For Astrology Lovers: The Best Gifts for Every Zodiac Sign
If you’re someone who struggles to find the perfect gift or needs a little support with your gift-giving ideas, choosing an item based on their Zodiac Sign might be just the little fresh perspective you need. Whether it’s for the holiday season, birthday, or special event, understanding the energy behind your recipient’s sign can help with picking a gift that feels right to you.
In time for this holiday season, I asked the very gifted and talented astrologer, Juanita Benedicto, to share not only a little more insight into each zodiac sign but to recommend the types of gifts that fit the energy of that sign. Juanita suggests even though a Sun sign gift works perfectly fine if you want to find a gift they'll truly value, you can even better customize it by buying for the sign their Venus occupies. (You will need to know the time, date, and location of their birth or ask them to tell you from their birth chart.) The gift suggestions are quite generous, so you can easily adjust by eliminating items to accommodate any budget.

This badass sign gravitates towards a challenge, proving to themself and others what they’re capable of. Aries packs an honest sweat while reveling in mapping out the unknown.

They live in the deep end, forever exploring life's great mysteries.
