Astrology Stitch Poster // Libra

Libra
September 23 - October 22

Element: Air
Ruling Planet: Venus - goddess of love and beauty
Written Symbol: the scale
Lucky Day: Friday
Lucky Numbers: 6 and 9
Birthstone: Opal - brings financial success, frees its wearer from jealousy and greed, and imparts clear insight
Color: Blue and Lavender

"Born under the sign of the Scales, you strive for balance and harmony and are happiest when your environment is ordered and serene. Peace is worth any price to you and usually you will go a long way out of your way to avoid friction and dissension. Because you see clearly every side of an argument, every possibility of a given course, you have the tact and ability to smooth over disputes. You are a born diplomat. In order to avoid an unpleasant scene, you will even stifle your own true feelings. In fact, far too often you are not sure what your feelings are. Because you try to be all things to all people, there is a general impression that you are indecisive. You appear to be constantly poised on an edge, seemingly unable to move one way or the another, balancing pro with con, advantage with disadvantage, risk with gain. Underneath your genial, calm surface, you have to struggle in order to make decisions."

Astrology Stitch Poster // Virgo

Virgo, have you been waiting patiently for your Astrology Stitch Poster? Well today you're in luck. This month we're focusing on you!

Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Element: Earth
Ruling Planet: Mercury - ancient god of communication and commerce.
Written Symbol: The Virgin - purity of motive, modesty, industriousness, and service of oneself and one's talents towards helping others.
Lucky Day: Wednesday
Lucky Numbers: 5 and 3
Birthstone: Sapphire - tranquility of mind. Protects against illness and injury while traveling.
Color: Navy blue and grey

"Your emotional life is a constant striving to bring order out of chaos. Although you have a great capacity for love, love alone is not enough for you to be happy. You need more than a mate, home, children, and friends. You must justify your life, conducting yourself as a good bookkeeper - always ready to give a reckoning on whether there's a profit or a loss. You're ambitious, but not just for money. You want to know more, to gain wisdom, and put this wisdom to practical use.

Intelligence is the hallmark of your sign. You have an excellent memory, an analytical mind, and are known for crystal-clear thinking. You also have a keen ability to probe into human motivations. People like to check their plans with you before putting them into action because you have a microscopic vision when it comes to detecting a flaw. Your superb logic cuts through muddled thinking like a laser beam. You instantly zero in on a problem, take apart difficulties, and put them back together in proper order."

Astrology Stitch Poster: Leo

Have any strong Leo's in your life? We do and their friendship and kind spirit makes them some of our favorite people to be around. Learn a bit more about this astrological sign and make a rad piece of art for your (or a friends) wall.

Leo
July 23 - August 22
Element: Fire
Ruling Planet: The Sun - the most powerful planetary influence, bestowing vitality and authority.
Written Symbol: Two incomplete circles of the Sun joined by a crescent moon.
Lucky Day: Sunday
Lucky Numbers: 8 and 9
Birthstone: Ruby - protects against physical injury and ensures faithfulness.
Color: Gold and orange.

"Generous, kind, and openhearted, you find it hard to believe ill of others. If injured, you strike back quickly, but you also forgive easily and never hold a grudge. Marvelously affectionate and cheerful, you have genuine joie de vivre. The sun is your ruler and you always bring sunshine into the lives of others. Obviously, this is one of your most endearing traits. In many ways you are like the Sun itself - life-enhancing, radiating energy and magnetism, burning with steady fixity. Astrologers call Leos eternal children, for you take pleasures from the moment and are uninhibited in giving affection.

No one could ask for a better friend. If approached in the right way, you will do almost anything, but you expect praise and appreciation and admiration in return. Pride is your Achilles' heel. Your ego demands not respect but adoration, not compliments but flattery, and when you receive lavish praise you never stop to wonder if it is insincere. Despite your self-centeredness, you need others to give to if only to get back their appreciation. However, because you're too proud to ask for appreciation, you often suffer silently from a wounded ego. Your hidden secret is you need to be needed.

Astrology Stitch Poster: Cancer

We're celebrating the weekend and getting our Cancer Astrology Stitch Posters out a couple days before the start of this complex sign. Happy Friday!

Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Element: Water
Ruling Planet: The moon - governs emotions and intuitive behavior
Written Symbol: The glyph is two circles of the Sun connected to two crescent moons
Lucky Day: Monday
Lucky Numbers: 3 and 7
Birthstone: Pearl - changes bad fortune into good and discord into harmony
Color: Sea green and silver

"Complex, fragile, unpredictable, temperamental, the typical Cancer needs constant support and encouragement. You want desperately to be loved and approved of but resent needing approval so badly. Cancer's big lesson is to recognize the hidden anger you carry within you and not allow this to corrode the relationships that give you the emotional support you seek. Happily, when you get what you need, you give the best you have in return. Those who make you feel secure command your underlying loyalty. When you really care for someone there is nothing anyone can say about that person that will make the least bit of difference. You have a real blind spot when it comes to seeing a failing in those you love."

Astrology Stitch Poster: Gemini

Gemini you're up! Your independent, clever, impulsive, energetic, and witty character makes you one of our favorite astrological signs. Learn more about Gemini and download the Astrology Stitch Poster below.

Gemini
May 21 - June 20

Element: Air
Ruling Planet: Mercury, which rules communication and travel
Written Symbol: The Twins
Lucky Day: Wednesday
Lucky Numbers: 5 and 9
Birthstone: Agate - protects from deception, falsehood, and bestows eloquence
Color: Yellow

"Gemini people do not sit back and watch the scenery go by. As a Gemini, are you endlessly curious about everything and must be part of it all.

Duality is your most famous trait. You usually want more than one of everything. That includes jobs, hobbies, careers, and lovers. Basically your nature is restless, on the go, in quest of new ideas, and fresh experiences. Things get very dull for you unless you have a constant change of scenery. Variety is your game. As a result, you often leave a trail of unfinished tasks. Your tendency is to fritter away energy on too many projects instead of concentrating your cleverness on one task."

Astrology Stitch Poster: Taurus

Taurus, we're giving it to you this month. Represent your astrological sign and be proud!

Taurus
April 21 - May 20

Element: Earth
Ruling Planet: Venus. Venus is the Roman goddess of beauty, the arts, pleasure, and emotions.
Written Symbol: The Bull
Lucky Day: Friday
Lucky Numbers: 4 and 6
Birthstone: Emerald - protects against infidelity and deceit, ensures loyalty, and improves memory.
Color: Pale blue and pale purple

"Everyone knows you have a temper, although you rarely show it. Generally you are equable and patient, and it is only when opposed that you become angry. However, there is volcanic activity going on underneath your easygoing, genial exterior. Like a bull quietly grazing in a pasture, you're not looking to challenge anyone, but it would be a fatal mistake for anyone to challenge you.

Others are fascinated by your rare blending of a down-to-earth person who is such a romantic, poetic sort. In Taurus, the stability of an earth sign combines with the influence of Venus to create a responsible, steadfast personality with a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of life. "

Written Symbol: The Ram

Birthstone: Diamond - attracts love financial success, and brings luck in new adventures
Color: Red

"As an Aries person, you gravitate towards the center of action. You are audacious and intent on getting your own way. Since your nature is to express power, you treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. You are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence. From an early age you feel you are headed for success.

Happily, you are also generous about helping others in a crisis. You are an open hearted friend who shares ideas and advice. You are not interested in the small or petty. "Go for the best" is your motto."

Astrology Stitch Poster: Pisces

Not sure what you prefer - black on white or white on black? Don't worry Pisces, we've got you covered for this month's astrology stitch poster. The readers with this sympathetic and spiritual sign get a special treat of two posters! Make one for yourself and the other for a Pisces pal. 

Pisces
February 19 - March 20

Element: Water
Ruling Planet: Neptune. Neptune is the planet of illusion, glamour, mystery, and deception.
Written Symbol: Two fish tied to one another
Lucky Day: Friday
Lucky Numbers: 2 and 6

"Like natives of other water signs, you have the ability to see deeply into the human psyche. Subtle and intuitive, you are born with the gift of prophecy, and may even become involved in the occult, ESP, and spiritualism. Because you have a close relationship with astral forces, you feel things before you know them and your feelings are rarely wrong. If you get a hunch, others would be wise to pay attention."

"More than natives of any other sing, you are enormously influenced by your surroundings and by the  people who touch your life. Indeed, you have a unique ability to get under another person's skin, to take literally as your own another's problems, joys, and woes. You have tender sympathy for anyone or anything that hurts; sick plants, hungry animals, and friends in need - they all have a home with you."

Astrology Stitch Greeting Card: Aquarius

We're mixing it up a bit this month and instead of making an Astrology Stitch Poster for the Aquarius sign, we made a fun greeting card. Send them to a fellow Aquarius or just show off your zodiac sign pride. This fun project is a great excuse to send a friend or loved one a personal card. Make someone feel a little extra special with some snail mail!

Aquarius
January 20 - February 19
Element: Air
Ruling Planet: Uranus. Uranus is the planet of change, disruption, the unconventional, and the unexpected.
Written Symbol: The Water Bearer
Lucky Day: Wednesday
Lucky Numbers: 1 and 17
Birthstone: Amethyst, brings faithfulness in love and bestows the gift of prescience.
Color: Blue

"Your character is a system of paradoxes. You enjoy being with people but are content to be alone. You like to travel but love relaxing at home. You are friendly and outgoing but also detached and reserved. You have both a scientific and an artists turn of mind."

"You refuse to compromise or give an inch. You're a strange mix of an avant-garde thinker whose opinions are written in stone, You cheerfully ignore what others think and strike off on new paths, unbound by precedents, because there are so many more exciting things for you to discover that way. You think boredom is a communicable disease and take every opportunity to avoid it.

Astrology Stitch Poster: Capricorn

This month's Astrology Stitch Poster is dedicated to the strong and sensitive Capricorn. Hang it on the wall, place it on your desk, or gift it to a friend. Let's celebrate Capricorns!

Capricorn
December 22 - January 20

Element: Earth
Ruling Planet: Saturn. Saturn represents obstacles, limitations, restrictions, discipline, and responsibility.
Written Symbol: The Goat
Lucky Day: Saturday
Lucky Numbers: 2 and 8
Birthstone: Garnet. Attracts popularity, high esteem, and true love.
Color: Dark Green and Brown

"Your remoteness of spirit is often misunderstood by others; it has been described as cold passion. But you are not cold as much as self-sufficient. Because you need to organize and control your surroundings, on occasion you take strong hand in other people's lives. To you, it's not meddling but handling things better. Beneath your reserve there is a sensitive and sympathetic person, and anyone who needs a strong shoulder to lean on needn't look further than Capricorn.

Certainly you do not deserve your reputation for being somber and gloomy. One of your more striking characteristics is a sense of humor. Your wit may be dry, incisive, but it is extremely funny and has a way of erupting when others least expect it."

Astrology Stitch Poster: Sagittarius

We had such a blast making last month's Scorpio astrological stitch poster and got a lot of positive feedback from ya'll, we decided to make it into a new series! Once a month for the next 12 months, we'll be putting up a poster for you to download and stitch along with some general facts about each astrological sign. Learn more about your sign and the 11 others with us! We geek out hard on all things astrology, so it's a total no-brainer that we want to share it with you. Today we're highlighting the ninth astrological sign Sagittarius.


Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22

Element: Fire
Ruling Planet: Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, optimism, expansion, and abundance.
Written Symbol: The Archer. Symbolizes wisdom angled away from trouble and earthly concerns and pointing towards higher ideals.
Lucky Day: Thursday
Lucky Numbers: 5 and 7
Birthstone: Turquoise. Attracts love, protects from harm, and gives its wearer the ability to see into the future.
Color: Purple

"Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy, higher learning, and broad concepts. It's natives are happiest discovering new ideas, exploring distant places, and not getting tied down with personal commitments. Sagittarius is energetic, ambitious, generous, freedom-loving, and a seeker of challenges, open to new ideas and exploration. You're motto is Tomorrow is another day. Even in your darkest moods, you believe there's a light shining around the corner. Your confidence in the future is genuine, but you hate everything interfering with your plans. You have a hunger to experience life at it's fullest - to travel, meet interesting people, and see things you've never seen before. Anything new sparks your interest. In fact, you'll usually say yes to a suggestion without weighing its merits simply because it lifts your spirits. And while you're not exactly a moody person, you are high-strung and can become irritable when you start to get bored."
