Here’s a cosmic guide to the wedding of every sign’s dream.
VIRGO (August 24-Sept 23): “The Picky Princess”
You’re a simple kind of girl, but your wedding day is an exception. You want to feel like an absolute princess on your wedding day. Handling the production details will be important to your practical sign, and you’ll work side-by-side with your wedding planner (or may even chose to wear that hat yourself) to craft a spreadsheet that tracks your budget, vendors and timeline. You want to make sure every guest is exquisitely taken care of, with gift baskets waiting in their hotel rooms and special favors on their dinner plates. But make no mistake: You’re the Queen Bee of this day!
LIBRA (Sept 24-Oct 23): “The Goddess of Glamour”
Your wedding should be a gorgeous day of love and sentiment. Libra is the sign of relationships and ruler of the zodiac’s marriage house…and also is the sign governed by Venus, the planet of love, beauty and romance. You want tons of flowers, poetry, music, champagne and other sweet touches. Your sentimental side will come out in full force, not that it’s ever really hidden. You love to get glamorous, so book a full glam squad for pre-wedding pampering before you slip into your show stopping gown. Of course, your nails are your biggest priority, so a meticulous manicure and pedicure are at the top of your list before the big day! SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22): “The Sexy Shadow Girl”
Admit it Miss secret Scorpio…you’ve been planning this day since you were a little girl, down to the very last detail. You know exactly what you want and where to get it. Picking out the ring, the dress, and the cake will seem like a piece of cake to you! –because you know the styles, the shops, and the exact store locations as to where to hunt them down and find exactly what you’re looking for. You want this to be the most memorable (and picture-worthy) day of your life. The icing of the cake for you is the chance to channel your creativity and show off your impeccable taste. Scorpio is a private sign, so you may want to keep the guest list small enough to make your wedding intimate and meaningful.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 22): “The Wild Child Wedding”
Adventurous and fiercely independent, you’re hardly the traditional bride. Just because you’re getting married doesn’t mean you’re not the same wild-and-crazy girl, and your wedding proves it. If that means hiring Cirque du Soleil performers, setting up a karaoke lounge, or eloping to a Vegas chapel, so be it. You’ve got a zillion friends from all walks of life, so bringing them together for a fun, memorable day could take quite a toll on your budget. As the sign of the traveler, you may want to host a destination wedding, or just have everyone gather informally on the beach or in a big open field for your vows, before heading off to a separate reception.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan 20): “The Loyal Lover”
You take “till death do us part” right to the very core of your heart.
Deeply traditional, Capricorn takes her vows and commitments seriously. When you give your word to something, you really do mean exactly what you say. Family is a big part of why you’re getting married, so you’ll honor your very own by having the wedding location in your “childhood church”…a house of worship you grew up going to or even in your parents’ backyard. You like simple and classic with a VIP twist, and that will be expressed in your dress, your ceremony and your reception. The ultimate giveaway that you’re a Capricorn bride?: Your understated elegance and pared-down wedding style…which makes you an instant icon. AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19): “The Bohemian Badass”
Think: Barefoot in the park or at the beach. With your bohemian soul, you want a wedding that defies convention and expresses your unique, quirky personality. As the sign of group activity and friendship, you’re most concerned about the guests having a good time and feeling at ease. You’ll add creative, funny elements to ensure that. You want it to be relaxed and fun for everyone, with more laughter than tears. Chances are, you’re marrying your BFF, and you want to make sure the playful spirit of your bond is expressed. PISCES (Feb 20-March 20): “The Mystical Mermaid”
You’re the zodiac’s sign of fantasy and illusion, and your wedding should sweep people away to a magical land. Romantic to the core, you want the fairy tale, albeit with a creative twist. You take pride in your “indie” tastes and will have a ruling hand in the music playlist, the decor and other aesthetic details. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, mythic god of the sea, so a beach ceremony or one surrounded by water will suit your fancy and make you feel like a true aquatic angel. Your inner mermaid emerges with the help of sequins, shimmery satin, pearls, or even a fishtail gown.

Display happy pictures of you and your loved one laughing, smiling, hugging, and kissing. Frame the pictures that conjure up the best of memories, including any professional wedding pictures.
Save the happy family photos to be showed elsewhere around the gathering spaces of your home, like the living room or kitchen. Keeping family photos out of the main bedroom and putting any stray photos into albums will minimize struggles with family fall-outs and help to maintain healthy boundaries with relatives and within your own romantic relation.
It’s just those…good vibrations.
…and I don’t mean you’re cell phone vibrating constantly updating your inbox. Empty old messages everywhere you can think of…you’re text message log, voicemails, email accounts, etc. Letting messages accumulate can make it difficult to get your wants and needs across. Erasing old messages will keep the means of communication clear, thus inducing clear communication between you & your spouse, minimizing misunderstandings in dialogue and feelings of being unappreciated.
Accessorize candlesticks, lamps, picture frames, etc. in pairs anywhere in the home, especially the bedroom, to amplify that two-of-a-kind energy you’re going for. Always keep in mind that being selective with colors,photographs, and other subtle details add to the aura of keeping it a sacred place for two.
Every other room and detail in the house can create a more relaxing home for your relationship to stay happy & healthy…
The Living Room
Think…Inviting. Position the sofa back up against the wall to face the main entry to enhance feelings of security. Create symmetrical arrangements between pairs of seats and sofas to invite connection and positive energy.
The Bathroom
This is the “self-care” room in the house. Splurge on a new shower curtain, towels, and bath mats: the more sparkling clean it is, the more you will find time for the things and people that bring you the most joy…including the holder of your heart, your spouse.
The Kitchen
…The health & wellness sector. Clear out cabinets, cupboards, the pantry, refrigerator & freezers. Purging and detoxing your kitchen will purge unwanted, stagnant energy out of you, creating an overall sense of well-being for you and your loved one.
Feng Shui for Two…and YOU.
All of these Feng Shui tips are designed to bring renewed energy to the areas of your life that will positively impact your romance, as well as many other relationships including the most important one…the one you have with yourself.

Now that you both have moved into your own space, it’s time to clear out the clutter and make way for a brand new season of growth, while keeping the warmth and love alive. Your first home together, whether it be an apartment, condo, or house…should support your marriage energetically.
A Balanced Bedroom for Two…Feng Shui for Love
Lets start with your master bedroom, which is the most important room in the house designed to keep the energies aligned rightfully for your relationship.You do spend every night together in the same bed…so it’s no wonder the bedroom carries the most energy towards your love life.
The bed itself plays an important role…so think of how you want it to look and what you wish for it to portray. First & foremost, invest in new bedding when moving into your first home together with your significant other. This includes a whole new bed, comforter, sheets, pillows, etc. The energies of other people who’ve slept in your old bed still lingers there…can we say “relationship residue”?!? …and from a feng shui point of view, you wouldn’t want any ghosts haunting you both in your sleep, now would you?
The back of the bed should be set up against a solid wall, not a window, to face the door. Circular or oval styled mattresses are best for promoting romantic chi. If you choose not to purchase a mattress with this soft-edged shape, you can do the same for pillow and chairs instead. Stick to color tones of brown, pink, & peach for a touch of softness. For a little extra spice, add some fiery reds into the mix if you wish.
What goes onon top of the bed is privately & intimately your business…but what about under the bed? If you’d like a happier, healthier love life, get down on the floor & take a look underneath. Clearing this space out beneath your bed will be just the ticket you need to maintaining and/or improving romance. Relocate any items you use regularly, then discard or donate the rest. By keeping the space beneath your bed totally clear, you’ll resolve any deceptions, hidden resentments and childhood traumas that have affected your romantic relationships.
Now, what about next to the bed? This is where you will most likely find nightstands and tables with lamps placed on top. If you do have these types of pieces, make sure they are equality placed on both sides of the bed by using the same furniture and decorated accents on its’ surface. Equality equals balance! And the more soft the lighting, the sexier your space will be.
KEEP OUT!
The only photos that should make their appearance into the bedroom are snapshots of you & your spouse, only! Like the “Keep Out” sign swinging on the door-knob, apply the same rule for family/friend photos to “keep out” the negative energy & experiences of others from affecting your relationship and/or marriage. This is about the two of you…and your relationship together…nobody else included. Unwelcomed, uninvited, third-wheel and butt-ing in your relationship business? Keep those energies away, please!
