The Essential Oil Guide for Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

Have you ever wondered which zodiac sign is compatible with which essential oil? Fear not! I have developed a list of my favorite go-to essential oils for all the elements: water, fire, air and earth. So, the next time you go to pick up your favorite essential oil, consider some of these options. Who knows? Maybe the stars and aromatherapy will add just a little extra peace and shine in your life!

Water Signs

Calling all my water signs. Yes, that’s you, Pisces, Cancers and Scorpios! If you’re a water sign, then you know that your emotions are the ruling entity. Just like water, you tend to move back and forth, creating a constant wave of emotional experiences. These emotions also make you an extremely empathetic being, who can probably be caught with your head in the clouds and dreaming away to a fantasy world, married with the artsy lifestyle you live.

Try oils such as lavender, geranium(rose) and chamomile to get in tune with your dreamy side. All of these oils are great for promoting a calm, warm and soothing aura that will be sure to catch your eye (or should I say your nose), even in your daydreams.

Fire Signs

If sassiness were a person, then Aries, Leos, Sagittariuses, that’s you! You’re a fiery, feisty bunch who exude creativity, excitement and are larger than life. You love to be the center of attention, but it makes sense because your positivity and glow demand the attention of others. You’re always looking for the next way to take charge and lead, and you live a courageous life with your headstrong heart, filled with love and loyalty.

If you’re a fire sign, consider bergamot, jasmine and orange. All of these oils are great for increasing positivity (even more than you have!), and they’re uplifting and will be sure to bring all sorts of good vibes.

Air Signs

Air signs include Geminis, Libras and Aquariuses. They’re hard workers who live a well-balanced life. They’re often grounded with a strong logical background. They’re the thinkers who love to solve the complex problems of the world. Their ability to delve deep and find solutions and their great analytical skills mean more focus and clarity. 

Oils such as tea tree, eucalyptus and cypress are great to refresh your mind as well as increase clarity within your space to help you solve even the hardest problems.

Earth Signs

 

Earth Signs

Earth signs are grounded individuals who like to maintain a sense of caution. Their need for stability makes them ideal homebodies. They love to maintain responsibility in whatever they are doing, and they do it well.

If you’re an earth sign consider trying frankiscence, patchouli and sandalwood. All of these oils have a musky, earthy tone that’s sure to create an environment that promotes balance and purity. They’re revitalizing oils that increase tranquility and created a sense of comfort.

Manisha is currently a student at the University of Central Florida studying finance. She loves all things sweet and artsy. If she's not stuffing her face with the colorful ice cream or drawing pictures of her cat, then she's probably reading all things astrology or singing her heart away to all of her favorite R&B artists. Her dream is to be a CEO and have her own beauty brand focusing on natural, clean products that will transform the beauty industry!
