28 Free Astrology Junk Journal Pages With Zodiac Signs, Planets and Star Maps

An astrology junk journal needs more than one zodiac wheel glued to the cover. This kit gives you 28 pages built around the whole language of the stars: the twelve signs on an old celestial chart, a sun and moon with painted faces, planets with rings and moons, an astrologer’s desk covered in brass tools, and star maps that run edge to edge. Twenty are full scene pages, four are seamless background patterns for covers and photo mats, and four are lined pages ready for your own notes on the sky.

Print everything on heavyweight paper so the washes do not wrinkle or show through, and set your printer to its best photo or highest quality setting so the pigment blooms stay crisp. Trim each sheet to your journal size before gluing or writing, and keep a steel ruler handy for straight edges along the star maps and borders.

Zodiac Wheel Pages

Spreads across a full page as the anchor of the whole journal, the twelve zodiac symbols circling an old star chart like the ring of a compass.

Pair this one with the stars and symbols background a few pages on: glue the ram page onto the pattern as a small frame, or set the background behind it as the facing page so the spread reads as one idea.

Leave this one for the reader who was born in spring, the bull wreathed in small flowers and earth tones instead of the usual midnight blue.

The usual mistake here is painting the twins too large so they crowd the sheet. Keep both figures small and let the stars and thin constellation lines do most of the work around them.

A little empty sky at the top keeps the page from feeling tight once it is glued into the journal.

What does the moon mean to you this week. Leave a line or two of that answer tucked beside the crab before the page goes into the journal.

Works well as a five-minute page: print it, glue it straight in, and move on, since the lion and the sun rays already fill the sheet on their own.

Add a title underneath later if there is a blank strip left at the bottom edge.

Tuck a pressed leaf or a dried flower against this page before you close the journal, since the wheat and the quiet palette give it somewhere to sit.

Balance is the whole idea of this sign, so place this page across from a lined writing page rather than another busy scene, letting the two sides of the spread rest against each other.

The scales sit at the centre with small stars hanging from each side like weights.

Thirty words only: a small scorpion rests among deep blue shadows and scattered stars, the darkest page in the whole chart section of the journal.

Tea-stain just the bottom edge of this sheet before gluing it in: the archer’s bow points upward, so a worn lower border reads like old parchment without hiding the scene.

Let the stain dry fully before the page goes anywhere near the glue.

The goat climbs a small painted mountain under a thin line of stars, a quiet page for anyone who reads this journal slowly rather than all at once.

This closes the twelve signs, so pair it with the opening chart page: glue one near the front of the journal and this one near the back, bookending the zodiac section.

Thin painted water pours from the bearer’s jar into a scatter of stars below.

Two fish circle each other above soft painted waves, closing the set of twelve with the gentlest palette of the whole section.

Sun and Moon Pages

A good spot for a short weather note or a line about today’s mood, since the sun’s gentle painted face leaves plenty of plain sky around it for writing.

Keep notes along the lower third so the face itself stays clear.

Carries a full crescent moon with closed eyes and a soft smile, small stars drifting around it against a deep painted night sky.

The usual mistake with a sun and moon page is splitting it down the middle like two separate pictures. Let the two shapes overlap slightly instead, with the sky blending from gold to blue behind them so the page reads as one scene.

Small stars scattered between the two help tie the halves together.

Fits best for someone who marks anniversaries and milestones in their journal, the dark moon ringed with a thin golden halo and a handful of distant stars.

Planets and Instruments

Write a short wish list along the bottom edge before gluing this one in, since the ringed planet and its small moons leave a quiet strip of sky open below them.

Nothing crowds that lower border, so pencil lines show up clearly there.

Shows a cluttered desk scene: an open star chart, a brass astrolabe, a quill and a small candle, every object set against a warm lamplit background.

This one works well glued in as a fold-out: trim along one edge and fold the extra sky inward so the rooftops open out when the reader turns the page.

The star map above stays visible even when the page is folded shut.

Background Papers

A single comet trails across the upper half of the sheet while smaller falling stars drift below it through a deep painted night sky.

Scatters tiny stars and zodiac glyphs edge to edge in midnight blue and dusty gold, ready to sit behind a photo, line a cover or back any page that needs a calm, repeating base.

Repeats the full cycle of the moon in a steady row across the sheet, useful under a portrait photo, as a cover sheet, or trimmed into strips for a page border.

Lays out a fine web of constellation lines and small star points across the whole sheet, suited to a cover, a photo mat or lining the inside of the back page.

Lined Writing Pages

Pairs a soft damask swirl with tiny sun and moon shapes for a quieter all-over pattern, good behind a title page, as a cover, or lining a plain inside page.

Carries a thin border of tiny stars and constellation lines around faint ruled lines, ready for a dream log, a wish for the new moon, or a letter to next year.

Sets a small zodiac glyph in each corner around open ruled lines, good for a birth chart note, a list of this month’s horoscope, or a short entry on today’s sky.

Runs a narrow band of small moons and stars down one side of the sheet, leaving the ruled lines open for a gratitude list, a full moon ritual, or plans for the week ahead.

What to Do Next

Print the full set, trim each sheet to your journal size, and start with the twelve signs chart as your opening page before working through the sun, moon, planets and star maps behind it. For more on building out the rest of the journal, see the junk journaling handbook.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paper works best for these astrology pages?

Use a heavyweight matte paper, at least 24 lb or a light cardstock, so the painted washes print with depth and the sheet does not curl once glued in. Thinner copy paper can buckle under glue and lets the ink show through on the back of the page.

What printer settings give the best colour?

Choose your printer’s best or photo quality setting rather than draft or normal, since that setting lays down more ink and keeps the soft bleeding edges of the washes looking smooth instead of banded or grainy.

What size should I print the pages?

Print at full letter or A4 size and trim each sheet down to match your journal’s cover size afterward. Trimming after printing keeps the star maps and zodiac wheels centred, since most home printers leave a thin unprinted margin around the edge.

Can I add my own notes directly onto the scene pages?

Yes, a fine tip black pen works well over the dried watercolour background, especially along the lower third of sun, moon and planet pages where the open sky leaves room. Pencil also shows up clearly against the muted palette.

Do I need anything besides glue and scissors to use this kit?

No extra assembly is needed. Print the sheets, trim them to size, and glue each one directly into your journal as a page; the seamless backgrounds also work well as a vintage junk journal cover or photo mat.
