What does your star sign say about your Photo Book style?

Curating a photo book means something different to every zodiac sign, because we all see, feel and remember moments in our own unique way. Astrologer Venus & Vesta explores how each sign expresses itself through photography, from the stories we choose to tell to the emotions we want to preserve. Whether it’s bold and dramatic, soft and nostalgic or carefully curated down to the last detail, your sign can reveal a lot about your visual style.

If your Sun sign doesn’t quite resonate with how you share or select your images, take a look at your rising sign. This often reflects how you present yourself to the world and the version of your life you’re most drawn to capturing and showcasing.

Aries

Title: Action & Adventure

What goes in:

• Selfies in outstanding places

• Adrenaline-fuelled activities

Why it fits: Aries = pioneer spirit + huge energy

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries wants to be number one, so their photo book has to show the ram winning at life. There may have been a phase of lots of selfies, but as an early adopter, Aries knows selfies alone aren’t powerful enough. Their photos showcase them in the centre of the crowd, as the leader, demonstrating what it’s like to be a dynamic pioneer with tons of friends. Aries is not averse to risk taking and likes to move fast, so there may be action shots, but they will also include the mishaps, hilariously showing what happens when you live life at top speed mixed with a large dose of flamboyancy.

Taurus

Title: Nature, Nibbles & Nights In 

What goes in:

• Pleasure principle of food

• Grand gesture events

Why it fits: Taurus = animals, food + routine

Taurus is the bull in the field, enjoying life’s rich pleasures – so you can expect the Taurus photo book to be filled with pictures hiking across moors or appreciating nature’s finest views, perhaps with farm animals featuring too. Taurus is a big lover of good food and fine dining, so there will definitely be shots of Taurus around the table enjoying conviviality. Nobody likes cosy comforts like the bull, so the photo book is going to be big on staying home with friends wearing matching pyjamas and fluffy, animal-shaped slippers, plus other joy-filled at-home shots.

Gemini

Title: People, Places & Things 

What goes in:

• Curious quirks of life

• Lots of faces

Why it fits: Gemini = connections + fun

Gemini likes to have new and fascinating ideas, so their photo book might look a bit chaotic as it will include such a wide variety of friends, acquaintances – and even strangers – demonstrating how meeting a wide variety of people makes for an interesting life. There is always going to be a story behind each shot; some might not be obvious, so anyone flicking through will need to ask and spark the conversation that Gemini loves. Their photo book will include contrasts that reflect their multi-faceted approach to life – a building on the edge of a cliff, a lone flower growing in the crack of a pavement, and candid shots as Gemini travels around the neighbourhood connecting to a wide variety of perspectives.

Cancer 

Title: Family Matters

What goes in:

• Baby pics of family members

• Sentiment and natural cycles

Why it fits: Cancer = family first + empathy

Cancers are known for their love of photography, which is because they’re sentimental creatures and cherish memories more than your average person. They’ll want to include family shots in their photo book and they are excellent at setting up shots of the same people in the same place or clothes, 10 or even 50 years apart. You also might find a few dreamy sunset or twilight shots – they like to express the subtle emotion conveyed in nature’s cycles as Cancer is ruled by the moon and its changing illumination.

Leo 

Title: Party Time!

What goes in:

• Dressed to the nines 

• Good times with cherished friends

Why it fits: Leo = drama + big heart

Leo has the ultimate showcase life according to their photo book – and it won’t be far from the truth. There will be lots of shots at celebratory or VIP events demonstrating Leo’s main character energy. They’re dressed for maximum impact, photographed alongside other colourful friends who they might be hugging with pure pleasure and joy. Most of the photos will be taken in the summer, or feature the sun even if it’s winter, as Leo cannot resist brightness and appreciates the warm glow of carefree days spent with people they care passionately about.

Virgo 

Title: The Pursuit of Happiness

What goes in:

• Clean creativity

• Good deeds

Why it fits: Virgo = purity + growth

Virgo won’t want to give away the details of their personal life, but they are bound to demonstrate how discerning and careful they are about what they get up to. There will be shots of them on wellness retreats or completing a fun run, showcasing how they love to work on themselves as well as help others. As they appreciate clean lines and simplicity, some shots will be almost abstract and empty; the light falling against a wall, the dew on petals of a flower – Virgo appreciates the beauty in these small details and knows they are important to happiness.

Libra 

Title: Our Love Story

What goes in:

• Dates, couples holidays

• Luxury items and aesthetics 

Why it fits: Libra = romance + beauty

A Libra photo book is something to admire, due to the careful curation the sign of the scales puts into demonstrating perfection and creating a visually balanced array of lifestyle shots. Shared milestones and couple anniversaries will feature heavily; taken on mini breaks and special days that makes the Libra life look like a long romantic holiday. Everything is stylishly presented in themed photo books to be cherished for a lifetime.

Scorpio

Title: Moon Dreams

What goes in:

• Night-time escapades

• Transformational ideas

Why it fits: Scorpio = transformation + power

Nothing will be laid bare and obvious in the Scorpio photo book – instead obscure images will demonstrate a complex nature that not everyone will get. They will showcase profound moments in life that are deeply personal, yet need a little translating for the casual eye. There is an art and a deeper wisdom in their carefully selected images, which portray atmospheric moments that are designed to evoke strong emotions. Mysterious, darker shots taken at night show an internal and nocturnal nature. Scorpio may feature “before and after” images of their personal transformation journey to highlight their hidden layers and abilities.

Sagittarius 

Title: Where Next?

What goes in:

• Travel and adventure

• Philosophical moments

Why it fits: Sagittarius = experience + wisdom

The Sagittarius photo book may appear chaotic, but there will be thought in how it is arranged and what it is designed to show, which is a life of meaningful experience. Images of them visiting and even living in far-flung places are impressive, but look closely, as they will include improvement ideas, teaching methods and charitable efforts, as Sagittarius puts their mind into the bigger picture of the world’s evolution. Their sporty and enthusiastic energy will shine through as their photo book will go big on high adrenaline moments, captured in a blur of life on the move.

Capricorn 

Title: What I Built this Year

What goes in:

• Career wins, successful projects

• Milestones and timelines

Why it fits: Capricorn = ambition + legacy

Capricorn wants their photo book to endure through the generations. To someone looking back at the images, Capricorn assumes they will want to see all the successes and milestones of their life. While they will include traditional images, where people have dressed up and even posed for their shot, it will demonstrate a premium ideal of achieving life goals, which make good memories and tell a satisfying story. There will be nature shots in exclusive places featuring beautiful mountain tops, plus images looking upwards at city skyscrapers where big business is conducted.

Aquarius 

Title: My Favourite Everything

What goes in:

• Uncurated photo dump 

• Humanitarian issues

Why it fits: Aquarius = unconventional + community

Aquarius favours authenticity so you can expect a photo dump featuring a wide variety of seemingly uncurated, random shots that show how life really is. Yet, Aquarius is always spontaneous and unconventional, so they will include quirky images that show their interesting and unorthodox attitude. People from all walks of life will feature, demonstrating the Aquarian love of society and friendships, often over family or their private life. They have a humanitarian nature, so their appreciation of world events and activism will come through with images that demonstrate ideas and thought-provoking issues, all of which are often beautiful as well as profound.

Pisces

Title: Life is Magic

What goes in:

• Emotionally charged connections and moments

• Beauty in everyday magic

Why it fits: Pisces = dreamy + nostalgic

There is a softness to the Pisces photo book that reflects their gentle nature, with whimsical images interspersed with everyday shots of intimate moments shared with close friends. Their photos will portray the magic in the mundane, conveying the atmosphere of experiences, rather than the actual events themselves. A Pisces photo book is a treasure trove of little gifts that stir up memories: the colours of the sky that day, the light falling on a dining table after supper, petals around a vase. They will use soft filters and out-of-focus blurring to create nostalgia that is artful and emphasises the mystery and emotional value in everything they do and express.
