3) Opt for holiday decorations that speak to your personality
The cardinal or culture bearer signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn) can design spaces that facilitate connection with others, be it family, friends, or even pets. The fixed or self-exploration signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius) may fill their space with beautiful objects and reflect what they know about themselves – think mirrors and items that relate to your personal experiences. The mutable or service-to-spirit signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces) would do well to design with what invokes the sacred, anything from statues to crystals to natural objects. -Jaime Fleres, Soul Astrologer, Sacred Heart Healing Arts
4) Decorate using inspiration from your astrology sign element
Fire signs, think campfire vibes. Water signs, you need some snowflakes. Air signs, add scented diffusers to your space. Earth signs, you deserve a real tree this year. –Rosy Mack
5) Choose decor elements that make you smile
When you go home, you should be greeted with a sight that makes you smile. For fiery Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, it might be a red door featuring your holiday art, while for Air signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini), opt for something cool and cerebral, like a sky blue door with a welcoming Wind Dancer. For Water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, a navy or black door with a mystical angel, and for earthy signs Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo, a blue or green door with greenery and ornaments in a planter. –Linda Sherwin Consulting
6) Spread holiday cheer by playing to your signs’ design traits
Expect Aries, Leo, and Sagitarrius to put on a show with their dazzling light display, ginormous trees, and animatronic Santas. Meanwhile, Earth signs like Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn may scale it back with a classic, minimalist approach, including sustainable holiday trees, homemade ornaments, and lots of pleasing-to-the-touch fabrics. Count on Water(Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) and Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) to break the mold, preferring non-traditional color schemes, multi-holiday decorated rooms, punk rock gnomes, and seaweed snacks for Santa. –Little Crab Astrology
