Fire signs -

Confident and charismatic, the fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) certainly have the energy they need to keep a clutter-free home. Whether they have the discipline, however, is another question.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

The bold first sign of the zodiac, Aries is no stranger to starting difficult tasks. They sometimes find it difficult to see things through to the end, however.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

Try to harness those bursts of energy, Aries, and get as much done as you can before you move on to something else. Remember that you can be very productive when you put your mind to it.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

A great place for you to start, Leo, is your closet. Go through your clothes and decide which items to get rid of. This will free up space to add new things.

Leo (July 23–August 22) - Chuck or donate anything that you don't wear, or anything that doesn't belong in your closet in the first place. You'll be surprised how much better you feel afterwards.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

Sagittarius has a unique ability to accumulate a large amount of 'stuff.' But while collecting things can be fun, it can cause a stressful amount of clutter, too.

© Shutterstock

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) - To keep your hoarding tendencies at bay, Sagittarius, try to adopt the 'one in, one out' rule. If you bring home something new, get rid of something old to make space.

Air signs - Highly perceptive, but easily distracted, the air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) have a tendency to be a little chaotic. There are things they can do to find calm in the chaos, however.

© Shutterstock

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Gemini is another sign with a reputation for accumulating lots of things. This sign is always ready with an excuse for not throwing something away.

© Shutterstock

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

A great way for this sign to keep their space clear is to invest in multiuse pieces, such as a bed or a sofa that doubles as a storage unit.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

Libra is a sign that is ruled by balance and beauty. If anything is off-kilter in their space, our Libra friends can feel completely at odds.

© Shutterstock

Libra (September 23–October 23) - Look around yourself, Libra, and work out what is making your space feel unkempt. You might have to make some tough calls, but remember you're more than capable.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Aquarius has a reputation for being the most unconventional of signs, and things are no different when it comes to decluttering their home.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Rather than writing a list and trying to check things off, experiment with creative storage solutions, such as storing CDs or vinyl on a bookshelf rather than on your coffee table.

Water signs -

The emotionally charged water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) can find getting rid of things a bit overwhelming. For these signs, it's all about taking things slow.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 22–July 22) -

Sensitive Cancer can find it very difficult to get rid of things, particularly when they hold some sentimental value. Throwing things away is especially hard.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 22–July 22) - To soften the blow, Cancer, consider donating some items to a charity that is close to your heart, or even gifting them to your friends and family.

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Scorpios have a tendency to fixate on the end result, and when it comes to cleaning and tidying, they like to visualize a full-scale transformation. This quickly becomes overwhelming.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Try to incorporate the 80/20 rule, Scorpio, and focus first on the tasks that make a visual impact more quickly. This should make the rest of your tasks less daunting.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Pisces tend to function best when they break down a larger task into a few smaller ones. This sign shouldn't bother trying to declutter the home all at once.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Instead, Pisces people should do their decluttering in small doses throughout their day. By tidying as you go, Pisces, you'll have things spick and span in no time.

Earth signs -

Last but not least, the earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. If they stick to a plan, these signs should have a clean and tidy home in no time at all.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

Taurus may be an earth sign, but it's also ruled by Venus, and people born under Taurus tend to enjoy the finer things in life. As such, sometimes they hold on to pretty things long after they are useful.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

We know it's tricky, Taurus, but be strict with yourself. Only hold on to items you don't need if they are exceptionally beautiful.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Highly structured and with an analytical brain, Virgo tends to function best when following a plan or a rule. In this case, a good option is the 90/90 rule.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

This rule says that if you haven't used an item in the last 90 days, and you won't use it in the next 90, you should simply get rid of it.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

And finally, Capricorn. At any one time, this sign will have a huge number of things on its plate. It can therefore be difficult to prioritize a clutter-free home.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

To make sure you get your decluttering done, Capricorn, try to frame the task as part of a bigger goal. Perhaps you've been planning a home reno project and you need things to be clear before you can start.
