Astrology And Valentines Day: Choosing Gifts using the Stars by Annalisa

Astrology and style!

Whether you tip off your S.O. or you reward yourself for being loving all year round, Valentines Day is about love and loving yourself as well. Here are some ideas to get you started so far as what interests whatever your planetary ruler(s).

Lingerie comes first and Libra’s love the matching sets that can be found places like “Figleaves.com,” and sites like it. Try matching sets for Libra and think practical camisoles for earth signs like Cappy, Virgo and Taurus. A Taurus and Virgo love natural fabrics and things that can be used and a cami of any color depending on your preferences looks great layered under or over other cami’s or T’s as well as under jackets. It’s a sexy look but not over the top. Your Cancer friend would love a bustier or corset as will an Aquarius and some Gemini’s. Aries love the put-it-on-and-go value of yoga pants in natural fabrics and you can find cute ones that even have writing on the butt making them both cute and a statement for Gemini or Aquarius. Leo’s love fluff and having some fluff on the collar of a bed jacket would appeal to them and if you look well you may find something that can be worn out over something or inside the bedroom for drama. Don’t forget a boa is of great fun to a Cancer, a Leo and even some Pisces who love to wrap up in a dream of fluffy feathers. Pick up a stack of all colors of panties for your Cancer or Gemini friend and even your Virgo friend will appreciate the practicality of the gift of panties galore!

Try scents for gifts because we often forget to buy ourselves scent. Think aromatherapy these days for your loved one or for yourself. Spunky scents with topnotes of fruit appeal to the fresh scrubbed Virgo while old fashioned scents often appeal to the Taurus. Boho scents also appeal to the Taurus and Capricorn while Aquarius is looking for something unique that perhaps you could mix yourself at a boutique where you can blend oils to suit yourself. If you are a Pisces you might try your hand at mixing your own blend for someone or for yourself and any creative sign would enjoy this as well. It takes some time and effort but Pisces will go that extra mile if it’s right. Libra would love the vanity soaps for their bathrooms that give off scent and make things smell “pretty,” while spunky scented soaps would set off your Fire sign friends and they can also be used in your drawers as a sachet. Candles are loved by all but your Taurus friend likes to bath with candles lit and so do other earth signs. Bath salts are their friends as well and any water sign would enjoy the same.

Consider funky stationary from spots like “Knockknock.com” for your air sign friends. They have everything from funny sticky notes to stationary that is hilarious that your air sign friends would enjoy communicating with. Little note pads that are self contained with pencil and fit in the purse are attractive to my Virgo friends especially if they are covered with nice fabric covers and small enough to fit in any bag. Always taking notes, whether mental or on their smart phones, they can always find a use for paper products that are original and smart. Snail mail is not lost on the classy air sign and they would love these original designs. Kate Spade also makes a line of paper products that can be mixed and matched for your like minded friends. Gemini friends of mine show great skill with their hands, one being a jeweler and one a quilter. If you have a craft that you excel at, use it to give your friends gifts for Valentines Day!

Fun jewelry is a nice gift for your Scorpio friends. Think skeleton rings and necklaces or even a skeleton key on a chain for a great necklace! Jewelry takes on meaning for a Scorpio and they often put much of their energy into a gift of jewelry. Try birthstone jewelry for you astrology loving friends and think of keyrings with meaningful designs, even astrological symbols. A Libra always loves earrings and get them in a color that would match just about anything. Earrings are great for Leo as well to show off with their hair!

Your Sag friends might like books of photographs of places far away or about cultures not their own. Make sure they contain photos so the Sag can picture themselves there! Books about cities that interest your Sagittarius friends to visit would be nice as well. Books about whatever occult subject interests your Scorpio or Aquarius friends might be nice gifts and books to write in themselves are winners for Pisces! Books of friendship coupons are nice for Virgos because they are normally full of coupons about helping them in some way. Your Leo friends might enjoy books of celebrity photographs and so would some of your Gemini friends, many whom are film buffs. A “how to,” book might get your Aries friend excited if it’s learning something they are interested in but have not tried yet or about a hobby you see they are starting. Try Amazon.com for books of all sorts.

Gifts of food are great for home-loving Cancer’s and if you have a friend that is Aries or Sagittarius, they might not take the time to cook so cooking something for a gift is a great idea! Make your special recipe for your busy Fire sign friends.
Cancer’s love chocolate for the most part and so does Scorpio, most signs have a favorite chocolate and finding out what that is and giving it is a great idea. Send a Cancer some cookies or make them yourself, which is even better! Leos have a warm heart for home-baked as does Taurus!

If you consider a gift of clothing for any sign, consider thrift store for there are always women with large wardrobes donating their designer clothing which is then sold and you can look well and find a lot of things that suit your friends as well as yourself. Especially the collar loving Leo can be pleased by vintage coats that are dramatic while Aquarius loves the abstract as does the Gemini when shopping. Scarves are great to find for they can please almost any sign so long as you think of color and astrological sign. Dressy? Think Libra, Leo, and maybe a Cancer who loves to go out. Warm and practical scarves are good for your Virgo friends and your Cappy friends as well as Saggy.

These are just a few ideas and I could go on forever. I’ll leave you with these and I’m sure you have other wonderful ideas for gifts by sign to share as well! If you need ideas for stores, please post and I’ll do my best! Happy Valentines Day!

ROFL! Anyone that buys panties for me is going to be looked at weirdly. That’s like…something you buy for YOURSELF! HAHAHAH.

Anyway, this Pisces/Leo likes anything that proves you think I’m kind of a big deal and put a lot of thought into your choice. :)

This Pisces loves her husband who for no reason at all buys her flowers, books to write in and nice pens..and recently a ticket to go hear a favourite author speak..I never even knew he knew her name..but then he’s an Aries with Mercury in Pisces..takes it all in eh! I surprise him with some special stuff too. Happy Valentines to you all when it comes!

I like lingerie, but I don’t wear it. That’s a great site, Jessica!

I do like vintagey, detailed corsets and merrywidows. Dita von Teese has a collection:

My Aquarian friend likes the Harajuku lovers perfume. She turned me onto L’Occitane perfume, which I like. I have the lemon verbena one and the green tea one, both of which are not very sexy, I don’t like synthetic scents tarting me up, though I’m a gemini and it would be fun as a temporary olfactory costume, but not so that I identify with it. What perfumes are considered “sexy” or that men find attractive, I wonder.

Thanks for the shopping tips Annalisa!

My sister is a Cancer sun w/Taurus ASC and she has colourful panties galore and soft fabrics. I’d say for Taurus, pleasant and luxurious feeling fabrics are very important in choosing lingerie and clothes.

I’m a Cap and love camis. I also enjoy lingerie and corsets although I don’t do waist training. Cinching in even 2″ is good enough for me! I would strongly recommend getting a corset from someone who specializes in them like Puimond or Starkers or having one custom made despite the price gap unless you only want the look of the lacing.

Hi Annalisa,
Lovely suggestions!
I’ve spent way too much time looking through all the fun stuff on that stationery site you mentioned. I just ordered some of these sticky notes!
http://www.knockknock.biz/catalog/categories/sticky-notes/cubicle-notes/here-you-go-sticky/

Any site recommendations for shopping for a thrifty but fashionable Libra pal who likes vintage themed stuff? She likes the flappers era in the 20’s, the classy elegant 50’s, 60’s styles I believe. Audrey Hepburn’s style inspires her.
I do know that one of her favorite sites is http://www.modcloth.com
Real vintage is hard to come by around here, and I kinda like old fashioned stuff myself so…any sites/stores/resources with (affordable!) vintage style accessories would be much appreciated!

As for gifts I like getting, my favorites are thoughtful, personalized, useful, and last awhile. The best are handmade in some way. So don’t even bother to shop last minute for me, haha ;)
I also like practical gifts- I can understand the non-romantic aspect of that, how it could be a turn off. But I think it’s different if it was something you really needed and asked for (…and maybe if it’s wrapped up nicely as well ;))
I appreciate presentation of the gift immensely. Huge fan of random, unusual, colorful, silly… am rarely put off by the absurd/gag gifts. Overly mushy, sentimental stuff makes me just a little uncomfortable though. (gem sun, aqua moon)
