Mounting deaths and destruction paint a horrific landscape
When it comes to holiday decorations, there's no accounting for taste. Some people prefer to cover their homes in gaudy lights, while others prefer minimal candles and a tree. As with anything, of course, we are all entitled to our opinions. In fact, astrologists will tell you that the way we like things during the holidays is very much out of our control.
So as we head into the holiday season, check out how best to decorate your home, according to your star sign.
Cancer is the home bird of the zodiac, and will normally be found filling their home with festive aromas rather than worrying too much about decorations.
The first of the air signs, Tauruses are all about material pleasures. They lean into all the five senses, including the often forgotten, but all-important, smell.
Arguably the most practical of the signs, Virgo is the opposite of over the top. They are the opposite of Leo in that sense; any decorations will simply be the festive equivalent of the normal item.
Libras are all about balance; they'll never go for anything over the top. Hanging tasteful holiday art is a go-to for this symmetry-loving sign.
Sags' favorite thing about the holidays is normally the festive atmosphere, the food, drink, and laughter. Lots of their celebrations center around the kitchen.
Scorpios love a bit of depth to their decorative decisions. And what could be more symbolic of the holidays than chocolate?
The best mantra to describe Leo's attitude to holiday decoration would be "go big and go home." This is the sign that does the full-blown light display and three inflatable snowmen.
Of all the signs, Pisces loves the holidays the most. People born under this sign normally have their shopping done in August and holiday music blasting in October.
Winter is the season of the Capricorn, and it's a great time for this busy sign to slow down and take stock of the year. Decorations should be understated.
Making their home look festive is not necessarily top of Gemini's list. For this sociable sign, it's more about making guests feel as welcome as possible.
For our Aquarius friends, the holidays are all about giving. They are just like their Gemini cousins in that way. Decorations will always have an outward focus.
A fast-moving and ambitious sign, Aries tend to get a little ahead of themselves when it comes to holiday decorations. Take a step back, Aries, and choose one thing.
For a Taurus, it's not enough to have their home look like Christmas—it must smell like it, too. Enter: the festive fragrance diffuser.
That said, they love to harken back to holidays past. And what better way to do that than by displaying your favorite photos of years gone by?
Warm light is the way forward for this tasteful sign. Decorations should provide a gentle reminder that there is light at the end of the long winter.

From personalized stockings to funny holiday doormats, Aquarius is all about making guests feel welcome and having the best festive season possible.
Think swapping out your favorite mug for a Christmas-themed one. There is also a lot of space for the natural world in the holiday home of a Virgo; lean into that leafage!
They are also fans of gathering the family in front of a classic holiday movie. Even if no one's up for watching, there will normally be something playing in the background.
There will be no goofy snowmen to be found in a Libra's home. Instead, Christmas decorations will evoke a wintry scene, while providing perfect spacing.
Colorful candles are a great addition to anyone's home, but in particular an Aries'. They will add a pop of excitement while allowing Aries to lean into their fiery nature.
Leos should harness their competitive side during the holidays and make their house the best on the block. A gaudy Christmas sweater won't hurt either!
In the run-up to the holidays, Gemini will often be found stocking up on board games and joke ornaments. Celebrations are all about bringing people together.
For that reason, a tabletop display is a great option for the Sagittarius home. Couple this with some upbeat holiday tunes, and the vibe will be perfect.
The caring water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) adore the holidays. They love to create a warm and welcoming environment, both for themselves and loved ones.
Often associated with passion and decadence, chocolate treats are a must-have in the holiday home of a Scorpio. It may even be the main theme.
