June 13, 2024 | Miriam Slozberg
Father’s Day is on June 16th this year. You are not alone if you need help figuring out what to get your dad (or father figure). Some people find it more challenging to buy for them than others when getting them unique gifts. You also want to give your dad a gift he will appreciate when you recognize him as remarkable. Perhaps your dad or someone who represents a father in your life is not into gifts. He may be the type to consider a great Father’s Day gift as you spend time with him. However, let’s break this down and see the ideal Father’s Day gift best for dad’s zodiac sign.
Aries – Sports Equipment
Your Aries dad is passionate and energetic, as fiery Mars is the ruler of the zodiac sign. You want to get him a Father’s Day gift that will be good for that trait. Your dad may be the one who is constantly on the go, so sports equipment may be great for him. What sport does he love? If your dad is into playing basketball, get him a new net or basketball.
If your dad likes to ski, then get him new ski gear. If he enjoys swimming, get him new swim gear. That is, unless the equipment is still in good condition. However, you can find something he will need based on his favorite sports.
If your dad is a Taurus, he values stability and routine and may enjoy having fancy items. Venus, the planet of love and luxury, rules this fixed earth sign. What can you get your Taurus dad for Father’s Day? He would appreciate new sunglasses, a new wallet, a designer belt, or even a watch.
You can always get him a gourmet treat if he already has good-quality items. You can always treat him to a fancy restaurant, and he can order a pricy entree. Taureans love to be appreciated, and a lovely gift is a sure way to show that you appreciate him. Since Taureans have great memories of what others do for them, you want dad to remember your gesture of appreciation.
Gemini – A Gift That Will Give Dad Intellectual Stimulation
Your Gemini dad is curious, outgoing, and versatile. Given that thoughtful and communicative Mercury rules Gemini, he needs constant intellectual stimulation. A great Father’s Day gift would be a new novel of his favorite genre. He may prefer nonfiction, and you can get him a new book about his interests. He likely has a lot of books and may not necessarily want anymore. No problem.
You can always get him some challenging 1,000 + piece puzzles. Perhaps he likes crossword puzzles and word searches. Look into intellectually stimulating apps; he can use many games and puzzles. As long as the gift you get him for Father’s Day keeps his mind working, he will love it.
Cancer – An Emotional Gift
Your Cancer dad may be sentimental and emotional, as the nurturing Moon rules his zodiac sign. Therefore, a touching Father’s Day gift would be appropriate. He will only enjoy sporting equipment if his horoscope has many fire elements. However, if that is not the case, do not get him anything related to sports.
He will appreciate gifts such as a family photo frame or a memory box. You can even create an image with a meaningful message on it and frame it. Your Cancer dad is not looking for anything fancy. He wants a gift that will touch his heart. However, he appreciates the thought, even if you did get him a gift he could not use or that wasn’t meaningful.
Leo – A Gift that Makes Dad Stand Out
Your Leo dad wants to be the center of attention because Leo is all about being in the spotlight. The willful Sun rules fiery Leo, which is also why they are warm and generous. Your dad loves to be treated like royalty, but he likely has been giving.
Why not give your Leo dad something that will make him shine? You can plan a special outing where he can be in the spotlight. An example is a karaoke bar or a theater where he can perform on stage. He will love that.
You can also organize a surprise party with his loved ones, where he can be the center of attention. You can also create a personalized photo album or collage featuring memorable moments with him. If those things are not something that he would want, you can always get him cologne.
Virgo – A Gift to Relieve Stress or Practical
Your Virgo dad is likely very uptight and analytical. That is because of the nature of thoughtful Mercury ruling his sign. Because Virgo is an earth sign, so much practicality is associated with it, and it can be extreme. The ideal Father’s Day gift for your Virgo dad depends on what he needs. Virgos are efficient and will want to use what they need.
Does he need respite? Treat him to a spa day or a massage to help him relax and de-stress. Due to his earthy nature, he may also prefer doing something calming outdoors. You can plan a nature hike or a picnic in a serene location, allowing him to connect with the outdoors.

There are some ideas you can get your Libra dad for Father’s Day. You can plan a day of cultural activities as he may appreciate that. Examples are visiting an art gallery or performing live music.
Another thing you can do is to take him to a fancy restaurant for a gourmet meal. If you prefer, you can prepare a fancy home-cooked dinner for him. Or, if you want to give him a gift, you can give him a personalized piece of jewelry. Another idea is to have a stylish accessory that complements his taste.
Scorpio – A Gift That Piques His Intense Interests
Your Scorpio dad is intense and transformative; Pluto rules the sign along with aggressive Mars. He has a lot going on in his mind, and he may only sometimes share it. But if you do something nice for him, he will never forget that. One idea you can do for your Scorpio dad for Father’s Day is to arrange a game night for him. Arrange a game night with his favorite board games or a competitive activity like go-kart racing.
You can also surprise him with tickets to a thrilling event. Examples are tickets to a concert by his favorite band or a sports game.
If that is not his thing, there are other ideas for a Father’s Day gift. Consider a gift that taps into his interests, such as a mystery novel or a puzzle that sparks his curiosity. Either way, he will appreciate it and remember.
Sagittarius – A Gift to Fancy His Adventurous Side
Your Sagittarius dad is adventurous and wants excitement in his life. He may always be the type to look at life through the half-glass-full lens. It is no wonder that jovial Jupiter rules his sign. Finding a Father’s Day gift for your dad should be relatively easy based on knowing he thrives on excitement.
You can always get him adventure gear or travel accessories for their next exploration. If he has much of that, you can get him a book on spirituality or philosophy. He can never have enough books to stimulate his curious mind. Another idea would be tickets to a sporting event or concert that aligns with his interests. You can also always get a gift card for an outdoor activity or adventure experience.
Capricorn – A Gift to Support His Ambitions
Your Capricorn dad is ambitious, sophisticated, and a hard worker. It is not surprising since stern Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn. He can be challenging to impress at times. However, there are gifts that your Capricorn dad will like.
You can always get him a practical and stylish briefcase or work bag. Another gift idea is a personalized planner or organizer to help them stay organized. A high-quality pen set or a personalized engraved pen is another gift idea. Finally, you can always get a book on personal finance or investment to support your dad’s ambitions. Those gifts he will appreciate.
Aquarius – A New Gadget or Something to do with Technology or Science
Your Aquarius dad may always be looking forward to the new gadget or app about to launch. Innovative Uranus rules Aquarius, which is why your dad may always be looking forward to the next big thing. Therefore, you can always get him a unique, innovative gadget or tech accessory for Father’s Day. He can never have too many of those.
Another gift idea is a subscription to a science or technology magazine. If your dad looks forward to events, you can get him tickets to a science museum or a tech conference. And since Aquarians are also humanitarians, you can get him a book on activism or social justice. That is only if he has too many gadgets to know what to do with.
Pisces – A Gift to Support His Wellness or Love for Music
Your Pisces dad may need to retreat and relax. Music makes him quite happy. Spiritual and artsy Neptune rules Pisces, so he will love a Father’s Day gift that fits those traits. A gift idea is a set of relaxation or meditation tools, such as a meditation cushion or essential oils.
You can also get him a soothing spa or wellness gift basket, which can help him recharge. Since your Pisces dad also appreciates music, you can get him a subscription to a music platform. Additionally, tickets to a live music performance or a concert of his favorite artist are other gift ideas. Either way, your dad will appreciate your gift because it is the thought that counts.
Father’s Day is June 16th this year, and those gift ideas based on your dad’s zodiac sign should help. If you are struggling with gift ideas for your dad, you no longer need to do so. If your dad’s zodiac sign isn’t associated with a gift idea he may like, get it for him anyway.
For instance, if your dad is an Aries but he is more like a Cancer, get him a Cancer-appropriate gift. That gift idea may be perfect for his moon or rising sign instead of his sun sign. Either way, your dad or a father figure you consider your father will appreciate a gift from you. Enjoy your time together on Father’s Day.
