle physically instead. You can go the extra mile, and then some. Push yourself competitively and feel your mind quieten, and heal, as you focus on your body and its limits.

2

TAURUS - sensory healing

Feeling safe and comfortable is so deeply ingrained that you may not realise how much of your behaviour is driven by this need.

When you feel wobbly, you can regain your famous calm demeanour by creating a sensory haven. Address each sense- sight, sound, taste, smell, feel - utilising comfort, aromatherapy, relaxing sounds, reviving foods, dim lighting. Stay in your Taurean girl-cave until you feel grounded again.

GEMINI - solitude

Your thirst for stimulation and excitement is relentless and, left to your own devices, you could wind yourself up in a social and information overload. Your mind needs a Time Out (not for long, don't worry, and you'll return fiercer than ever).

Be alone, be where you can breathe, be where there's space and quiet. And then... sit, gaze, inhale, exhale. Less is more.

CANCER - mermaid meditation

Your powerful intuition and empathy can pick up the bad vibes of others, leaving you drained, and also making you vulnerable to *over indulging* in order to numb your bruised psyche. There's a better way for Cancerians to rebalance, and that is simply to get to water: the sea, a river, a pool or spa.

Swim in it, walk round it, gaze into it, paddle. It's up to you! Imagine you're a mermaid, returning to your original habitat, cleansing yourself from all the negative energy and tension it has absorbed. Imagine you're in one of those Herbal Essences ads and let water do its work.

LEO - mad fun

Your pride and high energy levels can expose you to disappointments and bouts of lethargy; "what's the point," you growl, retreating into your Leo den... That's not the answer to reboot your mojo. The answer, lucky you, is FUN.

Get out and about, dress up, sing and dance, freak and flirt, show off to your heart's content. One good night out equals a week's worth of therapy for naturally buoyant Leo.

6

VIRGO - daily meditation

So outwardly lovely and gracious that no one could imagine what a cruel inner judge you harbour within. And therefore, more than any other sign, you need to focus on stillness little and often, to learn how to diminish that harsh internal critic.

A short, but daily, burst of meditation or yoga will help you build the concentration necessary to release your grip on perfection, and override your inner judge.

LIBRA - seek beauty

A natural people pleaser, you end up turning yourself inside out to keep the peace for others. Harmony and balance are important to you, and you can always find them reflected in beautiful things.

Gazing at pleasing objects, landscapes, artworks all bring you that same reward. So, visit your local museums, exhibitions, galleries or breathtaking landscapes. Surround yourself with beauty, Libra, because you deserve a beautiful world.

8

SCORPIO - massage

Your intense mind can get hooked on repetitive thoughts to the point it needs a reboot. Physical contact helps you detach from the loop and start a new (more positive) playlist.

Sex works. So does massage. Basically, any type of physical contact or activity where you're distracted, and therefore released, from your own intense thoughts.

9

SAGITTARIUS - explore

Sitting, Photography,

There's a deep-seated urge in all Sagittarians to be free and on the move. Exploring new places, meeting new people, and trying different stuff all recharge and, weirdly, relax you.

It's what you were born for, so if the doldrums threaten then simply put on your coat and shoes and go somewhere new. Don't plan it, do it. Come home with a fresh perspective on everything.

CAPRICORN - climb

You're nature's climber. A dogged and determined self improver who needs to experience consistent progression in order to feel comfortable. Life doesn't always offer you that, but you can replicate the feeling by getting yourself up high.

The physical feeling of reaching a summit will settle your nerves, and the new viewpoint will help your mind expand and focus on its next inevitable goal.

11

AQUARIUS - retreat

Such an inquisitive, inquiring, innovative spirit needs to retreat from the world occasionally to avoid being overwhelmed by its possibilities. No tech, no screens, no books, no contact.

Just your own internal world cocooned in a sanctuary of your own creation. Return there, alone, whenever the bright lights get too bright.

12

PISCES - reflexology

Pisceans have a *thing* about their feet. They pay great attention to them, and, maybe as a result, they respond wonderfully to any type of treatment.

So reflexology, or even a foot massage, are guaranteed to boost your overall wellbeing and sense of calm. You can daydream throughout the treatment too, and THAT really is your favourite relaxation pastime.
