Astrology is reflected in our personalities and also in the way we style and prefer our homes. When looking at your zodiac sign and the symbols, colors, and aesthetics associated with it, you can discover ways to enhance your home and have it reflect your tastes and style. Home decor is such a personal perspective in one's life and can create the overall mood for your day and how you move through the world.
Having a home that makes you feel like yourself and reflects to others what you want them to see in you is sentimental, and by studying the stars, you can develop your personal style in the home.
When it comes to your overall taste and vibe in the home, there are a few different areas you can look at in Astrology. Your sun sign, first and foremost, encapsulates you in your entirety and what makes you feel most like yourself. We all know Cancers and Taurus love their home, and they tend to have and create spaces that make people feel comfortable, safe, and taken care of. Their home decor style borders simplicity with comfort, and they know how to create an inviting ambiance.
Your Venus sign also has a way of pointing you in the direction of what aesthetics resonate with your heart, and you’ll want to learn more about the sign your Venus is in and different ways you can express this side of you in the home.
Your Home Decor Aesthetic, According to Your Zodiac Sign
Finally, your 4th house in Astrology, which rules your home, foundations, inner world, and family, is the perfect place to look at and discover how you can reflect more of your personal energy in the home. Having a planet like Jupiter in the 4th house can represent having a large home and a grand taste for extravagant decor.
Having Venus or Libra here could reflect a more feminine and soft touch in the home, and being inspired to create a space that makes people feel at ease and loved.
With Scorpio in the 4th house, people are private with their homes. When you enter, you get a sense of mysticism and depth with unique art surrounding, that gets you sucked in and intrigued by their world. Dive into where the stars align for you, and get inspired by what you can create in the home.
Read below for your home decor inspo for your sun sign. You can also look at the sign of your 4th house or your Venus sign for more inspiration here.
ARIES: Prints & Patterns

Aries express themselves freely in the home and have a more unique taste than most. They are inspired by colors, design, authentic pieces, and having an exciting energy in the home. Aries has the perfect balance of being a minimalist and also a person with an eclectic taste when it comes to their home decor style.
Prints mixed with simple pieces bring an elegant twist to their fiery personality, and it’s all about self-expression for Aries. Playing with different patterns and styles and having one-of-a-kind pieces works well for them and showcases their personality.
TAURUS: Romance & Luxury

Not many people can do home decor like a Taurus. The home is essential to this earthly soul, and they tend to have good taste. The Taurus home is filled with candles, lush rugs, deep colors, and an ambiance of romance and safety. Taurus makes the best plant parents, and a space filled with greenery makes them feel at home.
Earthy tones, gem tones, greens, and pieces that have a sense of comfort and luxury are perfect for the Taurus soul. They want to feel beautiful and comfortable in their home, and they want others to feel the same way as well. They are the type of zodiac sign to invest in good, high-quality, pieces.
GEMINI: Modern & Minimal
Gemini’s home incorporates their creative personality and style, but it also represents a more minimalist and intentional side to them. Most Geminis prefer a modern, minimal, and airy home. They don’t like clutter, and they want a space that can help ease their mind.
Different textures, open windows, and a neutral color tone are perfect for the Gemini home. They will have a few pieces of color and charm, but overall, they thrive in spaces that are a blank slate for them to roam, be, and create.
CANCER: Comfort & Connection

Cancer thrives when there is flow in the home. Unique pieces that are inviting and express comfort, connection, and love are what they are inspired by. Everything has a place when it comes to Cancer’s home and belongings, and they often keep their pieces forever. They see their home itself as an investment, and everything within it has a purpose and special meaning.
Furniture pieces that provide comfort but that also make you want to connect, talk, and enjoy the comforts of the home align with this water sign. Creams, tans, light blues, rounded or uniquely shaped pieces, and an atmosphere that provides calmness are the perfect home decor style for Cancer.
LEO: Maximalism & Mirrors

Leo loves a space that reflects their sunny personality and, of course, a home with lots of mirrors. They need their home to be a place in their life where they can feel safe and loved, but also feel a sense of happiness and joy as well. They are not so particular about comforts like an earth sign, and they will choose style over comfort any day.
The Leo is a maximalist at heart and needs a large closet, prints, and colors. They aren’t so concerned with trends as they are with what appeals to their eye, and they want a space where they can entertain and enjoy their life with their loved ones.
VIRGO: Neutral & Pops of Color

Virgos are the rulers of all things health, and they want a space that reflects good well-being, simplicity, and a healthy lifestyle, but also a home that looks lived in and has charm. They aren’t minimalist, but they aren’t maximalist either, and they tiptoe between the two with their home decor style.
Neutral tones thrive in Virgo's energy, but they also like a pop of color in the home as well and will have a space that showcases their mutable character. Flowers, rugs, plants, simple home decor pieces, crystals, and neutral backgrounds provide the perfect ambiance for Virgo.
LIBRA: Beauty & Venusian Energy

Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, and they take good care of their home. This is an area of their life where they exemplify a lot of beauty and comfort, and they want to experience love in the home and for other people to feel this energy when they enter. Libras typically have a more minimalistic style, and they know how to say a lot with very little.
A lush white rug, with a cream or pop of color couch, and a functionality of the home that makes people want to connect is perfect for Libra. They will have photos and sentimental pieces of loved ones around the home, and their home decor style reflects their Venusian energy.
SCORPIO: Emotional Depth & Deep Tones

Scorpio loves a moody atmosphere in the home. Blacked-out curtains are a must, and a sense of privacy and emotional depth in the home are, too. You will see a lot of dark colors, browns, burgundies, deep blues, and blacks in the home of a Scorpio, and they are intentional about every piece they have in their space.
They tend to be more minimal, but they do love to adorn their walls with pieces that reflect their heart and make them and others feel something as well. Scorpio’s home tends to look like a vampire's den, and they want their space to feel intimate, mysterious, and intriguing.
SAGITTARIUS: Free-Spirit & Feng Shui

The Sagittarius home reflects their free-spirit personality. Sagittarius is one of the signs that is not home too often, so when they are they want things to be easy to find, easy to move around, and a little bit more quiet than all of the energy of the outside world.
They don’t have too much in the home because they prefer to keep things light and accessible, but they wouldn’t necessarily be defined as minimalist either. The Sagittarius has a bold personality that needs a room that’s going to match, colors that will enhance their mood, and a spiritual taste of Feng shui that reflects their inner wisdom.
CAPRICORN: Natural & Traditional

Capricorns take their time with their home. They wait till they can acquire the best of the best for themselves and spoil themselves with things that bring them a sense of comfort and groundedness. They want their home to feel organized and comfortable and reflect their hard work and what they have accumulated for themselves.
As with all earth signs, plants are a must, and they enjoy a lot of earthy pieces, woods, and different natural materials as well. There is something traditional about the home of the Capricorn, and they provide a lot of history and value here.
AQUARIUS: Unique & Eclectic
Marais Sectional
The home of the Aquarius is inspired by their other-worldly, cultural, and magnetic personality and interests. Aquarius has a space that is unique and eclectic, and that represents everything that inspires them. They have a lot of pieces that some may not think to put together right away, but the way Aquarius does it makes it look like a masterpiece.
The Aquarius is the trendsetter, and they often do things ahead of their time. They love color, pattern, different aesthetics, and a lot of eclectic pieces on the walls and surrounding them. They need a space that can fuel their wondrous soul and that feels inviting and conversational to friends and family as well.
PISCES: Comfort & Luxury
Carson Bench
Pisces love their home, especially their bedroom, and the comforts of it. Pisces puts comfort over all else when it comes to their home decor style, and they have a home that makes others feel calm and at ease. Pisces' most important home decor piece is their bed, and they prefer the best bedding, the most luxurious bedroom furniture, and lots of pillows and items of comfort.
They have a good balance when it comes to colors and neutrals, and they overall just want to feel like they can wind down in peace when they are at home, and it’s more about how things feel rather than how they look for Pisces in the home. Their style is dreamy, sentimental, and comfortable, with a little bit of magic.

Tia Mowry Is "Doing Everything But Worrying" About Being Single Right Now — And TBH, Same.
Tia Mowry is in her self-empowered, healing era and letting the world know that being single in her 40s isn't something to be feared: It's something to be celebrated.
In a recent Instagram Reel, the 46-year-old The Game alum shared a montage of her life post-divorce: parenting her two children, Cree and Cairo, pouring into her haircare brand, getting glam for events, spending time with her village, and simply enjoying her own company. Her text overlay of choice? “Doing everything but worrying about being single in my 40s.”
And our good sis didn't stop there. Alongside the Reel, she included a refreshingly honest caption:
"There’s this stigma that we shouldn’t be single in our 40s, like thriving on your own isn’t an option. At one point, I thought the idea of being ‘alone’ was scary… but now that I’m here? I’m not scared anymore.
After a 22-year relationship and a divorce that was finalized in April 2023 from actor Cory Hardrict, Tia has been navigating a new normal. And while she’s not afraid to admit that loneliness happens, she’s also redefining what fulfillment looks like on her own terms. In her words:
"I’d be lying if I said I’ve never felt lonely, but it happens. Because I love LOVE! But that’s not the only thing we should measure our happiness on, or the only thing that defines us. And we definitely shouldn’t stress over whatever timeline has been forced on us."
Her reflections echo a deeper part of her healing journey she has been super transparent and forthcoming about the ebbs and flows of. As she shared in an episode of her WE TV reality series that aired last year, Tia Mowry: My Next Act:
"So it’s been about a year and a half since I got a divorce, and I am slowly learning who I am. I came into this world with a twin… and right after that, I went into a 22-year relationship, so I have never been alone in my life.
In the same episode, she also got candid about the emotions that come with co-parenting, even when done healthily. After dropping off her 6-year-old daughter Cairo at Cory’s house, Tia got emotional during her confessional interview, saying tearfully:
"I feel like one of the hardest things that I’ve had to adapt to, is dropping my kids off at their dad’s house. I’ve always wanted the family dynamic of having a mom and a dad in one household. And when you’re dropping your kids off, you actually, visually see how that is no longer."
But what her latest post so beautifully reminds us is that healing doesn’t have to look like rushing to fill a void, it can look like learning to sit with yourself, like yourself, and accept yourself. After years of defining parts of herself through her closest relationships, first as a twin, and then later as a wife, Tia is finally learning what it means to be her own anchor.
She’s nurturing herself, pouring back into her own cup, discovering what lies on the other side of fear, and sharing the wisdom with others that comes along with that inner work. Speaking of which, Tia had one more bar to deliver before closing out her post as she concluded her caption, "So whether you find yourself single in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s… just know, we’re all going to be OK."
Poetry snaps, chile.
