Most people’s New Year’s resolutions include something cleaning-related. But broad resolutions like, ‘I’ll keep the house clean in 2025,’ are hard to stick to. This year, be more intentional about your commitments by setting actionable and attainable cleaning goals instead.
But with so may potential chores to choose from, where should you start? Consider looking to your zodiac sign to tailor your home cleaning resolutions. To help you start the year on the right foot, professional astrologer Ivana Naskova shares a specific resolution that’s best for each of the star signs.
“Cleaning is more than just a daily task,” Naskova says. “As we all know, everything is composed of energy, and organizing and tidying your living space allows that energy to flow and uplift you.” Each of these cleaning resolutions is personalized to the star sign, designed to help enhance their wellbeing and create a harmonious atmosphere that promotes self-care, productivity, and inspiration.

Aries: Start the Day by Making Your Bed
“Making your bed every morning is an excellent cleaning resolution because it provides immediate results and gives you a sense of accomplishment,” Naskova says. She describes Aries as the zodiac that’s fast, competitive, and seeks quick results. The task of making your bed every morning only takes a couple of minutes, but is an excellent way to start off on a productive note. “Although you may only sleep briefly as you are always on the move, a made bed certainly looks more attractive and inviting when you come home feeling tired,” Naskova adds.
Taurus: Clean Your Refrigerator Once a Week
One of the key characteristics of a Taurus is their love of food, which Naskova says earns them the title of ‘the Zodiac’s foodie.’ Add cleaning the fridge to your weekly list of chores. Not only will it help you stay on top of what you have and help cut down on food waste, Naskova says it’s a good way to keep your grocery list updated. “A clean and organized refrigerator will not only make you feel good but will also encourage you to eat healthy and nutritious meals,” she says.

Gemini: Pick Up Clothes Before Going To Bed
Geminis live fast-paced lives and often embrace chaos, however, Naskova explains that too much disorder can be overwhelming for this zodiac’s overactive mind. For this reason, she suggests eliminating the dreaded clothes chair. “To maintain some control, make it a habit to return your clothes to their designated places every night,” she says. Taking a couple minutes to toss items in the hamper or hang up a garment will help keep your space, and therefore your mind, clutter-free and allow you to wake up to a clean and organized bedroom.
Cancer: Wash Your Bedding Every Week
“There’s nothing quite like going to bed in a fresh, clean set of bedding that smells delightful,” Naskova says. She recommends Cancers make it their cleaning resolution to wash bedding once a week to ensure a good night’s sleep. “It will help you feel much more rested and recharged, especially on those emotionally exhausting days,” she says.

Leo: Clean Mirrors Once a Week
If you’re a Leo, Naskova’s recommendation for your home cleaning resolution is to clean your mirrors once a week. “This isn’t about vanity, but about the flow of energy and the confidence you gain from looking at yourself in a clean mirror and being reminded of how amazing you are, Leo,” she says. These mirrors include vanity mirrors in the bathroom or powder room, a floor mirror in the bedroom, or a wall mirror over an entryway console.
Virgo: Vacuum Your Welcome Mat Weekly
When it comes to Virgos, Naskova explains that this star sign traditionally loves cleaning and organizing. “Although life can get busy and may prevent you from keeping everything in order every day, your welcome mat at the door serves as a reminder to stay calm, even if there are a few dirty dishes left in the sink,” she says. Make it a habit to give your door mat a quick vacuum every two days to ensure the entrance to your home is clean and organized, just as you like it.

Libra: Clean and Declutter Makeup Products Regularly
“As a Libra, your ruling planet is Venus, which symbolizes beauty,” Naskova says. As a result, she suggests that Libras focus their home cleaning resolutions on their makeup and skincare collection. “Keeping your makeup and cosmetics clean and organized makes life easier for you, as you find comfort in looking good,” she says, adding that your nightly beauty routine will be much more efficient if you declutter your makeup vanity and get rid of old, used up, or never used items.
Scorpio: Clean Your Shoes Consistently
Scorpios are the zodiac known for their desire for power, and Naskova suggests you channel that into cleaning your shoes regularly. She explains that keeping your shoes spotless will help you feel more confident and empowered. “Clean shoes can say a lot about a person, and well-maintained footwear can serve as a subtle source of strength,” she says.
Sagittarius: Clean Out Your Car Once a Week
“As a free spirit, Sagittarius, your vehicle is essential for your adventures,” Naskova says. She explains that this zodiac sign doesn’t cope well in closed spaces, and prefers to spend their time outdoors, especially driving and traveling to new destinations. If you’re a Sagittarius, take Naskova’s advice and deep clean your vehicle once a week. “Keeping your car clean not only boosts your mental clarity but also enhances your desire to embark on your next journey,” she says.

Capricorn: Clean Your Windows Regularly
Naskova says Capricorns are all about ambition and the future they want to see for themselves. But you can’t see a clear future through a dirty window. Make it a habit to regularly clean your windows, whether that’s once a week or once a month, in order to gain a clearer picture when it comes to your goals and future. (You can even make your own window cleaner!) “It is always beneficial to sit in front of a clean window and gaze at the horizon, planning to expand beyond it,” Naskova says.
Aquarius: Clean Your Storage Spaces Once a Month
As a Capricorn, Naskova says you probably love discovering new things and getting lost in your own world. “Tidying up your storage regularly will not only help you feel good but also allow you to uncover useful and interesting items each month,” she says. Storage spaces can include everything from pantries to closets to the garage. “Think of it as an exciting exploration quest,” Naskova suggests.
Pisces: Deep Clean Your Bathroom Every Week
When it comes to the Pisces star sign, Naskova recommends focusing on keeping your bathroom clean and tidy. “Of course the bathroom is your favorite place, as it likely includes your tub or shower where you take relaxing baths or showers every day,” she says. “Keeping this room clean and smelling nice, perhaps with the help of some aromatic candles, will surely make your day better.” Make it your new year’s cleaning resolution to deep clean the bathroom every week so that it remains a calm and serene space for you to unwind in.
