Stepping up your game when it comes to beauty…
Your love of gourmet food could wreak havoc on your bod, especially since you can’t go a day without one of those cute little cupcakes or a morsel of your favorite salted caramel dark chocolate. And comfort foods are so, well, comforting! You can give in to the occasional craving and still stay healthy and fit. Whether you cut back on wheat, reduce the sugar, limit your meals to one eight-hour window, or puree your eats into satisfying smoothies, you can whittle your middle by combining an eating plan of your choice with strength training, cardio, and stretching.
Odeya Rush, a shining Taurus example!
At age 9, Odeya Rush moved to America from Israel to pursue her acting career. Having grown up watching American television, the reality differed only slightly from what she expected—a place Barbie would live. She honed her talents by entertaining her four younger brothers (two sets of twins) and doing commercials. By age 12 the veteran had transitioned to TV and film.
In 2012 she co-starred in Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green, and was excited and nervous to see all the adoring fans at the movie’s green-carpet premiere. Considering that other projects pair her with Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep (The Giver), Ben Kingsley (Mary), and Jack Black (Goosebumps), this talented Bull got over those opening-night jitters in no time!
Gemini’s spirits are eternally youthful!
In 1513, Ponce de Leon searched fruitlessly for the Fountain of Youth in Florida. Had he but known a Gemini, he would have had proof that such an elixir existed. Eternally youthful in spirit, you’re like a kid in a candy store in a stimulating environment. There isn’t a person, topic, or gadget that doesn’t interest you. Ever the optimist, to you every opportunity opens a door into a bright, new world full of infinite possibilities. Even though Twins are your symbol, you can’t be in two places at once! Take a break so you don’t burn out.
Geminis may just be the most fashionable sign…
You gravitate toward anything trendy, fun, and different from whatever everyone else is wearing this season. If muted shades of gray, brown, and cream are the norm, break out the cheerful candy colors. Is the crowd wearing tailored suits? Loosen things up with fabrics that drape and flow. Your arms and hands are your pride and joy, so don’t hide them. Accentuate them with juicy-hued bracelets and dramatic rings. You can rock a hat like nobody else, so add a cloche, fedora, or other distinctive topper to your one fashion staple—confidence!
Gemini is the perfect candidate for this job…
Gemini was born to be an entrepreneur. Any job that involves slogging to an office to do the same boring routine day after day isn’t for you! You want variety in every aspect of your life, including work, and the lack of predictability or schedule in the freelance life is right up your alley.
You’re used to walking a tightrope sans safety net. You’re good at creating business ventures, but it might be wise to team up with someone who has a flair for finance, since one of your many strengths isn’t managing money!
This star designer gives as much as she gets…
From a business launched in a New York City apartment to a booming fashion empire, designer Tory Burch has creativity and brains to spare. And in 2013 she became the second-youngest self-made female billionaire in America (Spanx founder Sara Blakely is youngest).
A model of Gemini generosity, Burch supports the arts and cancer research, and her company helps more than 30 nonprofits. She is dedicated to making sure that all entrepreneurs have a chance. Her Tory Burch Foundation supports women’s economic empowerment through loans, mentoring, and education. And the Obama Administration named her to the Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship, committed to developing the next generation of entrepreneurs around the world.
Don’t let your sweet Cancerian nature become sickening…
You are considerate, empathetic, and compassionate—and who doesn’t need a little more of those qualities in their life? You want to encase a partner in a protective shell of comfort and security and feel just as nurtured by him or her.
If you know that you belong to another person, as well as to a location and a loyal group of friends and/or relatives, you are contented. Your caution is to take care that the mothering doesn’t turn into smothering. You want to embrace another gently, not cling for dear life.
What to look for in a happy, stylish, cozy home…
Cancer is the sign most closely associated with domesticity and family life. As such, your ideal home needs ample space for entertaining, perhaps with an open living or kitchen area where people can talk, cook, and enjoy being together.
A huge dining table, comfortable chairs, and utilitarian floor coverings will foster convivial crowds with minimal fuss. Embellish with a seaside theme or family photos and heirlooms, important to Cancer.
You also cherish your privacy, so a comfy bedroom in clean, crisp whites, aquatic hues, or deep blues provides the perfect sanctuary for the Crab.
Your top picks for a happy, profitable work life…
You keep a welcoming, comfy house, but that doesn’t mean you want to stay there 24/7. You’re an enterprising cardinal sign, and as such, you like to be out and doing things in the world.
You want to make people feel welcome and well fed, so restaurants or hotels could be right up your alley. History fascinates you, so museums or antiques appraising are other options.
As emotionally understanding and empathetic as you are, Cancers make great doctors, psychologists, therapists, and counselors. Pet care, childcare, elder care, or teaching might offer you a fulfilling career as well.
The man behind Tesla is one clever Cancer!
Billionaire Elon Musk likes to tackle tasks that others assume are impossible. Cut global warming, lower oil use, and get everyone into electric cars? No prob. His companies Tesla and SolarCity build electric cars and supply solar power to the country. Oh, and his Space X sends resupply vehicles to the Space Station. “Everyone has to work as hard as possible,” says Musk, “anything less than that seems crazy to me.”
This rock star entrepreneur has always stirred up the status quo. In 2013, he unveiled his “Hyperloop” idea for commuting the length of California in 30 minutes. And in 2014, he made his Tesla patents available to anyone. His goal? Simply to “have a big effect on the world.” Now, everyone knows his name. Done.
