Welcome to Decoroscopes, the monthly astrology column by Elle Decor. Every month we use the cosmic forecast to control your decisions at home, from larger renovation work to subtle refreshments. Regardless of whether you consider a brave color color or discuss a furniture upgrade, let the stars be your guide.
Do you live authentically in your room or do you still play the role of which you think you should be?
Mars appears on August 6th and focuses on the dynamics of relationships – including her relationship with her own space. Mercury retrograde ends on August 11th and finally enables the brain fog and the paralysis of decision to be lifted. The full moon in Aquarius on August 9th illuminates the gap between the ideals of the community and personal needs, while Venus joined Leo on August 25th and reminds us that this should be home where we feel the most radiant.
When the sun occurs on August 22nd on August 22nd, followed by the new moon in Jungfrau on August 23, it is time to harvest what the Leo season planted and refined into something useful. So each character can navigate this transition.
Aries
Mars Retrograde in her home sector finally ends on August 27 and unleashed renovation energy for months. But do not tear everything apart, instead think about strategic strikes. Concentrate on a change with a high impact that changes the way you move through your space. Perhaps it finally installs a kitchen island or creates a mudroom system that bypasses its lifestyle. The Venus-Jupiter Trine on August 17th brings unexpected resources for improvements at home, but only if you have done the planning basis.
bull
Venus in Leo on August 25th asks her not to hoard her and use her. The vintage dishes collect dust in the closet? The luxury candles that you “save for special occasions”? Treat everyday life as worthy for your best things. This month requires permanent luxury, investing in quality such as a hand -calculated carpet or a marble table to anchor your space. Refresh your bedroom with linen leaves or a velvet head part. The Aquarius on August 9th in her career sector suggests that your home could even become a income. Hug natural materials such as wood, stone and ceramics that speak to their earthy nature.
Twins
The Mercury Direct on August 11th finally deletes the mental fog, which has been clouding its design decisions for weeks, Gemini. They have between minimalist and maximum, vintage and modern, cozy and elegantly freaked-this month brings clarity about what actually reflects their multifaceted personality. Instead of choosing an aesthetic trace, take your duality with deliberate contrast: Create a few, slim modern desk with a vintage stool or create a reading corner that represents all warm textures alongside a work area with clean lines and bright lighting.
Cancer
The Aquarius revolutionized in her transformation sector on August 9, as you think about safety and comfort. This fortress mentality, which has previously served you, may no longer serve them. Concentrate on an input design that welcomes the right people and at the same time maintains their limits (e.g. climbing plants that create privacy without being defensive). Your decorative instincts are currently razor-sharpening. The kitchen demands an upgrade to honor both tradition and innovation. Perhaps this device inspired by vintage or a back splash that tells her story.
Lion
Her birthday month coincides with a rare conjunction of the Venus-Jupiter in her sign on August 13 and is the most cosmic time for the transformation of home for years. But instead of becoming larger and braver, the universe asks you to go deeper and authentic. Think about what's doing You Feel beaming when you are alone at home on a Tuesday evening. Your living room is your kingdom this month; Treat it like the reception area of your personal palace.
Virgo
Your season officially begins on August 22, but this year you will be asked to redefine what “has” everything together “actually means. The past few weeks of the Leo drama have taught them that perfectionism is not the same as intention and their home should reflect this development. This month, focus on creating what you actually need instead of what is compiled for others. The new moon on August 23 in your sign offers you permission to start freshly with systems that serve your real rhythms. Your home should work like your mind: precisely when it matters, flexible if this is not the case.
Scale
Mars, who entered her sign on August 6 after months of review, is as if you were finally getting permission to trust her aesthetic instincts. You have eaten each design decision second, but now it's time to sign. The energy of the month for common resources and partnerships means concentrating on pieces that work for relationships, e.g. B. a round dining table or intimate seating. Your eye for the balance is particularly sharp this month. Trust the instincts about proportions and harmony.
Scorpio
The full moon on August 9th in her family sector forces herself to face how her need for control has sabotaged her actual comfort at home, Scorpio. In this way, you have focused on creating an environment in which the strength you forgot to build one that actually restores you. Spread the performance this month and concentrate on what you feel regenerated. Invest in textures that make you touch them, fragrances that change your mood immediately, or furniture that you invite you to roll and disappear from the world when you have to charge.
Protect
Mercury, who goes directly on August 11th, has finally been cleared out of confusion of the home project with which you have dealt with since July – you know that you will reorganize your closet, but finally questioned your entire furniture agreement. Concentrate this month that your space works for the person you actually are, not for the person who has perfectly assigned your life. Perhaps this means finally admitting that you are spread out most of your best thinking with papers everywhere on the floor so that you need a coffee table with which you can be a desk. Or you can see that when scrolling on the kitchen counter, you prefer to eat a breakfast at the kitchen counter. Investing in the right bar stool is therefore more sensible than the formal dining set that you never use. Your home should support your actual habits, even those who don't look perfect.
Capricorn
The 23rd August Jungfrau New Moon In her adventure sector, she asks her not to treat her home like a waiting room for her “real” life. In this way, they have concentrated on building the perfect basis that they have forgotten the foundations to support the actual life, not only look stable. Give permission this month to enjoy the space where you have worked so hard. The Mars in Libra -Energie urges her to think about how “success” actually feels at home. Note: It is likely that not everything fits perfectly. Concentrate on an area in which you can let go of the “Investment Piece” mentality and choose something exclusively because it makes you happy.
Aquarius
The full moon in your sign on August 9 forced a complete barge in style. You now want your space to reflect the real substance behind the unconventional decisions, and your firm air signs mean that you need intellectual stimulation from your area. On August 25th, Venus will take its focus on rooms in which others are housed, not just in their lonely moments.
Fish
You have lived so much in your head lately that you forgot that your body actually has to exist in your room. The full moon of Aquarius on August 9 shows how you have ignored the practical realities of your sensitive nervous system, how the way you give headache over your head lighting or how you always work out of your bed because your desk chair makes you fidgeting. Stop apologizing for your specific needs this month and start with the design around you.
