Holidays To Celebrate Based On Your Astrological Sign
The best part about your astrological season is obviously the chance to celebrate your birthday for at least one day (if you're a Leo, we know you're going to be celebrating your birth month), but if you needed more of an excuse to celebrate something, we've got you covered.
There are plenty of weird, random holidays that you see trending on Twitter that you don't even realize are worth celebrating, so we've come up with 24 days you can celebrate through the year to spice up your month.
Aquarius — Work Naked Day
This is one of those days when you should probably also make sure you're working from home—otherwise February 7th is going to be a weird day at the office when Aquariuses show up naked.
Pisces — National Everything You Do Is Right Day
March 16th is your day to do whatever the hell you want, and no one can say anything about it because it's National Everything You Do Is Right day. The possibilities are endless and no one is allowed to critique your decisions until the stroke of midnight.
Aries — Don't Go to Work Unless It's Fun Day
You read that right. If you need an excuse to have your own Ferris Bueller-style day off, April 3rd is the perfect day. We're not sure how your boss is going to take that excuse, but that's a problem for April 4th.
Taurus — National Pigs In A Blanket Day
April 24th is National Pigs In a Blanket Day, which you can interpret and celebrate however you choose to. You can either eat only hot dogs and crescent rolls all day, or if you're a vegetarian, you can roll yourself up in your comforter and pretend you are the pig in a blanket.
Gemini — National Old Maid's Day
As if you needed another reason to celebrate being a spinster, June 4th is National Old Maid's Day, and you can celebrate being single for the rest of your life in whichever way you feel is best, but we're guessing it will probably involve wine.
Cancer — National Yellow Pig Day
This is a truly weird one, and you might think we're making it up, but July 17th is Yellow Pig Day, and it doesn't have anything to do with pigs. It's a holiday created by mathematicians (who knew that was a thing?), and the main point of the day is to do 17 acts of kindness throughout your day.
Leo — Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day
That's certainly a mouthful, isn't it? August 7th is Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day, the point of which is to bring attention to companies that are wasting resources with their packaging. Leos are passionate people who love to fight for a cause, so if you're an eco-warrior, August 7th is your day to shine.
Virgo — Be Late For Something Day
Virgos are known for being punctual people—in fact, they’re often the first person to show up to any sort of social event—but on September 5th, they’re given permission to be late for something. They might not like it or take the opportunity, but if they needed a reason, Be Late For Something Day is that reason.
Libra — Ask A Stupid Question Day
There's no such thing as a stupid question—except there definitely is—but on September 30th, Libras are allowed to ask as many stupid questions as they want and no one can get upset about it!
Scorpio — Howl At The Moon Day And Night
Scorpio season is always a wild time of year, and if you're looking to truly embrace your wild side, then October 26th is just the day you've been waiting for. Howl at the Moon Day and Night lets you embrace your spooky side ahead of Halloween and spice up your night life a little bit.
Sagittarius — Stay Home Because You're Well Day
Staying home sick is one thing, but on November 30th, you're encouraged to embrace that Sagittarius adventurous side and stay home simply because you're well. Everyone deserves a break, so use this day to stay at home and do something fun just because.
Capricorn — Feast Of Fabulous Wild Men Day
January 12th is the day you truly never knew you needed, but it can be your new favorite day to celebrate in Capricorn season: the Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day. There's no specific way to celebrate the holiday, and the origins of it aren't completely clear, but do you really need a reason to celebrate fabulous wild men?
Aquarius — National Break Up With Your Carrier Day
The only person it's socially acceptable to break up with on February 13th is your carrier, which is why it's National Break Up With Your Carrier Day! It's time to quit that phone plan you've been putting off dealing with and get yourself a plan that will keep you from constantly going over your data limit.
Pisces — Public Sleeping Day
One weakness of Pisces is their desire to escape reality, which is why February 28th is the perfect holiday for them to celebrate! Public Sleeping Day means it's acceptable for you to nap on the bus to school or in the middle of a conversation at work that you don't want to be a part of.
Aries — Respect Your Cat Day
Apparently, cats are sick of being disrespected and feel they need their own day dedicated to them, so on March 28th, every Aries can celebrate Respect Your Cat Day! If you don't have a cat, go respect someone else's.
Taurus — National Be A Millionaire Day
Taurus' love money—who doesn't, right? They're often people who are good with money and good with managing their spending, so National Be A Millionaire Day on May 20th falls at the perfect time.
Gemini — National Upsy Daisy Day
It's no secret that Geminis have a tendency to be a little all over the place when it comes to their personalities or their decisions, which is why National Upsy Daisy day should be their new favorite holiday. June 8th is the day to wake up positively and celebrate the grace of another day without any worries or decisions.
Cancer — Let It Go Day
Pretend you're starring as Elsa in Frozen and just let everything go on June 23rd. Cancers hold on to things and can be pessimistic people, but on June 23rd you can let all your emotions out, say goodbye to all your grudges, and move the heck on.
Leo — National Gorgeous Grandma Day
A little different than Old Maid's Day, July 23rd is National Gorgeous Grandma Day, a day to celebrate that special senior woman in your life. Leos are generous people who love to help others, so use some of that generosity to do something for your grandma!
Virgo — More Herbs, Less Salt Day
If you’re looking for a reason to cut back the salt in your diet or to cut back on how salty you are in general, today’s your day. August 29th is the yearly More Herbs, Less Salt Day you never knew you needed.
Libra — Pay Back A Friend Day
Libras are not typically the type to borrow money and not pay it back, but they are the type who would expect their friends to pay back a $2 bill because they believe in fairness. October 17th is the day you can convince your friends to pay you back.
Scorpio — National Men Make Dinner Day
Maybe you live in a household where men make dinner every day, but for those of you who don't, November 5th is the day for you to force your man to make you dinner because it's a national day and you deserve it.
Sagittarius — Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day
The origins of this day aren't entirely clear, but December 8th is the national day to pretend to be a time traveler, so who are we to argue with that?
Capricorn — Still Need To Do Day
Capricorns are known for being the realistic, practical person of the friend group, which is why Still Need To Do Day on December 29th is just the holiday they need. Christmas is over, your extended family has gone back to their own houses, and the new year is coming fast, so the 29th is the day to get your life together before you post a "New Year, New Me" quote on your Instagram.
