Today's Etsy Finds collection is a spirited duel between the autumnal star babies, Libra (September 22-October 23) and Scorpio (October 23-November 22).
Governed by Venus, the planet of beauty, Libras are true connoisseurs of high culture: flowers, designer clothing, entertainment, art, fine food, perfume, social events and travel. Unyieldingly particular about what they will or will not bring into their homes, Libras are tastemakers who seek luxurious fabrics like silk and cashmere. They enjoy elegant prints and precious fine jewelry. Represented by the scales of balance, a Libra will find her emotional center with spa treatments and yoga, especially after a decadent night of dining and dancing.
Scorpio is governed by the planet Pluto, which represents power. Known for intensity of emotion, sexuality and darkness, the Scorpio is often summed up by her piercing, unflinching gaze — "The Scorpio Stare." Scorpios are still waters that run deep, reflected in their fascination with caves, the spiritual and occult, the underwater realm, tattoos, piercings, strategy games, dimly lit rooms, forests, secrets and photography (think spy equipment). They have a tenacity for daring styles that best express their flirtation with danger, and they prefer form-fitting jersey or synthetic fabrics that improve stealth. Their homes have touches of cool modernist aesthetic with private collections of oddities. The Scorpio style is often simple but always sensual; allowing the inner vamp to seep through.
Find items inspired by your sign by searching for "zodiac" in the main search field!

love the info on Libra and Scorpio. it's always interesting to see the difference between signs. was expecting more extreme picks for Scorpio and high luxury for Libra.

Super fun article! Love this! I'm going to have to add zodiac tags to all of my stuff now! In reality I'm a Capricorn but based on these choices, I'm a Scorpio!
funkomavintage
mmmmm...as a Libra with Scorpio rising.....I'd say, all in all, a quite accurate post....I love all the picks and found some new faves to love.
ConservationClothing
I'm a scorpio by birth but 99% of its description, not just here but all over the web, are never a match for me at all, LOL.
cathynichols
It's my mom's birthday today, and I have to say that your picks are right on for Scorpios. She would love that faux fur purple vest. LOVE it. This was a great article. Helpful for the future!!

I'm a Libra and wow, that is so NOT me. I am such a simple non frilly kinda gal. Guess I was born in the wrong month:) Great pics!

So Cool! What a great concept!!! Glad I was featured as a Scorpio since I have a lot of Scorpio and Aries in my chart!
Thank you again for the feature! Your articles are really stunning and inspiring!

I'm a Libra & it's true I love beautiful things! I'm also terrible at making decisions which is I think another Libra trait.
Thanks for the interesting info!

Interesting approach, although as a Scorpio I think there's still a bit of a misunderstanding. There's so much more to astrology than the sun sign, after all!

oh. i'm a tastemaker! love it. great article. thx emily. love the seed pod flower stack ring!

This Scorpio likes the finds!! I just bookmarked that secret compartment book yesterday! :)

Very Very cool! My Son is A scorpio and I have a scorpian tattoo on my back for him. I have a lot of Libra friends too and these choices are very good ones:)

Yeah, I feel like I was born to be a Scorpio. Haha, but really, the Plutonian influence wreaks a lot of fascinating chaos, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Intense, powerful, dark, and sexy? Never a dull, unemotional moment. Meanwhile, my mom's a judicious Libra. Thanks for spotlighting some lovely finds and celebrating these awesome birth signs! Such a great time of year.
SmallEarthVintage
Beautiful choices--I have a couple newly-hearted shops now! I'm now curious about the Pisces/Aries picks, since I was born right on the cusp.

I am a Gemini with a Libra husband and mom, I really get them. What a fun comparison/contrast!!

I'm a full-on Scorpio married to a scorpio. We are a serious sign...we either love you or hate you, and trust me - you want us to love you! Scorpios are often mis-understood, because we are fiercly loyal. And yes - there is the Scorpio Stare, and it's intense!

Comparitively, I love the Scorpio side.... Fitting, since I am one!
Lovely collections!

Fabulous. Since I was born on October 23, I am on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio and therefore can have all these lovely things. Right? :)

I really enjoyed this even though I'm a Cancer! Nice work putting it together.
pipertate
You nailed it! My daughter is a (sweet) Libra and I'm surrounded by Scorpio friends. Love their intensity and loyalty! Wonderful stores to illustrate your story!
fantasybeader
Great Finds and Great choices :-) Scorpio's are awesome :-)
I've been accused of that stare many times. lol

emily- thanks for the great posting! i am such a combo of scorpio and libra style too! and thanks for including my little gold studs, they fit in so well with the feminine yet edgy style you have featured. i love it!

I'm a Libra but some of the Scorpio finds are tipping the scales =)

Very thoughtful article for putting the two together. Lovely picks, too!!

The Purple Faux Fur Vest was snapped up before it caught my eye. Great article! Love the vintage items!

Interesting approach, nice pics. However, Pluto seems to have lost its "planet" status as of late, so us scorpions only have Mars to blame, lol.
missbutler
What a great article. I am so a Scorpio and you nailed the choices! Happy Birthday fellow Scorps.

Really cool idea...
Can you do Capricorn in January?
Astrology and personalities continually intrigue me.

Oh my word, do you have ESP ? I am a Libra and i have to tell you I loved everything on the left so much more in every single comparison!! How did you do that? Freaky!!

Horay Scorpios!
Love all the picks for both signs, but being a Scorpio myself, of course I love those more!

Loved this, especially as an Oct 19th Libra! It was like the battle of my two sides...right here on Etsy. :)

Great one! That yoga strap was a great deal and love that it was upcycled from a belt too. =)

Love this theme, thanks for choosing my coat. Happy birthday Scorpios!

I am a Libra but that so does not describe me at all. Now I'm slightly uneasy - did I not turn out the way I was supposed to?
Lovely picks though. Just not me.
*goes to look up astrology info to make sure she wasn't switched at birth or something similar*

Yaaay for Scorpios! We are misunderstodd & treated with (mostly necessary) caution, but I don't think any of us would want to be one of the more wishy-washy signs!
I'll probably get hate mail for that comment but guess what? I'm a Scorp so I DON'T CARE! LOL

Hmmm... some cheeky picks here, Etsy! Cheeky indeed, butt I like it :)
(sorry. can never resist a god-awful pun)

I'm with loopyboopy. I'm a Libra and while they are great selections- they are NOT me either.
Libra's are non-frilly, subtle folks :)

you are asking buyers to search zodiac? Would they not want to search for something more relevant?

All wonderful collections. I know that this may sound corny but I follow all of these newsletters so closely. My dream is to one day log and and find one of my items on there! You just never know do you?

Cool post...I am the first day of Libra/Scorpio cusp, but really I'm Libra, although I have abundant Scorpio in the rest of my chart. I always feel like both are so present within me.

Yay for Scorpio girls! Thanks for the beautiful feature on fall femmes fatales.

I'm a Libra on the cusp of Scorpio- enjoyed the bi polar finds...

Wow, I am a Scorpion, and my husband is a Libra. The description for each of us could not have been more wrong if you had tried! My husband is a crunchy granola, flannel wearing vegetarian mechanical engineer, and I am a messy, cluttered, easy going pediatrician with no dark side that I am yet in touch with.... We got a great laugh from this!! Thanks!

being a fellow Scorpio myself, i completely agree with these choices, as a matter of fact some of the things on this list are in my favs!

I LOVE all the choices, how unique! I'm good with both Libras and Scorpions as a Capricorn. Scorpions are my favorite though! :)
