From your skin-care routine to a long, crisp walk in the fresh air, self-care is something that we take very seriously at Martha Brook, and we think should be high up on everyone’s lists of priorities. Looking after ourselves helps to create a sense of calm, balance, and control amongst the pressures of everyday life and taking time for you is key! We’d be lying if we said we didn’t take a sneak to the back of our magazines to find out what the universe has in store for us this month so in celebration of the launch of The Zodiac Box, we found out how aligning your self-care tips according to your star sign can actually help you look after yourself on a whole new level…

What are zodiac signs?

You might know which zodiac sign, or star sign, is yours (thank you, Cosmo!) but have you ever wondered what they actually are? Let us help! Dating back to the Babylonians some 3,000 years ago, each zodiac sign was named after a constellation the sun travelled through whilst moving through the sky every year.

Fun fact incoming… there are not 12 but 13 constellations the sun moves through and if we want to get technical the sun doesn’t pass through each constellation for an equal amount of time, as our star signs may allude to, but it must have made sense for astrologers back in the day to give each zodiac sign an equal measure of time here or there and to neaten the number to 12 to match each month in the year! Read on for our self-care tips according to your star sign.
