The Best Massage for You

You probably know that massage is one of the best ways to relieve stress ... but with so many different types to choose from, how do you decide which is right for you? Let the zodiac reveal which type of massage best suits your Sun sign's needs!

Aries
You like to rush into things head-first, so relieving tension in your skull can persuade you to slow down. Cranial sacral massage will help relieve all that built-up pressure.

Taurus
Nothing makes you happier than a chance to indulge your sensual side. Combining soothing scents with a relaxing touch, an aromatherapy massage will provide you with a multi-sensory experience while relieving tension in every area of your body.

Gemini
As an Air sign, you tend to overstimulate your nervous system. That's why reiki massage is a good choice to help yourself calm down and quiet your mind. This subtle modality can help heal blocked emotions and release pent-up stress.

Cancer
You tend to carry tension and stored emotions in your stomach. Chi Nei Tsang massage, a healing modality that focuses on the torso, is an ideal way for you to relax, all while feeling nurtured and rejuvenated.

Leo
You always like to look your best, and you're most relaxed when you feel confident in your appearance. A facial massage will not only make you look younger, but will help relieve any tension you may be storing in this critical area.

Virgo
Your digestive organs are the first areas to show stress. For this reason, it's good for you to periodically get a lymphatic massage, which will help release any toxins that may be polluting your body.

Libra
Anything done in pairs makes you happy, so getting a tandem massage with two practitioners is sure to bring you the balance you're looking for. Request fragrant aromatherapy oils to sweeten your experience!

Scorpio
You like almost anything that goes beneath the surface, so deep tissue massage is an ideal choice for you. This intense bodywork can help you relieve points of tension you may have been holding onto for years.

Sagittarius
With your athletic, active personality, you probably encounter your fair share of sore muscles. A sports massage will address these areas of your body and help soothe overworked muscles and joints.

Capricorn
You're a traditional type and not too fond of surprises, so a tried-and-true Swedish massage will offer a relaxing experience you can count on. It's sure to relieve stress in your back and shoulders -- the two places you typically carry most of your tension.

Aquarius
You tend to vibrate at a high frequency, and your body's electrical circuits can sometimes overload and short out. An acupressure or Shiatsu treatment will help balance your meridians, which serve as your body's energy network.

Pisces
Nothing soothes you more than water, so a Watsu massage -- which is done entirely in water -- will gently soothe your mind, body and spirit, while melting tension away with ease.
