Baby’s Breath Symbolizes This Sign’s Refined Taste

Who better to rule the zodiac during the year’s fortuitous season of new beginnings than Capricorns? Governing the calendar from December 22 through January 19, this goal-oriented sign embodies the spirit of new year’s resolutions. Capricorns, a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, are one of the zodiac’s more serious personalities, known for their nose-to-the-grindstone work ethics.

“Many people mistake this trait as Capricorns being too proud to compromise. The truth is, patience is a virtue, and this sign knows better than anyone that putting in the effort pays off,” says Sanctuary astrologer Lauren Ash. “One thing is for sure: This cunning and determined sign can accomplish just about anything they set their minds to.” Come February, Capricorns will have already ticked several resolutions off their lists, challenging the rest of the zodiac to keep up (ahem, Cancers!).

Confident Capricorns aren’t easily persuaded by current trends, remaining loyal to classic styles instead (much like a fellow elegant earth sign, Virgo). “Capricorns have a very refined taste, and it’s unlikely they’ll follow a trend just because it is popular among the latest home and style influencers,” says Ash. For Capricorn’s floral horoscope (or as we like to call it, floriscope), we looked to traditional flowers with polished pedigree: baby’s breath arranged en masse within a stately Romanesque clay pot by OKA. The sculptural display’s understated elegance “pays homage to Capricorns’ patient and meticulous approach to life,” Ash notes.

The arrangement’s asymmetrical shape, with delicate blooms cascading down the urn’s side, symbolize the sign’s propensity for loosening up their rigid routines as they grow older. “In terms of maturity, Capricorns tend to age backward, seemingly becoming more relaxed and resilient in their attitudes on life as they get older,” says Ash. With a life’s worth of accomplishments on their resumes, Capricorns ease into carefree attitudes, finally balancing all the work with well-deserved play.
