How Your Zodiac Sign Defines Your Personal Work From Home Space Style
We are now arriving in the 10th month of the year and working from home is still alive and well for most of us. By now, we have been trying to find a way to balance being productive with our 20 Zoom meetings and finding peace of mind at the same time. While making sure we look good for ourselves when we do have a chance to leave the house, it is important to make sure our space at home keeps us sane at all times. But what does that look like? It can't be one-size-fits-all. Yes, we can all agree that we all like what we like, but have we considered that maybe our sun sign has something to do with it?
Keep reading to find some great inspirations on how to decorate your work from home space, just for you, based on your zodiac!
Your Dream Home Office Space, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Virgo
As a Virgo, you are smart, kind, and an amazing friend who gives great advice. When it comes to work, you are always striving to be your best. You value setting up your home as an extension of yourself. You like a uniform and organized type of style. A clean, organized space also helps with destressing. So, a nice bookshelf or space where everything is in its place is a nice addition to your home decor.
Libra
As an air sign, Libras are notorious for trying to find that balance. You are very harmonious where you care about working with others and contributing to the big picture in your head. Because you like balance, you enjoy a classic look with a twist. Think, a classic pattern with a pop of color in your work from home space can really set the vibe for you.
Scorpio
Filled with passion and driven by our emotions, is how we can describe a Scorpio. You are very independent and not afraid to express when you need your privacy at times. You value style where color makes a statement. Style a nice desk, just for you, to shut off the world while reminding you of the beauty in palettes and art to start a productive day.
Sagittarius
The free-spirited Sagittarius. You are truly a wanderer. You are really good at going after what you want and trying new things. It is best to feel that when you are home, that it is yours and no one else's. You can make that happen with handpicked art pieces that speak to you and creating a space that you do not need approval to create.
Capricorn
Capricorns are intelligent and detail-oriented. You are naturally born hard workers and are prone to tradition. You value order in your life and understand the importance of presentation. Create a nice cozy space at home that is appealing to the eye with intentionally-placed aesthetics, where you can find yourself most happy.
Aquarius
Aquarians are considered the rebels of the zodiac. You like to experiment and be unique in your own way. Although you like to be an individual, you enjoy being social and work towards how to contribute your gifts to help others. When it comes to setting a tone at home, you are not afraid to try bold colors and prints. As an Aquarius, you want to be able to send the message of exactly who you are.
Pisces
Pisces are great creatives who have active imaginations. You feel things deeply and have a great way of connecting with others emotionally. Pisces are daydreamers and you value time where you can be present in your creative process. Cater to the daydreamer in you by carving out a subtle space in your home where you can self-reflect and connect with your many ideas. It is something a Pisces like you would really appreciate.
Aries
Starting the entire zodiac off, we have the assertive and energetic Aries. You are known for your fiery confident nature and once you set your mind to something, it will be achieved. You are able to separate your professional goals from your personal goals. Which makes you value a good transition from work to play. When thinking of a nice work from home space for you, you admire understated pieces, an accessory that stands out from the rest but still flows with the rest of the room.
Taurus
My fellow Tauruses. You are loyal, trustworthy, and always the grounded ones among your friend group. You are the anchor of the zodiac. Being grounded means you are in touch with the elements of nature and can tap into your sensuality very easily. You value a space that is out of the norm that stimulates your senses in a positive way. Whether it is a touch of different fabrics, the smell of aromatherapy candles, or the sight of nature, you are able to stay at peace while getting your work done.
Gemini
Geminis, being ruled by Twins, has allowed them to be very emotionally intelligent. You are able to take risks and switch it up when need be. Because you are in tune with your emotions, you are very creative and value mental stimulation. You love spaces that can be a great distraction from your work to help with your productivity. Allow a nice piece of art to take you on a journey. Which is something great for both of your Gemini sides.
Cancer
With Cancers, you will find someone who is caring and looking out for others. You are not a huge fan of big crowds all the time and enjoy a cozy time at home alone or in an intimate small gathering. Because you are so caring, you like to be the nurturer––so much that a space where you can nurture yourself is where it's at. Setting up a space where you can wind down from a long day's work with a good book, a comfy blanket, and a glass of wine. Give yourself a space where you can nurture yourself after nurturing others. For you Cancers, this is where it's at.
Leo
Last but not least, the bold Leos. As natural leaders, you love social interactions and do not mind being center stage. This also explains why work and outward appearances matter to you. You enjoy a style change and making a statement wherever you go. So it should apply at home as well. Try out different patterns and having bold pieces in your space to help motivate you to continue being the best version of yourself.

Harlem Fashion Row's Fashion Show And Style Awards Was A Love Letter To The Culture
For over a decade, Harlem’s Fashion Row has served as a safe space for creatives of color to shine bright without fear of being dimmed. This week, HFR celebrated its 16th year of providing business solutions to retailers committed to equity for Black and Latin-X design talent. This beacon has served as a bridge between retailers and designers of color through collaborations, experiential marketing, pipeline programs, and brand strategy.
Set against the backdrop of the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, the night was nothing short of amazing as a Black hip-hop orchestra serenaded the crowd with legendary tunes from “Big Poppa” to “Moment 4 Life.” It was pure magic as the scene was set to begin the Style Awards.
Tim Weatherspoon surprised his wife, Kelly Rowland, with a heartfelt speech as he presented her with the Fashion Icon of the Year Award. “I couldn’t pass up this moment to tell you that you’ve always been my icon,” the talent manager said. He went on to share that he scoured social media to pull some compliments from the toughest of critics. Weatherspoon said, “My assumption is that these are good ‘Kelly eats the girls every time. Fire emoji, fire emoji, fire emoji.’’’
As the Destiny’s Child alum accepted her award, she proclaimed her love for “that Black man.” Rowland was full of joy and adoration as she accepted the award, reminiscing on the days when she was a little girl from Texas in a group of country girls where stylists were not jumping at the opportunity to dress them. “Tina took matters into her own hands, and she dressed us. We learned what it felt like to start a trend. I remember what it felt like — the pride in it. I also know that ‘we’ start the trends and ‘we’ make what’s cool, cool. Fashion should be grateful for us.”

Then, the incomparable styling duo, Wayman and Micah, took to the stage to receive the Stylist of The Year Award. These two best friends were honored for their creative styling on the likes of Regina King, Tessa Thompson, Taraji P. Henson, Jodie Turner, and so many more. The partners in style applauded HFR’s founder, Brandice Daniel, for creating a table for us. “The table is marble and custom,” Micah exclaimed.
The fashion heavy hitters were absolutely in the building. Gabriela Karefa-Johnson, a New York-based stylist and VOGUE Global Contributing Fashion Editor-at-Large renowned for her eye for emerging designers and her narrative-driven approach to diversifying representation in fashion, accepted the Editor of the Year Award.
Tamron Hall sang the praises of the Designer of the Year recipient, Stella Jean, for being a visionary who not only creates whimsical pieces but takes a stand for what she believes in. “During this pivotal moment, one designer made a courageous and impactful decision. Stella Jean, an Italian-Haitian fashion visionary, took a stand in a bold and powerful move. Stella Jean pledged to return to the runway only when she would no longer be the sole Black designer on the Milan schedule.”
Johnny Nunez, the culture’s #1 photographer, reminded us of the importance of perseverance in the face of rejection while accepting the Photographer of the Year award. Just before his speech, Valeisha Butterfield, Google's Vice President of Partnerships & Engagement, gave Nunez his flowers for always making her feel seen and appreciated, which gave her the determination to be herself and take up space.

A$AP Rocky lit up the historic Apollo stage with his undeniable charm and intrinsic style. Dressed in a cardigan, Louis Vuitton tie, and a voluminous kilt while his head was adorned with embellished hair clips, he was walking proof that he’s a fashion, music, and culture innovator just like the name of the award he was receiving, the Virgil Abloh Award. For this Harlem native, it was a full circle moment as Abloh helped the rapper with his start in the industry years ago when he helped design his first album cover.
Designers Megan Renee, Nicole Benefiled Portfolio, and A. Potts showcased their transformational designs, which varied in style, texture, and color. Megan Renee's designs were inspired by unapologetic femininity. Nicole Benefiled Portfolio's designs were more geometric and modern, with a focus on clean lines and bright colors. A. Potts' designs were eclectic and playful, with a focus on mixed patterns and bold colors. All three designers created unique and eye-catching pieces that turned heads.
The show concluded with a beautiful tribute to hip-hop by the legendary Doug E. Fresh. The entire show was a celebration of all that is good about fashion, and it was a reminder of why the culture continues to inspire and influence people all over the world. HFR’s New York Fashion Week kickoff was a love letter to the culture, and it was delivered with nothing but style, care, and love.
