Now that the New Year has begun one of your resolutions may be to give your home or a space a new look for the New Year. If you're open minded and have ever struggled with finding the right “feel” for your home, or a space in your home consider your sun sign as a starting point. A design concept structured around your astrological signs, yes signs, may be the answer. The zodiac can play a much bigger role in your life than just generic advice in the newspaper. By studying your sun sign, and the accompanying rising sign you are born under, you can open up to a whole world of design ideas tailored to you.
What is my rising sign?
We all have two signs, your sun sign and your rising ascending sign. To learn your rising sign, you must know the exact time of your birth and the location, no guessing or approximating. Check your original birth certificate, or birth announcements to see if you can find this information. Once you know this information, there are many sites online that can easily calculate your rising sign. These two signs are actually key components to who you are. This is why many times simple predictions and descriptions you've read about your sign may not have rung true, you're really only getting a fraction of your true profile. With that being said, I'd encourage those with broad minds to look up their ascending signs to help fill in the gaps. By knowing your ascendant sign, you can study both, and merge the special properties of each one into your design scheme. For instance, a Gemini with a Leo rising would no doubt naturally enjoy sun rooms because of all the windows that allow for the air Gemini craves, and if painted a warm and vibrant shade of orange or gold to keep their Leo side grounded and happy.

Earth signs like Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn may enjoy and thrive with designs that are practical and multipurpose.
