How to be in the right place at the right time, Aquarius…
You’re such a social butterfly! You’re interested in all kinds of people—oddballs, geniuses, extremists, the sweet neighbor down the street—and you can find something to talk about with all of them. But like Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory, you could spend all your time studying humans rather than really getting to know them.
To find love, you’re going to have to make an effort. You’re a joiner, so look for a club or group where you can meet like-minded computer geeks, sci-fi aficionados, or environmentalists. Maker Faires, Comic-con, and Sierra Club events are good bets!
Gems that can heal and boost Aquarians’ moods…
Open-minded and curious, many natives of your sign are interested in alternative therapies and the metaphysical. If you’re drawn to crystals and their reputed properties, you couldn’t do better than to begin with amethyst and lapis lazuli, both associated with Aquarius.
All-purpose amethyst is said to calm and sharpen the mind, ease insomnia, lower stress, help headaches, and reduce bruising and swelling. Try placing one of these purple beauties under your pillow to promote restful sleep.
Lapis lazuli is said to help concentration and ease migraines. Crystal powers or not, these gems are gorgeous, so wear them and be dazzling!
You can have it all…
Because your sign is mutable and watery, you adapt easily to almost any situation. That makes for a great work environment, but are you missing out on what <i>you</i> want because you’re always going along with everybody else? You’re a dreamer and a thinker, so you probably have a pretty good idea of what you need!
Try focusing your thoughts away from the group by taking a labyrinth walk. There are thousands of these winding paths around the world. Strolling slowly with intent and focus can bring clarity to your needs and desires. Return to your life prepared to stick up for what you want!
The dinner of your dreams, Pisces…
Put that world-famous imagination to good use when planning for your next dinner date. Cabernet and steak? Yawn. Chardonnay and salad? Been there, done that. Cool rosé wine is hot right now. And we’re not talking about Aunt Hilda’s wine spritzers! Pair an elegant Oregon white pinot noir (really a pale salmon color) with its rhubarb, cherry, and chive notes with omikase sushi. “Omikase” means that you leave the selection up to your chef, and with luck, the results will be inventive and unexpected (like you). Finish with grilled figs and honey over vanilla ice cream.
Pisces´ instinctive and comfy cocoon…
You won’t find Pisces living in a sleek, spare, modernist home full of hard edges of steel and plastic. This watery sign keeps an abode that’s warm and welcoming, if not the tidiest on the block. While you don’t necessarily have an aquarium with actual fish, you do gravitate toward ocean hues and natural materials like wood, seagrass, and stone, with gauzy curtains that filter the light like an undersea kelp forest. Leave the big family gatherings to Cancer—you value your privacy. Your home is your haven and your comfortable furnishings your cocoon.
How to make even the blandest foods Aries-approved!
You like your food the way you like your partners—hot! Spice up something as mundane as butternut squash by adding a dose of smoky cayenne. Cut peeled squash into strips and toss with two tablespoons olive oil and one-half teaspoon of black pepper, cayenne, cumin, and salt. Bake on a baking sheet for 20 minutes at 450, turning halfway through. Or, top prepared pizza dough with a spicy sauce, some of the cooked squash mixed with onion and cayenne. Crumble goat cheese on top and bake until crispy for a novel take on an old standard.
Think you know Aries’ power color? Find out!
In radiant red you’ll turn heads, feel energized, and take charge even in those very rare moments when your self-confidence is lacking. The trick to wearing this hot shade is a firm belief in your own power—and who has more of that than you? It’s bold, so if you want, start small with shoes (hello, Dorothy!), a purse, or jacket. Ready to go all out? Pair a crimson flowing sleeveless top with pants of the same hue. It will be a fabulous ensemble.
No one camps more in style…
You’re earthy and grounded. You love the outdoors, but you also love your creature comforts! If sleeping in a tent on the ground, lugging a heavy backpack, and wearing the same clothes for a week doesn’t sound so fun, you might like glamorous camping, or glamping. It combines the best of camping with even more comforts than home! From treehouses to yurts, trailers to geodesic domes, these cushy campsites feature everything from king-sized beds to heated floors and indoor plumbing to gourmet food. Whether you prefer desert, mountain, forest, or seaside, there’s a glampsite to feed your wanderlust!
The world needs you to keep moving forward…
If someone could capture Gemini’s vitality, the world’s energy problem would be solved! Sometimes it seems as though you’re several places at once, all the while curious, charming, and witty. It’s hard for others to keep up.
But that same restlessness can also make you a bundle of nerves. All that talking and doing can frazzle you. Suddenly, you’re overtired and overcommitted. Don’t forget to enjoy some alone time now and then. You may not have the patience to learn to calm that monkey mind through meditation, but you can find a beautiful spot for a solitary walk!
How to (happily) juggle love in with all your other activities…
Flighty, fickle Gemini flits from one activity to another like a hummingbird. If your Twins could be two places at once, you’d be happy! Who has time to nurture a relationship? With a little creativity you can fit a love interest into your busy world.
You’re an expert multitasker. You can walk and talk and listen at the same time! Capitalize on that skill and bring your partner along while you run errands. The time will fly if you have someone to chat with while you pick up the dry cleaning, shop for groceries, or wash the car.
