I’m from Los Angeles, the quasi-spiritual capital of the world, so I learned the signs of the zodiac before I learned to conjugate verbs in Spanish. It’s a party trick, a conversational shortcut, and a surprisingly effective psychological tool for fostering closeness – or, in dating, occasionally opting out of it entirely (‘we’re simply not compatible’).
Star signs do tend to reveal quite a bit about personality, temperament, ambition, and desire. But what about the home? Does the daredevilish spirit of an Aries translate to bolder bedding choices? And if Taurus is a known magpie when it comes to jewelry, do those same indulgent instincts show up in the living room?
