Please keep in mind that in order to use Astrology in a meaningful way the whole horoscope has to be taken into consideration.
Aries: Is the most dynamic and action oriented sign of the zodiac. Nothing should stand in the way of these powerhouse people and limit their physical mobility. So a minimal approach in terms of furnishings might work best. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars which corresponds to the Greek god of war. Their color is blood red.
Taurus: Ruled by Planet Venus, symbol of love and beauty. These people like comfort and safety. They do enjoy beautiful objects and art. They are very sensual, thus how things feel to the touch is most critical for them. They often are gourmets, so they might enjoy a large pantry or a wine refrigerator. Pink tones, soft pastel colors and earth tones work well for them.
Gemini: Communication and acquiring information is most important for Geminis. They need to stay connected all the time, so their homes might need to accommodate extra TV’s, computers, phones and charging station for gadgets. Since they can get bored easily and need constant change and variety, movable, flexible and multifunctional furniture might suit them. Paler shades of yellow work well for them, but a multicolored scheme would work best.
Cancer: Is the homebody of the zodiac. They are romantic and nostalgic and thus like to collect and are often occupied with the past somehow. They need a home where everybody feels welcome and which has space for their ever expanding collections. A large kitchen might be to their liking as they often enjoy cooking for friends and family. Ruled by the moon their colors are white, silver and grays.
Leo: These people like luxury and are not afraid to show off. A generous, warm and inviting space with a touch of opulence would work well for them. They have the desire to impress and love to be admired so their interiors must be grand, nothing mediocre will do. They might like mirrors. Ruled by the sun their colors are gold, yellow and orange. Their design motto: More is more!

Their spaces should have clean lines and allow them to be very organized. And please, let’s be economical! Navy blue and beige are their main colors.
Libra: Libras, ruled by Venus like Taureans, are the most concerned of all signs with harmony, beauty and balance. Aesthetic considerations will win over pure functionality and practicality. They will enjoy elegant, artistic and well-proportioned interiors. Soft pink, light blue and pale green are their colors.
Scorpio: Intensity is a key word for Scorpios, they like things to be a little mysterious and are not afraid of the dark. An exotic touch works well for them. They tend to be very private and enjoy secrets so the idea of a “hideout” place might be appealing to them. Ruled by planet Pluto symbolizing the God of the underworld they might not mind a basement apartment with an obscure entrance. Their colors are deep red, maroon, black and white.
Sagittarius: These people need to widen their horizons for all their lives so they can become the wise people they are meant to be. A home that can grow with them would suit them best. Thus the country side might work better for them as they can expand more easily. Purple, representing wisdom, is their main color.

approach with a Zen touch might suit them best. They might appreciate a well-structured home office. Darker earth tones are their colors: olive green, brown, grays and black.
Aquarius: The urbanite of the zodiac, Aquarians like light, airy spaces. High-rise buildings with floor to ceiling windows and lofts work great for them; they simply like to be close to the skies. Original, progressive and inventive, they usually like technology, so anything old- fashioned wouldn’t work for them. Bring in the latest technology - be it in the kitchen, bathroom or the media room - and they will appreciate it. Their color is eclectic blue.
Pieces: Highly sensitive and intuitive, they need a home which inspires their vivid imagination. It should have an “out of this world” feel as the realm of reality feels foreign to them and they have the need to escape from it once in a while. An open floor plan might work best for them as they dislike separation. Water makes them feel better, so maybe an extra-large bathtub or a window with water views might work well. Green-blues are their colors.
