12 Famous Astrologers Connecting the Zodiac to Mental Health

Amy Tripp tells Cancer what to do to reduce anxiety

For the zodiac sign of Cancer there are a few tips that can enhance their mental health. #1: Being near water is calming for Cancer (a water sign) and can soothe any tethered emotions. This can be a pool, ocean, or even a long bath. #2: Cooking can also be very therapeutic for the sign of Cancer. Food and nurture are especially important for this sign so it’s often soothing to cook for loved ones. #3: Cancer is to let your emotions flow through you but don’t cling to them. Because Cancer is ruled by the Moon their emotions are prone to greater fluctuation and moodiness. Lastly, I would recommend Cancer have a home or a space in their home where they can retreat. Like the crab, it’s important for Cancer to have a protective shell when they need to seek refuge.

Bronx addresses how Libras can be positively confident in their powers

#1: Protect your boundaries! Be more assertive. The sign of libra is all about balance and harmony, which is a great thing. However, this sign often puts the needs of others above their own and can fall into the habit of people pleasing. Learning how to just say “no” is easier said than done, but it will save you a lot of extra stress. #2: Try and build a stronger sense of self. Libra is also the sign of partnership and has a hard time doing things on their own or making their own decisions whole heartedly. Libras are more likely to fall victim to codependency. Practice making choices more often without looking to others for outside validation. This will help you feel more independent. #3: Address self esteem issues, don’t deny them. Libra ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, love’s beautiful things and people. But sometimes they can use that to fill a void and boost their ego. Work on loving yourself and boosting yourself up without relying on material things or people to achieve this.

Joanne offers the best tips for Scorpion’s mental health

#1: Express your deepest feelings. Scorpios can be very secretive and private and keep emotions bottled up inside. So find someone who you can really talk to, either an understanding loved one or – if required – a trusted mental health professional. #2: Practice forgiveness. Scorpios have a tendency to hold onto the past and keep grudges. So it is important that you learn to forgive others … and yourself. Choosing to forgive helps you move on with your life in a positive, powerful and proactive way. #3: Learn to relax. Scorpios are very intense and driven and can have trouble winding down. So it’s important to find a relaxation method that works for you, and incorporate it into your daily routine. Meditation, yoga, breathwork, creative visualization, Tai Chi and chanting are all suitable choices.

Milk Astrology explains habits that a Sagittarius can adopt to feel good

Sagittarius people are inherently wild at heart and really need to feel that they’re not caged or boxed in. When they feel trapped or methodical, this can feel incredibly defeating for them. Sagittarius people need to constantly be active, both mentally and physically to be able to feel creative and excited about the world around them. But this doesn’t have to mean hiking or trekking through the mountains. This could be something as simple as: #1: Reading a book #2: Listening to good music, #3: Having good conversation

Have realistic and doable expectations. #3: Loosen your need to manage and control and manage others. This will allow more intimacy into your life and lessen your sense of isolation.

Tess Lee indicates how Aquarians can combat mental health issues

Tip#1: Leveling with where you are at. Don’t get too consumed or caught up with the future and planning on how things are going to go. This is only going to propagate stress and concerns. The best thing for Aquarians to do when they are immersing themselves into projects and goals is to allow “freeform”; don’t be overly interested in the structure and details. Tip#2: Embodiment. Aquarians struggle staying in their body because they immediately filter or mentally process difficult feelings/information. Emotions are meant to be felt viscerally. Breathing techniques can be really helpful here, specifically breath focus. Tip#3: Embrace the most quirky parts of themselves. Many Aquarians experience a degree of marginalization from peers as they navigate the world. They often look at these “quirky” parts as something shameful or outlawed. This can grow into resentment against the self. It’s important Aquarians learn to validate themselves and verbally do so. They have to encourage positive reinforcement for themselves.

Haley Comet describes how Pisces can achieve happiness.

#1: Honor your sensitivity

The sign of Pisces in astrology is a mutable water sign, who’s archetype is the fish. The element of water in astrology is associated with emotions. Unlike the other water sign symbols (Scorpio is a scorpion and Cancer is a crab), fish do not have a protective shell to guard their deep-feeling natures. They are often told just how sensitive they are, as even the slightest comment can bruise their compassionate hearts. Because of this, Pisces can feel that their kindness and softness is a character flaw. Rather than perceiving this sensitivity as a weakness, it’s important for the Pisces to realize that so many of their beautiful qualities – their empathy, their kindness, their rich experience of life – is attributed to their sensitivity. There is nothing wrong with you, fish, start your self love journey by recognizing you are a more sensitive, emotional being and setting up your life to honor your sensitive dispositions.

#2: Regularly connect yourself to something bigger than yourself

Pisces, in astrology, is associated with finding a deeper meaning in life and transcending reality. Pisces has a desire to connect to a higher purpose with their lives and life can feel meaningless if these fish feel out of water without their spirituality. The mechanics of what it is that you believe in isn’t important – so long as it’s something that makes you feel connected to something bigger, broader and more magical than the mundane reality of life. Some PIsces connect through time in nature, through religion, through participating in an altruistic cause, or losing themselves in a creative pursuit. Since Pisces is associated with escapism, setting up these constructive avenues of escaping is much healthier than relying on substances to mimic this feeling of broader connection.

#3: Enact boundaries – learn to say no!

Pisces is a sign of universal, selfless love. Because of this inherent compassion, Pisces can overextend themselves in an effort to be everything to everyone. Pisces are empathetic beings, so they take on the emotions and sufferings of others by mere osmosis, which can weigh them down and drain their energies. It’s very important for the fish to enact boundaries with their loved ones so they don’t overwhelm their energetic and emotional bandwidth. Learn key phrases to say no when you feel emotionally drained and exhausted. Give yourself permission to stay home when you know the party will be overstimulating for you, to answer the text at a later time when you are in a good head space to address it and to limit exposure to draining, dramatic individuals. Communicating honestly with friends and family that you aren’t able to be reached and available 24/7 is important so they can manage their expectations.
