Ask Mystic – Astrology Signs Home Decor

Are Astrology signs and home decor aesthetic ideals linked? Utterly. Soon: An Astro-Home Instant Astrology Report. Now: My House Witchery Mp3 and this cool question.

Dear Mystic, 

We all know the best times of the moon to clean our house and get rid of the clutter, but do you have any advice regarding home decorating according to your moon sign (or other aspects of one’s chart)? I also wonder if you might run into difficulties if your Rising and Moon sign clash when it comes to decor – as a Scorpio rising (say), new lovers might expect you to have a plush velvet den, when in fact your Gemini moon is all about bright colours and unserious flourishes. Thoughts? 

Sincerely,
Curious Moon

I love this question and one of my multiple projects bubbling away in the ‘lab’ is an Astro Home Instant Report. So, for my general Astrology signs, zodiac home aesthetic thoughts, see this post in Apartment Therapy.

Sun sign astro is fun to think about in terms of homes. I automatically think of the Leo with luxe-taste, Virgo Vision precision, and the Saggo travel or gym bag perma packed and ready for flight.

But your point is so apt – what of the Aries with Moon in Cancer? Is their living room a red-centric homage to primal Yang and high-amp speakers but their bed-womb a lavender-scented sleep shrine?

Would a Pisces with Libra Moon end relationships with anyone who disrupted their spiritual symmetry or interfered with their Feng Shui frequency?

Actually, it is – as you say – to do with the Moon. When you walk into someone’s house, you are in their Moon. But the Moon is usually subliminal. It’s the decor (or food!) you default to.

But the sign on the I.C. is the most important and that’s what the forthcoming Astro-Home will focus on. That’s the sign determining the tone of chez You. And the extent to which you connect with that sign’s ethos reveals whether your abode is a haven or more crash-pad.

And then you add in the Sun, Moon, planets or asteroids occupying that 4th House sector.

Thoughts?
