Aries: Arri will be more patient

“This year, I will wait my turn.” Arri wrote it in big letters, then got impatient waiting for the pen and finished it in crayon.

Lasted: four minutes.

Taurus: Taur will try something new

Taur bravely promised to try a new flavour of crisps. He bought them, looked at them for a long time, then went back to the old ones.

Lasted: one very tense afternoon.

Gemini: Gem & Eye will make one decision

Just one. All year. They chose “pizza or pasta” as the decision, then spent until March deciding which decision to make.

Lasted: still deciding.

Cancer: Canny will say no sometimes

Canny promised to stop saying yes to everything. Then Taur asked for a sandwich, Leo asked for a favour and Pike asked for a hug. Canny said yes, yes and yes.

Lasted: 11 minutes.

Leo: Leo will let someone else go first

Leo bravely let Libby through a door first. Then announced it to the whole street, and asked for a round of applause.

Lasted: technically all year, but with a lot of speeches about it.

Virgo: Virgo will leave one thing untidy

One sock, out of place, for one whole day. Virgo lasted three hours, then tidied the sock and reorganised the drawer as an apology.

Lasted: three hours. Virgo would like that corrected to 3 hours 4 minutes.

Libra: Libby will pick a favourite

A favourite colour, a favourite food, a favourite Astrominal. She picked pink, then cake, then everybody.

Lasted: still technically going. She’s very proud.

Scorpio: Score will share a secret

Score told Gem & Eye one secret. It was the date of her birthday. It’s on her birthday cards.

Lasted: done in one go. Score considers this a success.

Sagittarius: Sagg will stay in one place for a week

Sagg sat on the sofa on 1 January and lasted until lunchtime, then “popped out for milk” and was next seen in Iceland.

Lasted: half a morning.

Capricorn: Cap will take a day off

Cap took a full day off on 2 January and spent it planning the rest of the year, with a spreadsheet, colour coding and a mission statement.

Lasted: Cap insists this counted.

Aquarius: Aqua will spend more time with friends

Aqua spent a whole evening with the other Astrominals, and had a wonderful time, while also building a robot that could attend future evenings for her.

Lasted: the robot is still going.

Pisces: Pike will remember things

Pike wrote her resolution on her flipper so she wouldn’t forget it. Then went for a swim.

Lasted: until the first swim.

Which Astrominal are you? Whatever your sign, it doesn’t matter if your resolution lasts four minutes or all year. Try again tomorrow. Arri does, every single day.
