Our zodiac is essentially a time stamp, a snapshot, of the Cosmos at our time of birth and represents the celestial dance, play, tension, joy, and grief in a beautiful moment in time. Our creative expression, whether through jewelry, art, cooking, gardening, or collecting sunsets, is tied to our distinct connection to the Cosmos, and our choice of adornment is an expression of the Cosmos as experienced through our unique energetic body.

Aries

Aries is a fierce warrior with battle-time instincts, an entrepreneur with ideas galore and infinite energy, passion, and drive to create. This sign is ready for action and adventure at a moment’s notice, whether it’s sky diving, dancing the night away (likely in the same gear they wore sky diving), starting slack communities, launching a business (or two or three), or taking a quick snowboarding trip to Whistler. Aries is that occasionally uncouth friend loved for their honesty and directness but feared by those dodging mirrors. To win an Aries over, be honest and avoid flattery.

Taurus

Taurus seeks beauty, comfort, pleasant aromas, the pinnacle of savory and sweet flavors, aesthetic upgrades, and all things earthy and natural. They have an eye for the refined while still prioritizing the practical. Taurus tends to mind their own business, and it pays in dividends as they cut through all the racket to make wise and deliberate business decisions. They enjoy life’s simple and sensual pleasures from feeling the earth’s cool soil while tending to their always thriving garden to enjoying the feel of an organic all-natural white cotton V-neck and soft worn blue jeans. Taurus loves earth so much they can even get their heels stuck in it and are famous for either winning arguments or just outlasting any opponents.

Gemini

Gemini is fast talking, fast thinking, curious, witty, and always ready for their next intellectual adventure, whether through conversation, learning a new language, or delving into an obscure topic such as the Dancing House of Prague. It is said that a Gemini rents vs buys and that’s to keep their exploration options open. Today, Gemini may reside in Montreal, but there are infinite notable cities and central business districts, or better yet cities and towns that don’t even get an honorable mention, and these random places inspire a bottomless curiosity. Gemini begs to roam and explore, typically cities and urban centers, where they find plenty of windows to shop, conversations to eavesdrop, and coffee shops to befriend.

Cancer

At the heart of Cancer is the home, domesticity, creature comforts, and family (however family is defined to each person). Cancer is traditional, sentimental, feeling, emotional, caring, compassionate, intuitive, and loving. Photographs, a childhood baseball mitt, a hokey coffee mug they received as a gift from their mom, and a worn-out shirt that reminds them of countless memories are all keepsakes that Cancer will not relinquish without a fight. Cancer seeks calmness, peace, and love in their home, and they won’t rest until they find it. They create an oasis that allows their love and tenderness to flow freely. Cancer has a certain kind of magic and knowing attributed to their deep intuition and connection to the people in their lives.

Leo

Leo is the true royalty of the Zodiac. Gregarious, generous, outgoing, magnetic, and at times uncompromising with a flair for the dramatic. Leo is the lion or lioness, the lead character in a play, the king or queen with the showy, adorned, purple velvet robes. Leo is the person that signs up to chaperone a fleet of children at an amusement park and while waiting in line keeps them all captivated with creative tales of magical lands. And these creative tales and adventures, undoubtedly, end up being more memorable than any of the rides. Whether in business or play, Leo is a team player who empowers those around them because they believe that a rising tide lifts all boats.

Virgo

Virgo uses earthy hues and tones to color inside the lines. Virgo makes sure to follow all the rules – in fact, they might even contact the rule makers to provide edits or highlight inconsistencies. Always dependable, practical, productive, and discerning, Virgos are industrious warriors that get the job done and done correctly. Virgo is loyal and will do anything to help a friend. If need be, they will move mountains, as in personally, they will pick up the individual rocks that constitute a mountain and move them. After a fresh snowfall, identify a Virgo household by seeing what driveways have been shoveled by 6 AM with perfect precision. Scratch that, Virgo has likely also shoveled their neighbors’ driveways so unless they are caught in the act at that early hour, it’s hard to determine who the angel is.

Libra

Fair, balanced, and diplomatic are Libra guideposts. Why pick a side when choosing both or all is a perfectly fine option. Libras are the mediators of the Zodiac. Where beauty, elegance, and harmony reside, Libra is in their happy place. Exquisite and impeccable taste and high standards are Libra trademarks. Libras are high fashion with an understated and classic look and always house their attire in a perfectly organized closet. If sweatpants exist in their wardrobe, they are sure to have an impressive name brand attached. Libras are social creatures and love sharing their life with partners in love or crime. To get in their good graces, use flattery, laughter, and introductions to people in high society.

Scorpio

Scorpio is equal parts exciting and electrifying with a sprinkle of terrifying on top. Those who recognize Scorpio’s magic must also respect their power, because the former without the latter is a recipe for trouble. Scorpio is full of allure and magnetism. They have a stash of secrets, sorcery, and spells that attract even the most traditional and conservative of people. The first to find their way out of an escape room, Scorpio excels in solving mysteries, especially ones that involve the depths of personalities and souls. Scorpio leaves no stone unturned, no situation unexamined, and no spell untested. They are the sleek, beautiful, and fierce feline atop a brick wall that bewitches a pack of street dogs with a fleeting glance.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius doesn’t just bring the party, usually they are the party, at least the center of it. They enter every space ready and willing to perform and amuse. Many Sagittarius are famous, either world famous or within their smaller communities and for those more subdued Sagittarians, a small part of them embodies the essence of a celebrity, even if it’s just in their own household. Equally as comfortable on stage with a microphone as hosting a small celebration, where they have no doubt created a beautiful space for friends and loved ones to gather, laugh, and break bread. Sagittarius loves to entertain and bring merriment. Always the explorer and adventurer, whether through travel, philosophy, art, or curiosity.

Capricorn

Driven, ambitious, disciplined, purposeful, and focused are all traits of Capricorn. Their desire for career, finance, and prestige is most often accomplished behind the scenes. Behind every great leader, commander, kingpin, president, executive, or chairperson will often be a less showy, loyal, hardworking, business savvy Capricorn who helped the leader accomplish their goals. Capricorns avoid the limelight in favor of conserving their energy for more out of sight strategic endeavors. Although born with a serious expression, brief case in hand, and a template for a 30-60-90-day business plan, it has been said that Capricorn ages in reverse allowing them to become more playful as the years go by. Capricorn finds joy from the great outdoors – usually through structured play such as climbing steep mountains.

Aquarius

To glimpse into the future, observe an Aquarius. They are the closest thing to experiencing a time travel machine. Aquarians are futuristic and operate in a world that does indeed exist…. just not yet. Humanity, equality, visionary, egalitarianism and independence are words that help describe the typical Aquarian. Dominance and social inequalities are nails on a chalkboard to an Aquarius. One famous Aquarian country singer is known for his refusal to sell prime seats to the highest payers and instead he offers his concert tickets at one fair price to all on a first come, first serve basis. Aquarius is intelligent, innovative, eccentric, and rebellious, they are the absent-minded professors with their minds in the future. Aquarius both expects and gives freedom and holds a beautiful humanitarian vision for the future.

Pisces

The mystic and psychic of the Zodiac, Pisces resides on a spiritual plane frolicking with wizards, magicians, and sorcerers. A water sign with profound intuition, feeling, and sensitivity, Pisces can see deep into the energy and soul of others and use their wizardry and magic to guide, reflect, and support their friends and loved ones. Pisces are flexible in thinking, quick adapters, and a perfect addition to any project requiring ingenuity and inspiration. They are known for their imagination and creativity, so long as they are not forced into structure or strict deadlines. Pisces are whimsical creatures that when cosmically inclined can see beyond the physical into new realms and on a practical day can spot the perfect vintage piece to complete their living space.
