We all have that friend: the one who can guess someone’s star sign the minute they enter the room; who checks Co-Star like most people do the Weather app; and blames any misfortune on Mercury being in retrograde (though it often is, no?). By ‘that friend’, we also might be talking about ourselves here.
If you can relate – or you know someone who does, why not pick up one of these zodiac-themed buys, from books linking astrology and literature to beauty products scented to complement the traits of each star sign. We sense a little shopping might just be in your future...
For Serving Up
One for the host of the friendship group – this large platter, designed and printed by artist Josephine Dessine, subtly incorporates all 12 symbols of the zodiac, to help you serve up dinner in style. Zodiac Dinner Plate, £58, Maison Flaneur
For A Home Update
Nobody does a statement print quite like British visual artist David Shrigley. You can buy individual prints dedicated to each astrological sign (featuring his signature bold palette and playful humour), but we love this supersized poster, with all 12 together. Hang over your dining table or sofa for an instant conversation starter. Poster, €60, Davd Shrigley
For Your Morning Brew
There’s nothing like a big, chunky mug to hold your first caffeinated drink of the day. Artist Eleanor Bowmer’s hand-painted, vibrant designs are tailored to each star sign – so whether you’re a Gemini twin or a Cancerian crab, there’s a super-cute take on your character that will make you smile as you put the kettle on. Zodiac Mug, £14, Eleanor Bowmer
For A New Outlook
If going to turn to tarot for a glimpse of what’s to come, you might as well make it a chic set of cards. This historic Astro Tarot Oracle deck was first issued in 1927 in Paris (so far, so chic), with a design by French artist Henri Armengol. This timeless set comes with a handy guidebook, offering both English and French interpretations on the cards, to help you see all the more clearly. Astrological Tarot Deck with Guidebook, £39, Parigotte
For A Luxe Touch
When in doubt, turn to jewellery. It’s always a thoughtful gift and, if we’re shopping for ourselves here, nothing says ‘self-love’ quite like something golden to slip around your neck. Edge of Ember’s 18k gold-plated pendant is a great addition to your everyday chain – and it’s engravable, to add a personal touch. Zodiac Pendant, £70, Edge of Ember
For A Good Sleep
Nothing guarantees a good night’s sleep quite like an eye mask – this silk design by Slip not only blocks out all light, but is gentle on your skin and hair, too (no wrinkle- or frizz-inducing friction here). Plus, they’re beautiful, with 12 designs for each sign. We’d add-to-basket soon, as ours are already full of these... Zodiac Sleep Mask, £75, Slip
For Some Self-Care
Splashing out on soap might feel a bit much, but it’s a small treat guaranteed to elevate an everyday moment. And when you add on the fact that Horosoaps’ bars are scented to complement your sign’s traits (outgoing Leos are offered the calming blend of turmeric, bergamot and rosemary, for example), bathtime suddenly becomes a peaceful oasis perfectly tailored to you. Zodiac Bar Soap, £18, Horosoaps
For Literary Lovers
It wouldn’t be a Service95 shopping list without a literary-themed buy, would it? Here, Charlie Castelletti puts a witty spin on the usual astrological guides, weaving extracts, poems, authors and characters from classic literature into chapters devoted to each star sign. (Did you know the irreverent Virginia Woolf was a typical Aquarius?) A wonderfully fresh way to help you understand the zodiac. A Book Lover’s Guide to the Zodiac, £10.99, Bookshop.org
For A Friday Night
Have you ever gone to buy a bottle of wine as a gift for someone, and then had to really think about what they’d like? Cosmic Collection Wine might just be the answer. Founder and sommelier Kate Webb blends the art of astrology with winemaking, resulting in blends with characteristics that play up to each individual sign – take the unique, intriguing orange wine, designed for Scorpios and their signature air of mystery. Cosmic Collection Wine, $29.99, Sun Moon Rising
