Sign It!: How to Design by Your Sign

We?re all different because we were born to be different. All of us have our own hopes, and dreams and things we came into this life to accomplish. It is unlikely that a mere coincidence caused our arrival under the influences of our astrological birth sign. It foretells things to come; it is the lens that our view of the world is filtered through. From the tiny newborn to the most vulnerable seniors, the primary things we need are to feel welcomed into our space and then to have a place that nourishes and inspires us; a place that comforts us. What causes one person to love working in Manhattan with a corner office in a skyscraper while another burrows into a historic home on the Eastern seaboard? Is there a mystical reason that one is called to the ocean and thrives to the sounds of the waves of the sea crashing on the shore while another could not imagine life without the mountain views? What causes the development of all the new design styles that have seemingly sprung from nowhere? Once there was a Colonial style and then the Early American style that evolved from that style as a ?new and modern? Colonial style. Today we have 16 very definitive styles. Did something create the need for all of this or did designers simply feel the need to create something new to keep the public buying? What changed, and what does it all mean in your life? By the time most American children are in Kindergarten they know what astrological sign they were born under. This question has become a universal cliché. We meet friends or potential dating partners and somehow, in the first 15 minutes we know what their sign is. Birth signs have likely been of great interest since shortly after time began. In those days the skies ruled almost every activity. But what?s it really all about? For the past 50 years our society has been delving deeper and deeper into personality traits and even deeper into what it takes to create a well rounded, confident and happy society, an atmosphere where people can learn and grow in the best possible surroundings that encourage their own personal success. This is why hospitals have changed from the old infamous green walls to soft purples, shade of cream and pale blues. We have discovered that these are colors that promote healing. As these studies have progressed we learned that there are differences, and that different people respond to different stimuli to learn and grow and be all they can be. Only recently has the attention been turned to the design of the home and how it affects the occupants of the home. It is not so much that the interaction of the people who live in a home has changed; it is more that we have begun to learn that the people who live together in the home may have unnecessary conflicts because the environment is not well suited to the family who lives there. Now we know how to change that. You may have noticed that some houses you have lived in seemed to be full of conflict and hard times, while others seemed to provide a breathing space for you where you could relax and enjoy the experience. Is there a bigger reason for these emotions? Indeed there is! Some people are far more sensitive to their surroundings than others. Why? Because it is a trait of their personality to be so. And those traits are traced directly back to their arrival into this life and when it occurred. No two people are exactly the same; we all arrive under moving ascendants, rising signs and many other things that make a big difference when we fully examine the astrological chart of a person. However, knowing the astrological birth sign of the important people in your life will help you to create a home or a special room where each person in your home feels nurtured and is provided the best possible opportunity to find balance and harmony. ?Sign It? is a glimpse into the colors, furnishings and atmosphere that nurture, inspire and comfort each individual sign, allowing you to be the brightest star in your home!
