There’s a sense of magic that happens when you walk into a room and feel as if you belong. It’s what we all strive for in our own spaces, but it can be surprisingly difficult to get just right. Just picking a perfect paint color can be a tricky process of trial and error. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to fast track this process and hone in not only on the part of the color wheel that will speak to you, but also on the type of decor that will best align with your innermost design sensibilities. According to astrologers, looking to the stars can give us clues to our preferred hues, finishes, and furnishings.

“Your sun sign represents all the traits and quirks that distinguish you from others. Many of us naturally express the qualities of our sun sign in our fashion, though too often we neglect expressing ourselves through our choices in home decor,” astrologer Rebecca Gordon explains. “When your environment reflects your true cosmic nature, you become more relaxed and can then operate like a boss in your castle, as you should be.”

Here, top astrologers weigh in on your next redesign.

Aries: reds, hot pinks, oranges, goldsBecause Aries is ruled by the planet of Mars, Gordon explains you need a home that immediately evokes power, confidence, and action, the same qualities that are among your strongest. “Because you are fiery and active, you love to express yourself with bold interior designs and an equally bold, primary color palette,” she says.

Astrologer Ophira Edut from AstroTwins adds that your naturally competitive, driven mentality may come into play in your home, too. You’ll want to make your home feel alive and vibrant, so whenever your neighbors or friends stop by for Saturday afternoon cocktails, they’ll feel the intensity from the moment they walk in—hence the in-your-face hues.

Because you’re the zodiac’s first sign, Edut explains you will likely want to switch up your home’s decor as seasonal trends emerge, since you’re always first to the finish line or the party. The only issue is that constant remodeling can be cumbersome, never allowing you to settle into your home. To remedy your thirst for new, she suggests creating a play space or workshop that could serve as a single area that’s smaller to transform, like a pantry, a mudroom, or an outdoor garden. She also adds that a statement-making piece of art will help tie your aesthetic together.

Taurus: browns, creams, earthy tones, bluesWhile Taurus is an earth sign, Gordon says those born under the sign of the bull have a design preference that teeters one of two ways: either an admiration of the feminine pastel shades of blue and pink, or an affinity toward rich, deep colors like browns, greens, or blues. If you fall in between these two extremes? “When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a color palette predominant in creams or off-whites, as you also have an affinity for floral patterns with coordinating, subtle hints of color on accent pieces such as pillows, rugs, and throws,” Gordon says.
When you’re shopping for your home, you’ll find yourself more attracted to higher-end furniture and goods, but only if they’re practical. As Edut notes, “You love to flaunt your sophisticated style and should invest in high-quality items that go the distance, from hand-carved wooden furniture to 600-thread-count sheets.” Because you feel a constant tie to the planet, she also says investing in heavy, well-made, square-ish pieces that are low to the ground will give you the sense of rootedness you crave.

Gemini: chartreuse, orange, lime green, viridian green, and canary yellowMoody and curious to your core, Gordon explains Geminis are attracted toward unique mental energy and vibrancy. These colors help tie together the palettes behind mod furniture and ’60s-inspired graphic prints, creating what Gordon calls a “lively, flirtatious, and youthful feel, especially when you mix up the prints, which you do so well.”

Challenge yourself to combine old with new, modern with vintage, when you piece together your living space. Consider using these contrasting tastes to your advantage, making your guests raise an eyebrow when they walk into your apartment. “Versatility and variety are the keys for your social sign. Aim for lightweight, modern furniture that can be moved into different configurations for conversation or a TV binge marathon or pushed to the walls for an impromptu dance party,” Edut suggests. The constant, connecting thread in your ever-changing mood is the atmosphere, which you prefer to keep airy and light. For this, Edut says to consider subway tiles, transparent Lucite chairs, and brushed metal fixtures—all of which draw attention at your next dinner party.

Cancer: whites, silver, Wedgewood blue, lavender, vintage pastelsWhile you may venture out daily into the world, you find your true peace at home. As a natural nurturer who seeks balance in their living area, Gordon says focusing on colors that settle and calm your spirit is key. She says shying away from bold, harsh, or contrasting colors or patterns will ensure your haven isn’t interrupted.

As a sensitive water sign, the central theme for your oasis is cozy, and at the forefront of every room, Gordon recommends letting candles illuminate your way, creating a soothing experience much like a bath. In addition to distressed woods, furry rugs, silver accents, and shades of white, Gordon suggests placing “moon flowers and other white flowers in a bouquet to greet you when you enter. Cancer is a family-oriented sign and is so much happier when there is a warm welcome into the house.”

Leo: gold, yellow, rust, turquoise, Bordeaux, and goldAt the center of the solar system is the sun, shining brightly on the planets below and casting a warm hue over your home, because Leo is ruled by this brilliant star. Gordon says Leos are happiest when their space is sun-drenched and playful. You appreciate being in the limelight, so having your home mimic a stage, complete with dynamic art pieces like masks or wall hangings, will help you express your personality, Gordon notes.

Edut describes the home of a Leo as a “well-appointed castle filled with art [and] treasures, and your own impressive personal stamp lets the world know whose lair this is.” Much like a lion and his den, Edut says some of your pride is found in your home, so having an abode that can entertain is essential. As for the price tags? You’ll tend to lean toward luxury, so follow your eye. “Don’t shy away from adding a little bling—not that we need to tell you that!” Edut says.

Virgo: taupe, ochre, clean-linen white, navyWhen you’re at home, Virgo, you want to feel like you’re at home. Unlike some signs who focus on bringing the chatter and conversation to their addresses, Edut notes Virgos need their habitat to remain peaceful. Gordon says the modest, classic white, or cream color tones are easily adapted in nearly every room, especially with a pop of subtle color. “Neutral greens and grays Virgos find most interesting and will always enjoy the crisp quality of a stark white wall or window dressing. They play between harvest neutrals and the Virgo iconic white,” she explains.

Grounded to the earth and strengthened by a foundation, Edut recommends creating an area where you can read, write, and work out any stresses. Since you’re ruled by Mercury, that me time helps you unwind and prepare for social settings. Because you’re confident in your own ability to accomplish tasks, Edut says DIY projects might be of interest to you, so consider picking natural fibers and organic materials to create something unique. Her only challenge is to unleash your shy, seductive side by reaching for filmy fabrics, dripping chandeliers, and boudoir touches for dimension.
