The mythical zodiac may serve as your guidepost on matters of the heart and wallet, but if you haven't also looked to the stars as inspiration for your table decor, you may not be harnessing the zodiac's true power.

To show you what we mean, Elle Decor teamed up with the brilliant tabletop curators at Casa de Perrin and floral designer Megan Gray of Honey and Poppies to create 12 astrology-inspired table settings, perfect for celebrating your birth month and beyond.

Aquarius: The Water Bearer

Aquarius is confident, original, and a little quirky. This spirit is interpreted with a freeform flat lay of hybrid delphinium euphorbia, joyfully making their own path along the tabletop.

Pisces: The Fish

On the more literal side, this place setting evokes a calm feeling with a subtle aquatic vibe for Pisces using orchids, air plants, hellebore, tulips, and ornamental kale that looks like it could have been plucked from a coral reef. Pisces is sensitive and empathetic, but can want to run away from their problems – much like the tulips wiggling out of the floral arrangement.

Aries: The Ram

Aries are bold, fiery, and attention-grabbing, and they require a tangle of explosive blooms to match. To symbolize this energetic sign, this place setting incorporates festival bush, bronze amaranthus, scabiosa, banksia, roses, and ranunculus.

Taurus: The Bull

Taurus loves beautiful things, but also being grounded. To honor those inclinations, this place setting mixes softer, romantic florals with textural pods and grasses, which lend an earthiness to the arrangement. Garden roses (including Distant Drums and Cappuccino) are incorporated along with sahara spray roses, lisianthus, sumac, millet, and protea pods.

Florentine Charger in Sage & Gold, $95 | Bella Gold-Rimmed Water & Wine Goblets in Blush, $18 | Bella Gold-Rimmed Champagne Coupe in Blush, from $23.50 | 5-piece Goa Flatware in Brushed Gold and Wood, $89 | 14K Salt Cellars Set, $60 | Salt Spoons in Gold, $12 | Bread Plate in Mist by Heath Ceramics, $4 (for rent)

Gemini: The Twins

A Rorschach-esque floral arrangement that feels like a single setting splitting into two, best represents Gemini – twins who are charming, adventurous, and inventive. Here, orchids, tulips, sweet pea, and euphorbia do the trick.

A golden mane of bronze amaranthus, orchids, protea, eucalyptus berries, dahlias, and orchids capture the bold, playful, dramatic Leo essence.

Virgo: The Virgin

Virgos tend to be overly analytical and get caught up in the details, but they are also huge lovers of nature. This sentiment is represented by using many small, detailed, earthy foliages, including hellecho, sea star fern, begonia, pieris buds, hellebore, and vines, along with a mix of assorted earth-toned roses. The organic florals juxtaposed against the very structural herringbone tabletop make for the perfect Virgo mix of natural beauty and structural order.

Libra: The Scales

Libras crave beauty and harmony, as in this centerpiece of classic romantic blooms that (while still a bit quirky and asymmetrical) feels balanced and harmonious. Inside: nerines, lisianthus, roses, astilbe, hyacinth, and anthurium.
