Aries: Fire Sign (March 21 – April 19)

For a passionate fire sign like Aries, you will want home decor that energizes you: think bold colors, like reds, oranges or yellows to add pops of color that really make a statement. You care less about comfort than about the wow-factor, so go crazy with some brag-worthy pieces, like a designer chair that you’d rather look at than sit in. Just make sure to include ample storage that’s out of eye-sight: we all know you don’t like to clean or organize. – Kristina Semos Astrologer and owner of AstroOils®

Aries is bold, fiery and passionate. If you’re Aries or want your home to represent this energy, you’ll want to choose warm colours and include elements of fire. Perhaps a fireplace, a portable heater, or simply pick warm light bulbs for your favourite lamps. – Julia Topaz, LUTS Astrology

When designing the interior of your home your style is “go big” even at home. Incorporating a money piece into each room will have you feel you are living your best life. Homes with a grand staircase, tall ceilings, gorgeous lighting, a chandelier, or a beautiful furniture piece or accent in each room are perfect for Aries. – Helene Cierzo, Heart House Astrology 

Taurus: Earth Sign (April 20 – May 20)

Think rustic. Taurus is the zodiac sign most connected to the Earth. This is why a rustic design will bring warmth to their home, filled with wood or stone. Integrating furnishings that feel incorporated from the outdoors allows this lover of pleasure and simplicity to feel elegant and at peace. – Kyle Thomas Astrology, @mrkylethomas

As an earth sign, a home with a beautiful garden close to nature will keep you smiling. You require the peaceful sounds of the birds singing in the morning to get you going, and you need to feel the grass under your feet within your private space every day, so opt for a home that has a touch of nature. – Ask Astrology 

You have an aesthetic eye and value for comfort and luxury. Create a budget so you don’t go overboard. Start with earth tones and accent with splashes of vibrant color. Look for plush fabrics and plenty of throw pillows. Place plants near windows. Allow each room to be inviting and sensual. – Liv Woodford, Astrologer, LIV BY DESIGN Astrology

Gemini: Air Sign (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini homeowners: When designing your home, it is important to create a space where you can escape to for reading and writing. When decorating your office space, a large bookshelf is perfect for storing your reading treasures. Keeping the space open, and bright, with a less is more vibe will create the perfect atmosphere for Geminis. – Helene Cierzo, Heart House Astrology 

Gemini people tend to be skilled communicators and life-long learners. You also tend to be a multi-tasker, which can quickly derail your living space into chaos. You above all else need a beautiful desk that can help you feel contained- one you love and can happily work at. It’s also to your benefit to have an organized space that can harbor your excess of books in a neat, stylish way. – Mackenzie Greer, Mack and the Zodiac Astrology

Gemini – fun, playful, trendy, patterns – they value variety and versatility. They would love to have differentiated spaces in their houses – like all the rooms will tie together but have their own look and feel. They may want to change the furniture around often. – Alex Caiola, High Priestess of Brooklyn

Cancer: Water Sign (June 21 – July 22)

Cancers need to feel cozy and nurtured…and nurture their loved ones. For you, make sure your kitchen and dining areas have personalized touches and warmth to them: pictures of your family on the walls, family recipes framed, your grandmother’s copper pots on display, etc. Think of creative ways to display family heirlooms, like display cases or cabinets. – Kristina Semos, Astrologer and owner of AstroOils®

Cancer is nurturing and homey. If you’re Cancer or want your home to reflect this energy, the accent is on the kitchen. Do you have enough space to store all of your existing or upcoming cookware? We know you want that air fryer and it takes space. Plan an extra cabinet room and even, indulge in a oh-so-desired kitchen island. – Julia Topaz, LUTS Astrology

Leo: Fire Sign (July 23 – August 22)

Make it majestic maximalism. Magnificent and unabashed, Leo rolls out the red carpet. Your Lion’s den is maximalist, glamorous and outfitted to accommodate your entourage. Activate your imagination with tropical brights, statement gold, highly personal and decorative interiors, playful opulence and a vibrant yet cohesive aesthetic. – Sandy Sitron

Think transitional. Leo, a fiery zodiac sign that is bold and elegant, likes to have options. This is why a transitional home aesthetic will sing to their hearts, as it blends both traditional and modern design. Their stylish and inviting interiors may even blend steel, glass, or plush furniture. – Kyle Thomas Astrology, @mrkylethomas

A home that is chic, classy, and modern is the best match for you. You want a space that looks good already, where you can add a few touches of your favorite artistic decor, and you are ready to go. It is best to keep it simple, as a home with too many responsibilities will distract you from paying attention to and giving time to the most important thing, which is you. – Ask Astrology 

Virgo: Earth Sign (August 23 – September 22)

When designing your home Virgo, decorate with the Marie Condo mantra, “Does it bring you joy?” Keeping things simple, sweet and organized are the way to go. Opt for built in organizational shelves in your closets, or perhaps hideaway furniture, the less is more vibe is the way to go for Virgo, if it doesn’t bring you joy then it shouldn’t be on display. – Helene Cierzo, Heart House Astrology 

Virgo people function at their best when their living space is clean, organized, and minimalistic. You tend to live in a busy mental world, so it’s critical that your space helps you declutter your mind and ground you back down. Gentle earth tones, a connection to outdoor space for planting or gardening, or having a zen place to perform your daily rituals will do wonders. – Mackenzie Greer, Mack and the Zodiac Astrology

Virgo – tailored, neutrals, eye for details – they value precision and movement. Think bigger open spaces, lofted ceilings, and keep an eye on key details. They may want to display something they’ve mastered, like the guitar, on the walls. – Alex Caiola, High Priestess of Brooklyn

Libra: Air Sign (September 23 – October 22)

Libras are romantics who love beauty and art in all their forms. Celebrate this by mixing up the textures and materials in your home: can you add soft touches, like feathers, velvet, or faux-fur, and romantic color palettes with lavenders, blushes, and creams? As a partner-focused sign, make sure to frame those weddings photos and put them on display in multiple rooms of your house. – Kristina Semos Astrologer and owner of AstroOils®

Libra is harmonious and stylish. If anyone dreams of the perfect home, it is Libra. If you’re Libra or want your home to reflect this energy, you probably do not need any tips to decorate your home. But in the event you do, make sure your home reflects harmony. Light must be bright, furniture must be evenly spaced, sized, and even colours. Tones must be gentle, neutral, leaning toward white with some touches of gold or pastel. Mirrors will brighten and enlarge the space and allow you to catch your gorgeous reflection throughout the day. – Julia Topaz, LUTS Astrology

Scorpio: Water Sign (October 23 – November 21)

Make it Minimal. Minimalist design is streamlined, intense, and powerful – much like the zodiac sign of Scorpio. Both are bold and always make a statement. Expect a Scorpio living in this aesthetic to be even more hypnotic. – Kyle Thomas Astrology, @mrkylethomas

Privacy is important to you, and you do not like dealing with neighbors and members of the public too much. A home that is isolated and secluded is ideal for you. If not, a house that is walled off and does not allow the public world to have too much access to you might be perfect. A home that is fairly isolated with a beautiful view overlooking a natural setting or water is ideal. – Ask Astrology 

Look for dark wood or leather furniture. Put dimmers on your light switches so you can adjust the lighting for the occasion. Let your bedroom be a place that inspires passion, intimacy and beauty. – Liv Woodford, Astrologer, LIV BY DESIGN Astrology

Sagittarius: Fire Sign (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarians often want to explore the world in such a big way that they’re rarely the homebody type. When you do choose a place to make your home base, it’s critical that it feels supportive of your freedom to come and go as you please. Open-concept plans support your craving for space, while light color tones and an abundance of candles keep the atmosphere light and energized. – Mackenzie Greer, Mack and the Zodiac Astrology

Sagittarius- adventurous, experiential, carefree- they value cultured curation. They would love to decorate eclectically with relics from their travels. – Alex Caiola, High Priestess of Brooklyn

Let decorating be an adventure. You can have great finds at estate sales, antique stores or the store off the beaten track. You may look for furniture, artwork and religious items that come from cultures around the globe. With the idea of spending time outdoors, invest in making your porch or backyard oasis a place you and others will hang out. – Liv Woodford, Astrologer, LIV BY DESIGN Astrology

Capricorn: Earth Sign (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorns love tradition and radiate success, and this extends to their home decor. Consider sophisticated antiques that stand the test of time—and show your clout. Dark woods, sturdy clean lines, and masculine touches, like a whiskey bar in the corner of your office, will make you feel on top of the world. – Kristina Semos, Astrologer and owner of AstroOils®

Capricorn is all about status, achievements, and standing. If you’re Capricorn or want your home to represent this energy, decorate with few but spectacular items. A luxurious chandelier to illuminate the room, one imposing sculpture, or perhaps a touch of marble to reflect your luxurious but classic taste. Don’t forget to display any award, certification, or prize you received. – Julia Topaz, LUTS Astrology

Aquarius: Air Sign (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarians are eclectic and have taste that leans towards futuristic, but in a way that almost seems retro. So they love that mid century modern style of furniture and favor such designs by Eames or Saarinen. They love to accessorize with lighting that seems celestial or resembles space flight. – Deb McBride, The Golden Astrologer

Go industrial. Inspired by the urban loft, the industrial aesthetic unites beauty with exposed brick, wood, and ductwork. Aquarius, as a mental Air Sign, will enjoy the abstract possibilities that this home will provide them – practically limitless. – Kyle Thomas Astrology, @mrkylethomas

A home that is kitted out with all the latest gadgets and technology is the ideal fit for you. A high-tech kitchen, bathroom, and living space that has all the conveniences technology have to offer will keep you smiling. Your house needs to be filled with items and smart devices that are functional and not filled with eye-catching, functionless decor. – Ask Astrology 

Pisces: Water Sign (February 19 – March 20)

As a Pisces, you tend to be instinctively dialed into everything and everyone. Thus, it’s important that your living space is a solitary, restful refuge that allows you ample alone time and peace to reset your system. You above all else need an ideal bedroom set up, as rest and dreaming are top priorities. You benefit from bringing spiritual elements, water features, and surround sound music systems in your home. – Mackenzie Greer, Mack and the Zodiac Astrology

Pisces – dreamy, flowy, poetic, “mermaidy”- They value effervescence and romance. They will play with flouncier fabrics, like window treatments, and put a focus on the effusive lighting. – Alex Caiola, High Priestess of Brooklyn
