Astrology Collection Guide
Pieces from the Astrology Collection are uniquely created with no two items being identical.
Many of us know our sun sign - it's the zodiac that coordinates to the month and day we were born. However, if you're like me, you may not really know much more than this. It was only after getting a natal star chart reading just for fun and knitting my Astrologishawl that I read about my zodiac in more detail. Since then I've read up on other signs on Co-Star and developed color suggestions seen in the chart below based on a combination of the sign's corresponding element (earth, water, fire, air), ruling planet or astrological body, and common attributes. When ordering something from the Astrology Collection, you can choose for your signs to be represented in a single color or a pair of colors.
Astrology Collection items are made from a combination of a person's sun, moon, and rising (also called "ascending") signs. Both Co-Star and Cafe Astrology will give you free natal charts to find your sun, moon, and rising signs. There are apparently multiple ways of reading a star chart such that you might get different combination of signs depending on where you source your chart. Look at all options and decide what sounds best to you!
Whether you're a skeptic or an avid follower of the stars, I invite you to explore the descriptions below and play with the possibilities.
