Whether you’re learning more about your dynamic with a dear friend or loved one or learning how an upcoming lunar event might impact you, astrology can offer valuable intel on a vast array of everyday experiences. And if you’re interested in discovering more about yourself — specifically, say, your personal style and perspective on beauty — your birth, or natal, chart is a fantastic jumping off point. You can consider your personal astrological placements when figuring out the best, must-have beauty products for this season: sunny, sweaty late summertime.
In addition to considering your sun sign, which speaks to your self-image, confidence and identity, you’ll want to explore zodiac sign beauty products tailored to your rising sign, or ascendant, which reflects how you show up in the world as well as the talents and strategies you use to make your way through life. And your Venus sign is also immensely helpful to bear in mind, given that it colors what you see as beautiful and your experience of pleasure.
You can pinpoint your sun sign, rising sign, Venus sign and, of course, your moon sign by casting a birth chart . Then, read on for the best late summer beauty product fit to your unique astrological profile.

Born with your sun or other placements in Aries, the cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action and energy, you’re fast-paced, direct and generally disinterested in a lengthy, involved beauty routine. You’d prefer to stick to multitasking products that support your efforts to always be on-the-go — and potentially quite athletic. Check out Glo Skin Beauty C-Shield Anti-Pollution Moisture Tint ($51 for 50mL), which is oil-free skincare, sunscreen, primer and mineral makeup all in one. And for a low-maintenance, sweat-proof pop of color, check out Patrick Ta’s Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo ($38).
As the sensual, grounded, slow and steady fixed earth sign, ruled by the planet of pleasure and beauty itself, romantic Venus, you’re eager to make the most of the remaining days of summer by indulging in as much nurturing self-care as possible. You’re a lover of luxury — and chill spa days! — after all. That said, you’ll do well to check out products that offer the experience of a soothing, pre-autumn beauty treatment. Try Sephora Collection’s Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Face Masks ($6 each). Or keep your lips hydrated overnight, in spite of dry heat, with LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C ($24 for .7 oz.)
Curious, bubbly, social and eager to soak up — and then share — info galore, because you were born under Gemini, the mutable air sign ruled by buzzy Mercury, you love to play and experiment with your beauty routine. To cap off the sunniest season of the year, you’d enjoy a collection of summery products, like the Vacation Sun Belt 5-Piece Sampler ($30), a convenient belt bag you can take wherever you’re flitting to filled with mini must-haves: Vacation's Classic Lotion SPF 30, Super Spritz SPF50, Baby Oil SPF 30 and Aloe Vera After Sun Gel. Or experiment with your signature scent by picking up whimsical, clean beauty brand Ellis Brooklyn’s Mini CHAPTERS Perfume Coffret Set ($59).
You’re sensitive, heartfelt and sentimental because of being born under the cardinal water sign, ruled by the intuitive moon. In turn, your beauty routine needs to feel as nurturing and comforting as you are to others. Treat yourself to a sampler kit like BeautyFIX - Wellness Retreat ($20), featuring some of the most popular products in skin care, hair care and makeup handpicked by pros, such as Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks and a Briogeo Scalp Revival Stimulating Therapy Massager. Or nourish sundrenched skin with a water sign-friendly, ocean-fueled firming and moisturizing body cream like Osea’s Undaria Algae™ Body Butter ($54 for 6.7 oz.).
Ruled by the confident sun, you’re self-assured, optimistic, self-expressive and driven as someone whose sun or other placements are in Leo. Given that this steamy time of year encompasses your birthday season, you’re compelled to make the most of it by slathering on sultry scents and incorporating lots of rosy, golden hues into your look. In turn, you might adore KAYALI’s Vacation in a Bottle Mini Perfume Set ($100), which features - four 0.33 oz. fragrances in Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom, Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar, Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana and Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco. Or reach for a tropical-inspired makeup collection with shades reminiscent of a summer sunset like Tarte Rainforest Temptations Eye & Cheek Palette ($29).
You’re cerebral, wellness-conscious, sensitive and a total self-improvement guru if your sun or other personal placements fall in the Mercury-ruled mutable earth sign Virgo. Making the most of the tail end of summertime means finding products that support your well-being and have you glowing. You might try a new cleansing ritual with a product like Marie Veronique Pure + E.O. Free Oil Cleanser ($65 for 4 oz.), which removes sunscreen and makeup while resurfacing and smoothing skin. Or consider getting playful with a cleanly formulated powder eyeshadow palette like ILIA’s The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette ($40), which comes in a collection of either cool or warm nudes.
A luxury-loving social butterfly born with your sun or other placements in the cardinal air sign, ruled by relationship-oriented Venus, you derive a great deal of pleasure in experimenting with your beauty routine. After soaking up the summer sun and numerous dips in the pool or ocean, you might enjoy giving your mane a nourishing treatment like R+Co SUN CATCHER Power C Boosting Leave-In Conditioner ($32 for 4.2 oz.) or treating your skin to Sunday Riley’s Simple Morning Routine ($116), a brightening, hydrating trio including CC Me Vitamin C Serum, Cloud Dew Oil-Free Gel Cream and ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen to prep your skin for a shift in the weather — and soon, your birthday season!
Magnetic, mysterious and intense, thanks to your sun or other personal placements in the fixed water sign, you’re likely craving the brisker temperatures and mystical vibe of your season, which is right around the corner. But in the meantime, revel in the late days of summertime by treating yourself to an impactful new skincare-forward lip shade, like MDSolarSciences Hydrating Sheer Lip Balm SPF30 in Ruby ($25) or indulging in a therapeutic aquatic scent that makes you feel like you’re walking along the coast at sunset, like The Nue Co. Water Therapy Relaxing Fragrance ($140 for 50mL), a seaweed, salt, cardamom and rose scent said to reduce stress, anxiety and tension while boosting calm.
Born with your sun or other placements in the jovial, wanderlust-driven mutable fire sign, ruled by lucky Jupiter, you prefer to make the most of the end of summer by going big. In turn, you might reach for a hair product that helps you style beachy waves with over-the-top volume, like Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray ($24, 2.1 oz.). Or, because you’re probably doing your best to take advantage of the season by being as jet set as much as possible now, check out Drunk Elephant’s The Littles ($76), a set of six travel-friendly essentials that cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, brighten, replenish and protect skin.
Born with your sun or other placements in the goal-oriented, industrious cardinal earth sign, ruled by hardworking Saturn, it might be tough for you to take a step back from work to soak up these last days of summer, but when you do, you’ll get a thrill from a fresh mani-pedi in a classic hue like a fiery red, perfect pink or sexy nude. You might love Olive and June’s Summer Bestsellers Set ($45), or an earthy, clean beauty skincare set like Tata Harper’s Summer Skin Filter Bundle ($250), which is meant to offer makeup-free radiance with its Resurfacing Serum, Illuminating Eye Creme Starter Kit and Illuminating Moisturizer.
If you were born with your sun or other placements in the quirky, innovative and humanitarian fixed air sign, co-ruled by electrifying Uranus and taskmaster Saturn, you love experimenting with products that aren’t necessarily well-known or mainstream. You might enjoy Vacation’s Classic Whip SPF 30 ($22 for 4 oz.) that delivers broad-spectrum SPF in a lighter-than-air whipped cream formulation or a funky, bright shadow palette like Too Faced Italian Spritz Eyeshadow Palette ($54) that’s packed with an attention-grabbing, shimmery rainbow of colors.
With your sun or other placements in the poetic, dreamy and imaginative mutable water sign, co-ruled by mystical Neptune and fortunate Jupiter, time spent by the ocean or in the water is beyond therapeutic for you. Chances are you’ve gone swimming as much as possible this summer, and if sea salt and/or chlorine have done a number on your skin, reach for Osea’s Plumping Hydration Duo ($110), which includes a seaweed-infused gel cleanser and serum packed with hyaluronic acid, seaweed and snow mushroom. You might also love spritzing on a clean, post-pool day scent like Vacation After Sun ($60, 1 oz.) with notes of aloe vera gel, green tea verjus, aqua di colonia, minibar gin, line dried open weave linen and more.
