Perfect Holiday Gift Scents by the Sign

By Avery Cole

Now that the holidays are upon us, some may have that nagging question, “What gift do I get?” That’s  a question we all ponder at one time or another whether it’s for a holiday or birthday or some other special event.  One item you might want to purchase for someone is an aromatherapy essential oil gift. Aromatherapy, the use of pure plant essential oils, has been around for thousands of years believe it or not.  It’s not a fad, even Cleopatra used aromatic scents from plants! The essential oil’s aroma hits the limbic system part of the brain, known for triggering emotions, reactions, responses and memory recall.  This will bring subtle changes in mood, emotions and energy.  Smelling essential oils awakens that mind, body and soul connection.

A unique way to embrace that mind, body and soul connection is through astrology aromatherapy.  After all one’s personality is partially from their zodiac Sun sign.  Haven’t you met a stubborn Taurus or an indecisive Libra?

The astrology Sun sign, although not the only astrological sign, is the most common and widely referred since it descriptions your personality, your inner self.   Learning about your Sun sign is an entertaining way to discover who you are.

Aries (March 21- April 20,21), The Ram needs more joy, confidence and positivity easily achieved with the aroma of citrus especially Grapefruit.  Arians are known for not always making the best choices so the aroma of Frankincense essential oil will help encourage stability to get to making better choices.

Taurus (April 21 – May 20,21), The Bull.  Grounding Sandalwood helps calm the Bull with tranquility while the sensual floral scent of Ylang Ylang opens the Taurian heart, enhancing the generous and sensual side, awakening the spiritual senses.

Gemini (May 21,22-June 21), The Twins.  Known for their dual personality and lack of decision making, Lemon and Basil essential oils encourages mental clarity and confidence,  uplifting the Twins spirit,  awakening the soul to believe in oneself.

Cancer (June 21,22-July 21,22), The Crab.  Since they are ruled by the Moon, the nurturing,  sensitive Cancerian is affectionate and intuitive but they are also moody. Mandarin essential oil aroma helps the Crab by its breath of happiness and sweetness getting them out of their shell.

Leo (July 22- Aug 21,22) , The Lion.  On a good day the Lion is courageous and protective; on a bad day they are arrogant, cold hearted and jealous. Peaceful Lavender is perfect for those Leo bad days, it softens them Lion’s roar!

Virgo (Aug 22,23 – Sept 21,22) , The Virgin. Virgo’s are fussy, quick thinkers and observant. At times the Virgo can be selfish, and often very critical of themselves.  Rose essential oil emotionally opens the heart, allowing self love to diminish the self doubting side of Virgo.

Libra (Sept 22- Oct 21/22), The Scales. Librans seek equality, harmony, and balance. They have an innocent way about them that makes them very approachable and flirtatious. Cedarwood is a great  essential oil for grounding, balance and confidence.  It inspires steadiness for the see-saw Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 22/23- Nov 21/22), The Scorpion. The clean refreshing whiff of Orange encourages an aura of joy and bliss, in turn, softening the potential sting of the Scorpio.   Often this aroma has an emotionally balancing influence on a moody and obsessive Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov 22,23- Dec 21,22), The Archer.  Sagittarians are driven and outgoing yet blunt and at times insensitive. Bergamot citrus aroma assists in bringing laughter to the Sagittarian, while emphasizing the Sagittarians drive and strength.

Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 20/21), The Goat. Capricorns have a need for purpose and direction. They are the resident conventional Sun sign, cerebral and cautious. They are goal setters with definitive guidelines as they need structure.  Pine’s clean, woody leafy aroma resonates with the Capricorn month of December, January. Look at a Pine tree, notice its straight trunk,  reminding us of the logical and practical Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan 21- Feb 20/21), The Water Bearer. Aquarius often is referred to as the Bohemian sign. Aquarians are originally original, humanitarian beings who are love equally, are social and aloof.  They can be extroverts while being introverted. Rosewood essential oil often associated with the Crown Chakra as is the Aquarian. The aroma is grounding perfect for this Air sign, and has a balancing effect on the Water Bearer promoting a feeling of well being.

Pisces (Feb 21,22- March 20), The Fish. Pisces are selfless, forgiving, imaginative, extremely sensitive, loyal, wishy-washy, overcome by others feelings.  Lime essential oil helps the Pisces with liveliness, bliss, and positivity.   It is a cheerful scent that lifts the Pisces out of a sober mood.
