Zodiac Summer Decor For Your Home
Welcome back! The Scribbling Homemaker has been on hiatus for a few months because I got a kidney transplant! But I haven’t been completely idle during my recovery time. I’ve been hard at work planning a new beginning for this blog.
So, welcome to the official relaunch! And just in time for the summer! I’m beginning the official relaunch with some tips and tricks for a vibrant summer home and how you can create a seasonal home using astrology.
I’m going to show you how you can use astrology not just for your home altar but to create a mystical summer home. These summer home decorating ideas will weave magic into every corner of your home.
As pagans, we feel the pulse of the seasons, and as wives and homemakers, it’s our job to capture this magic within our home. And there’s no better way to capture summer pagan home decor with the summer zodiac.
As I reintroduce The Scribbling Homemaker with this summer decor blog, I also want to introduce customizable astrology posters available in The Scribbling Homemaker marketplace. They are the perfect summer home decorating magic.
Summer calls for breezy linens, sunlit hues, and a sky full of stars. So let’s explore how to capture summer celestial magic together.
Why Astrology Enhances Summer Home Decor
Astrology is an ancient art practiced by our ancient ancestors. Almost every human civilization, on every continent, had a concept of astrology, despite being separated by oceans and vast distances. Our ancestors looked at the stars and learned how to interpret their effect on our lives.
The stars weave a sacred tapestry. They guide our lives and our homes. Outer space is an endless domain which can be seen as part of the Celestial element, the aether, the realm of the divine.
Summer decorating using astrology is a way to bring that cosmic magic indoors. You can transform your home into a reflection of those who dwell within it using the unique birth charts of your family members. This is a way to honor the universe’s rhythm, its divinity, and how it makes a mark on your life.
Astrology’s Cosmic Connection to Your Home
Astrology connects us to nature because the cosmos, though not part of the Earth, is still part of the universe, and thus, part of nature. It offers a framework for self-discovery. It reveals who you are and how you navigate through life. And it’s not just about your sun sign, which is what people are most often familiar with.
At the very basic level, learn your sun sign, your moon sign and your rising sign. For that, you will need to know what time you were born and where you were born. Because the stars and planets were in specific locations at the time of your birth and these positions changed on a minute to minute basis. Even twins may not have the same birth chart if they were born a few minutes apart.
Be sure to visit my Spiritual Astrology for Beginners Pinterest board to learn how to read your birth chart.
When you have discovered your Sun, Moon, and rising signs, you can use these to decorate. Use earth tones if your sun sign is an earth sign such as Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. For fire signs, brilliant colors are best. Use cool blues and greens for water signs, and soft, airy color schemes for air signs.
Summer Zodiac Decor Ideas Using Your Family’s Sun Signs
As pagan homemakers, astrology can be a way of bringing summer magic into our homes. Everyone under our roof has a sun sign. The sun represents the core of our essence. It will be the guiding factor for how you use astrology in crafting your home.
For the common spaces, the living room, outdoor spaces, stick to common seasonal color themes. The sun is at its height in the summer. Use the common areas as your summer canvas. Honor the sun and its warmth and the importance it has for all life on Earth.
Then, think of which rooms you gravitate towards the most, if you have your own nook, an outdoor space, the laundry room or the kitchen, etc. Then, consider where your husband spends most of his alone time. Does he have an office?
As for the children, their play rooms, their bedrooms, their bathrooms, should reflect their sun signs. Choose color schemes that represent his sun sign. For some home decor inspiration, visit my Seasonal Home Decor Pinterest board.
Fire Sign Summer Decor
If your family has sun signs in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, then their sun signs embody the element of fire. Ignite their passionate, bold personalities with bold summer zodiac decor. Think crimson throw pillows or a golden sunburst mirror to mimic summer sunsets. Embody their independent personalities, their action oriented personae. Make them think of summer passion, sun and fire motifs.
Earth Sign Summer Decor
For the Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn in your home, consider their practical personality. They appreciate stability, choose decor that will help center and ground them. Earth tones work best here. Toned greens and blues. Add woven jute rugs, potted plants, and cushions in blues and greens. For summer decor, make them think of jungles and ferns.
Air Sign Summer Decor
The mystical, charismatic, free spirited Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius in your life will appreciate breezy, open spaces. Think of sky blue, pastel yellow, and whimsical decor. Feather motifs, star-shaped lanterns, anything that invokes the feeling of lightness. Make them think of a wide open field with butterflies and a cool breeze flowing through it.
Water Sign Summer Decor
Play well to the emotional sensitivity and empathic intuition of your Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces family members. As water signs, they are likely to be very creative and have very active imaginations. They are very intuitive and very caring. Make them feel cared for. Invoke their imagination with sea scape themes, corals, sea shells, teal colors, some moon phase wall art. Your water sign family member will need a space for themselves so they can recharge.
Make your family’s sun signs into summer zodiac decor by weaving these dominant color schemes and decor into their personal spaces. And be sure to feature their astrology posters prominently in their space. They will tie into your family’s sun signs effortlessly, giving them energy that will match summer’s radiant shine.
Moon Sign Ideas for Summer Decor
Your moon sign governs your inner world. It dictates how you feel, how you dream, how you find comfort. Incorporate summer fruit motifs like strawberries, which represent June and the sweetness of life. Add animals like bucks and stags that represent the strength and vitality of the buck moon of July. And add fish like sturgeons to represent the abundance of August.
Then think of your family. The moon sign represents their most inner self, and where should they feel the most comfortable? Their bedroom, of course. Provide an environment that invokes sleep and dreams. Happy, easygoing, funny imagery for your family members with fire moon signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). Make them dream of heroism, performances, and adventures.
For your Earth moon sign family, make them dream of comfort, grounding, and stability. Give them bedtime routines, keep their spaces organized, and keep them grounded in realism. Your air moon family will desire emotional balance, stimulation, and intellectual connections. Make their bedtime routines reflect that, give them puzzles to solve as they wind down for the night. Their dreams may be filled with mental, emotional, and intellectual puzzles to perform.
Your water moon signs will feel safe sleeping in an environment that makes them feel emotionally protected and secure. Their imaginative, intuitive, empathetic interior will need a nurturing space in order to thrive.
Rising Sign Zodiac Decor for a Summer Home
Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the cosmic mask you wear. It dictates how you present yourself and approach life. Using rising signs in your home decor should focus primarily on the family that inhabits your home. Don’t focus on the common spaces as much for this part, because the rising sign is all about individuality and flavor.
You may already suspect your family’s rising sign because this is the face they present to the world. The bold, energetic, charismatic, adventurous, optimistic confidence of a fire sign. The calm, grounded, practical, disciplined, modest side of a water sign. The curious, witty, charming, humanitarian aspects of an air sign, and the nurturing, emotional, empathic, creative aspects of a water sign.
Use these traits subtly in the entryway and windows of your family’s sacred spaces. This is the window they choose to show the world. This is their expression of individuality, their uniqueness, their quirks.
Planetary Influences in Summer Home Decor
As celestial bodies that share the cosmos with us, the planets have their own unique effect on who we are. Each one can manifest itself in certain ways as they move through the skies. They were all in a specific location in the zodiac when you were born, and this can manifest itself in very many ways.
The Astrology Poster will reveal the placement of the planets in your birth chart and thus reveal the many dimensions and depths that make you who you are. Mercury represents how you plan the tasks in your life. It will reveal your method of communication.
Consider where Mercury is along the zodiac. Does it reveal your communication sign to be a Fire sign or an Earth sign? Venus and Mars are complementary to one another. Venus dominates feminine energy and feminine traits. It reveals how you prefer to be loved, how you see beauty. Mars dominates masculine energy. It will show you how you express aggressiveness, anger, passion, desire.
Jupiter and Saturn might be given their own altars in your home. Jupiter represents the luck, opportunities, and growth that comes to your home. Saturn represents authority, discipline, and how your family addresses challenges together.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are generational planets. They take so long to orbit the sun that they may spend years, even decades, in the same zodiac. For this reason, these three planets represent your family’s generational traits. Consider the generations that live in your home. You and your husband may belong to the same generations. Your children may belong to another, and perhaps your parents, your children’s grandparents, live with you too.
Uranus represents rebellion, individuality, and uniqueness. Neptune represents magic, dreams, and illusions. And Pluto represents transformation and power.
