(June 21 - July 22)

Oh, there is so much to say about the tenacious, loyal, and imaginative Cancer. You deeply care about the people around you and are easily able to tap into their emotions with your intuition. This may not come out first, because like many other signs you try to keep your heart guarded. Yet, with a bit of time and patience, others see your gentle nature and authentic compassion. With all the ideal qualities for a poet, we really could pick any Ideal Object for you. However, as we’ve entered into 2021 and a new season of creativity, we’re calling on the energy of June Jordan, a famous fellow Cancer to represent you. Jordan used her creative talent to not only express her feelings about the world around her but her own emotional desires and wounds. Much of her works were autobiographical but still had the special ability to reach a broad audience. This year we hope that you’ll continue cultivating your emotional depth like Jordan to create tender masterpieces.

(July 23 - August 22)

The spotlight is on Leo *wink wink*. We know that you’re a star, you know you’re a star, gosh, the red carpet is rolled out and ready for you. Even thinking of your name, Leo, brings us back to the king of the jungle and the commanding presence you demand upon entering a room. You’re well aware of the importance of celebrating one’s personal victories and achievements. That’s not to say that you’re not also capable of stable and meaningful relationships, after all, everyone needs fans. In fact, many know that the mark of true Leo sun signs is the abundant loyalty and consistency they provide to their friends, family, and lovers. So, what Ideal Object can embody all a Leo has to offer? We think we know just the right one. Bold, bright, and dependable you remind us of our Poems! Tote.

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)

You are seductive, mysterious, and full of depth. Scorpio, no one will quite understand you as much as you know yourself. Within the zodiac, you are known for your ambition and intensity, but it can often be a turn-off to other signs who assume that you are egotistical and stubborn. They forget that while you are secretive, you also are a part of the water family and are deeply entrenched in your emotions. Let’s not forget that some people are just better at concealing their emotions than others. Yet, the connection that you do form lasts a lifetime and is full of intimacy and unwavering trust. Who else could we give you to represent within our Ideal Object series than Sylvia Plath, another famous Scorpio sun sign? Plath is known for having poetry with darker elements and deep emotions that for some can render unease and in others understanding. It’s a tight line to walk, but someone has to do it, and we know that Scorpios are always up for a challenge.

Quick, witty, and likable you go into different spaces with ease knowing that you can win others over with your charm and social skills. At the same time, we don’t expect to hold onto you for so long because you are constantly in motion to find different avenues of change. With all of the places you expect to end up going, you’re going to need something to carry all your possessions but in true Sag form. Since you’re full of possibilities, we think the Love in Time of Covid Tote works perfectly for all of your expeditions. As the saying implies, there is still room for abundance in our lives despite difficulties. If there’s a sign that embodies this in the zodiac it’s surely Sagittarius.

Capricorn

(Dec 22 - Jan 19)

A grounded earth sign, Capricorns, you are characterized with ambition, drive, and endurance. When it comes to your goals, you have an intensity that allows you to achieve them quickly and without distraction. On the same hand a marking sign of Capricorns maturing as they age. For many Capricorns, as you age and become older your personality becomes more carefree and your work-life balance levels out. When you do get some downtime between your goals and this emotional transition, we hope you’ll take advantage of the Coffee All the Time Pillow, which is a part of our Perfect Circle Pillow Collection. Or if you’re not willing to take a break quite yet, use it as a backrest in your office chair and a reminder to fill your cup.
