Gift Guide For Every Zodiac Sign
How Your Friend's Star Sign Can Help You Find The Perfect Gift
We all have someone in our lives who thinks it’s written in the stars. There are plenty of themed zodiac gifts and astrology gifts that any horoscope-obsessed friend is guaranteed to love. But did you ever think about choosing birthday gifts according to people’s zodiac signs and their personality traits?
Some say information derived from star signs is all guesswork. Astrologers, on the other hand, believe they're a map of how people behave and interact with others. This can also influence their chosen career path, favourite pastimes, likes and dislikes.
Here at Gifts Australia, we thought it would be interesting to delve a little deeper into Astrology. It’s a field that most people only think about in passing, but one thing's certain, if the cosmos really does affect human behaviour, then gift-giving gets a whole lot easier. Our handy gift guide for star signs could be the answer to your cosmic prayers!
How Astrologers Determine Star Sign Personality Traits
Astrologers have been gazing at the stars for thousands of years. Through their studies, they identified the main factors they believe influence a person's basic characteristics. If they’re right, these factors influence the traits in people born under different star signs and the kinds of gifts that will have the wow factor!
Here’s some of the fun science that went into our horoscope gift guide:
Triplicities
In Astrology, this refers to the four elements of earth, fire, water and air. Depending on your star sign, you fall under one of these four categories.
- Earth star signs are Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus - practical and strong.
- Fire star signs are Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries - passionate and volatile.
- Water star signs are Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer - emotional and intuitive.
- Air star signs are Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini - curious and intellectual.
Quadruplicities
This refers to three groups of four star signs each that share the same qualities.
- Cardinal star signs - Capricorn, Aries, Libra and Cancer which mark the beginning of each new season. They tend to be trendsetters and often the first to kick-start initiatives.
- Fixed star signs - Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus and Leo which mark the midpoint of every season. They are considered as a steady force that keeps everything in perfect motion.
- Mutable star signs - Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius and Virgo which mark the end of any season. They are seen as very flexible individuals, willing to accommodate changes.
The Ultimate 12 Zodiac Personalities Gift Guide For Star Signs
Aries - March 21 - April 19
Aries has a ruling planet of Mars which brings out an animal instinct that’s passionate and ambitious. They are pioneering and love new things, so on-trend gadgets and hobby equipment make perfect zodiac sign birthday gifts for an Aries. Consider personalised gifts like unique accessories, a fabulous bag, or a favourite bottle of fragrance. Anything action-oriented like equipment for sports, camping gear, or any adventure experience will be perfect for your Aries.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
With a ruling planet of Venus, the goddess of beauty, Taurus is all about pleasure and luxury. They are the zodiac sensualists, so the best gifts for a Taurus are those that make them feel cosy, relaxed and well-fed. Gourmet food and wines, chocolates, essential oils and anything soft-to-the-touch are the way to go. Hardworking and practical, Taureans also adore designer clothes and accessories, tasteful home furnishing and artwork.
Gemini - May 21 - June 20
Gemini's ruling planet Mercury makes them articulate and great communicators. Favourite gifts a Gemini will love include customised phone accessories and any tech gadget or gizmo. A mutable sign, they enjoy learning new things and like to be informed and constantly amused. Books, games and subscriptions are perfect choices for a Gemini man or woman. Stimulate their minds with zodiac birthday gift ideas connected to hobbies, new apps, puzzles, games, or any life experience.
Cancer - June 21 - July 22
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which brings a need for comfort and makes them want to retreat from the world occasionally. Cancer star signs love a cosy, stress-free home, so nurturing gifts, home decor, cookbooks, and artwork gifts can all help create a relaxed environment. As sensitive and caring people, the best gifts for a Cancer zodiac man or woman need to be from the heart. Think thoughtful hands-on crafts, photo albums, or even a rejuventating spa treatment.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
Ruled by the sun, Leos adore attention and can radiate positivity. This spotlight-loving sign will adore anything gold, from watches to anklets, so jewellery is a good choice for a gift for a Leo. Proud, confident and creative, Leos love the best and often have champagne tastes. As they like to be centre-stage, statement pieces of any kind will always do the trick. Funky barware, cool accessories, a luxurious bathrobe, and anything fit for a king or queen will be gifts a Leo will love.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
With Mercury as their ruling planet, a Virgo is analytical in their thinking and a born organiser. Anything that makes life efficient is always appreciated as a gift for a Virgo, even gifts you might consider boring, like office organisers, calendars and journals. Although Virgos are practical, they can be fussy, and they like learning, so think of useful gifts they'll use. Beautiful accessories, challenging games, kitchen gadgets, and functional items for home and hobbies are sure to please your Virgo friend.
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Librans have the ruling planet of Venus, which creates a balance in relationships. They are level-headed, compromisers, and fashion-conscious, so any on-trend gift will make its mark. Libra men and women are known to have refined tastes, so romantic and beautifully packaged gifts are also a win. Silky sheets, aromatic candles, eye-catching homeware or art will catch their attention. A Libra also loves trips of any kind, from a restaurant dinner to a weekend away.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
With Pluto as their ruling planet, a Scorpio is willing to take charge of major events without hesitation. They have an innate desire to delve into the mysteries of the world, so appreciate sensual or pampering gifts. Curious and intense, Scorpio will love gifts that reflect their many interests. Try interesting and unique gifts to surprise your Scorpio, like novelty glasses, educational books, an astrology chart or mind-bending puzzles.
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter, which brings out the star sign's adventurous side. A Sagittarius loves to travel and understand the world, so leather luggage, travel accessories or an underwater camera will indulge their wanderlust. Other gifts a Sagittarius will love include concert or event tickets, travel books, wall maps or even a diary or journal. Think life experiences or fun gifts to share with friends that help them share their exciting escapades.
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
With the ruling planet of Saturn, Capricorns have the most hardworking, practical and productive traits. They love useful gifts that can help them get ahead, but they also like to look chic. Equally happy to receive a handy gadget as designer leather, a Capricorn is extremely easy to buy for. Thoughtful gifts like helpful home and outdoor accessories, tech items, a day planner or even handy gift vouchers would all be gifts a Capricorn would love.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
The ruling planet Uranus provides Aquarians with inspirational bursts that encourage thinking out of the box. Aquarius men and women are innovators, and love nothing more than gifts that inspire learning or get their creative juices flowing. A telescope, star maps, handy tools for a project, cool gadgets or anything connected to their goals are all winning gifts for an Aquarius. Think useful, original, a little quirky, and fun to make sure your gift is well loved.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Neptune, the ruling planet for Pisces, brings influences like spirituality to life. Pisces is an altruistic sign, so any charitable donation will make them smile. Open and compassionate, they love to lounge and recharge. Cosy PJ’s, essential oils, candles or a wellness gift will be a hit for a Pisces. People under this star sign are adaptable, practical and often have many different interests, so choose creative gifts like a painting set, something crafty, or even a yoga retreat day.
