If Instagram is any indication, the love for astrology is going strong. If anything, it seems to be more intense than ever. There have always been books about it, as well as websites, apps, and magazine articles about horoscopes. But with dozens of social media accounts making 'scopes and memes for all the signs of there, it seems to be more popular than ever. And it makes sense. Regardless of one's view on the zodiac is, the point is that astrology is fun and the stars are beautiful. People connect with it so much, signs are made into jewelry, folks get their symbol tattooed on their body (and there are a ton to choose from, too!). Baby name inspiration has stemmed from the stars and they are super cute names to be honest. The best part? People who love astrology make great people to shop for gifts for. It's unusual enough of a love (and gift area) to get something creative that they may not have thought to get for themselves.
But first things first. For those who aren't familiar with the signs, here's a quick overview. There are 12 signs and each represents a constellation in the sky and a time of year when someone is born. The signs are Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Gemini, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra, and Scorpio. Each sign has a symbol, like the lion (Leo), the crab (Cancer) or the scales (Libra), and each represent a personality "trait" those born as each sign are purported to have. Many find it intriguing because of the mystery of it and also due to the phenomenon of many people really relating to who the stars say they should be. Or how they should act.
At the end of the day, stars are pretty and it's cool to feel represented, somewhere, even if it's being grouped as the "lion." They also make gorgeous jewelry and art as we found in our search for zodiac-related gifts. Like one who likes a sports team and buys the merch, the same goes for people who enjoy their horoscopes and sign. The scales or the "ram" symbol may mean something special to them. So why not turn that into a cool gift for them this holiday season? We rounded up a few options to choose from, all ranging in their functions.
