How Each Zodiac Sign Makes New Year’s Resolutions
And whether or not they’ll keep them.

Capricorn
Dedication is a Cap's strong suit, so when they set a goal, they’ll do what it takes to meet it. They’ll prioritize their resolution, add it to the calendar, and put in the work to make it happen — come hell or high water.

Aquarius
A community-oriented Aquarian is likely to recruit a friend to make their resolution a reality. They’ll chip away at their yearly goals together with accountability and perseverance intact thanks to the buddy system.

Pisces
Balanced, but driven, when it comes to their New Year’s resolution, a Pisces will probably take the path of least resistance. However, this compassionate and empathetic star sign is likely to work toward resolutions that also benefit others.

Aries
The leader of their pack, the competitive mindset of an Aries can help them race toward resolution fulfillment. But this same trait can also sway them to drop a resolution like a hotcake when it no longer serves them or their overarching goals.

Taurus
Slow and steady is the Taurus when it comes to fulfilling a New Year’s resolution. If they can plan it, they can do it — especially if there’s a big reward in doing so — but their bull-headedness may cause some bumps.

Gemini
Geminis are likely to make more than one resolution, and they’ll include at least one lofty, dreamy, shoot-for-the-stars kind. However, dual personality traits mean these resolutions will meet one of two ends with no in-between: great success or abject failure.

Cancer
A Cancer’s desire for stability means that their New Year’s resolution is likely to be something practical that helps improve their life in a way that seems mundane to outsiders, but fulfills their need to feel stable and secure.

Leo
Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, Leos might just skip the ritual in favor of jumping into whatever new experiences or offers to take center stage in the play of life come their way. To them, a resolution just means going for it, no matter what “it” is.

Virgo
Private, modest Virgos likely won’t shout their resolutions from the rooftops. Their people-pleasing nature means they don’t want to upset anyone should they fail, but they’ll patiently think through any goals they do set and independently work toward achieving them.

Libra
Balanced, but also prone to indecision, Libras can be initially enthusiastic about their New Year’s resolutions, but it can wane as the year wears on. Despite their best-laid plans, Libras often need outside motivation to reach their goals.

Scorpio
With intense focus and an ambitious nature, Scorpios have the work ethic to make their New Year’s resolutions a reality. They’re going to see their goals through to the end with discipline and perseverance, no matter what it takes.

Sagittarius
If a Sagittarius makes a New Year’s resolution at all, it’ll be something flashy and bold to coincide with their optimistic ways. However, they might have a hard time sticking with it, so easily achievable goals with big payoffs are their style.
