Personalized Gifting thru Astrology + Human Design

I thought this would be a fun one around the holiday season though any time is a good time to give a thoughtful gift especially if it’s your love language… or theirs. If you just know their Sun sign you can absolutely stick to that but if you have access to their charts you can explore other placements like their Moon Sign (what they deeply need) + Venus Sign (what they desire) as well as even their Rising/Ascendant Sign (especially when it comes to gifts associated with the physical body as both the Moon and our Rising are associated). Another great space of inspiration for gifts might be their Human Design Environment (+ helping them align their work space or Feng Shui)if you know it. No matter which one you go with, you are sure to up-level your gift giving game by tailoring it uniquely to them. And, you might find you get them something they didn’t even know they always needed.

Please remember we are more than the sum of our parts and there may be many reasons in a chart or bodygraph why someone would feel called to specific gifts so see what sticks out at you. If it feels aligned, it probably is.

I hope you enjoyed this guide. Again, there are many reasons why you might find resonance with tools in another category, if you do, listen. And, there are many tools I shared like frequency, restorative practices, getting to know your own unique blueprint, nervous system calibration, etc… which I could tie into every single placement differently but these are some ways to get inspired and pull some threads unique to the people in your life.

May it inspire + support you!
