In this article by our astrologer Ornella Petit, discover what your zodiac sign says about you… and your hair!
Each zodiac sign carries its own energy and unique characteristics. We all embody them to varying degrees, depending on the moment of our birth. The position of the Sun at the time of our birth, revealing our astrological sign, provides valuable insights into our vital essence, the lifeblood flowing through our veins and into the roots of our hair…
Aries is instinctive, always seeking thrills. Active and determined, Aries likes things to move quickly, as boredom is hard to bear. They often experience headaches when something upsets them. In the bathroom: no time for elaborate blowouts or ultra-sophisticated hairstyles. A quick brush and voilà, their vigorous and thick hair is tied back into a simple ponytail! The day can begin!
The sign of Taurus symbolizes fertility. Represented by Venus, it is the cradle of life. Think of Venus emerging from her scallop shell, with long, natural, coppery hair covering her modesty. Taurus is slow but steady; what they build stands the test of time. Taurus women tend to let their hair grow long. Trimming the ends is necessary not to enhance growth, but to improve the hair’s appearance. Free of split ends, it looks healthier.
Gemini is full of curiosity, with a playful and cerebral temperament. Life offers a whirlwind of experiences, prompting endless questions. Geminis often twirl their hair or run their fingers through it. Their hairstyles are typically short, dynamic, and often include mischievous bangs. They can’t resist experimenting with bold hair colors because playing with their look is part of trying everything life has to offer!
Cancer represents the child: sensitive, tender, and brimming with imagination. Known as a gentle dreamer with a nostalgic streak, Cancer loves creating memories and cherishing them. Protective yet needing protection, Cancer exudes cherubic charm with fine, shining blond curls straight out of paradise. Pigtails, braids, ribbons, or barrettes—everything becomes a playful way to style their hair, as if it were a doll’s!
Leo is passionate, charismatic, and ambitious. Known for their love of beauty and luxury, they work hard to fulfill their ambitions. With a voluminous, flexible, and radiant mane, Leo is a striking presence. Though they exude confidence, they work at it like everyone else. Their image matters, as does the state of their hair. They don’t hesitate to invest in quality haircare products, whether in salons or at home. Beauty equals credibility in Leo’s world, so no expense is spared.
Virgo values order, cleanliness, and precision in all aspects of life. Hardworking, helpful, and devoted, they are always attentive to others. Despite their many talents, they often lack self-confidence and undervalue themselves. To combat their anxiety about not being "good enough," they maintain a flawless appearance: crisp outfits and perfectly styled hair, from sleek straight looks to chic French twists. Virgo's hair is to them what a formal French garden is to nature!
Libra embodies elegance and grace. Sophisticated and harmonious, Libra is measured, understanding, and cultured, intolerant of conflict or injustice. For Libra, being well-groomed is not just personal—it’s almost polite, ensuring a pleasant appearance for themselves and those they meet. Soft curls created with rollers, romantic updos, fishtail braids, or twisted hairstyles are often complemented by accessories like pearl barrettes or golden hairpins to enhance their look.
Scorpio is the bridge of the zodiac. Intuitive, intense, and magnetic, they observe and absorb everything, often mistaken for mysterious due to their silence. In truth, Scorpio processes the information to stay ahead. Resilient yet prone to dark phases, this can reflect in their hair choices: long to obscure their face, raven black, deep violet, or intense red. Their hair becomes a medium for expressing what they cannot say aloud.
Sagittarius is sociable, optimistic, and adventurous, with a love for exploration and foreign cultures. Natural beauty defines Sagittarius, as their travels often lead them into rustic settings (staying with locals, in hostels, or camping). Their hair dries in the wind, revealing natural textures: wavy, textured, or curly, with rich, dark tones and generous volume that mirrors their abundant personality.
Capricorn is known for authenticity, a strong moral compass, and unyielding perseverance. They feel a deep sense of responsibility and honor their commitments. Their tones are typically cool: ash blondes, icy brunettes, or frosty chestnuts. Focused on goals, they favor a minimalist haircare routine. Capricorns appreciate simplicity: shampoo, a comb, and a hairbrush are staples in their kit, with a hairdryer and round brush reserved for formal occasions.
Aquarius stands out as resourceful, visionary, and ever-unique. Their hair becomes a canvas for their creativity. Asymmetrical cuts, angled bobs, pixie styles, and daring colors—blue, green, pink, red, or violet—help Aquarius express their individuality. Oil treatments could restore their hair’s health after frequent dyeing, but Aquarius dislikes restrictions. Let them manage their hair on their own terms, as whimsy dictates!
Pisces is the romantic dreamer of the zodiac. Idealistic, generous, and highly sensitive, they are known for their selflessness and poetic outlook on life. Pisces lives with inspiration and infuses their existence with creativity. Their hair reflects this spirit: fine strands that dance with the wind, wild and unruly. Shades of gold, auburn, or volcanic black are often adorned with flower crowns or tiaras, embodying the wonder and whimsy of their fairy-like essence.
Astronomically Yours,
