We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Aries by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Ram to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Mars.
Aries is the first of the 12 signs of the zodiac, marking the beginning of the zodiac calendar. It is unsurprising, therefore, that those born under it tend to be enterprising, energetic and often impulsive. It is represented by fire, an appropriate element when it comes to defining the active, fiery character of your typical Aries.
Mars, this sign’s ruling planet, is fourth in terms of distance from the sun and, in astrology, symbolises the desire and ability to get things done. It is usually associated with traits such as pride, competition, drive and energy, characteristics that define the Aries sign.
Mars is generally portrayed in an intense tone of red so we chose Travertino Rosso, a stunning stone with waves of colour ranging from soft red to more vibrant hues for our Gravity Zodiac Aries piece.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Taurus by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Bull to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Venus.
Representing Earth, Taurus is a gentle, affectionate sign and those born under it tend to cherish family ties. Tauruses tend to be highly pragmatic and, unlike others born under Earth signs, prefer certainty over uncertainty. This may cause jealousy, not only of people but also of material objects.
Venus is the second planet of the solar system in terms of distance from the sun and is associated with love and sensuality. It represents our affectionate side, our sentiments, diplomacy, sexuality and artistic inclination.
Venus’s colour palette ranges from yellow-white through to reddish-brown, and we chose to bring it to life through Giallo Siena, a highly prized marble with its uniform dark yellow background and nuances that evoke the planet with variations such as ivory, ochre and deep red.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Gemini by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Twins to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Mercury.
Gemini is the first of the Zodiac’s double signs, the others being Libra and Pisces, and more than any other, it personifies duality. Those born under this sign tend to have open minds and excellent communication skills, making them curious, savvy and smart.
Mercury is the planet of intellect, a calculated approach and logic. It represents individual intelligence, a thirst for learning, mental clarity, a critical spirit and agility. Its colour ranges from dark blue to white, via various shades of grey, so for Gravity Zodiac Gemini we selected one of our very own marbles, our beloved Gris du Marais® with its dappled grey surface.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Cancer by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Crab to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, which in this case is the moon.
Cancer is the first of the water signs and is generally kind, empathetic and accommodating. Cancers tend to be highly intuitive, emotional and maternal.
The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and in astrology is represented as the planet aligned with the subconscious and our feminine, receptive side. It is generally associated with emotional aspects such as imagination, instinct, sensitivity, childhood and memory.
To reinterpret the white, grey, silver and cream hues of the moon, we chose Travertino Aurora, a gorgeous soft, warm stone in shades of beige marked by pale waves of veining.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Leo by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Lion to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, which in this case is the sun.
Leo, a fire sign, is associated with strength, as is Aries, but here, determination is balanced by a dose of compassion. Main characteristics include self-assurance and the power that this brings.
In astrology, the sun is the most important planet in the entire solar system. The polar opposite of the moon, it represents the masculine side in each of us, expressed through our individuality and personality.
To capture the yellow, orange and red hues of the sun, we chose Travertino Giallo, with its pleasingly uniform yellow-orange colouring for Gravity Zodiac Leo.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Virgo by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Twins to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Mercury.
Virgo, an earth sign, is dominated by Mercury and shares characteristics with Gemini, such as intelligence. Virgos are often considered extremely precise, bordering on perfectionists.
Mercury is the planet of intellect, a calculated approach and logic. The closest planet to the sun, it represents mental clarity, astuteness and a spirited approach.
Its colour ranges from dark blue to white, via various shades of grey, so for Gravity Zodiac Gemini we selected one of our very own marbles, our beloved Gris du Marais® with its dappled grey surface.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Libra by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Scales to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Venus.
Libra is the second air sign and is renowned for spontaneity, practicality and measured behaviour. Other traits include a strong sense of fairness, innate elegance and an appreciation of beauty in all its forms.
Its ruling planet, Venus, is synonymous with love and sensuality and imparts impeccable taste and sense of style. Signs under Venus tend to be associated with artistic inclinations, tact, sensitivity and sentiments.
Venus’s colour cannot be easily categorised as it can range from yellow-white through to reddish-brown, so we chose to interpret Gravity Zodiac Libra through Giallo Siena, a highly sought-after marble with a gorgeous deep yellow uniform shade.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Scorpio by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Scorpion to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Pluto.
Like the other water signs of the Zodiac, Scorpios are prone to strong emotions, but often keep them under wraps. They tend to be somewhat mysterious, but are also extremely open and intuitive, making it hard to hide anything from them.
It is no surprise that Pluto is the ruling planet. God of the underworld in mythology, in astrology, Pluto represents transformation and the unknown or subconscious.
On the surface, Pluto’s colour hovers between coal black and white, via an orange-like hue. For our Gravity Zodiac Scorpio, we chose the eternal Botticino, a marble long revered for is low absorbency and compactness.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Sagittarius by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Twins to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Jupiter.
Sagittarius is a fire sign and embodies the power and heat associated with this element. Fiercely loyal and trusting, your typical Sagittarius is a great traveller and adventurer, with a profound sense of altruism and a lust for life.
Jupiter is generally considered a lucky planet because it is associated with growth, prosperity and optimism, however it is also closely linked with moral principles. Its diverse nature is reflected in its colour palette of violet, blue and grey, and so, to represent Sagittarius for our Gravity Zodiac collection, we chose Salomé, a startling marble with red and white intrusions that create nuances of blues and purples.
To create our spheres, we select blocks of Salomé where these intrusions are particularly marked.
we wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Capricorn by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Goat to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Saturn.
Capricorn is an Earth sign and is the absolute embodiment of the traits associated with this element. Reserved and somewhat sceptical, Capricorns tend to be patient, cautious and self-controlled and don’t make decisions lightly.
Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet, is the personification of Cronos, the Greek god of time, and its positive sides such as calmness, rationality, strength and willpower all manifest themselves in this sign.
Saturn’s colour can vary from beige to yellowish, depending on the hues of the clouds that cover it and so, to represent our Gravity Zodiac Capricorn, we chose Soft Rainbow, a delicate muted pinky-orange marble, prized for its glorious swathes of silvery-grey veins.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Aquarius by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Water Bearer to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Uranus.
Aquarius is considered the most visionary of all the signs of the Zodiac. Honest and loyal, your typical Aquarius is original and independent, not only in their actions but also in their way of thinking, and they embrace danger and adventure.
While Uranus is the ruling planet, Saturn comes into play too, but it is the former that dominates Aquarian traits. It symbolises breaking with the past and creating new things, new concepts and beliefs.
Uranus’s colouring centres around shades of blue and so, to bring our Gravity Zodiac Aquarius to life, we chose Cremo Tirreno, a wonderful marble with striking ash-grey, blue, beige and white veining.
We wanted to celebrate the strength and tenacity of the typical Sagittarius by inviting everyone born under the Sign of the Fish to align themselves with the energy of the ruling planet, Neptune.
Pisces, unsurprisingly, is a water sign and, depicted by two fish swimming in opposite directions. It is associated with marine characteristics such as empathy, sensitivity and fluidity of thoughts, but above all emotions. Pisces also tend to be extremely volatile, prone to sudden mood swings.
Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, rules Pisces, together with Uranus. Rejecting the norm and conformity, Neptune represents a world of fantasy and imagination, embracing romanticism and tending towards sensitivity and intuitivity.
Neptune’s colours recall those of the ocean and so, to create our Gravity Zodiac Pisces, we chose Palissandro Bluette, with its glorious indigo and turquoise veining that brings to mind the deep blues and greens of sea.
