How To Decorate Your Dorm Room Based On Your Horoscope

Going back to college after summer vacation excites me for a number of reasons. You get to end LDRing your college friendships; return to living on your own terms (aka nag-free microwavable dinners and vending machine desserts every night); buy a new wardrobe and renew your vows that this will finally be the year you actually wear this stuff instead of your Lululemons every day; and, most importantly, redecorate your dorm room. Hello, Pinterest dorm inspiration boarding! However, choosing how to decorate can be tricky, so here’s a guide on how to decorate your dorm based on your own unique horoscope.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This fire sign, ruled by Mars, the God of war, is known for being quick-tempered, but also ever-loyal and extremely passionate. Since you’re always on-the-go, it’s important to stay organized with wall hooks, filing systems, and anything else that ensures you don’t get slowed down by not being able to find things. Choosing a warm color scheme with oranges and reds will appeal to your inner fire sign.

This sign, ruled by Venus, the Goddess of love, beauty, and money, adores all things luxurious and beautiful. You are true “creatures of comfort” and would love a room filled with plush throw pillows, furry blankets, and pretty accents.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are a social butterfly and deserve a room as fun as your personality!  Quirky pillows and fun signs are a great way to add personality to any dorm room. As an air sign, you’re a pro at breezy small-talk, which coupled with your easygoing nature makes you a friend magnet. Make sure to have a wall calendar where you can track all your engagements!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This water sign, ruled by the Moon, gets a bad rap for being moody, but that can also be reinterpreted as being in tune with one’s emotions. To keep your spirits high, fill your room with positive messages such as a “Good Vibes” pillow and framed inspirational quotes. You’re also highly sentimental so you may enjoy having a photo wall with photos of your friends from back home.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

This sun sign lights up whatever room they enter. You’re confident, loud, and love being the center of attention. Pick a room with accents as bold and poppy as your personality by incorporating throw pillows in fun fabrics like stripes and leopard print.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

This earth sign is ruled by Mercury and is known for being calm, analytical, and down to earth. As an earth sign, you would thrive by incorporating natural elements like hanging plants, and purifying touches like crystals and candles in relaxing scents like lavender.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

This air sign’s symbol is the scale, so try adding a sense of balance to your room through mirrored artwork, hanging lights, and furniture. You’re also ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and money, which means you like luxurious things.  Furry blankets and shiny, brass accents are an easy way to add a touch of glamor to any dorm.

Copy This Look:

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

This water sign ruled by Pluto and Mars, and is known by for being magnetic, moody, and alluring. Picking a darker color scheme with some accents in your sign’s colors, scarlet and rust, would suit you well.

Copy This Look:

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Dreamy, impulsive, and always looking for new adventures, this fire sign would do well with a travel theme. Use a clothes line to display your travel photos and hanging maps to inspire you with new destinations to ponder for spring break. Reflect your larger-than-life personality in your dorm with big pieces of artwork and bright, cheerful accent colors.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

This earth sign is ruled by Saturn, the planet of self-control. If there’s one thing you excel at, it’s getting stuff done. Choose a minimalistic theme and make sure your desk is a focal point. Pretty vases and matching frames can help you stay organized in an aesthetically-pleasing way.

Copy This Look:

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

Creative, independent, and rebellious, this air sign is the colorful hippie of the zodiac. Giant plants, Aztec prints, and low-to-the-ground furniture can all help you achieve a tropical dorm vibe. Your sign’s colors are light-blue and silver so don’t forget to include these in your color scheme!

Copy This Look:

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

This water sign, ruled by Neptune and Jupiter, is known for having its “head in the clouds.” Dreamy, passionate, and artistic; create a magical dorm room with twinkling lights, hanging canopies, and inspirational artwork.
