Ruled by the moon, Cancerians are known for being emotional, nurturing, and highly intuitive. Cancer doesn't like change and prefers stability and routine. Mild- mannered by nature, those born under this sign can, however, turn on a dime to become moody, overly emotional, and touchy.
The sun rules this fire sign, known for its vivacious, theatrical, and passionate personality traits. Warmhearted, glamorous, and bold, the Leo loves to lead but can sometimes come across as over-dominant.
An earth sign known for nurturing perfectionists, Mercury-ruled Virgos are logical, practical, and systematic in their approach to life. They tend to keep both feet on the ground but when stressed seek out the peace and serenity only Mother Nature can provide.
Libra is an air sign ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money. Fixated on balance and harmony, the typical Libra wants to make the right decisions and always strives for the best return on their investments, both emotional and monetary.
Determined, smart, and stoic, Scorpios' personality is beguilingly secretive, governed as it is by the planet Pluto. An air of mystery surrounds this water sign, with Scorpio's famously strong and complicated character traits making it one of the most intense signs of the zodiac.
Mighty Jupiter is Sagittarius' ruling planet, and those born under this fire sign are known for embodying an extravagant lifestyle but one that is balanced by loyalty, sophistication, and unerring judgment.
Ambitious, hardworking, and enterprising, Capricorns are considered one of the most emotionally stable of zodiac signs. As an earth sign ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is solid, disciplined, and with a no-frills nature. Getting ahead in life and living well are important goals in a Capricorn's life.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and Saturn. An air sign, Aquarians are often accused of having their heads in the clouds. Being co-ruled by two planets means that they possess a unique blend of independence, eccentricity, and intellectualism, traits often tempered by a detached emotional nature and an easily-bored personality.
Emotionally sensitive and empathic, Pisces people are generally charming, romantic, and considerate but can come across as sometimes dreamy and distant. But it's this mystical quality that endears those born under this water sign—incidentally ruled by Jupiter and Neptune—to many, as their mild-mannered nature is instantly agreeable and appealing.
Aries are spontaneous and courageous. They are also passionate, motivated, and confident. They're often driven, focused leaders who are ruled by Mars. A fire sign, the color red is associated with Aries indicating fire, but also strength and energy.
An earth sign, Taurus is ruled by Venus. Very often stubborn and, unsurprisingly, bull-headed, Taureans can also be tenacious, reliable, and loyal. And like their celestial spirit animal, they enjoy relaxing in serene, bucolic environments.
Intelligent, perceptive, and analytical, Geminis are inspirational cheerleaders. In their book, everybody should have fun! The twin sign is ruled by Mercury and those born under Gemini are known to have dual personalities: indeed, Gemini is constantly juggling a variety of passions, hobbies, careers, and friend groups.
Cancerians are drawn to familiar fragrances and tend to scorn intense, experimental notes. An easy-to-recognize perfume composed of pleasant and delicate florals— jasmine, melon, violet, lily of the valley, rose, and magnolia, for example—appeals to their sense of familiarity.
There's nothing subtle about Leo, so soft floral fragrances rarely take center stage on this drama-adoring sign. Instead, bold oriental perfumes and gourmet scents tend to steal the limelight, those with intense notes of chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and spices, all with citrusy flourishes.
Lightweight scents composed of subtle florals and mossy green fragrances are ideal for this sign's graceful and elegant personality.
The beauty-loving romantic Libran is naturally attracted to fragrances that are timeless—rosy scents with woody, citrusy, and earthy harmonious blends.
To match their multi-layered personality, Scorpios are drawn to heady scents that satisfy their sense of power and passion. Fragrances with dark and complex woody notes like sandalwood and cedar infused with luminous flourishes of citrus and sweet amber are the desired perfumes for this sign.
Perfumes that complement the carefree, flamboyant, and upbeat personality of the typical Sagittarius are those with fresh citrusy bouquets, or fruity notes of apple and grapefruit, and the more zesty the better.
Scents with warm and solid notes infused with spicy and musky flavors appeal to Capricorn's materialistic, down-to-earth personality, a world away from your typical watery or sweet rose scents.
Aquarians benefit from occasionally being brought back down to earth, and dark, smoky, and spicy scents with intense woody or amber notes serve as the perfect fragrances to keep them grounded, at least for a while.
Aquatic scents that conjure up images of deep blue oceans, golden beaches, and salt-laced breezes are what Pisceans appreciate.

Perfumes to complement this confident and independent fire sign are warm, woody, and amber fragrances, with dashes of fruity citrus notes.
Given their preference for all things pastoral, ideal perfumes for those born under Taurus are rich leafy green fragrances with undertones of sandalwood, cedarwood, and amber.
As befitting their personality trait, Geminis are never happy with one particular signature scent. Instead they love to experiment. Generally speaking, perfumes with floral and woody hints work well—those with subtle notes of vanilla, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood, musk, and oak.
