6 Zodiacs Who Are Most Likely To Embrace Sobriety
Alcohol consumption is the lowest it’s been since the prohibition era here in America. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 54% of U.S. adults said they consumed alcohol, which is a record low.
As more and more people are either completely abstaining or just drinking less. The sober-curious movement is on the rise, with the primary reason being a greater focus on health and wellness. While Gen Z has been at the forefront of this, being named the “most sober generation,” this isn’t just a trend among young people, but a collective awakening to either limit or completely cut out booze. Some people could be predisposed to living sans substance based on their star sign. These are the six zodiac signs who are most likely to embrace or be curious about a sober lifestyle.
Gemini
Your mind is so alive with imagination, information and bright ideas, you have a natural buzz going on. That infamous creativity and charisma are best served in pure form, as you revel in chatting up a room with your quick wit and sharp humor. No liquid courage needed when it comes to socializing. Being ruled by agile Mercury, you might especially enjoy the mental clarity and vitality that sobriety brings. Brain fog typically tends to make you uncomfortable and anxious anyway. For a sign that’s always on the go, another stellar plus is never having to worry about how you’re going to get there and back. The world literally becomes your transportation oyster. Oh, the places you’ll go, the people you’ll meet and clearly remember talking to! While you are innately curious, sober living could be an experiment that becomes a part of a new and improved lifestyle.
Virgo
If anyone is health conscious, or just conscious in general— it’s you Virgo! Clean and sober living is very likely to float your boat. First things first, you like to be in control, so losing it isn’t your idea of a good time. While it does serve you to let loose every now and then, there are plenty of other ways to do that, sans substance; like expressing yourself artistically or trying something new and daring. As someone who prides themselves on the integrity and efficiency of their work, you also like to avoid anything that makes you sluggish or hinders performance. You make it a priority to keep your mind sharp and stay on-top of your physical and mental wellbeing. If you’re taking a more holistic approach to lifestyle, limiting or cutting out alcohol is a huge support. Sobriety helps you up your game, connect deeper with yourself and suits your personal and professional goals just fine.
Libra
You prefer to keep your balance— thank you very much. Always perfectly poised, “sloppy” is never something you want to be. This is why you’re likely to embrace a more sober-curious lifestyle. Whenever booze is involved tension tends to escalate and you’re too pretty to fight… even if it’s just an exchange of ugly words. Saying no to intoxication helps keep the peace in your close and cherished relationships. As an Air sign you base your decisions on logic and reason, anything that alters that ability might not be your cup of tea. It’s chronically hard for you to make certain choices even in a clear state. Your mind is equipped to weigh things out. The release of inhibition that inebriation brings is liberating, but bypassing this crucial step of your process sometimes leads to regret, guilt or shame. While the social and mental aspects of sobriety suit you, let’s talk beauty benefits. Ruled by vibrant Venus, it’s important that you look and feel good. Cutting out alcohol improves skin, reduces inflammation or bloating and allows you to truly wield your own vitality. Sober living brings you inner-tranquility, mental clarity and lets you truly shine.
Sagittarius
Every Archer needs a wild child phase. If there is one thing you love, it’s a party and as a Fire sign you tend to be life of it. Once you go through a reckless stage and get it out of your system, your higher self becomes the driver of your decisions. It is much easier for you to wake up and realize the error of your ways. As you mature you start to accumulate wisdom, which you gather from all your life experiences. When you begin to expand and refine your perception of the world, alcohol can become less and less appealing. Ruled by Jupiter, you tend to be connected to your own divinity, but booze only cuts that cord. As a Sagittarius, you have a calling to be a wayshower or guide in some form or fashion, and you need your wits about you to do just that. With the funds you save from either limiting or completely cutting the hooch, you also have more resources for things that actually light you up. This makes your life more fulfilling and meaningful, than a passing fancy cocktail or a rowdy night out on the town ever could. You’re always up for an adventure and while sobriety may be a journey, it’s one worth taking.
Capricorn
Hangovers aren’t really your style. You’ve got sky high ambitions and need a clear head to accomplish that long list of goals. By cutting out booze, you not only gain more time for yourself, but spend less frivolous money— a win for both you and your wallet. Plus, alcohol is a depressant and you especially have to be mindful when it comes to your mood. Drinking makes it much harder to regulate your own thoughts and emotions. While you like to think of your mindset as realistic, you do have a tendency to drift towards pessimism. So regular drinking or becoming too intoxicated in general has the potential to slip you into depression. You have an empire and legacy to build, and need to give priority to what fuels you. Sobriety can ignite your passion, enthusiasm and drive, while being inebriated only diminishes it. If you’re sober-curious, it may just be the key to your next level of success.
Aquarius
You probably don’t have a problem being the only sober person at the function. Standing out from the crowd and living life differently is kind of your thing. Let’s be honest Aquarius, you really don’t like to be under the influence of anyone or anything. This is why you’re likely to embrace sober living. While alcohol is often used as a social lubricant, you don’t need it when chatting up strangers or new acquaintances. In fact, it only hinders the real connection you’re trying to make, and as someone who is ruled by the planet Uranus you are a little more conscious than most. You prefer to be aware of your surroundings at all times, but this planetary rulership also makes you more likely to rebel— and if you’re too far gone that could come with some unintended consequences. Use that inner rebel to say no to the poison that culture and society pushes as “the norm.” You are way too innovative and unique to let something outside yourself take control.
