using astrology to elevate your personal style

Make your style uniquely yours by the stars

“What’s your sign?” You probably hear this question all the time.

Astrology is everywhere these days, and I’m loving it! Astrology is the idea that the positions of stars and planets at the time of your birth can influence your personality and life. Your zodiac sign is just one part of that. A birth chart, which maps the sky at the exact moment you were born, offers deeper insights into your traits, emotions, and even relationships. There are 10 main planets in you’re chart: Sun (this is what you tell everyone what your sign is, it’s your core identity), Moon (your emotions, inner self), Mercury (how you communicate and think), Venus (how you love, beauty, fashion), Mars (action, drive, energy), Jupiter (growth and luck), Saturn (structure and responsibility), Uranus (innovation and change), Neptune (dreams), finally, Pluto (transformation and power). Additionally, there is your ascendant, your rising sign. This is simply your outward personality (first impression); it also covers your health and physical features. 

Whether or not you follow astrology or believe it completely, it’s fun to see how your zodiac traits can match your personality. But astrology can go beyond just your sign; it can also help you define your personal style. In this entry, we’re going to focus on Venus, the planet that rules beauty, fashion, and love. By knowing where Venus is in your birth chart, you can unlock tips that elevate your everyday style.

Finding your Venus sign is easy! All you need is your birth date, time, and place. There are plenty of free online birth chart calculators- just enter your details, and look for where Venus is positioned in your chart. Once you have that, you’ll be ready to see how this planet can shape your personal fashion sense!

For example, my Venus is in Cancer. Cancer is known as one of the more sensitive, traditional, nurturing, and intuitive signs. Below, I’ve outlined the style guide for each Venus sign, along with some key fashion elements, a lookbook idea to master your style, and even a celebrity style muse that shares your Venus sign. Discover how to align your wardrobe with your cosmic fashion profile!

And there you have it! That’s how to style according to your Venus sign!

🌟 A fun tip: you can also incorporate your Ascendant (rising sign) to enhance your style even further, as it reflects your physical appearance and overall vibe. Personally, I resonate heavily with my Cancer Venus style, but I also lean towards a Virgo look, since my rising sign is in Virgo.
