Autumn is upon us, and the UK is once again fuelled with pumpkin spiced lattes as they get ready for longer nights and shorter days. Here, Sylvia James at Housetastic.co.uk presents the personality traits of each star sign along with the characteristics of their autumnal interior style…

Aries star sign dates: March 21 – April 19

An Aries is fiery, ambitious and knows what they want.  A natural leader, they are also kind, generous and intelligent.

An Aries loves to constantly expand their knowledge and like their home to serve as a space where they can grow their skillset.  A terrarium that stirs interest, promotes mindfulness, and serves as a centrepiece is perfect for an Aries.  Themed Terrariums are the latest trend this Autumn/Winter and an Aries is likely to alter it each festive season.

Taurus star sign dates: April 20 – May 20

A Taurus tends to spend most of their time deep in thought.  They often get mistaken for being lazy however, this is not the case as they like to fully analyse a situation before they commit to it.

A Taurus seeks sanctuary and views their home as their haven.   Adopting autumnal scatter cushions, weighted blankets and an array of pumpkin spiced candles is the norm for a Taurus.  This gives them the chance to centre themselves and think about the day ahead.

Creative, spontaneous, and fun are all words that are synonymous with a Gemini.  A Gemini is always ‘on the go’ and requires constant mental stimulation.
