Perhaps you have heard about eating certain foods for your particular blood type or maybe wearing makeup based on what "season" you are. How about designing your living space according to your zodiac sign?

Certain colors and elements may actually impact your mood and overall being. I don’t know about you, but in today’s world, I need all the empowerment and zen I can get.

Luckily for us, I recently had the chance to speak with an authority on astrology, Kelley Rosano. She has studied astrology for over 40 years and is currently the most watched astrologer on YouTube. Kelley shared a few guidelines to keep in mind when designing for your sign.

Leo birthdays start at the end of July and wrap up August 22, which means we are officially within the season of Leo. ROAR!

According to Kelley (a Leo herself), Leo’s temperament can be very fiery. Their symbol is the lion and they are known as a fire sign. Leos ruling planet is the sun. The sun is the center of universe, that’s why Leos love to be the center of attention and the center of the party.

Kelley continues to explain: "Leos like to do things large. Leos are born to have an abundant life, while creating a space that reflects their personality; they are the royalty of the zodiac."

  • Leos desire a luxurious and spiritual life. Success must be reflected by the way they live. Jennifer Lopez, who was born on July 24, 1969 and is a Leo gravitates towards all these design tenets. We love the gorgeous pool area, and the integration of the orange pops of color in her courtyard. Other notable Leos are Barack Obama, born on August 4, 1961, and Madonna, born on August 16, 1958.
