Rigel Celeste, at Luxist, considers that a woman's choice of handbag style says a lot about the kind of woman she is. "Because they're such a daily necessity and an ingrained part of our everyday lives, handbags say a lot more about their owners than just announcing their taste in fashion."
Her handbag (purse in USA-speak) tells not half as much as her natal chart though - but she doesn't carry that around in full view. So, can I choose a bag, from the thousands displayed at Google Image, which best defines each zodiac sign? I can try.
Now, I'm not saying that a gal will necessarily prefer the bag which matches her Sun sign, she could well prefer her Moon sign bag or the one for her ascendant sign, or that for any sign emphasised in her natal chart....or none of 'em!
Full disclosure of my own current handbag, bought in Santa Fe some years ago. It does kind of fit my Sun sign (Aquarius). Sturdy leather, handpainted and specially treated by some process so that the paint becomes part of the leather. It's the work of a lady whose signature is on the bag. It was one of a small collection in a store on the main plaza; didn't cost an arm and a leg - maybe a few fingers though! I'm also quite happy with my other staple, a soft brown leather job. If I had the choice of the bags pictured below, I'd choose the Taurus one - and as it happens my Sun's ruler is in Taurus.
Aries - the bag needs to be no fuss, no maintenance - so she can be quick off the mark, pick it up and run!
Taurus - something practical and substantial, that looks classy, solid, but beautiful and of excellent quality.
Gemini - A two-dimensional kind of bag, ready for anything. Couldn't resist this one for Gemini, but it's probably more suitable for a male, because I'm not sure it would offer much bosom comfort.
Cancer - A pretty bag, soft but practical.
Leo - Designer of course! Something with style that says "look at me!"
Virgo - practical to the core, a bag that's easy to organise
Libra - Good quality, unstructured, elegant and tasteful.
Scorpio - black and sexy, a hint of danger.
Sagittarius - The bag has to be ready to take off on a trip at a moment's notice, big enough to hold everything but the neighbour's dog
Capricorn - strictly structured, traditional, conservative in colour.
Aquarius - Something interesting and out of the ordinary.
Pisces - Soft, pretty a bit whimsical with little thought of practicality.
