With glowing constellation art to zodiac-inspired color schemes, you’ll find dozens of ways to have your space feel really out of this world.

Astrology Decor: Hearts and Minds Taken Captive

I think astrology decor has soared in popularity because it provides what so many of us crave — a quick and easy way to make our living spaces feel personally significant and redolent of ancient wisdom. So, actually making these adornments will help you to not just follow trends but further and better your relationship with the cosmic forces that have been of interest to our species for millennia.

Another reason to go the DIY route with your astrology projects is that it gives you more control over colors, materials, and designs — no astrology eyeshadow palette available on the market now can come close to what I envisioned for myself. Design decorations that embody your own personal style and energy, customized to the unique characteristics of your zodiac sign—you create decorations that specifically make you happy on this day surrounded by your loved ones.

Hand-Painted Constellation Maps

They used a black canvas and painted the white or metallic zodiac constellation over top. Studies indicate that people are more likely to bond with a work of art if they felt they had been in on its creation, so it helps that the paintings are effective.

2. Trace the design onto the black canvas — either over a lightbox if you have one, or near a bright window
3. Dot the sky with ‘stars’ in white or gold paint
4. Take a fine brush and use that if you want to connect the stars with thin lines
5. Use paint to make it metallic and add your zodiac symbol in the corner
6. Finally, add a few dots of glow-in-the-dark paint for nighttime magic

Creating Your Personal Cosmic Sanctuary

The best part of DIY astrology decor is turning a room into something that feels like home for anyone. Every handmade item is imbued with your energy and intention, turning your home into a powerful retreat for contemplation, artistic expression and spiritual growth.

Start with the one or two you are most excited about and slowly build your collection from there over time. The process of making these decorations is as important as the end products, remind yourself. Each time you are crafting it links you more to the ancient practices of staring unto the stars, seeking guidance and inspiration.

Your astrological abode serves as a daily reminder of where you stand in the world, privileged to be part of such a huge and wonderful universe. When you are painting the star wandering paths across a canvas, or setting up your collection of crystals, or even sewing together celestial symbols, it is one of the most ancient arts of humankind—the viewing and reflection on the grandeur we see above us.
