Astrologer Saloni Chaudhary shares cleaning tips for 12 zodiac signs ahead of Diwali. So Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, gear up!
Your high energy and enthusiasm make you great at whatever task you tackle. When it comes to Diwali cleaning, focus that energy on scrubbing the areas that affect your daily routine. Start by organising the areas you use the most, such as your kitchen and living room. Create a list of tasks and follow through as you complete them. However, avoid trying to deep clean the entire house in one day — spread it out to stay productive.
Taurus, your love of comfort and beauty makes you focus on cleanliness to create a beautiful and elegant environment. Take your time, but don’t overdo it to perfection. Your Diwali cleaning focuses on the areas where you are comfortable, like your bedroom and living space. Once decorated, add your accessories, such as scented candles and blankets, to add comfort.
Gemini, your love of variety and multitasking makes cleaning an enjoyable activity for you. Instead of sticking to one area, you can jump between buildings. This works for you as long as you stay on schedule. Tackle one task at a time per room, focusing on the messiest areas first. Set aside time to ensure that you do not lose time while cleaning.
Cancer, you tend to hold onto things because of emotional attachments, which makes decluttering a little harder. For Diwali, it’s important to let go of things that no longer serve you. Get rid of things you didn’t use last year and start with your closets and storage space.
Leo, you have a vision for luxury and love a home that reflects your personality. Diwali cleaning for you should focus on the areas where you are entertaining guests. Tidy up your living and dining areas, and don’t hesitate to spend money on a few new decor items that can add to the grandeur of your space. Your goal is to create a space that is as stunning and radiant as you are.
Virgo, no one dresses like you! You naturally need to keep things organised and organised. Your cleaning for Diwali is likely to be down to minute details, focusing on removing dust, dirt, and clutter from all surfaces. You love the process but remember to give yourself a break. You don’t need to clean every item at once.
Libra, your love of balance and beauty means your cleaning efforts will focus on creating harmony in your home. Focus on chaotic or chaotic areas for Diwali. Start with your entryway and living room, bring in new flowers, or rearrange furniture to increase the energy level. You may want to clean up in pairs or invite a friend to help since you want to work together.
Scorpio, you approach purity with energy and are not afraid to go deeper into the hidden corners of your home. Focus on cleaning storage areas, cupboards, and even floors for Diwali. This will also help you remove the emotional baggage that can equate to your transformative nature. Use this cleanse period as a time to recover and start anew.
Sagittarius, you are looking for new ideas and places, so Diwali cleaning can be a fun adventure for you. Focus on areas that are overlooked or need a different approach. Clean out bookshelves, rearrange travel souvenirs, and bring incentives. Keep things light and fun so you don’t get overwhelmed with work.
Capricorn, your advantages mean you will approach purity with a clear plan and determination. Focus on creating long-term planning solutions for Diwali, especially in operational and storage areas. Invest in the right storage facilities and robust storage solutions. You’re all about efficiency, so find ways to decorate smarter and easier.
Aquarius, your innovative and forward-thinking mindset means you’re likely to find unconventional ways to decorate and organise your space. For Diwali, focus on decorating spaces where you spend time creatively, like your home office or study area. Incorporate additional technology or storage devices to make the process easier and more enjoyable for you.
Pisces, you are highly sensitive and emotional, so cleaning for you is as much about creating a state of calm as it is about decluttering. Start by cleaning the areas that are draining your energy. Focus on your bed and relaxation area. Once decorated, add soft fabrics, pastel colours, and soothing scents to enhance your space
