The Activity Each Zodiac Must Try This Weekend (8/16 – 8/18)

Aries: Rock climbing

You don’t need to spend a ton of time learning the ropes (literally) or venturing outside to make rock climbing an easy weekend activity. Just walk into a gym near you and hop on the wall. To go bouldering, you won’t need any instruction at all – it’s fun, it’s thrilling, and it’s an activity you’ll definitely enjoy. If you’re more interested in rock climbing (with ropes), you can learn the skill in a weekend by simply having a staff member belay you in a private rock climbing session. Though you might wish this activity could last all day, there’s no one who isn’t wiped out after a two or three hour session. 

Taurus: Visiting a botanical garden

You’ll love the opportunity to be surrounded by nature in a relaxed, calming environment. There’s no pressure to reach a particular destination as with hiking, and the pace tends to be even calmer than just going for a walk. You’ll be given plenty of opportunities to sit and enjoy the view, which will help relax and inspire your mind. Botanical gardens are a refreshing yet simple weekend activity – you can spend just a half hour in one or the entire day. 

Gemini: Roller blading

More than just a way to get some cardio in, rollerblading is a great way to have fun with friends (or make some new ones). From skating along to your favorite songs to participating in skating games, spending a few hours of your weekend at the rink is a fun activity whether you’re with a group or on your own. Best of all, it’s relatively easy to pick up, so if you’ve never been before, you won’t need to dedicate tons of time to learning to skate. 

Cancer: Pottery class

Whether you’re interested in pottery painting or forming the entire thing yourself, a pottery class is a great activity for a creative sign like you, Cancer. It’s a good way to burn off some steam during the weekend and enjoy a quiet day to yourself or some quality time with those close to you. It’s often important to you to have a sentimental souvenir of memories or times that are important to you – what better way to save a memory than by leaving class with a handcrafted piece of pottery? 

Leo: Open mic night

Whether you’re looking to perform something yourself or just watch others…Well, let’s face it, Leo, you’re going to want to perform. Not only does this give you a way to enjoy performing some of your hobbies for others, it can even help to keep you accountable with goals you set for yourself. You’re rarely afraid to put yourself out there, and an open mic night is a fun way to enjoy the spotlight for a few minutes, whether it be in front of friends or total strangers. Best of all, you’ll have a great story to tell the office come Monday…

Virgo: Cooking class

As someone who likes to be precise and is invested in their daily schedule, a cooking class is perfect for you, Virgo. Not only can you learn more about cooking no matter your level – whether you’re looking for beginner classes or trying to make more advanced dishes – you can focus on whatever cuisine and skill you’re trying to learn. This can help with anything from impressing your friends with your baking skills to incorporating meal prepping into your efficient weekly schedule. Plus, you can easily learn a skill in just one class, making it a valuable weekend activity.

Libra: Dancing

Whether you head to a bar with live music, go clubbing, or take a dance class, you might be surprised to know that dancing is a great weekend activity for a Libra. As a sociable and graceful sign, dancing will be relatively easy for you to pull off. Your ruling sign, Venus, means that you love all things aesthetic – you might opt to learn some ballet, go salsa dancing, or just head to the nearest studio that lets you put on stylish clothing to dance in. It’s also a fantastic idea for a romantic date night, which you might appreciate. You can also pull a large group together to spend a dressed-up night out. 

Scorpio: Rage room

You’re very in tune with your inner self, Scorpio. You probably already have a good routine for managing your emotions and de-stressing on the weekends. But have you ever considered heading to a rage room for a therapeutic session of smashing glass and throwing things around? You can bring a group of friends with you or head in for a session alone, and most sessions will only take around an hour or less of your time. Though a rage room might sound like a strange activity, it can be a beneficial way of processing emotions, especially pent-up ones. Or maybe you just want to break stuff with your friends, who knows. You have remarkable self-control, so it can be fun for you to let loose sometimes. 

Sagittarius: Trivia night

You always love learning something new, Sagittarius, and are known to be a wise sign. Because your interests tend to be so varied, you might be a secret trivia ace without even knowing it. But regardless of whether or not the trivia questions are geared towards your specialities, you’ll still have a fun night. Bring along a group of friends or find a table to join in with – at the very least, you’ll probably pick up a few fun facts to wow others with later on. 

Capricorn: Mystery box

If you’re looking for a fun night with friends, bonding time with family, or a fun date idea for your partner, a mystery box is for you – and yes, you can also complete them solo (fewer arguments that way, right?). If you’ve never encountered mystery boxes before, they’re essentially a mystery (usually a murder) in a box that can be solved within a few hours. The box will contain everything you need to solve the mystery – filled with letters from characters, documents, police reports, items from the scene of the crime, and a wide list of suspects. It’s up to you to solve the story yourself (or in a group). This is the perfect weekend night activity for a disciplined, driven person like yourself. 

Aquarius: Arcade

If you’re looking for a way to blow off some steam, relax, and maybe even win some prizes, the arcade is for you. It’s a little nostalgic, offers plenty of different activities to try, and is a great place to go with friends. Knowing your sign, you’ll probably figure out a way to cheat the system and rack up some serious tickets on a single game. 

Pisces: Visiting a farmer’s market

A farmer’s market is the perfect weekend activity for you, Pisces. It gives you plenty of flexibility on where you want to go and how long you want to spend there – and the pieces you find might even inspire some creativity of your own. It’s both practical and exciting, whether you’re looking to find unique purchases or just stock up on fresh groceries. Since you’re also a hopeless romantic, it can be a seriously adorable idea for a date. You’re also likely to find art pieces you connect to and live music to enjoy throughout the day, making it perfect for a creative and imaginative sign like yourself.
