Decor
For Astrology party decor, why, signs of the zodiac. Focus on the birthday girl or use all of them. Paint or cut out the signs of the zodiac and hang them up in the room.

All signs of the zodiac are associated with certain colors. Leo (think Leo the lion) is yellow and orange. Pisces (the fish) are ocean colors: blue, turquoise, green.

Candles add warmth and a magical atmosphere.

Activities for your Astrology party
This, too, is easy. Bring in an astrologer to give short readings to the guests. For more information about how and where to find one go to my page on hiring a suitable astrologer for a party.

Or if you prefer you can expand on themes suggested by your child's sign of the zodiac.
