Using Your Zodiac Sign To Inspire A Fun & Unique Boudoir Photo Session
by Francesca Flansburg
Hi loves!
Just for funsies, let’s take a journey through the cosmos together to inspire a unique boudoir experience that aligns with the planets.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
This alpha lady is physical, assertive, daring, and pioneering. Ruled by Mars, this sun sign is symbolized by the ram. Fierce and firey, the Aries woman is a natural leader. She has a badass attitude and owns her sensuality. For the Aries-inspired boudoir session, consider wearing bold colors with striking red lipstick. The Aries woman exudes confidence but can be inwardly vulnerable. Run the gamut with poses and outfits that showcase both qualities. Diamonds are the gemstone for this sun sign. While it might be too costly to literally drape yourself in diamonds, rhinestones and other crystals can give a similar appearance…gorgeous! Did you know that each sign is associated with a particular body part? Aries aligns with the head and face, which can mean stunning close-ups and alluring eyes. Wear this exquisite Nova Aries Bodysuit by Honey Birdette. Take charge and get this party started!
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
This lovely lady is ruled by Venus. Earthy and natural, but luxurious, Taurus loves her stability and embodies reliability, loyalty, and ambition. This sign is closely associated with the neck, which can be embellished with jewels (emeralds, sapphires and diamonds) and featured in sultry, steamy positions. Romantic and sensual, the Taurean woman may choose classic lingerie pieces or flirty floral patterns. Consider pairing the Nova Taurus Bodysuit, by Honey Birdette, with a rich-fabric robe in emerald green or brilliant blue. Taurus is an earth sign, which may mean a natural-look for makeup or even an outdoor shoot! Roses and poppies are the flowers associated with this sign of the zodiac. Can’t you just see it? Lying on a bed of roses with the neck exposed and adorned with jewels? Check out some other pieces here that the Taurus woman will rock in her boudoir, or intimate, photo session.
Gemini
May 21- June 21
Versatile, dynamic, friendly and humorous, the Gemini woman is ruled by Mercury. She easily adapts to a variety of situations and can be considered a ‘social butterfly.’ This air sign is intellectual yet playful. Gemini’s versatility lends itself to a variety of expressions, outfits, styles, and poses. She can be serious and seductive or joyful and exuberant. Colors to use in a Gemini-inspired photo shoot include bright yellows, orange, white, and blue. Incorporate the moonstone as your signature accessory piece. Consider using airy and light fabrics like tulle or mesh. Gemini is associated with the arms, which can be wrapped around you or your significant other (consider a couples shoot!) in a passionate embrace. Wear the Nova Gemini Bodysuit for a sleek, sophisticated look or this Gemini sports bra for a cute and sassy image. Flowers for the Gemini goddess include lavender and lily of the valley…just lovely!
Cancer
June 21- July 22
Emotional, sensitive, nurturing, sensual and romantic, the Cancer woman is also family-oriented and loyal. This water sign is ruled by the moon. All this evokes soft images in cozy spaces, using feminine fabrics, fuzzy pillows, billowing blankets, or silky sheets. Consider an outdoor shoot by the water or steamy tub and shower images. The Cancer sign is associated with the chest and breasts. Let your imagination run wild and think of images that feature cleavage, sexy push-up bras, see-through materials, or bare-breasted, beautiful you! White roses and rubies also adorn this lovely lady. Wear the Nova Cancer Bodysuit with a ruby-red feather boa and…wow!
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Confident and creative, Leos love the spotlight. Dramatic, glamorous…regal even! This firey lioness rules her den. She embodies courage and daring adventure; however, she can be delicate at times. Dominant, powerful poses come to mind. Rich golds and greens with flowers and gems including marigolds, sunflowers, and peridot. The Leo woman may want to include images that feature her sexy back and curvy spine. Ruled by the sun, one can imagine bold, bright shots in front of an open window with the light streaming in. Regal, rich fabrics caressing the skin while the Leo’s passion exudes from every pore. Show off your pride in this Nova Leo Bodysuit from Honey Birdette and you will be the cat’s meow (it’s okay, you can roll your eyes at that one- I just couldn’t help myself)!
Virgo
August 23- September 22
The Virgo is a practical beauty with a keen eye for detail and a little streak of perfectionism. Minimal, clean, natural, and organized are all words that describe this lovely maiden. This earth sign is ruled by Mercury. Images featuring the waist will highlight the Virgo’s signature body part. Consider wearing natural-looking makeup and choosing bright white backgrounds. Symbolized by the innocent maiden, the Virgo photo shoot might capture demure or submissive expressions and poses. This exquisite woman will have all the details of her session well-planned out, including shoes and accessories. The blue sapphire will add a hint of allure and sophistication, as will the Nova Virgo Bodysuit. Pure perfection!
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Ruled by Venus, the Libra lady is balanced and sociable. She strives for peace and harmony with a love for art and beauty. As an air sign, the Libra is not a powerful wind gust (think Gemini and Aquarius) but a warm, gentle breeze. Elegant and attractive, the Libra will want to feature her derriere and lower back. Think in colors like warm orange, serene blue, cool green, shell pink, or pearly white. Consider choosing soft hair and makeup to enhance your features. Large roses are the flower of choice for lovely Libras. Choose romantic floral patterns or bring a beautiful bouquet with you. Pair a billowy blue robe with this Nova Libra Bodysuit and breeze through your session like a pro!
Scorpio
October 23- November 21
Passionate, provocative, intense, and mysterious, the Scorpio woman is a magnetic force. Intensely sexual, individuals under this sign, ruled by Mars, are drawn to the genitals. This water sign is stained in deep reds, like maroon or burgundy, with darker accent colors like blacks and browns. Gothic images come to mind, perhaps replete with masks or other naughty little props- the sky is the limit. The Scorpion woman loves deeply, but can be secretive. She likes to dominate and be in control, at the same time, she’s flirtatious, driving her intended target absolutely wild. Adorn the Scorpio woman in topaz gemstones for a little added pop of color. Think dark images that hint of mystery and intrigue. The Nova Scorpio Bodysuit paired with some blood-red lipstick and a set of stilettos…go ahead, knock ‘em dead.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Intelligent, forceful and free, the Sagittarian woman is ruled by Jupiter. She is the archer, aiming her arrow and claiming the intended target with her adventurous spirit. This air sign comes at you as a force to be reckoned with. The thighs are a Sagittarian’s featured part of the body, which lends itself to so many sensual leggy poses and pics. Think stockings, garters and garter belts, and thigh-high boots. Turquoise is the stone for our Sagittarius queen. Using deep blues and greens may be a winning combination for this stunner who confidently struts her stuff. Wear this Sagittarius Set by Dusk to Dawn Lingerie or rock the Nova Sagittarius Bodysuit by Honey Birdette.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Capricorn women are determined, ambitious, and hard-working. This earth sign is ruled by Saturn. Bold on the outside, soft on the inside, the Capricorn woman rocks anything red, like her brilliant garnet birthstone. She will organize a well-planned session. She won’t be afraid to take charge and own her session like a boss! Considering her earthiness, perhaps an outdoor shoot or beautiful and elegant nudes will showcase her true nature. Incorporate carnations (floral patterns), show lots of skin (Capricorn’s feature to highlight), and smile! Consider smart, classic patterns like this set from Lavinia or the Nova Capricorn Bodysuit and take your photo session to great heights.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
No matter her age, the independent, innovative, and eccentric Aquarian woman is a bit of a rebel. She is a creative, unique, humanitarian who can appear aloof at times. Ruled by Uranus, this air sign loves her freedom and won’t be afraid to try something new and different in her photo shoot. Symbolized by the water-bearer, this sign may want to incorporate outdoor water scenes or sexy tub and shower images. Purple (amethyst) and blue are the Aquarian’s colors and heaven knows how the Aquarian woman will weave bits of her quirky self throughout her boudoir, or erotica, session. The lower legs and ankles are the focal point for our Aquarian goddess. High heels on a marble floor or bare feet on the sand, there is no wrong way for this woman to shine! Especially in her own Nova Aquarius Bodysuit by Honey Birdette.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Our Pisces goddess is compassionate, emotionally tuned-in, artistic, and intuitive. Ruled by the planet Neptune, this water sign is elegance personified. Consider wearing pearls or aquamarine (Pisces’ birthstone) as classic and romantic accessories in images that evoke emotion and captivate the observer. Billowy hair and subtle makeup will depict the Piscean woman’s soft side. Artistic, evocative images of this queen are likely to express her true nature. Pisces woman may want to accentuate their pretty feet in gorgeous heels or with a pretty pedicure. Ocean blues and deep greens may add a splash of color to the Pisces woman’s photo session. Check out this mermaid-inspired thong or don the Nova Pisces Bodysuit and your session will go swimmingly!
