You’re a creature of comfort who needs time and space away from the hustle and bustle to recharge your batteries. "A Tudor is the perfect match for Taurus because it allows them to ground themselves, which will prepare them for any obstacle at hand," says Stardust. Not to mention, your love of aesthetics and art draws you to older architectural styles. With their pitched roofs, decorative half-timbering, and stained glass windows, these homes are the ideal mix of comfort and whimsy.

Gemini: Split-Level

You'll have separate areas for all your hobbies without the hassle of dealing with a full-sized family home. It’s the best of both worlds and the perfect starter home while you figure out your next move.

Although you're less obvious about your accomplishments than other signs, there’s very little that stands in your way of getting what you want.

This means your ideal home will have plenty of cozy hideaways and a lot of character to help set the mood—like a historic Victorian home.

"A Craftsman allows Capricorn to embrace tradition and function all in one while making an investment that's built to last," Stardust says.
