The ancient art of astrology is so mainstream nowadays that there are guides to picking everything from your next vacation spot, Halloween costume, and pasta shape based on your zodiac sign. In case anyone is wondering, I’m lasagna (Scorpio).
If you don’t already know your recipient’s birth date, now would be a good time to find out. What better way to ensure that you never miss their birthday?
Of course, one easy way to give a luxury gift that acknowledges your recipient’s astrological sign is a piece of jewelry with the symbol of their sign. Fine jewelers and luxury brands almost always have something brilliant in each sign of the Zodiac.
Chanel, Bvlgari, Gucci, Givenchy and Cartier have all done them over the years, and you can easily find rings, pendants, charms and earrings.
We also discovered Slip Sleep Masks ($50) in deep navy blue in each sign of the zodiac – what better way to wish your gift recipient sweet dreams?

the luxury gift guide: best for each sign of the zodiac
We compiled this list with our friend- astrology buff and author, Brianna Logan @jaggyish who lent her celestial wisdom to this Zodiac gift guide. Here’s our luxury gift guide for each Zodiac sign in your life.
1. ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Aries are ruled by Mars, the dynamic red planet named after the Roman god of war. Accordingly, they are energetic, confident and ambitious. You’ll find they are always brimming with ideas and on-the-go. As a fire sign, they are naturally drawn to reds which match their passionate spirit. They demand non-stop action and love to show off.
For the special Ram in your life, consider Valentino’s V Ring Shoulder Bag ($2,875) which is practical for everyday as she tackles her to-do list and commands authority the minute she walks into the room. Or maybe a trendy backpack ($635) by “It” label Off-White is the way to go for the Aries that’s running from a meeting to the sports field, doing what they do best. Working hard and playing hard.
2. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the enchanting planet that governs love and beauty. This, in combination with its earth element, make Taurus the most sensual of the zodiac. They love comfort, luxury and pampering. If a Taurus feels safe, they can be counted on to be your most rock solid, patient and reliable friend.
Grab this bull by the horns with the ultimate luxury chocolate collection from Vosges. This steamer trunk ($1,500) is filled with every truffle, caramel, bonbon, and comfort food in the Vosges Haut-Chocolat line. Top of the line sheets will not go unappreciated or unnoticed by Taurus. Hill House Home’s set of silk pillowcases ($190) are indulgent and also help prevent hair breakage.
3. GEMINI (MAY 21- JUNE 20)
Gemini is governed by Mercury, the planet of communication. These expressive twins are charmers and they love to chat and write. It’s not easy to keep up with their quick and analytic minds. Which, at times, can make them restless and indecisive. Their curiosity is insatiable and their youthful energy makes them inspired travelers and movers and shakers.
Check out this double-sided Hermes cashmere stole ($1,125) so your Gemini can switch it up according to their mercurial moods. They might also appreciate this next-level translator from Ambassador (starting at $109) that includes a specially designed over-the-ear headpiece that captures speech within 8 feet and translates it into the specified language.
4. CANCER (JUNE 21- JULY 22)
Sweet and sensitive Cancers are ruled by the Moon and they love to stay in their shells. Feelings of security and comfort are very important to them. And their homes are often a beautiful oasis where they tend to their loved ones and are loved in return. They are connected to nature and spirituality and all things celestial.
This striking and timeless candle from Artemest ($225) is plated in silver and resembles the tides illuminated by moonlight. It will be sure to find a home on any Cancer’s console or vanity. If your crab is feeling crabby, consider this ABC Home plush quilt ($995), rendered in rich velvet on one side and covered in luxurious silk on the other. A ideal refuge for reflection and cuddling.
5. LEO (JULY 23- AUGUST 22)
Leo’s magnetism and warmth is legendary. They are governed by the Sun so naturally this lion wants to be the center of attention. Their big, enthusiastic personalities are contagious and they have a flair for drama. Leos will love anything that announces their grand entrance or memorializes it for eternity.
Let’s not quibble over feline species. This regal purple coat from Gucci with leopard faux fur trim ($4,300) is fit for the king/queen of the jungle. Lights, camera, action- Leos love any excuse to pose. This Polaroid camera ($153.99) comes with packs of film that have a metallic gold decorated border.
6. VIRGO (AUGUST 23- SEPTEMBER 22)
Exacting and analytical, Virgos have it all under control. They are perfectionists and being ruled by Mercury with the Earth element make them great communicators with the reliability and practicality to back up what they say they’re going to do. Virgos love making lists and will appreciate anything that keeps them organized.
The classic Cross Townsend pen ($156) combines precious metals with rich lacquer finishes to create a timeless and elegant design that will be appreciated by sophisticated Virgo. Smythson’s heritage agendas ($380) are top of the line. Made in England this calf leather book contains a week-to-view layout with end notes on gilt-edged, pale blue Featherweight paper.
7. LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23- OCTOBER 22)
People born under this Venusian sign embellish and beautify everything they touch. They are in love with love, peace and harmony – making them natural artists, diplomats and arbiters of taste. Libras shine in partnerships and romantic relationships and will strive for justice and fairness. Indulge them with beauty and you can’t go wrong.
Tip the scales in their favor with this generous Space NK beauty advent calendar ($265) filled with goodies from Eve Lom, Tata Harper, Sunday Riley and more. The art loving Libra will embrace this hardcover, MoMA Now ($95), released to accompany the 90th anniversary of The Museum of Modern Art. And in line with their sense of fairness, the book not only includes the most beloved artworks in the museum’s collection—iconic works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol. It also features 170 works not included in earlier editions, including a greater representation of works by women, artists of color, and artists from around the world.
8. SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 22)
Scorpios have a reputation for being intense. After all, they are ruled by Pluto, the planet that governs both destruction and transformation. Their mysterious and power-hungry natures might give them a bit of a bad rep. But if you’re shopping for a beloved Scorpio, you know that they are also fiercely loyal and empathetic.
No sign appreciates fine lingerie more than sexy Scorpio. This black silk satin kimono from Agent Provocateur ($1,015) is edged with tulle in a beautiful floral design with witchy, flowing sleeves. Scorpios love a good game, since that’s when their competitiveness is viewed as most socially acceptable. Asprey’s fine leather backgammon set ($4,750) will get many hours of play.
9. SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21)
Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance, spirituality, and growth, people born under this sign can often be the life of the party. But what they really crave are intellectual and spiritual experiences. They love their freedom and are ready to travel far and wide to find the answers they seek. Sagittarius are not afraid of change and love a good debate.
These archers will love a pair of shoes that are versatile enough to keep up with their odysseys around the world. Crafted by Venetian artisans, this pair of low-top Golden Goose sneakers ($495) will work with everything. Once your Sagittarius returns home, the gift of meditation and reflection can be waiting for them. Why not welcome them back with this personal float pod from Superior Float Tanks ($28,900)?
10. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22- JANUARY 20)
Capricorns and stubborn are often found in the same sentence. These goats are governed by Saturn, the stoic planet that is associated with structure, responsibility and discipline. Their unwavering focus helps them to achieve anything they set their mind to. Though this earth sign may seem a bit conservative at first, Capricorn’s closest friends and lovers know that they also love to party.
The grounded Capricorn will appreciate any practical luxury apparel that they are too frugal to purchase on their own. This relaxed Zimmerman ivory sweater ($595) will go with any jeans or patterned skirt in their closet. Capricorns love to use their minds. For the ultimate learning experience, gift them an unforgettable 5 days at the TED2020 conference in Vancouver ($5,000 to $25,000).
11. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21- FEBRUARY 20)
Aquarians are under the influence of the planet Uranus, the eccentric planet of innovation, transformation and rebellion. Quirky and free-spirited, they are one of the most friendly signs of the zodiac and always the first to join in on a new adventure. They are also humanitarians and care for the welfare of others and society as a whole.
Aquarians are not afraid to make bold statements in their appearance. Check out this otherworldly, one-of-a kind ring created by Mociun ($5,500) from Australian boulder opals and old mine cut diamonds. Pamper your friend with Tatcha’s Special Edition Luxury Obento set ($330) which contains 8 full-size skin care essentials using Japanese inspired ingredients. Best of all, humanitarian Aquarius will appreciate that every Tatcha purchase supports girls’ education around the world through the charity Room to Read.
12. PISCES (FEBRUARY 19- MARCH 20)
Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and is said to have absorbed all the lessons learned by the preceding signs. Under the sign of Neptune, which rules inspiration, dreams and imagination, this water sign is as deep as they come. They’re empathetic, highly sensitive, compassionate and often psychic.
Give them the gift of connecting with those closest to them. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A9 Wireless Speaker looks like a work of art and delivers crisp and full-bodied sound for a classy dinner party full of meaningful conversations. Pisces gift recipients are sure to dabble in the occult. Goddess Provisions is a monthly subscription box curated to nurture the inner goddess.
