How to Romanticize Your Friday Night In, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

After a long week, there’s nothing I look forward to more than a night where I don’t have to go anywhere or do anything. It’s not just because I’m an introvert—one thing I’ve been working on this year is doing things alone without feeling lonely. News flash for everyone who turns their nose up at a Friday night in: it isn’t boring if you romanticize your life! It’s a piece of cake to have a fun night at home if you know exactly what makes you satisfied and fulfilled during your alone time.

Romanticizing my routines makes me feel so much better about doing things by myself, and a night in is no exception. Even something as simple as lighting a candle and turning on some of my favorite songs helps me flip the script when I need a boost. In fact, there are so many different ways to romanticize a night in, it’s almost hard to choose just one. Luckily, the stars can tell us everything we need to know about our Friday night plans. If you’re looking for new ways to romanticize your Friday night, check out these ideas based on your zodiac sign.

Aries

Plan your next vacation

If you love going on trips or just want a change of scenery, traveling is one of the easiest ways to romanticize your life. With all of the gorgeous Pinterest photography at your fingertips, how could you not want to visit as many cities as possible? Aries can put their top-notch organizational skills to good use by looking for cute places to stay and putting together a fun itinerary. This fire sign also tends to be impulsive, so make sure not to book anything unless you’re sure you can afford it!

Taurus

Use the “nice” things

It’s no secret that Tauruses know how to appreciate the finer things in life. So why not romanticize your life by making your Friday night as fancy as possible? You deserve it! Light those candles you’ve been saving, open the fancy bottle of wine, draw yourself a bubble bath—you could even do all three at once, if you wanted to get really crazy. Nice, indulgent things are made to be used, not sit around and collect dust, and nobody knows it better than a Taurus.

Gemini

Start a new book

One of the best parts about reading is getting to experience so many places and things without ever really needing to go anywhere. For a sign that’s naturally curious like Gemini, there are so many possibilities at your fingertips when you’re looking for ways to escape from reality on your Friday night. Either get lost in a fictional story or learn a little more about yourself and the world around you with some nonfiction. Knowing the versatility of Geminis, this is a simple way to romanticize your life from the comfort of your bed.

Cancer

Try out a new recipe

Cancers tend to thrive in more intimate environments like being at home, which makes staying in already a bit more enjoyable. There are few things that sound more cozy to me than baking on a cool evening night, so head to the kitchen and romanticize your life by making yourself a sweet treat. Whether you’re testing a recipe for the first time or making one of your favorites, following each of the steps will give your Friday night some extra stability. Plus, it’ll leave your space smelling delicious.

Leo

Make a new playlist

Creativity comes naturally to Leos, especially when it involves art or music. Show off your fabulous taste by putting together a playlist of the tracks you’ve got on repeat, or show some love to your favorite songs of all time. There are no rules, except one: Once you’ve got everything queued, you have to turn up the volume and turn your room into a dance floor. Leos know how to put on a show, so dance as if everyone is watching.

Virgo

Rearrange your space

For a sign that prioritizes organization, there’s no better way for this earth sign to romanticize life on a Friday night than to give your living space a remodel. Whether you just tidy up your nightstand or rearrange your entire layout, it’ll help make your home feel fresh again and make you feel like you’ve been productive. Virgos also tend to be perfectionists, so just remind yourself that it doesn’t need to be completely spotless! You can still have a fresh look without spending four hours tidying.

Libra

Have friends over

Who says a night in has to be spent alone? Libras thrive in social situations, so having other people around will make your Friday more exciting. You and your friends can watch a movie together, play games, make each other friendship bracelets, or even try out some of the other ideas on this list based on everyone’s sign. In true slumber-party fashion, make sure to leave some time for deeper conversation. Libras are also great listeners, so they’ll love diving deeper on a Friday night.

Scorpio

Go device-free

Scorpios are very intentional with the details they share about themselves. To take that intention a step further, stay off your phone for the night. It’ll give you a much-needed break from being in front of a screen and help you stay in touch with your mysterious side, too. Keep the people guessing what you’re up to! Put your phone on silent, or even turn it off altogether so you’re not tempted. However else you decide to spend your night is up to you: read a book, reconnect with nature, or simply spend time talking late into the night with a friend or loved one.

Sagittarius

Pick up a new hobby

Spending a night in might seem uneventful for a Sagittarius, since they’re always looking for something new to explore. But that’s exactly what this time is for! Romanticize your life by finding a virtual class that sounds interesting to you, following a painting tutorial on YouTube, or picking a language you always wanted to learn and diving right in. Sagittarius signs also tend to bounce from one interesting thing to the next, so if one activity isn’t holding your attention, there are many others for you to try.

Capricorn

Have a spa night

No sign is more deserving of a night in than the one with a reputation for being a workaholic. Capricorns have the tendency to feel responsible for everyone else around them, but that’s what makes self-care and romanticizing your night in so important. Treat yourself to some true relaxation by having an at-home spa night. Put on a face mask, try out a new nail design, take an “everything shower,” and let the calming vibes take over.

Aquarius

Pull some tarot cards

Aquarius signs are known for being into the more esoteric things in life, which is why you should absolutely romanticize your life by pulling some tarot cards on your Friday night. Whether you opt to do this alone or with friends, set the vibes by lighting some candles, maybe grabbing a couple of crystals if that’s your thing, and seeing what your future holds. This is the perfect activity for a sign who can be very go-with-the-flow and is capable of taking every tarot card prediction with a grain of salt.

Pisces

Have a journal session

This water sign is known for living in their head, and journaling is one of the best ways to stay in touch with your emotions and intuition. It’s not only a great source of stress relief, but also a chance to get creative. You can either be more structured with your journaling and follow some prompts, or write about anything and everything that’s on your mind. Romanticize your life by getting experimental on the page and making a junk journal, or test out your calligraphy skills with bullet journaling. The possibilities are endless for a Pisces with a pen.
