Are Astrology signs and home decor aesthetic ideals linked? Utterly.
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. 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?
I love this and hope this report is coming soon.
My partner, Cancerian Taurus rising, Leo moon is so MINIMALISTIC and it drives me crazy. I want a home with knick knacks/beauty and also FUNCTION but ifs superfluous to him he wants to get rid of it immediately. Haha, my Virgo moon wants so many plants. my aries rising forgets to water them. Libra is asleep on the plush couch sans velvet (sigh) as partner doesn’t like the texture.
WHY ME
Libra Rising, Cap on the 4th with the ruler Saturn in Cap in the 3rd. Love the feeling of seeming homey but professional. Love books, magazines and general talking points throughout the house. Love old art clean sheets. Considering a home office in my spare bedroom.
What is I.C to be totally behind this one
Me virgo moon
Him leo moon
Me. Plants and check lists
Him. Wants structure but cant handle ugly parts around the house in to do piles.
We just built a house/extension so I have a good idea of what my partner’s and I default style is as a couple now, as well as individually. My Gemini partner has a Cancerian Moon and Taurus on the IC. I have a Leo Sun, Scorpio Moon and Virgo on the IC (by a degree). Basically it is Japanese inspired but despite the small footprint, high ceilings, concrete floors and huge wood sliders. I am not a minimalist, but you would be mistaken for thinking so given we have more storage now! We are practical and did keep the rule… Read more »
Love this! I’m a Sag IC/Moon so my lair definitely gives off a bit of an exotic traveler vibe, but my Virgo Rising keeps it from going overboard and I tend to select pieces very carefully so they *perfectly* fit the vibe and don’t clutter the place up. I like neutral tones with a heavy mix of exotic patterns and exciting pops of color. It’s a bit of a minimalist’s maximalist vibe. Throw in my Sun in Cancer and I’m huge on having lots of comfy blankets/pillows/etc. and making sure the house has a ‘homey’ feel (I hate hate hate… Read more »
Holy sucks
I just read that Apartment Therapy post. The sign on the IC is uncannily accurate. I can’t spell it but my homey identity is 100% fishy. Mia Culpepeper.
lolz that was meant to read – holy shucks
nevermind
My partner and I both have taurus at the IC, and young son is a taurus mars (he has pisces at the IC). We have a lot of places to sit, a lot of blankets, pillows, bedding and towels, a lot of plants, and a fully stocked kitchen. We spend most of our time on the sectional around the fireplace and all take naps there. We prefer holing up with good tv and food to entertaining (I have a scorpio moon, partner has a scorpio mercury, son is scorpio rising – we’re all relieved when plans get canceled and are… Read more »
People cancelling plans is my BEST.
I’m more than fine with people being late also.
But when they cancel I do a happy dance.
My Toro sun son is IC Pisces 4th… we too have sticks, rocks, leaves, bones and stones all about in clumpy altars. So much hoarding of his (other worldly and quite incredible colour choice) paintings done throughout his pre & schooling years. He will sit and reflect, pulling out and reviewing his ‘works’ often… He is 8. Curious pisces IC child!
Aww, mine is 8 as well and he also has great color selection, neptune has also been transiting his IC (same with your son I imagine) and when we moved he requested that his new bedroom and playroom be painted blue, all blue everything, different shades of blue.
Synchronicity. Just rejoined #1 because Margaret Atwood documentary on SBS AND to find where ‘House Witchery’ was in my downloads and LO and BEHOLD voici!
Missed you too much the last few weeks not to be a member. My bank manager is a woman so are all the tellers and just keep my credit card going with no pressure.
Margaret Atwood Rules.
So does Myst
You too Invicta
Back to listening to Margaret, whatta champion.
So are we.
I watched Margaret Attwood too.
She is a Scorpio Sun, Aquarius Moon and a twinkling Gemini Rising.
Love you Pegs!
Vilcommen turug- you were missed.
MA is the shizzle. She gives me hope.
Great to have you here, Pegs 😊🌈 I was thinking you were quiet…
oh yes, hadn’t thought of this but it makes so much sense my sag moon utterly dominates the “decor” which is basically artist in residence/work in progress/ nutty professor who recoils at the thought of any interruption, let alone visitors. 12th house moon, I go to visit them at their gorgeous houses. My virgo stellium will never peacefully coexist with the saggo stellium and Marthashames me if people come over. Even when I had a fancy place with a cleaner coming four days a week (single and not a parent with no pets ..so ..just messy! but even then I… Read more »
My dream home is / are the two that I sold when I married an Englishman for twenty minutes and transferred all my money into his account because there was no prenup and he was rich and old and the family were being weird. I was like “srugs” – whats mine is yours- you’re my husband and I’m only going to do this once, I want to do it right. That didn’t last andafter paying off the divorce lawyer I was 45 tho in debt- no way did I want to profit from a marriage. It felt wrong. I don’t… Read more »
Pluto square my ascendance is coming across as more relevant and influencial than I’d realised. Hmmm as is North node in Cap 2nd house…
Oh lolz – Vesta is in my fourth too so the scorched earth and creative destruction / positive disintergration thing makes sence. Genius post MM
I reckon I could enjoy a beach house myself!
Your matching cars might be more Virgo than Saggo moon or even Libra balance?
You just made me think shudders can just be physical energy clearing like shaking it off.
mais bien suuuur Centaur 🙂 The two identical cars was 100% vierge + a shit tonne of venus in Leo in the 8th The beach houses were identical too, except the one I lived in was higher up than the one I rented out, so I could lie in the bath and watch the sunset over the ocean. No you’re crying! Meh Whilst not exactly ill gotten gains, trust me, I worked for that money, dating bloated stockbrokers was in no way sustainable or authentic. Who knows what audatious and genius concepts will present themselves now I am spartan and… Read more »
We can dump old identities like clothing in a donation bin – if/when we’re ready – but we do get to keep the skills and tools we acquired. What is an illusion of loss may actually be a significant gain eh 🙂
I’m hoping that’s the case. As you well know Saturn is a bit of a daddy and his transit through my first has illuminated all that is lacking in me. Identity politics most most foul. But it is such an opportunity isn’t it? Jupiter rising and Pluto square my acendant have bestowed me with what currently appears to be an utterly unbounded and unfounded confidence in my ability to regenerate. Regeneration compulsion!
Pluto in my second is a transit I know better than to fight, or do I?
I put up a good sulk tho
Jupiter rising is perfect for that.
Once again I can say Jupiter in my Sun sign has not been spectacular but he does tend to fire up in Cap so NOW I’m slightly optimistic. Go figure?
Regeneration compulsion?
The evolution of soul and perhaps beyond the control of the mortal part of our being.
Saturn sounds like he’s done his job well through the first and is now doing the second house rebuild with some help from a new foreman on the scene aka Jupes.
Lols – put up a good sulk….yeah that sounds vaguely familiar to me 😄
This has taken me an age to work out, Mystic. Please, please go gently with some of us at the beginning of our Astro journey lol! I started with googling IC… *deep breath but wanted to persevere because I have just moved gaffs. Here goes, Scorpio and neptune, in house 4, with a mercury trine and venus opposite neptune. I moved to be closer to the land, closer to spirit and express my creativity much much more, ( I get to build a studio here) but also, its super dark and semi-off grid. I can channel and focus my magic… Read more »
WOW sounds amazing!
Leo IC, but at the very end of Leo, so my fourth house, plus my Moon, is in Virgo. I’m definitely more Virgo-ish at home – books, plants, floral prints, blond wood floors, small pets slumping, and a minimalist vibe with a green and cream color scheme accentuated by Impressionist paintings from Monet, Renoir, and van Gogh. I declutter a lot, clean a lot (with lemon or lavender scented all-natural cleaners), keep lists of house projects both big and small, and I know exactly where everything is. The only Leo thing I do at home is watch a ton of… Read more »
Very interesting… my pisces sun craves a sanctuary, my capricorn asc. needs organisation… I’m actually living out of a suitcase at my mum’s place… I guess my sagg moon won
What can be more spartan than living out of a suitcase? Only the essentials!
Aqua 4th- From MM’s cited article- Aquarius does not so much march to the beat of a different drummer as it does to an instrument not yet available on Earth”. Brilliant as ever!! Xx
As a professional organizer I work in people’s homes and am always fascinated in a human level and curious on an astrology level, so I am loving this post. I eagerly await an Astro home report!!! I have Capricorn on the IC and Mars in Aquarius in the 4th house; I have been doing Pluto in Capricorn transforming thru decluttering. And now with saturn it’s been all about fortifying that work and literal/metaphysical boundaries. It’s the inspiration of my work (I have moon in Cancer conj my Mc).
Oh wow, yes, your work sounds perfect for you with moon in cancer conj your MC and to me and it sounds as if your Mars in Aquarius in the 4th sounds would be really supportive of that too, giving you an innovative edge. It must be fascinating seeing inside so many homes!
That is very cool! I love that you have such an orderly Saturn IC and you are a professional ORGANISER! This is so perfect..
Neptune conj IC in Scorp, trine my Merc in Pisces, opp Jupiter and square my Aqua Venus. Cap moon. My home is my sanctuary, I let only very trusted people in. There are three security gates between me and the world. Everything about my home is an expression of me, I work hard to make it so. My early years were textbook Neptune-IC, indeed all my siblings have ‘home’ issues of one kind or another. I have to live in an ordered and simple way or else it affects my mental health. A huge sticking point with the Toro was… Read more »
I agree Cap moon is not an open door free for all policy.
Lol, so true! Do any other Cap moons have a bit of a thing for more classic, older pieces – solid wooden pieces/antiques rather than flimsier or more “modern” mass-produced things? I’ve never gotten quite as into IKEA as others in my gen and always had an uncanny preference for wood and older items since I was tiny. I know it sounds ultra-petty, and feel free to say get a life 😊 but just being in a room with a “fake” wooden item, like a plywood bookcase, has always seriously irked me for some reason. And don’t get me started… Read more »
It could be the Scorp IC but it could also be Cap Moon as it appreciates quality and I s’pose you could probably say wants something it can feel at home and authentic around that in Cap 6th that might also be the results of hard work and/or taking care of oneself by creating the perfect space. I have a ‘thing’ for quality and for good woods but with Cap 8th it’s a combo of the actual quality and type of wood and the way it feels energetically. I am coming around to some ‘fake’ IF it is serving a… Read more »
I like your interp, Centaurus! Thank you. You have Cap moon in the 8th? That sounds like such an interesting combo…hrmm, perhaps you have a sensibility for practical magic? Bringing the esoteric into the everyday? I’m fascinated.
I think your combo of Scorp/Cap seems to be all about authenticity. Scorps hate fakes (in my experience) and Caps are all about the quality and the practical. I am actually fine with certain Ikea pieces, the classic ones that have stood the test of time and the super-practical kitchen pieces etc. I tend to choose the practical structural stuff like cupboards etc and invest in high end finishes such as taps, benchtops etc. But I also have a century-plus old bookcase I’ve had for decades that I’ve lugged from house to house that is my favourite piece of furniture… Read more »
MC Taurus? Has to see their home with solid wooden furniture that endures. Home brings you your energy back from elsewhere, and radiates to others as solidity that endures. Home is also ancestral and past life energies that make up you. Are your antiques from a particular era? Are they appreciated as enduring, though from multiple eras, or crossover furniture-design eras that might have spanned a generation?
Neptune conj IC! You really have so much water power in your chart, Chrysalis…it’s fascinating. I think the needing to live in an ordered and simple way is quite a Cap moon thing too, although I imagine your Virgo energies really ramp that right up. Taurus tend to be a pretty messy sign, from what I’ve seen. My own cap moon is at loggerheads with my Mars and Merc in Sagg in the 4th which is all ADHD-type boho cluttery energy… too busy being active, chatty or out and about to care about my home…until my Cap moon clamps down… Read more »
Perfect timing Mystic! I’m moving into my first (owned by me) place tomorrow. I have Sagg on the fourth house cusp and I definitely used to relate to the pack-up and move on at any moment dynamic. But now I’m that really feeling the putting down roots Saturn foundation energy ( I have a Neptune/Vesta/Pallas Athena conjunction in this house), I’m leaning way more to my solar Pisces vibe. Seriously thinking of taking my in-storage belongings directly to the charity shop rather than trying to sort through that stale vibe stuff trying to salvage any of it. Sadly Saturn will… Read more »
Ohh so exciting to be having your own place in a part of the world you’ve specially chosen! Exciting times.
Wow. Insightful much! My IC: Aries. My mum is Sun Aries and my dad is Sun Cancer. So my IC and 4th are pretty ‘at home’ here after ancestral experience with this home/inner world placing… My moon is in Sag so I already know the peace of having this fiery energy in home & hearth. Garden/backyard space was the draw card… and possibly the crux. Enough room for our son to have a fort & trampoline + lawn, big enough to home chickens + a run, decent space for veggie plots, tonnes of sky/expansive views not hemmed in out back… Read more »
Oh, the Virgo Sun & Aqua rising husband has his Cancer moon in the 5th house, so he has always loved having friends & family over… he’s happiest to celebrate life right at home with booze and bbqs. I hate entertaining, I’m begrudgingly accommodating this part of cohabitation. Being Virgo Sun, Virgo Merc and Virgo Mars (Cap rising) I literally don’t see the point to all this time (& enviro) wastage, expense, pleasure, enjoyment. I will, ofcourse, have VV cleaned the house down to reorganizing sock drawers and/or dusting pointless parts of not-even-to-be-seen rooms in preparation and made a fabulous… Read more »
I have a libran moon, cancer IC plus mars/saturn conjunct in cancer 4th house. You could say my home is important to me. I have craved my own little place for years, as my partner is an aries sun cap moon horticulturist who prefers the outside to the inside. And just this week, the stars finally aligned and i have found the perfect little place…so happy!
I’m a Sag moon and I bought my house for the yard. Two acres bordering on a nature preserve. Perfect place for my Aqua 4th house to detach.
Get.
Sounds amazing, Electro
Libra Sun and Moon, Taurus IC: that biz about Libra getting depressed by an inadequate bathtub is unfortunately true!! I still miss a bathtub at a house I shared with an ex. Truly the one that got away. My Extremely Taurus Couch is a fundamental part of my decor (it is giant, comfortable, and makes a sort of half-hallway entry to the actual hallway) and I didn’t really feel like I was an adult or knew how to live at home until I got it. When in doubt, park it on the couch.
some additional on-point details: my bathroom has a private walk-in closet (tons of shelves, dressers, rails) and an additional smaller closet more for ‘display’ items like all the perfume and bath salts and skincare stuff, which seems like an extreme Taurus/Libra mashup. Style-wise it’s probably similar to many in this thread – haute hippie with art – I like the Nokiba incense and my Taurus mother is always gifting me plants; I have a fireplace mantle altar and a lot of ukiyo-e I’ve collected over the years + other screen and lithoprints from artists; built-in bookshelves that are packed full… Read more »
I am a Taurus with Mercury in Taurus on the IC and a second house stellium – DO NOT touch my stuff!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just don’t do it!!! My Moon is Aries, conjunct Venus in the second house – I am now a mature adult but when I was a child I physically attacked anyone who dared put a finger on my possessions. I was VIOLENT. In preschool, I bit my best friend when she disrupted my perfect block tower. In recent years my home decor style has leaned hard into “haute hippie” plus motivational posters and notes to my… Read more »
I love everything about your style as you describe it! The Venusian vibe, old world aristocratic hippie … sounds FAB.
But uh … I think the first time I saw narrowed eyes from you as I went over oohing and aahing, to inspect a lush houseplant or Venus sculpture, I would be making my excuses and backing out. 😀
Hehehe…. I had to chuckle. I am a bit that way because I can always tell when someone has touched my stuff when I’m not around. It’s either not quite where it was or energetically different and I can get that Toro squint lol. I’m pretty relaxed about it these days but I was a bit territorial in my younger years.
It IS esoteric this Taurus Thing accounting…it is all about our energetic connection to Gaia, our boundaries, our knowing what we have in simple ways that lead to careful re-stocking. Saturn in Taurus 6th. I know you have touched my stuff, one crazed worker who tries to compliment my desk organisation when busted. Funnily enough, always busted, at some point, and always reclaimed (desk is a bloody mess of busy piles, drawers and cupboards are spartan, and so is my non-response to ‘compliment’ plus stepping into to fix their issue with client without engaging with colleague until all is fixed).… Read more »
I cannot see myself in a Saggo-like house (except for the pilates / dance / swimming pool bag always packed!). I truly can’t. Would a birth chart of the house count? Mine is super old (1905) but I did not consider thata. I considered its birth the date (hour included) that I signed to become the owner of it. It’s a Capricorn with Pisces rising and Moon in Gemini so I tried to respect this part of the house. When I redid it I kept the original position of the rooms, restructure all the doors and kept all of the… Read more »
Oh I like it!
I love this idea! I’ve been in my place for a few years, I might do a chart for it too.
Wow! This post came in such a convenient time. I have studied interior design and I am obsessed with decor, in other people’s homes. I can’t feel at home in my own home and I’m embarrassed to show it to people who know I have studied interiors and also design interiors. I just can’t get my own home right. I am a Leo with Saggo rising and Moon but my IC is in Taurus and otherwise I have zero Toro in my chart. My parents are Taurus farmers who tend to hoard (how classic) so I have stayed as far… Read more »
I understand the feeling of not being able to get it quite right. Astrologically, I have a t-square with my sun at the apex close to my MC (9 degrees) so my missing leg is right there on my IC. I feel like I can’t truly relax/be myself at home.
I love the parents being Toro horders part!
Oh the insight now hey!
My mum is Aries and I have none in my chart, except (now I’ve checked) for IC Aries. I have a strained relationship with my Aries mum… maybe I need to look into healing this so I can embrace a bit of my home resentments and 4th house/IC placements.
Magic!
Is the Toro hoarding because of sentiment? Or laziness. My Toro sister has phenomenal taste and beautiful, cohesive decor. But you’d never know it under the layer of clutter and crap covering it all. As a Marie Kondo following, feng shui practicing Pisces, I do not get it. None of the hoarded stuff seems of any personal value, just unfinished projects, last season’s wardrobe needing put away, a week of used coffee mugs strewn about and the recycling needing put out. It’s just procrastination. If she had a maid, I doubt she’d care if everything was tossed. Just so long… Read more »
My parents were /are Taurean and not so much hoarders as curators of grooming products, magazines,photographs and yep curators of clutter!
My partner, that is, a man whose partner (me) is 12th house multiconjunct on the rise and a Piscean, has some proper ship’s pitch. He opened the bottle and breathed deeply and happily before passing it to me, expressing his love of the scent. That moment seemed so simple and “yes, of course!” to me, but it seems profoundly and strangely connected to some sense of the sailor in me i have always experienced ‘memories’ of, without knowing where that’s from.
This reads a little like a cryptic code girl but I will deduce the sun in the 4th is shining a light on a past life at sea and perhaps with said first mate? 😉
I have Pluto on my libra IC. I’d like to think that my home is wierd but cool ( cool for me maybe. Idk about anyone else, lol.) Picture rails in every room would be handy, though. I also spend rather a lot of time nudging objets around a space and moving framed works around to mini-curate the things. Leo virgo combo friends in my experience are the best at arranging a space. This goes with that. One of these things is not like the other. Etc. Edit. Ohhhh I’ve just figured something out. I don’t yet have my Study… Read more »
Hello, I also had an”” I am not liking my study/office” moment last week. But now I do! I added faux and real plants – one hanging, one on the ground and one on the filing cabinet. Added a hand-made lead light lamp and a lovely statue of a lady on a horse, also on the filing cabinet. These two corners face north east and south east. However, I decided the position of the room at the end of my house was where all the dead energy was getting stuck. Now, every morning I “clear” the energy by opening the… Read more »
Thank you Tina xx I think the room position is actually a big deal now that I think of it. I’ll give this some thought and the energy-stirring-up technique xx
I love your use of directions for bringing fresh air in! So interesting.
It doesn’t sound weird at all, it sounds really inventive!
In case it resonates…. in my experience my Cap moon needs a ‘job’ for every room and unless the room knows what its job is, the house doesn’t feel right somehow.
I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it’s a great way to frame it. Thanks Chrysalis ! X
OMG my Cap Rising needs Job Rooms too. My Virgo Sun is a servant/slave to this ideal.
Loved this, Chrysalis.
Interesting and some light hearted thought to balance a heavy day…. I have Leo IC and I don’t know that it necessarily reveals itself in my home so I’m curious. Luxe taste probably has an individual meaning as I like quality but not necessarily luxurious or label though at the right price I may consider it. I had put that down to my Cap moon. I think my Taurus asc claims the couch as the central piece of essential comfort. I blend new, old, eclectic and traditional themes within an earthy backdrop which also has Saggo influences. Everyone who enters… Read more »
Earthy, eclectic and thoughtfully acquired or left to be appreciated from a distance: that so reflects your astro in a beautiful way, Centaurus xxx The efficiency in the luxe of making new homes always a home (that’s its function in a mutable lifestyle, right?), and the welcome people feel seems a lot like Capricorn, in with the Taurus.
Yes, I think it is probably some of the flexibility of mutable energy and its often pretty quick! Not because I feel an urgency but perhaps because the earth needs to feel some interpretation of structure and order. I think it’s calming for Luna.
Thanks Millie xx
My Leo best friend (can’t recall what sign her IC is) also decorates with, earthy, comfortable, lived-in vibe. For her the Leo comes out in that she loves to entertain. She loves a houseful of guests that feel comfortable and at home as she bustles about, the center of attention as Queen Hostess, yet somehow making everyone else feel like they are the most important person in the room, topping up drinks, serving a hearty second helping, asking after your aunt, tossing out jokes to the wallflowers lurking in the corners, adjusting the music if the energy starts flagging, and… Read more »
Yes, she sounds Leo 🙂
I know a Leo who is informal and relaxed with space and gatherings but always welcoming.
Kriblack, I just wrote on Mystics latest Is Leo a Joke post, and my Leo bestie sounds the same as yours….
my home mostly relects my toro rising rather than cancer ic
tropical palm print paper on chimney breast, lots of plants, incl a huge monstera deliciosa (i loved them before they were mega trendy) and lots of wooden furniture….
maybe i should get a portrait of the moon….
You had me at chimney breast
ha ha!
I love my huge monstera plant, they are such great plants!
yes, i’d quite happily have a jungle in my front room!
Mmmm. I have Gemini on my IC and Gemini Sun conjunct North node Taurus . Also Mercury in Cancer conjunct asteroid Epona in my 4 the house. I like it when colours pop. And I like the idea of a book shelf where I can run my hands and eyes over books till I find the right one. But I also love minimalism. I once lived on a farm with a rescued, abused race horse. He was a cantankerous, funny, smart soul. When I was really chilled out he would put his face real close to mine and communicate with… Read more »
I LOVE horses and their vibe reading. Well any animal but espesh hosses. Your cantankerous racehorse sounds wonderful
I can’t live without colour pop in my house. Gemini (rising but also Air IC) loves a bit of snazzy shock-of-the-new impact 🙂
Thanks Pi. Yes he was a special soul.
Horse therapy is a thing. You know you are in a good space when a horse engages with you. They are so sensitive.
What’s your air IC? I’m guessing.Aquarius if you like shock. I actually prefer to match the decor to the weather. Cold weather, warm colours. Hot weather : vice versa. Must be my common sense Taurus Moon.
But I think Gemini re: home is more about natural bright light and breeze. Otherwise its depressing.
Comfortable couch you can sleep on plus fold out chair bed from ikea for guests. Lots of shelf dividers in my huge living/lounge/office/kitching/dining area full of books and magazines (which I regularly cull). Lots of plants. Lots of art (mainly my own). Colour, luxury on a budget and comfort. A few knick knacks such as japanese kokeshi dolls and a sparkly gold happy cat, and coptic crosses from Ethiopia. Healthy food in the fridge and fruit bowl and always the making of a cocktail or gin and tonic, beer for hot days/evenings. Japanese incense, candles and sage smudge sticks. Salt… Read more »
I love this! I am a Taurus sun, Pisces moon, Leo rising. People who don’t know me well are usually a little surprised at their instant ultra-comfort in my plant- and cat-filled apartment. Along with velvety couch cushions, shades of green and earth tones, many textures, nature-y art, it is, of COURSE, feng shuied all the way and filled with stones and frog totem sculptures among a variety of magical items. I work from home, so I’ve also got a perfectly equipped studio/workstation happily plunked in the middle of my living room, but in a way that people usually ooh… Read more »
Funny…i am taurus sun, neptune on my ic, and i have deep green couch, velvet cushions, many textures, natury art, frog totem sculpture, and magical items, great feng shui, comfort,( and quality in all things) Many taureans here btw <3
enjoyed relating this post to my home – looking around I see my Libra moon – beautifully balanced rooms of colour and space and art that match the proportion of my 1970s house. My Taurus sun contributes to my abiding love of couches (how many 19 year olds do you know that spend their first substantial holiday money buying a leather Chesterfield that is then carted through numerous student houses). I have Pisces on the IC and feel that my home is a safe and loving sanctuary – I even have photos of water on the wall. And Jupiter is… Read more »
My son is quad Taurus with cap rising.
I think when he comes of age he’ll SO do a you with the ‘I’m an adult now’ move with the couch too. Classic!
My entrance foyer has a welcoming tranquil altar with incense and tasteful Arabic style mirror, key holder, shoes stored in personal baskets under stairs and add my Scorpio son’s skateboard, scooter and Vans that I growl at everyday. Mercury Mars a bunch of asteroids and Sun in 4th H Taurus.
Haha Taurus growling across the square at Scorpio (Merc Mars, i’ll bet!)
