This Is the Handbag You Should Buy for Spring, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Aries are known for being bold, and there’s no better time to make a statement than when the season is turning and the warm weather is upon us. You can do just that with your accessories this spring and pick up a new statement bag.

“A shimmering, sparkly bag would be the perfect statement piece for this Fire sign to embrace their renewed confidence and self-expression, especially once Venus re-enters their sign (Apr. 30) after a long retrograde journey,” Mesa says.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re leaning into classic silhouettes this season, Taurus, and really embracing your style. Elevate your wardrobe with a doctor bag that can go with anything and add a touch of sophistication.

“Governed by aesthetically pleasing Venus, it’s no wonder Taurus values beauty, luxury and timeless style,” Mesa says, adding that a doctor bag offers “sophistication, reliability, practicality and elegance.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gemini are the twins, so we had to pick a bag befitting that aesthetic. It was only too perfect that the east west bag is so hot this season — and it’s the ideal bag for you.

“Multifaceted and a lover of variety, Geminis are some of the most adaptable signs in the zodiac,” Mesa says. “Amidst socializing with their peers and getting their networking on, an east west style bag makes the perfect companion, adding a fresh twist to their wardrobe with its unique shape.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Cancers may not quite be ready to come out of hibernation once the weather warms up, and that’s okay. Keep it cozy with a bag that matches how you feel, and invest in something slouchy and comforting.

“A large, slouchy bag fits perfectly with their cozy, laid-back nature, providing ample space for their essentials while still bringing a relaxed, effortless look,” Mesa says. “Venus will dazzle their ninth house of adventure, 10th house of career and 11th house of social networks this season, encouraging this Water sign to embrace new experiences and their ever-evolving goals.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

We all have a Leo in our lives. They’re the ones who have the trendy things every season, but they always know how to make use of every little thing they buy — because Leos are still creative with every penny they spend. That’s why they’re going to buy a fashionable and functional bag for spring.

“Leos are born to sparkle and shine, which is no exception this spring,” Mesa says. “After all, with Venus putting a spotlight on everything from their seductive charms to their desire for fun and adventure this season, a fun bag with some sparkle in a utilitarian material like denim will perfectly complement their larger-than-life personality.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

We sense Virgo might be looking for a reset this spring, which means they’ll need the right bag to help keep everything together. This sign is all about form and structure as a practical Earth sign, so a sleek carryall is the way to go.

“With Venus touching their relationship sector and wrapping up the season in their ninth house of expansion, this bag serves as the perfect companion to help Virgo stay on top of their busy schedule,” Mesa says. “Spacious but also sophisticated, the carry-all bag seamlessly blends functionality with elegance, offering this Earth sign the perfect solution for everything from everyday tasks to exciting new ventures.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This season, as always, a Libra is looking for balance. That means they need a bag that can do it all — and still look gorgeous. Plus, a Libra loves to be on trend. A belted bag ticks all the boxes and should make any Libra happy this season.

“This spring, a belted bag is the perfect accessory to reflect their love for both structure and beauty,” Mesa says. “With Venus enhancing their focus on relationships, personal connections and day-to-day affairs this season, this bag’s elegant shape and subtle sophistication allow this Air sign to maintain grace and poise while navigating their personal life.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Leave it to Scorpio to be a little daring. You’ll rarely catch this sign carrying a boring bag or being a wallflower. If this is you, you’re going to want to pick a striking print for your spring bag, and if snakeskin isn’t already in your closet, that’s your winner.

“Scorpios are governed by polarizing Pluto, and a snakeskin print bag perfectly embodies their mysterious magnetism,” Mesa says. “This is especially true with Venus lighting up their fifth house of creativity, sixth house of routines and relationship sector this spring, as it brings an element of boldness to their spring look.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sagittarius should absolutely lean into their free-spirited nature as spring rolls in and go on an adventure. Once those temperatures rise, head outdoors and enjoy it. You’ll need a fashionably functional bag for that, though, of course! There’s no need to get yet another hiking backpack (we know you already have several). Instead, invest in one that doubles as one you can use for work.

“When considering their spontaneous and free-spirited nature, a backpack serves as the perfect addition to this Fire sign’s go-to look,” Mesa says. “With Venus emphasizing their emotional landscape and heart’s desires this season, this bag becomes more than a practical accessory — it offers Sagittarius the freedom and flexibility needed to follow their passions wherever they lead.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s your time to shine, Capricorn! You did it! We know you’ve probably considered many (many, many) times investing in a bag with sparkles or a bright color and just been so unsure if it was really you. The stars are finally aligning in your favor. Life is short — buy the fun bag!

“Despite being known for their boss moves and leadership qualities, Capricorns are embracing a fresh perspective this spring,” Mesa says. “This is partly thanks to Venus retrograde and its undeniable influence over this Earth sign’s perspective and personal life. With its vibrant hues and effervescence, a pop of color supports and complements Capricorn’s evolving approach to self-expression, as they are typically more structured and disciplined. Cheers to embracing more fun and creativity this season!”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarians are truly one of a kind, and we can always count on an Aquarius in our life to bring a spark. This season, though, the Air sign is going for a more chill vibe and needs a sophisticated bag to match. We’re feeling a suede vibe for you, and while it doesn’t usually scream spring, we like it for you for the unexpected factor it brings.

“Governed by eccentric Uranus — the planet of chaos, rebellion and unconventionality — Aquarius is all about their individual freedom, but with Venus emphasizing everything from their self-worth to their personal expression this season, a soft suede bag serves as the perfect accessory to complement their unique style,” Mesa says.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The keyword for Pisces this season is effortless. You want a bag that works with every outfit all the time. It holds everything but still has structure. It’s practical. It never goes out of style. You guessed it: a bucket bag.

“Spacious, practical and effortlessly chic, a sleek bucket bag perfectly suits Pisces’ introspective mood this spring season, allowing them to tap into their artsy side while having room for their essentials,” Mesa says.
