Whether you're a stationery guru or rookie, your zodiac sign will help you choose which stationery item to try!


Aries: March 21 — April 19

Taurus: April 20 — May 20

A Taurus needs a practical and reliable tool that they can use frequently. The Mono Eraser is an essential in every Taurean's stationery collection as it erases clearly without ghosting and ripping your paper. The superb quality of this eraser makes it an effective tool for many different uses, from artwork to schoolwork. If you prefer a different design, the Mono Eraser also comes in a more compact design.

Gemini: May 21 — June 20

Although not all washi tape is Japanese, the patterns from Japan offer creative alternatives to other tapes. Washi tape meets the needs of the adaptable yet balanced Gemini because it comes in so many diverse shapes, colors and designs. The washi tape can be used in bullet journals, agendas, notebooks, wall decorations and much more!

Cancer: June 21 — July 22

Muji gel ink pens are an essential for every Cancer's stationery collection. Cancers value tradition and loyalty which the Muji gel ink pens replicate through their quality. These pens are known for their classic, minimalistic design as well as their smooth ink flow and pigmented color. A Cancer will definitely appreciate the chance to experiment with their artistic side as well as to use these pens for journaling or writing.

Leo: July 23 — Aug. 22

The Zebra Mildliners are and (will be) a Leo's favorite stationery item because of their color range and vividness! These highlighters come in three different packs of 5 highlighters each; these packs are divided into the pastel, warm and cool colors. Each highlighter also comes with two tips — a marker side and a conventional highlighter side. With so many options, it gives a Leo many ways to express their vibrant personalities!

Virgo: Aug. 23 — Sept. 22

Because Virgos are introspective, intuitive and intense, they need a place to contain all their thoughts, observations and ideas. Try journaling or some other meditative practice to help pin down your great thoughts. A Muji A6 notebook is a great place to jot down notes or designs and provides lots of room as it comes in a pack of five notebooks. There are also other sizes available which are more suitable for other major aspects of a Virgo's life, such as school or work.

Libra: Sept. 23 — Oct. 22

The white color scheme and the minimalistic design are also compatible with many different preferences.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 — Dec. 21

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that?
