Happy Mother's Day Friends,
Let’s face it — shopping for Mother's Day is no easy task. I mean, what do you give the woman who has, quite literally, given you the gift of life? No, a scented-candle will not suffice.
Moms are selfless, supportive, understanding and unconditional — and they deserve a Mother's Day that is as special and spectacular as they are!
Where to start? Her birthday, of course! As resident astrology-guru, I've consulted the stars and rounded up personalized ways to celebrate Mom, based on her sign.
The Aquarius Mom
(January 20 — February 18)
Erin Nelson
Eccentric Aquarians are lovers of all-things art and innovation. Take your Aquarius-mom to the opening of an art gallery or for a beer-tasting at a local brewery. She will appreciate your willingness to try new things, and even more so, your willingness to try them with her.
The Pisces Mom
(February 19 — March 20)

Soulful, sweet and imaginative Pisces find their happiness by way of music. Show your Pisces-mom your appreciation of her through tickets to see a live music show together. The time spent with you, and with music, will feed her soul and leave her feeling all the love you could wish for on her special day.
The Aries Mom
(March 21 — April 19)
If your mom is an adventure-seeking Aries, she'll adore spending an athletic, action-packed afternoon with you. Take her on a scenic hiking trail, try out a kickboxing class or grab tickets to a baseball game.
The Taurus Mom
(April 20 — May 20)
Nick Pironio
Taurus-born Moms are patient providers that work diligently to provide comfortable, reliable and loving households for their children. Provide them with some much-needed and well-deserved R+R. A luxurious mommy-and-me day at the spa will provide them the quality time and pampering needed to really celebrate Mother's Day this year.
The Gemini Mom
(May 21 — June 20)
Chat-happy and trend-loving Gemini moms will love spending Mother's Day catching up on the latest happenings in their kids' lives over brunch at the trendiest spot in town. Be sure to gift your Gem-mom with all the juicy details of your latest relationships or neighbor-drama and don't leave anything out.
The Cancer Mom
(June 21 — July 22)
Kelly Fondots
These mamas are at their happiest when cuddled up with their kiddos! No matter how old you are, your mom will be thrilled to celebrate Mother's Day couch-side, sharing a fluffy throw and watching favorite movies with her family. You'll get bonus points if you come baring all the tasty fixings needed to throw together a killer homemade pizza.
The Leo Mom
(July 23 — August 22)
If your mom is a Leo, I’m sure you’re well-aware of her love (and, at times, flair) for drama. What better gift to give her than front-row tickets to see drama up close and personal? For a Mother’s Day well spent, grab tickets to a play put on by your local theatre. If the acting is sub-par, all the better! A Leo-mom loves a critiquing sesh just as much as any ol’ grade-A performance.
The Virgo Mom
(August 23 — September 22)
Missouri Botanical Garden
Ah, the Virgo mom — she’s a tough one. She knows exactly what she likes and, even more so, what she does not. Giving gifts to her is always hit or miss, and the last thing you want to do is give her another Mother’s Day gift to return this year. Instead, celebrate your ultra-particular-Virgo-mom by surrounding her with natural beauty. Start with an afternoon tea, followed by a walk through the local botanical gardens. An earth-sign and lover of beauty, this Mother’s Day will leave Virgo-mom feeling celebrated and happy.
The Libra Mom
(September 23 — October 22)
Unnata LLC
She’s always seeking more balance in her life, so why not make it fun? Laugh your way through an aerial yoga class with your Libra mom. She may not find inner-balance (and she’ll probably twist herself into a pretzel!), but the time you spend together will be well worth it.
The Scorpio Mom
(October 23 — November 21)

Scorpio Moms are prone to stress and will reap serious benefits from a deep-tissue massage. Give her the gift of relaxation with a certificate to a well-renowned masseuse in your area. You can give it to her over an easy-breezy, carefree trip to the ice creamery in town. Ice cream and a massage — what could be sweeter?
The Sagittarius Mom
(November 22 — December 21)
Noel Hendrickson
Take a weekend road trip with your travel-loving Sagittarius-mom. Be sure to do a little research for the best bite (and brew!) in town, because she’ll love the chance to taste local cuisine while she’s there. Commemorate the weekend with matching t-shirts or add funky new tchotchkes to her collection.
The Capricorn Mom
(December 22 — January 19)
Capricorn mothers work hard to provide their children with the very best of the best, and Mother’s Day is the perfect time to return the favor. A mini-shopping spree at her favorite shopping spots will leave her feeling extra-special and extra-appreciated. Isn’t that what Mother’s Day is all about?
She gave you a birthday, so you better know hers...
