What’s Your Sign? A Horoscope for Your Bra Drawer

While we may not have a crystal ball with which to predict the future, we can tell you how your love for your lingerie is written in the stars. And really, isn’t that a lifelong love affair? So grab your coffee, cozy up and find out exactly what bra style your astrological sign says you should be wearing.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18)
Freedom, freedom, free-doooom! You sing it like George Michael, girl—especially when you get home and peel off your bra after a long day. Your independent and progressive sign hates to be confined, even when it comes to your undies. A backless bra will keep your top half from feeling smothered and let you wear whatever you darn well please, thankyouverymuch.

PISCES (2/19-3/20)
Coachella’s style icons have got nothing on you, including but not limited to your underthings. Mellow festival style is a year-round way of life for your artistic and musical sign, meaning you were rocking a lacy bralette long before it was cool. Just keep vibing. Peace, love and no underwires.

ARIES (3/21-4/20)
Watching you finish a workout is not unlike seeing Rocky Balboa scale those famous steps. Ever the determined warrior, you (and your gym clothes) function under a work hard, play hard mentality—right on down to your sports bra. There literally ain’t no wiggle room here.

TAURUS (4/21-5/21)
In the wise words of Meghan Trainor, “My name is no. My number is no. My sign is no.” Your no-nonsense mentality and love of all things practical extends further than your distaste for cheesy pick-up lines. Any item you’ve got hanging around in your underwear drawer must be high quality and serve a purpose, so think comfortable, underwire-supported styles like a 3-part cup.

GEMINI (5/22-6/20)
You’re double the trouble and, if we’re being honest, double the fun, too. A woman like you needs lots of choices in her life to accommodate her ever-changing mood, so why not pick up a push-up bra and a minimizer? That way, you can play up or down your assets whenever the mood strikes.

CANCER (6/21-7/22)
Your water-loving sign is always ready to take the plunge, be it in the ocean or in a deep V-neck top. So instead of coming up with highly imaginative ways to keep your bra from showing, let that lace peek out. If you have a strict no-straps policy, a racerback, strapless or halter will help you out in a pinch.

LEO (7/23-8/22)
Always ready to roar, your generous spirit and head-of-the-pack mentality means you can’t be tamed, even when it comes to your lingerie. You like to keep life unexpected, so your significant other shouldn’t be surprised if you show up channeling your astrological (and lingerie spirit) animal in a pair of, say, crotchless panties.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22)
Hey, mama! As one of the most nurturing signs, Virgo’s loyal and logical personality traits scream parent material. A natural fit for moms-to-be or new moms is, of course, a great nursing bra. Not remotely with child? A tried-and-true classic, like a cotton, full-coverage T-shirt bra, will always have a place in your life.

LIBRA (9/23-10/22)
Gracious and fair-minded, you’re the judge and jury of the zodiac. The key to happiness for a Libra is balance in all things, bras included. Part coverage, part cleavage, a demi or peek-a-boo bra shows off juuuust enough without revealing all. Either way you play it, the odds of you looking hot are strongly tipped in your favor.

SCORPIO (10/23-11/21)
Whether scaling a mountain or swimming with sharks, there isn’t much you sweat. Scorpios are notoriously brave, passionate and resourceful, so you never skimp on coverage. A bandeau offers the freedom you crave and, if you’re in need of a little more back-up, a sturdy sports bra will keep you supported, no matter what lies ahead of you.

SAGITTARIUS (11/22-12/21)
Be it aboard a jet to Ibiza or Reykjavík, you don’t sit still for long, meaning your belongings need to do their very best to keep up with you. A simple bralette, a T-shirt bra and a demi bra won’t take up much room in your suitcase and will keep you covered on any adventure. Bon voyage!

CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19)
Don’t be fooled by the goat’s often buttoned-up behavior. While Caps thrive on being responsible, disciplined and rulers of the boardroom, they’re also ready to take charge in the bedroom. Your perfect match: a business-in-the-front bustier that lets your sexy self loose, be it under a blazer or all on its own.
