The word zodiac means “circle of animals” in its Greek origin, which reflects the prominence of animals within the 12 different zodiac signs. While the division of zodiac signs originates in Babylonian astronomy and can be dated back to the first half of the first millennium, it wasn’t until around the end of the fifth century BC that Babylonian astronomers divided up the 12 signs and correlated them to the calendar year of 12 months.

Based on the position of the planets, the sun and the moon at the time of birth, each zodiac sign, astrologists say, provides a little bit of insight about a person’s basic characteristics.

That’s right: Astrology advocates contend that each zodiac sign is associated with specific personality traits. And, since weight loss isn’t always “one size fits all,” today we’re tapping into the personality traits astrologists associate with each zodiac sign to dish out a personalized advice for reaching your goals.

Here is a weight loss tip for every zodiac sign:

Aries

Born: March 21-April 19

Strengths: Adventurous and energetic. Pioneering and courageous. Enthusiastic and confident. Dynamic and quick-witted.

Weaknesses: Selfish and quick-tempered. Impulsive and impatient. Foolhardy and daredevil.

Weight loss tip: As an Aries, you likely feel confident in a lot of areas of your life. You know what you want and you go for it. If you can take that kind of approach with weight loss, you’ll set yourself up for success. But running on the treadmill is likely not going to cut it for you. You must also feed your adventurous side with exciting workouts like hiking, dancing or outdoor sports.
