Who doesn’t want to be happy in life? But if you are only facing setbacks in your pursuit of happiness, you need to learn how to be happy based on your zodiac!
We were all happy once, blissfully unaware of the complexities of life and with hopes in our hearts and sparks in our eyes. But somewhere along our journey, we lost touch with ourselves and got consumed by the trials and tribunals of life.
We got conditioned and started believing we will be happy once we get that job or that promotion or that car or that dream wedding. And in the process lost the key to happiness.
True happiness is an inside job and it has much to do with our inner desires, habits, triggers, and preferences, in other words, our authentic selves!
So, rediscovering inner happiness begins with getting to know yourself after peeling off all the layers of social conditioning.
Astrology takes a dive into this by studying the characteristics of each zodiac personality and how they can discover happiness according to their innate qualities. So, are you eager to know how to be happy again according to your zodiac traits? Let’s go!
How To Be Happy In Life, Based On Your Zodiac
Here is everything on how to be happy with yourself, according to astrology:
1. Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Know who you are.
Aries rules the face, head, and identity. Without a strong purpose or identity in life, an Aries native may not be happy. Ruled by the planet Mars, Aries is a natural leader; they are the fighters, and they are the rebels changing the rules.
How to be happy? You need a cause and a purpose, and you need to understand who you are. Quiet your mind Aries and try to look deep within.
Silently ask yourself “Who am I?” and wait for the picture to come alive. Once you focus on what you want, keep that fire burning and you’ll get it.

2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Having a strong sense of self-worth.
Through Taurus, we understand what we value the most. Without strong self-worth, a Taurus may not be happy.
Ruled by the planet Venus, the Goddess of Love, and the finer things in life, they are the manifesters for all these things, including their own personal finances.
How to be happy? Once a Taurus can communicate what he/she needs clearly through the part of the body they rule, which is the throat, they will become stronger, and instantly get what they deserve.
They are the true Manifesters. I am reminded of the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella; all you need to do is wave that wand and see the picture of what you want. Make sure it is aligned with your true values, and bippity boppity boo, it will come true.

3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Communicate freely.
A Gemini that is silenced, or repressed in expressing themselves may not be happy. You need the freedom to express your feelings and emotions in the best way you can: Words.
Words are Gemini’s best friends. Mercury is the ruling planet here: the planet that rules minds, thoughts, and all forms of communication.
I am reminded of George VI, who wasn’t supposed to be appointed King and had to overcome his speech impediment.
Then, once he had the courage, he became an inspiration to many. Do you want to know how to be happy? We know your dualistic, beautiful mind has lots to say, and the World is waiting to hear it. And this will bring you inner happiness.

4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Having a home that you can call your own.
A crab without a safe & cozy shell, where they can be themselves, may not be happy.
A home to call your own; a place where your emotions are free to flow with the people surrounding you (immediate family, spouse, or children), that understand YOU and will allow you to be just ‘You’.
This is the foundation of Cancer: The Happy-home. How to be happy? Create your sanctuary.
You are the most emotional of all signs because you are ruled by the Moon, which controls the ocean tides.
Resolution with mother/ father, and finding peace with your own upbringing, if there are karmic ties that need to be cleared. If there are things that need to be said, say them now.
I can’t help to think of the Brady Bunch; how two families had to live together in harmony under one roof, and they did because emotions were always talked out.

5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Express yourself bravely.
A lion without its pride, may not be happy. A lion’s pride looks to the King for direction. An audience always needs to be around this gracious, social being; they are the center of attention, ruled by the Sun.
The Sun is the light shining brightly through our hearts, like most signs, but especially for Leo’s; they must discover what they love through creative self-expression and inspire people around them. They uplift and transform all lives they touch.
They can do this only when they find their power. This usually revolves around overcoming some fear. I think of Simba from The Lion King, who has many lessons to learn and overcome, but in the end, we all knew it was his destiny to rule.
How to be happy? Allow your insecurities to fall by the wayside. Do what you love, and do it with grace and passion. You are a natural-born star. it’s your time to shine.

6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Love yourself first.
A Virgo without a good routine; physically and emotionally, may not be happy. It’s because they think of others first. They are natural-born givers, and teachers; they are the Mother Theresas’, and the Gandhis’ of our world.
By giving up their lives for others, they may neglect what they must do for themselves. Ruled also by Mercury, you have a naturally organized mind, a ‘to-do” list in your head of 100 things perfectly departmentalized.
How to be happy? Learn to love yourself first. Focus on you, and then others will follow and appreciate you more.
Your family will understand that you need to work out for 20 mins before breakfast, and the dishes can wait.
It will all be there for you when you get back. You’ll feel so much better once you get the YOU routine in order, and STAY on track.

7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Balancing your energy.
Unhappy relationships equal unhappy life for these loving, bright beings. Happiness can be achieved through business or personal relationships.
A Libra without another person in their life (a close friend, relative, or significant other) may not be happy. Ruled by the planet Venus, this is where love and marriage are highlighted.
They are the Scales of life; the ones who need to balance their energy the most, to feel alive and in good spirits. Work, social, and personal time are all crucial to your well-being.
How to be happy? Don’t give too much of yourself to your partner in life, and don’t spend too much time in isolation.
I’m reminded here of Bridget Jones’ character; focused on her career, but has the support of close friends and family to guide her love life.
Your vibes attract your tribe; stay positive, and do you, and the right people will arrive in your life. And most importantly, you will be well on your way to discovering how to be happy!

8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Commit to your passion.
If a Scorpio is not passionate about anything in particular in their life, they may not be happy.
The sign most associated with sex is the most mysterious and mystical one. They are creative beings ruled by not only Mars but the deep, transformative, icy planet, Pluto. The most powerful sign, they see beyond the surface, and through it all.
A surface partnership or project will just NOT do. They strive for big businesses and big deals. They are not scared to explore the depths of the cold ocean that so many are fearful of.
I think of Martin Scorsese; taking chances of ridicule by bringing us movies like Taxi, Casino & Raging Bull, which explore the darker, more aggressive, passionate side of cinema.
Death and transformation are a big part of these movies, and that is what Scorpio must become comfortable with.
How to be happy? The idea of killing a project, ego, or partnership, to bring to life new people, projects, and a more awakened self drives you. Boredom is death to a Scorpio. Learn to let go.
Be obsessed with what makes you feel alive. Be in love with those who connect with you at the deepest level, and be the Phoenix that rises from the ashes, to bring your gifts to light.

9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Keep learning and exploring new things.
A Sag that is not learning something new, or discovering new lands, may not be happy. You are the philosophers and inventors of the world.
You can do anything you put your mind to, and you need to trust yourself enough to think big. Never allow yourself to become complacent. Jupiter, your bad boy, a big ruling planet, wants to gift you with everything you desire.
How to be happy? When you travel, you expand your horizons, and every place you visit will become a part of your essence and teach you much more about yourself.
Thinking of the movie Big Fish; many could not believe this story was true, but it didn’t matter because the Inspiration it left us with was enough to feel like magic, that still exists in this world.

10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Focus and keep the end in mind.
A Capricorn without a big goal, may not be happy. How to be happy? The Goats of the zodiac signs climb high, and steady, as they reach the top of the mountain.
Capricorns are ruled by the Timekeeper Saturn. The rule-maker, and even as the goats climb sideways, we wonder “How do they do it?”
They believe it – that’s why. They know if they just focus on the end in mind, they will survive, and get there one day, regardless of how much pressure they need to put themselves under. Hard work and perseverance never fail.
I think of the lead role in Shawshank Redemption who wanted to escape his demise. He made his way slowly digging a hole, little by little, year by year, not allowing himself to be distracted, or discouraged.
You of all signs understand that life cannot be measured in a year, or a day, and if a setback comes your way, you know you will make it to the top of the mountain again. Just try NOT to take life so seriously, and learn to yodel along with the way.

11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Staying connected with others, and having personal relationships.
An Aquarius in isolation may not be happy. You can be sitting in front of your computer, and connected to thousands.
You might even be conjuring up the new Facebook technology of the next generation, but you need personal connections in this life, outside of the internet.
How to be happy? Community work comes to mind, and being with great friends or family, is important to an Aquarius, even if they don’t seem to show it.
They connect very quickly to many and can disconnect just as quickly when a new topic or new incident comes their way. This is just their way of life; they are not being rude, or dismissive, they are just learning through it all.
Ruled by the planet Uranus, your mind works overtime and sees things very differently than most. Sudden change and big moves seem to happen in an instant, and it’s how you handle them, that makes all the difference.
Know that you will always be okay, with strong connections that last longer than others, and will always be there to re-energize you.
Social networks like Meet-up were invented for you, OR maybe you’re working on creating your own. Looking forward to it.

12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Trust your intuition.
A Pisces that doesn’t trust their Intuition, and seems lost at sea, may not be happy. You are the seers, and you probably know the next words I’m gonna write before I even print them.
Neptune, your ruling planet keeps you connected naturally to the Ethers, but as your sign is symbolic of two fishes swimming in opposite directions, you can choose to disconnect with this strong power.
Whether you convince yourself that you don’t know your true heart’s desire, you are basically trying to run away from the truth.
But you can’t. You are here to help others and guide them with your inner knowing. Don’t slip away into the dark depths of the ocean tides. Come back, take a deep breath and rise up to the surface and let everyone see what a miraculous being you are.
How to be happy? Your intuition will always guide you. The more connected and sober you are in life with spiritual practice in mind, the better you will be at finding your true happiness.
