Pottery Horoscopes: What Does Your Clay Choice Say About You?

Welcome to this month’s Pottery Horoscope, where we take a completely unscientific but deeply heartfelt approach to matching pottery forms with moods, personalities, and the general energy you’re putting out into the world. Are you feeling like a sturdy tea mug, a delicate vase, or a rebellious little wonky pot today? Read on and find out.

☕ The Sturdy, No-Nonsense Tea Mug

Mood: Craving comfort, warmth, and possibly a second breakfast.
Vibe: You woke up with good intentions, but now you just want to curl up with something hot and soothing. This is a day for deep chats, nostalgic playlists, and staring wistfully out the window as you contemplate life’s mysteries (or just what to make for dinner). You’re steady, reliable, and probably the person people come to when they need advice—or a reality check.

🔮 Pottery Prediction: Make space for slow moments today. Wrap your hands around something warm, wear your softest jumper, and lean into that homebody energy.

🍜 The Generous, Overflowing Noodle Bowl

Mood: Slightly chaotic, but in a loving way.
Vibe: You’re brimming with enthusiasm, ideas, and possibly three different projects at once. You start your day thinking you’ll be focused, but by lunchtime, you’ve somehow committed to organising a local event, deep-cleaning the pantry, and baking something elaborate just for fun. Your energy is abundant, your heart is big, and your to-do list is ambitious.

🔮 Pottery Prediction: Channel that energy wisely—maybe finish one thing before starting three more. And don’t forget to actually eat lunch in that beautiful bowl instead of just admiring it.

🌿 The Elegant, Thoughtful Vase

Mood: Dreamy, introspective, and ever so slightly wistful.
Vibe: You’re in a reflective phase, drawn to poetry, long walks, and maybe pressing autumn leaves between the pages of a book. People might think you’re mysterious, but really, you’re just deeply invested in your inner world. Today is a day for quiet beauty—watching how the light shifts in the afternoon, sipping something floral, and maybe arranging some wildflowers just because.

🔮 Pottery Prediction: Let yourself lean into beauty today. Notice small details, write something in a journal, or gift someone a heartfelt compliment—it’ll mean more than you know.

🌀 The Wonky, Perfectly Imperfect Pot

Mood: Embracing the mess, and kind of loving it.
Vibe: You’re feeling free-spirited, creative, and possibly just a little bit rebellious. Conventional wisdom? Overrated. You’d rather carve your own path, even if that means getting a little lost along the way. Maybe you’re making up a recipe as you go, or wearing mismatched socks on purpose. Either way, you’re proof that perfection is overrated and personality is everything.

🔮 Pottery Prediction: Follow your instincts today. Make something just for the joy of it, say yes to the unexpected, and trust that even the wobbliest moments have their own charm.

☀️ The Wide, Open Serving Platter

Mood: Social, generous, and ready to bring people together.
Vibe: You’re the person who always knows what’s happening in the group chat. If someone’s feeling down, you’re the first to organise a gathering, a meal, or a spontaneous adventure. Today is about connection—sharing stories, making plans, and maybe even hosting a casual get-together (which will somehow turn into a beautifully arranged spread worthy of a magazine).

🔮 Pottery Prediction: Lean into your gift for bringing people together. Send that invitation, set the table, and enjoy the warmth of good company.

So, which pottery piece are you today? Let me know—because honestly, I want to know if my noodle bowl people are out there starting five projects at once or if my sturdy tea mugs have settled in with a good book.

And if you’re feeling inspired to find a new piece that matches your current mood, you know where to look (hint: the Autumn Rain collection is coming soon).
