If you’re feeling uninspired, consider looking to astrology for ideas. Your zodiac sign contains infinite wisdom about your personality, life path, and preferences—including how you like to spend your free time. This is even more true if you tap into your full astrological birth chart. (You can calculate your own here, but note that you’ll need your birth time for an accurate snapshot of the sky at the time you were born.)
Below, find some fun Daylight Savings Time ideas for all 12 zodiac signs. Think of this list as a starting point. If the suggestion resonates, run it, if not, try something else. (For the astrologically savvy: scan both the entries for your Venus natal sign, which reflects what you find contentment, and your Mars sign, which represents what drives you to action.)
Aries: Start a fitness challenge.
Aries is a cardinal sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action and ambition. And yes, “action” includes physical exercise. Embrace your inner fire starter by using the extra daylight to start a fitness challenge. Your sign tends to favor short, high-intensity workouts, but you’ll benefit just as much from a slower, gentler form of movement, like yoga or walking.
Taurus: Hurkle-durkle a little longer.
Are you familiar with hurkle-durkle? Popularized by the viral TikTok, this Scottish phrase basically means luxury in bed after you wake up in the morning. If you’re a Taurus, you have to try it this spring—that is, if you’re not already a skilled hurkle-durkler. As a fixed earth sign, you love creature comforts (and struggle with transitions), so you can still do it.
Gemini: The Bedtime Diary.
Gemini is ruled by quick Mercury, the planet of analysis and communication. Your mind moves a mile a minute, making you quick-witted… and prone to overthinking. With an extra hour of daylight, consider starting a daily journaling practice. You’ll enjoy this nightly ritual of getting those racing thoughts out of your head and onto the page.
Cancer: Do an enjoyable cardio workout.
Cancers get their characteristic sensitivity from their ruling planet, the moon, which rules your emotions and physical bodies. Your sign works best within the confines of your comfort zone, which is why you will too love pleasant cardio exercises. These slow, low-impact fitness routines are designed to be done at home — a godsend for the zodiac homebody.
Leo: Go for a walk with a hot girl.
As the confident, Sun-ruled hotties of the zodiac, Leos are cosmically destined to take hot girl walks. This viral movement practice involves going on long walks with intention (and a killer playlist, if you feel so inclined). Be sure to get yours in before sunset to really soak up that extra hour of daylight.
Virgo: Take up a new craft.
Virgos also match smart Mercury, but your earth sign nature makes you more tactile and detail-oriented. As the days get longer, consider taking up a new craft at home. The more meticulousness it requires, the better (think: embroidery or needlework). You will thoroughly enjoy the process of learning a new skill and applying that knowledge in a creative way.
Libra: Treat yourself to a manicure.
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. You are naturally inclined towards aesthetics and appreciate putting your best foot forward. Build on that by giving yourself a manicure or pedicure at home. You don’t have to be fancy with it, but don’t be surprised if you end up with nail art that makes a statement. As a gregarious air sign, conversation-starting designs are right up your alley.
Scorpio: Add a new dinner to your rotation.
As a fixed sign, Scorpios love what they love…which also means that they sometimes get stuck in a rut. Mix up your meal plan this spring by trying a new dinner recipe. Your sign is ruled by Mars, which rules all things hot and spicy, so I’d recommend a delicious curry or noodle soup. If you like what you make, add it to your weekly dinner rotation.
Sagittarius: Call a friend remotely.
Fire sign Sags are known for their larger-than-life personalities—and brutal honesty. Your sign is not above a little gossip, and neither are you love a good ventilation sesh. With an extra hour of daylight, make it a habit to schedule catch-up calls with your long-distance friends or loved ones. You’ll end these conversations feeling energized and closer to the people you love.
Capricorn: Watch the documentary.
Saturn, the planet of responsibility and reality checks, rules Capricorn, hence the trademark seriousness of this sign. You are pragmatic by nature, and your idea of free time is to use your free time to enrich your life. Expand your mental horizons by watching a documentary or documentary film. That way you will be entertained and informed.
Aquarius: Play an enjoyable video game.
Aquarians have a natural affinity for technology. If you’re not already into gaming, you should give it a try, and an enjoyable video game is the perfect place to start. These aesthetically pleasing, low-stakes games, like the ultra-popular Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing: New Horizons, will help you unwind at the end of the day (and indulge your not-so-secret geek side).
Pisces: Watch some TV.
Real talk: Pisces love periodic escape from reality. Thanks to your ruling planet, Jupiter, who rules all things expansive and indulgent. Satisfy your inner escapist this spring by watching that TV show you’ve been meaning to stream. As a sensitive water sign, you’re ready to enjoy art that moves you, whether it’s a high-stakes drama or a sitcom that makes you cry with laughter.
