This is actually a great year for you to get ambitious and try something new. Horoscope.com says, "Your ruler is powerful Mars, and you start the year with it going full speed ahead in your sign. This gives you an incredible power boost and sets a great tone for the rest of the year regarding goals and ambitions." You have a lot to say in 2019, especially in the beginning of the year, so focus on a hobby that lets you get your message out there — like writing. Start a blog, write that book you've been thinking about, or pitch out to magazines and newspapers. And if you don't like to write, maybe try podcasting or vlogging.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

As a stubborn, hard-working Taurus, you'd take on any new hobby with gusto. And since it seems like 2019 might be a big year of change for you, you should pick a hobby that will really get you out there. Tarot.com says, "You might notice that you're feeling an overall sense of restlessness — a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of your life and any perceived lack of freedom to be who you know you are and do what your heart desires." If that's the case, you might want to try taking up hiking. Getting outside, exploring, and seeing new things could be just what you need this year.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Tina Gong/ Bustle

This upcoming year could be the year you become a little more intuitive than usual. Tarot.com says, "You'll also find yourself going within more in 2019. Uranus will shift into your private 12th House of Privacy on March 6, making you more likely to pursue an unusual interest in solitude rather than publicly." This is a good time to look within. Try taking up meditation or yoga this year - something that will relax you, allow you to really get in your head, and assist in your intuition.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Tina Gong/ Bustle

As a Cancer, you typically like to keep to yourself more and enjoy your alone time, and 2019 won't be any different. Horoscope.com says, "You do feel things deeply, but right now you'd much rather keep your thoughts to yourself than put them out there for everyone to see (and critique)." Take on a hobby that will allow you to just be with yourself, like making a point to read more often, or taking up long walks each day.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Tina Gong/ Bustle

This is a pretty big year for you, Leo. Tarot.com says, "You're reinventing yourself in a significant way, and the universe will absolutely push you out of your comfort zone during this process. Lean into it, because fighting the changes will only make it hurt -- and it doesn't have to!" You love to be the center of attention always, especially this year, so take on a hobby that will let you do just that. Why not try taking on the hobby of stand-up comedy and going to some open mic nights? If anyone is up for the challenge, it's you!

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

Tina Gong/ Bustle

You're as practical as ever, Virgo, and that personality trait is going to help you find success in the new year. You'll want to pick a hobby that gives you something to do and feels like it's improving your life — not just something random and fun. Try taking up cooking and testing out all different kinds of recipes.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
