fall backgrounds for all your tech devices

It's easy to get into the fall spirit when you surround yourself with cozy throw blankets and spooky Halloween decor.

Whether you're always on the go or you're always on your laptop (or both), take some of that seasonal spirit with you. Download these free backgrounds for your laptop, your next Zoom call, and your phone so you can have fall vibes with you all the time.

If curating a fall garden (and using the produce to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies or Beet Hummus Bowls) is one of your favorite things about the season, then welcome autumn with this fruit and veg background.

This background, complete with a fall color palette, is perfect for free spirits and people who love all things groovy.

As the leaves change colors and eventually fall to the ground, we're reminded that things must change in order to make room for new growth.

With the same retro pattern (and some added pink that Barbie would be proud of), this background is a nod to fall that still works once the other seasons come back around. Keep scrolling for these super-cute fall backdrops for all your devices!

Once those light, night breezes start to hit, there's nothing I look forward to more than picking out seasonal decor.

And where else do you go for seasonal items other than Target? It's the spot to find all things autumnal, all at once.

So, let's switch out your used, old comforters and replace them with new, and perfectly seasonal ones that will get you right into the fall spirit! Keep reading to see all of our faves!

Target

Orange Gingham Comforter

I don't think you could get any more fall than this perfect, orange gingham set. It comes with a comforter and two cute, matching shams to go along with it. If this cozy bedding doesn't get you right into the fall spirit, then I don't know what will! BRB, adding this one to my cart right away.

Target

Chenille Comforter Set

I have been obsessing over all things boucle lately, and I think this chenille comforter definitely fits that bill. It looks exactly like boucle couches that can't stop eyeing lately, and I have to say...I'm obsessed. The texture and color are so appealing for the fall season. It's giving all the soft and cozy goodness!

Target

Boho Reversible Comforter

Cottagecore has entered the chat with this green, floral design! The cool thing about this whimsical set? It's reversible! So, if you ever get tired of the design, you can simply flip it over, and you have a brand new comforter! We love the versatility!

Target

Cross Stitch Bedspread

For some reason, I end up always going for comforters that have a bit of texture. I just love how cozy they feel, while also adding a fun, unique vibe to the room. This cross stitch comforter has an amazing feel — and it's also massive! This bedding will definitely keep you warm and cozy during the fall and winter months.

Target

Micro Texture Comforter

When it comes to this bedding, you're getting a FANTASTIC deal. It includes: 1 comforter, 2 decorative pillows, 2 Euro shams, 2 pillowcases, 2 pillow shams, 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 1 bedskirt. Isn't that insane?! You're getting so many items for only $80. Now that's something I can get into — especially when it's in this moody green.

Target

Green Floral Set

This dreamy bedding set is giving me all the whimsical, fairy princess vibes — and I love that for fall! It reminds me of greenery, and the change of seasons (which makes it perfect for this roundup). The set comes with a comforter and two shams, as well! I love a multi-pack deal!

Target

Cotton Voile Quilt

Quilts are really durable and thick, so they help trap in the heat to make sure you're extra warm on any of those chillier nights! I love the simple, autumnal pattern here that feels so perfect for the season, but could honestly still work all year round if you need it to.

Target

Chenille Green Comforter Set

This shade of green is a nice alternative to your typical fall colors like deep reds, burnt oranges, or mustard yellows. This hue gives your room a warm, mild, comforting feel that's perfect for those fall nights where you just wanna cozy up with a book and call it a day. I also tend to lean more towards these color palettes, because they pair really well with a variety of styles and woods that may be in your bedroom.

Target

Threshold Merrow Stitch Comforter

I can practically smell the pumpkin spiced candle that I would light on my bedside table right next to this beauty. The rustic, orange color matched with the white trim is just what you need this autumn. I love how simple and elegant this bedding is, ensuring it will last for seasons to come. Pull out this timeless Target bedding year after year to spruce up your space!

Target

Heather Stripe Comforter

Lighter colors aren't just for spring and summer! If you're more of a simple gal, then this bedding could be a great new addition to your room. The gauzy feel is so cozy to wrap up in, while still adding some added texture to your space for an interesting visual element. If you get this one, then throw in some fall-themed pillows to add a bit of fun to the otherwise simple, and all-season design!

Target

Voile Althea Quilt

This one is giving me all the Secret Garden vibes with the florals and butterflies scattering the print. Its vintage design gives this bedding a timeless look that will have people asking you where you thrifted — or inherited it — from! But alas, it was from Target. Grab this one fast, because I have a feeling this cute option will sell out ASAP!

I am the opposite of a casual Reputation fan. Four of my five most-listened-to songs on Spotify (like, of all time) are from the 2017 album, I wore a Rep-inspired outfit to my Eras Tour show, and I am constantly analyzing (and talking about) its symbolism. I stand by the fact that this album, as misunderstood as it is, is actually the key to understanding Taylor Swift herself, which is why its rerelease is the one I've been most looking forward to. With TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit, it feels like there's a new theory every day about when we'll get Reputation (Taylor's Version), but I'm pretty sure Taylor's been telling us the announcement date for awhile.

When is Taylor Swift releasing Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

The cappuccino Easter egg from the "Karma" music video.

We don't have an official Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date yet, but all signs were originally pointing to an announcement on February 16, 2024. When the music video for "Karma" from Midnights came out, featuring a shot of Taylor holding a cappuccino, Swifties clocked that the blue nail (which represents 1989 (Taylor's Version)) lines up with the 8 on the clock, and the black nail lines up with the 2. Taylor ended up announcing 1989 TV on August 9 — and then announced The Tortured Poets Department(also known as TS11) at the 2024 Grammys in February!

The latest theory revolves around an August 20 announcement and September 13 drop. After Taylor was spotted in a semi-green 'fit with a Vivienne Westwood Tuesday bag, fans began wondering if it was a clue for a Tuesday album announcement. The last Tuesday show in London is Tuesday, August 20, which is also the last show until October. This would be the perfect amount of time for Taylor to have announced the album and to drop it on September 13, which is the second to last Friday the 13th of the year!

The other Friday the 13th is December 13, which is Taylor Swift's birthday. The popstar had the date front and center in her Tortured Poets Department pop-up installation. Since the date falls on a Friday, it's the perfect day to drop some new music...If you ask me, that's when we're getting Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) — because there is literally no better combo than Taylor's birthday, Friday the 13th, and Taylor taking her name back.

Are there any other clues that Reputation (Taylor's Version) will come out next?

Taylor Swift attends the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 07, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.

At her first NFL appearance of 2024, for the KC Chiefs' season opener on Thursday September 5, Taylor Swift wore a denim corset and shorts set with bold, thigh-high red boots. Fans immediately made the connection between this 'fit and what Taylor wears in the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video. This is like a wink from Taylor — I don't think she's giving us direct clues about Reputation (Taylor's Version), but it feels like a reminder that the album is still on its way!

Taylor also showed up to the 81st Golden Globe Awards in an all green ensemble, which is already so Reputation-coded to begin with. However, fans noticed one teeeeeeeny tiny detail about her look that really leans into all the theories that Rep (TV) is next. If you zoom in on her rings, one of them is a snake that's wrapped around her finger. 🐍

And after Taylor Swift released a video teasing her new album(TTPD), Swifties are analyzing all the snakeskin patterns (on the curtains, the floor, and the green couch), as well as the dark visuals. While the video moves from the dark room to a bright one for TTPD, I'm convinced we'll be returning — or continuing down the hallway where you can see a dark picture frame waiting for us...

A recent Disney+ ad that paired the Eras Tour film and Disney Pixar's Cars went viral on Twitter because its tagline is "Getaway Car," one of the most beloved songs on Reputation (Taylor's Version)! No matter when the album drops, having Taylor Swift's final two re-recordings be her name and her reputation is literally so iconic and I can't wait to listen.

What Taylor Swift songs are on Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

We know that, based on previous re-recordings, Reputation (Taylor's Version) will have the original tracklist and an unknown number of vault tracks that Taylor wrote ahead of the Reputation era. PEOPLE also confirmed we'll be able to hear Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" in the new docuseries for the New England Patriots! You can also hear a snippet in the trailer for Ashley Benson's Wilderness ;). Simone Biles also used "Ready For It?" in her Olympics floor routine!

Here's what you can expect on Taylor Swift's Reputation (Taylor's Version). I'm really hoping the vault tracks include "I Don't Want To Live Forever"!

  1. "Ready For It? (Taylor's Version)"
  2. "End Game (Taylor's Version)"
  3. "I Did Something Bad (Taylor's Version)"
  4. "Don't Blame Me (Taylor's Version)"
  5. "Delicate (Taylor's Version)"
  6. "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)"
  7. "So It Goes... (Taylor's Version)"
  8. "Gorgeous (Taylor's Version)"
  9. "Getaway Car (Taylor's Version)"
  10. "King Of My Heart (Taylor's Version)"
  11. "Dancing With Our Hands Tied (Taylor's Version)"
  12. "Dress (Taylor's Version)"
  13. "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Taylor's Version)"
  14. "Call It What You Want (Taylor's Version)"
  15. "New Year's Day (Taylor's Version)"

What is Taylor Swift wearing to Grammys 2024?

Image via Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy

Taylor Swift showed up to the 2024 Grammys in a sculptural white gown from Schiaparelli Couture. I love how Taylor has hopped on the corset trend. This is my favorite neckline in recent years! Even though the dress is white instead of black or green — and ended up going along with the Tortured Poets Department (or TS 11) announcement — I think it could still be a Reputation (Taylor's Version) Easter egg.

White is, of course, the opposite of black, so I think it's a more unexpected reference to the album, with black accessories like gloves, shoes, and jewelry being a direct nod. Plus, the watch necklace pays homage to Midnights! At the 2022 VMAs, Taylor wore another Reputation-coded outfit before she announced Midnights, so it could be a pattern.

Is there gonna be a Reputation Taylor's Version?

Taylor Swift performs at Optus Stadium on October 19, 2018 in Perth, Australia.

Yes, we're getting a Reputation (Taylor's Version)! Taylor Swift has been very vocal about the fact she's rerecording her first five albums. However, she's been less direct about the order or the release schedule, which is honestly more fun! The official Taylor Nation account added fuel to the fire when they posted a photo of Taylor rehearsing for The Eras Tour — because, like @nashs_mom on TikTok says, the pose doesn't match up with any of the songs.

While all the photos they've previously posted match up with numbers like "Enchanted" or "Illicit Affairs," the new pose seems to match up with "I Did Something Bad" (which is both the last Reputation surprise song left AND the perfect song to announce the rerecording).

What caused Taylor Swift to make Reputation?

Cover art for Kanye West's The Life Of Pablo, which features "Famous."

The primary catalyst for Taylor Swift's Reputation era was a phone call with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. After Taylor said Kanye did not have her permission to say he "made that b-tch famous" in "Famous," a video leak from Kim seemed to show Taylor did actually give her permission (it was later revealed the video was edited, and Taylor gave her permission to be mentioned, NOT to be called a b-tch).

"#TaylorSwiftIsOverParty" began trending on Twitter, and everyone from the media to the general public began calling her a snake. So she disappeared from the public eye for over a year, and Reputation was born. The era was moody — and full of snake imagery. Taylor says in her TIME interview that the album came from "a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure," and told Rolling Stone in 2019 that Reputation was a "metaphor" and her "playing a character."

How old was Taylor when she wrote Reputation?

Charli XCX, Camila Cabello and Taylor Swift perform onstage during opening night of Taylor Swift's 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour at University of Phoenix Stadium on May 8, 2018 in Glendale, Arizona.

Taylor began writing Reputation in 2016, when she was 27. However, the stories she's telling go back farther than that since "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" talks about a relationship from when she was 25.

Is Reputation a love album?

Image via Big Machine Records

Cover art for Taylor Swift's Reputation.

While Reputation is sassy, moody, and satirical, I stand by the idea that it's actually a love album at its core. While the general public talked most about "Ready for It?" and "Look What You Made Me Do," songs like "Delicate," "Call It What You Want," and "New Year's Day" are all about healing after the media turned against her. The message of the album is all about how she wants to spend the the ins and outs of life with people she loves, because they make the boring days beautiful, which is also the sentiment running throughout "Lover."

"I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day" and "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January" are the same!!

What are the Reputation Taylor's Version vault tracks?

Image via Warner Bros. Entertainment

A Horcrux from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I

While we don't have the tracklist for Reputation (Taylor's Version) yet, she did mention in her TIME interview that the vault tracks will be "fire."

"I’m collecting horcruxes,” she says of the rerecordings. “I’m collecting infinity stones. Gandalf’s voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.”

I'm going to be real honest, this is the line that sent me into a tailspin because the idea that Taylor loves stories like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the MCU as much as I do is too much!! But it makes sense because after all, she IS a storyteller.

We’re always on the hunt for the best pieces of Gilmore Girls merch, but when I saw the adorable new target fall decor, I IMMEDIATELY started thinking about what Lorelei and Rory would want in 2024. Because I have no doubt that the Gilmore girls would be all over Target today (and would make frequent trips to Hartford just to look around the store). While Rory's aesthetic leans more cozy & classic academia, Lorelai is eclectic & kitschy modern, and Target has plenty of options for this alternate Gilmore Girls reality — and for any GG fan who prefers low-key merch.

Target

Storied Home Resin Pinecone Bookends

My favorite seasonal decor hack is to switch out my year-round pieces for autumnal versions. And Rory would love keeping her books in order with fall bookends! These bronze resin pinecone bookends offer texture, dimension, and richness to any bookshelf.

Target

Stoneware I Woof You Mug

In honor of Paul Anka, I had to include a mug honoring Woman's Best Friend. Lorelai is the ultimate dog mom, and wouldn't be able to say no to this microwave- and dishwasher-safe design. Especially since it's only $7!

Target

Harvest Fall Leaves Gnome Figurine

Speaking of things Lorelai definitely wouldn't be able to say no to, she would jump at the chance to buy this gnome. While it'd make sense to give it to Babette, I could also see Lorelai keeping it in her home, but moving it to a different location every time Luke or Emily visits.

Target

Wood Ghost Sign Halloween Decorative Sculpture

Stars Hollow's Halloween celebrations strike a balance between spooky and spoofy (and they're never outright horrifying). This cutesy ghost is perfect because it's lightweight AND you can display it with an easel or a cord loop. Talk about versatile!

Target

Ceramic Teal Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin

When it comes to pumpkins and Jack-o-Lanterns, I'm convinced Lorelai would opt for something colorful and goofy like this 5-inch teal pumpkin. The frosted detail also reminds me of snow, which would make Lorelai SO happy.

Target

Medium Glass Pumpkin Figurine

Rory would choose a variety of glass pumpkins in different colors, heights, and shapes! I love how this champagne pumpkin adds the right amount of autumn vibes without overpowering the rest of the decor.

Target

Magnolia and Olive Artificial Wreath

Wreaths aren't just for the holidays! A fall wreath gives the same amount of cozy vibes that every Gilmore Girls episode gives us, and the green + brown leaf combo means it'll go with cool-toned and warm-toned decor palettes! Plus, I know for a fact Emily would love the bow.

Target

Stoneware Salt Cellar

There’s something chic and autumnal about farmhouse decor, which target has PLENTY of. Grabbing a salt cellar that says “salt” on it is exactly the kind of thing Lorelai would buy just because it confuses Luke. This item is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning!

Target

Raised Striped Chunky Knit Throw Blanket

For all those pizza nights with The Donna Reed Show, Lorelai and Rory would absolutely need a nice blanket or two to curl up with. I think Lorelai would totally opt for something comfortable that’s also bright and colorful.

Target

Velvet Oval Shaped Throw Pillow with Tufted Center

And a simple pillow with an interesting shape and interesting fabric? The Gilmore girls would want one for every room!

Target

Preserved Fall Floral Cloche Artificial Grass

As someone who loves scale models and terrariums I'm obsessed with this fall floral cloche! It's so colorful and textured, and it has a sort of controlled chaos that Rory would love. It'll look beautiful on a bedroom shelf or on top of a stack of classic books.

Target

Flower Print Framed Dorm Wall Art

Not a huge fan of the amber-rust-gold fall color palette? If you prefer to march to the beat of your own drum (just like Lorelai!), add a splash of color to your space with an unconventional artwork choice. Who says pink isn't a fall color?

I've struggled with flat, lifeless hair my entire life. It gets greasy super easily (especially since I play with it so often. Oops!), and even on the days I spend an hour curling it, any ounce of humidity or rain sends it back to its natural, stick-straight state. But when I brought this up to the Brit + Co team while describing my dream short hairstyle, they showed me the one product I'd never tried before: texturizing spray! Since adding this hack to my routine, my hair has completely changed — and my confidence has skyrocketed. Here are some common FAQ's about texturizing sprays, and the best texture sprays to try the next time your thin hair needs some extra oomph!

What does a texturizing spray do?

Elina Sazonova/Pexels

A texture spray offers texture, hold, and volume to flat or thin hair. We'd recommend saving it as the last step in your hair routine (after you've dried it or applied heat). Just hold it about a foot away from your hair and spray it directly into your strands! You can apply it normally, or flip your head upside down for even more volume, and I like to run my fingers through my hair afterwards.

What is the difference between texture spray and hairspray?

neomi drewel/Pexels

Hairspray has always been used to hold hairstyles (and flyaways) in place for a perfect, shiny finished look. Texture spray is a little more flexible and gritty. And sometimes you strike gold by finding a texturizing hair spray!

Is texturizing spray the same as volumizing spray?

Luis Quintero/Pexels

Yes, volumizing spray and texturizing spray can be used interchangeably.

Kristin Ess Hair Dry Finish Working Texture Spray

Amazon

This texturizing spray has totally transformed my hair. I just add a little bit to the middle and ends of my hair in the morning, run my fingers through it, and I'm good to go! It gives my hair shape and hold it's literally never had before.

Kenra Platinum Dry Texture Spray 6

Amazon

This texturizing spray both gives your hair volume and soaks up oil and impurities. The best part is that it's lightweight so your hair will feel as well as look effortless.

amika Rising Star Volumizing Finishing Spray

Sephora

Not only is this bottle super cute, but this hair product features a clean ingredient list AND is cruelty free. And not only does it offer volume, but it protects your hair from heat too!

SGX NYC The Do-It-All 3-in-1 Dry Texture Spray

Target

Whether you use it in the morning or in between work and happy hour, this spray will refresh your hair no matter what time it is! The citrus, fruit, and warm woods fragrance makes us smile almost as much as the fact SGX never tests on animals.

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray

Amazon

Any beach kid will tell you the best your hair will ever look is right after you come out of the ocean. Recreate some of that magic (and make summer last all year long!) with this sea salt texturizing spray. This trio is on sale for $16!

Drybar Triple Sec 3-in-1 Texturizing Spray

Sephora

Get your own at-home blowout when you use Drybar's texturizing finishing spray on your 'do. It's sulfate-free and works on every single hair type.

VERB Volume Dry Texture Spray

Target

You don't have to worry about dry or crunchy hair with this texturizing spray, thanks to its nourishing pro-vitamin b5 and aloe vera.

CHI Infra Texture Dual Hair Spray

Amazon

If you want a two-in-one hair product, opt for a texture hairspray. This pick promises to give your hair beautiful shine and movement without any of the build up or flakiness you might find with other products. Yes, please!

Bumble and bumble Thickening Dryspun Volume Texturizing Spray

Sephora

This spray is great for thin hair AND thinning hair. Its 4-star rating caught my eye (especially since it has almost 2 thousand reviews) as well as the fact it'll instantly give your hair 40 percent more volume!

Living Proof Full Dry Volume Texture Spray

Target

One of the frustrating parts of having straight, thin hair is how easily clips, ponytail holders, and ribbons slide out. But with a nice dose of texture spray, that problem goes away!

ColorWow Texturizing Spray

Amazon

Not only does this product provide your hair with sexy texture, but it also doesn't cloud your hair color, meaning your style can be as vibrant as it deserves!

Welcome back, Upper East Siders. When the leaves turn orange and coats start to be brought out of storage, it’s a sure sign that Gossip Girlseason is upon us once again. And what better way to ring in fall than to figure out which iconic Gossip Girlcharacter you are based on your zodiac sign?

I’ve typed twelve of the Upper East Side’s most familiar faces based on a combination of their official birthdays and the personalities they exhibit throughout the show. A lot of the time, the two happen to be perfectly aligned (I’m convinced Blair’s birthday was chosen on purpose). Strap on a headband and your cutest stilettos; it’s time to walk down Fifth Avenue and meet your Gossip Girl astrological match. XOXO, Brit + Co.

Warner Bros. Television

Aries: Jenny Humphrey

As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is full of unbridled optimism. Jenny Humphrey thought she could be Constance’s new queen bee, get away with cutting school with a full-time internship, and launch a highly successful fashion career as a high school sophomore — that’s pretty much the definition of blind optimism. Jenny’s spunky, outspoken, and unafraid to ruffle a lot of feathers to get what she wants. Her red-hot spark is something to be admired.

Giovanni Rufino

Taurus: Dan Humphrey

Dan Humphrey may have the keen analytical eye of a Virgo, but he’s got the taste for luxury of a Taurus. He prides himself on being down to earth, yet he can’t resist getting close to that famed Upper East Side glamor. He’s stubborn when it comes to love, which may explain why he keeps going back to Serena time and time again. Some may call it silly; Dan calls it stable.

Warner Bros. Television

Gemini: Georgina Sparks

You’ve got to hand it to Georgina — she knows how to transform herself into whoever she needs to be whenever she wants. She can be a total darling at one minute and deliciously wicked the next. Geminis like her are more than just “two-faced,” though; they’re also quick-witted, restless, and spontaneous. It’s what makes them so fun to watch.

Warner Bros. Television

Cancer: Nate Archibald

Nate is the Golden Retriever of the Gossip Girl boys. He’s popular, laidback, loyal, and compassionate. This rich boy next door wears his heart on his sleeve and is always willing to lend a hand to a friend in need. But don’t take advantage of this crab’s kindness. If you do Nate dirty, he’ll protect himself behind his tough outer shell, and it’ll take a lot to regain his trust.

Warner Bros. Television

Leo: Serena van der Woodsen

There’s only one zodiac sign iconic enough for the Upper East Side’s "It" Girl: Leo. Serena craves being in the spotlight – so much so that she’s been known to act a little wild just for some attention. She’s also incredibly warm and loyal to those she loves (until she feels threatened). Her magnetic presence lights up any room she walks into, just like you, Leo.

Warner Bros. Television

Virgo: Dorota Kishlovsky

Blair’s ride-or-die maid, Dorota, is a Virgo. Her moral compass might not always align with Blair’s schemes, but her sharp mind plays a crucial role in helping them succeed. She’s a supportive, hardworking friend who always has others’ best interests at heart and never hesitates to take action on their behalf.

Warner Bros. Television

Libra: Lily van der Woodsen

Lily is the definition of luxury. She’s a woman of high class with high tastes, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. But her elegance isn’t the only thing that makes her a Libra. She’s also got Libras’ hallmark ability to charm a room and get along with nearly everyone, which comes in handy when cleaning up her daughter’s (and her own) messes. Aesthetics are everything, so she’ll take a rain check on the emotional soul-baring, ‘kay?

Warner Bros. Television

Scorpio: Blair Waldorf

Cunning, romantic, ambitious, and sensitive: Blair Waldorf carries these traits with the pride of carrying a Birkin bag. Blair is canonically a Scorpio, and the sign couldn’t be more fitting. She’s highly strategic and calculating, which makes reaching her goals and exacting revenge on her enemies that much more satisfying. She places a high value on sex and love and is willing to wait as long as it takes for a man who meets her extremely high standards.

Warner Bros. Television

Sagittarius: Rufus Humphrey

Rufus’s birthday is December 7, making him a Sagittarius. He definitely lived up to the fun-loving nature of his sign during his rock ‘n’ roll years, but as he got older, he chilled out a lot more. As long as he has his art gallery, his guitar, and his daydreams about things finally working out with Lily, he’s all set. Play some Lincoln Hawk and make some waffles in honor of your GG twin, Sag.

Warner Bros. Television

Capricorn: Chuck Bass

Blunt yet smooth-talking Chuck Bass was born on January 19, which makes him a Capricorn. He certainly embodies the stereotypical hard-working nature of the sign; he’s a businessman first and a teenager second. His party-boy ways are actually in line with the fun, often hidden side of Capricorn, as is the loyalty he reserves for those lucky enough to be let into his inner circle.

Warner Bros. Television

Aquarius: Vanessa Abrams

As a social justice-loving Aquarius, Vanessa’s actively trying to make the world a better place. She doesn’t tolerate anyone’s BS, especially from anyone who lives on the UES, and she isn’t afraid to tell them to their face. She’s got a strong moral compass, a drive to tell the truth, and a strong appreciation for the arts, all three of which are highly important to Aquariuses.

Warner Bros. Television

Pisces: Eric van der Woodsen

Eric van der Woodsen is probably the most easygoing character on Gossip Girl. All he’s ever wanted is for everyone to get along. He often pushes his own needs and concerns aside for the sake of his friends and family, as Pisceans tend to do. At his best, Eric is witty, supportive, intuitive, and wise.
