Even for the most organized, attempting to declutter our homes isn't always something we look forward to. While we may feel at ease having cleared surfaces and polished presentation, decluttering isn't everyone's strong suit.

Luckily, plenty of tips and tricks online can help those of us who struggle with getting rid of unnecessary items that crowd our counters and shelves. However, depending on our personalities, schedules, and, yes, our zodiac signs, some of these tips work better for some than others.

Check out your sign below to see which decluttering tip is best for your zodiac sign.

Aries: Clean in Bursts

As a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, you have plenty of experience starting a task. Yet when it comes to decluttering your space, it's easier to put it off and focus on something else, even if you know it's on the to-do list.

The secret is to harness those bursts of energy you're prone to and declutter as much as you can before your focus turns elsewhere. You can be exceptionally productive when you put your mind to it, so use those adrenaline moments to sort, store, and dispose of until the space is clutter-free.

Taurus: Ask Yourself If It's "Useful or Beautiful"

As a Venus-ruled Earth sign, you may find it challenging to know which items are useful or taking up space. Following this advice when decluttering your home can allow you to eliminate unnecessary things that are collecting dust without sacrificing your aesthetic.

Gemini: Invest in Multi-Use Pieces

It's no secret you have a reputation for accumulating things, Gemini. Whether it involves a new hobby or a current decor trend you're in love with, items can quickly add up—and your air sign nature can always come up with a reason to keep things on hand instead of getting rid of them.

Your best solution is to invest in multi-use pieces, including furniture that doubles as storage or items that can be repurposed into hanging decor so you can keep flat spaces clear and less cluttered.

Cancer: Gift or Donate the Keepsakes

It's not the easiest to declutter when items hold sentimental value. Your sensitive water sign approach can make it challenging to let items go, mainly if it means throwing them away.

An option that can make purging items easier is donating to a charity close to your heart or getting more personal by gifting some favorite items to friends and family who you know will enjoy them just as much. If you feel you're giving items a new purpose, it won't feel devastating to let them go.

Leo: Purge Your Closet

Your closet isn't solely about your clothes and shoes, Leo, but it makes for a great starting point. Going through your closet and removing clothing you know you're never wearing again, or ones that don't belong in the first place, can create more space for the new. If you can thoroughly declutter your closet space, you can take on anything.

Virgo: Use the "90/90" Rule

You may not be a minimalist, Virgo, but you can appreciate the approach to organization. You work best with a plan, so follow the "90/90" rule, which states if you haven't used an item for the past 90 days and won't use it in the next 90 days, you should get rid of it. This is an excellent method to help you rid yourself of items you may otherwise be tempted to bury in storage.

Libra: Focus on Balance

Your sign is most known for its association with balance and harmony, Libra, which can make or break you in terms of clutter. Your Venus-ruled tendencies make beauty a priority, so look around and focus on what makes your space look unbalanced and unkempt. You know that curating a visually pleasing space involves making tough calls, but you’re more than capable.

Scorpio: Use the "80/20" Rule

When it comes to cleaning and decluttering, you envision a full-scale transformation of your space—but you can quickly become overwhelmed by the daunting tasks that pile up. Incorporating the “80/20” rule can help you focus on tasks that make a more significant visual impact up front, making the rest of your tasks easier.

Sagittarius: Use the "One in, One Out" Rule

As a sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, you know your capability to accumulate things without realizing it. While collecting souvenirs and keepsakes can be fun, it can also create more clutter than you can handle.

If you aren’t sure where to start, try using the “one in, one out” rule—if you buy something new to take home, you must get rid of something to make room for it. While it may take some time to see the significant change, it can help keep your space under control.

Capricorn: Make Decluttering Part of a Bigger Goal

You know the value of a clean, organized home, Capricorn, but you also have other pressing issues that command your attention. Rather than fixating on what needs to be decluttered, try refocusing the task as part of a bigger goal.

If you’ve been planning on doing some home renovations, for example, decluttering is a significant step to help prepare for the work you’ll be doing—and can make it feel more rewarding in the long run.

Aquarius: Get Creative With Your Storage

You are all about the unconventional—with Uranus as your ruling planet, how could you not? Decluttering can feel daunting when you’re checking off a to-do list, so opt for creative solutions to storing or displaying your items, such as storing your CDs and vinyl on a bookshelf rather than stacked on your coffee table.

Pisces: Break Down Larger Tasks

As a sign that is ruled by dreamy Neptune, you know that while you may have good intentions of getting something done, you may not always follow through if you put off the task. Instead of trying to force yourself to declutter all at once, do it in small doses as you go about your day.

See some books on the table that should be put away? Shelve them before you leave the room. If you break it down a little at a time, the space will be clutter-free before you know it.
