A Gemini smells best when wearing this scent…
Do you have a signature scent? You could even have a membership to the “scent of the month” club, but there can be variety even when you stick with a single floral note. Lavender is one of Gemini’s flowers, and you can find many versions of perfume and cologne that feature its soothing note—and feed your desire for variety, too.
Try a cream-based perfume made from Himalayan-grown lavender (that should stir your wanderlust) or DKNY for Men, combining lavender, cardamom, and sage. Tuck lavender sachets in your linens and let the aroma soothe your active mind to sleep at night.
No kin love their own as much as the Cancer in their clan!
To say Cancer is “family oriented” is like saying water is wet. You are the nurturer who gives hugs “just because”. Your home can accommodate crowds of family, and friends who seem like family. You probably live within walking distance of parents or siblings. They’re your strength, your touchstone, your anchor.
Yes, you probably talk to them every day, but why not do something extra special for them? Use your culinary talent to create a comforting dinner for the clan. How about crusty French bread and a big pot of cioppino—served family style, of course!
The unmistakable sign that a Cancer is smitten…
Would there even be family units if there were no Cancers? Their world centers on partner, kids, siblings, parents. “Loyalty” is Cancer’s middle name, and it remains undying toward any person or persons who help the Crab feel secure and loved.
But it isn’t easy for Cancers to trust another person. That’s why they have that tough shell, after all—to protect their soft, vulnerable core. The ultimate sign of potential Crab commitment is an invitation to meet the parents or those from their inner circle. Get a glimpse of that gooey, sentimental heart and you know you’re in for keeps.
Make sure your positive outlook doesn’t make you naïve…
You’re so forthright that it’s hard for you to lie or deceive anyone. Yet because of your desire for attention and praise, you can be vulnerable to swindlers. Since you can’t always tell if the admiration is sincere, you may keep falling for sweet-talkers who just want something from you.
If you recognize this as your Achilles’ heel, try to be more discerning, or have a close friend or partner who will tell you the cold, hard truth about those seemingly adoring fans. And don’t open any emails from Nigerian royalty asking for money!
Turn your humble abode into a fierce, Leo-worthy lair…
For the king of beasts, your home is your castle—or should that be den? It must be large and comfortable, with high-quality furnishings, because you can’t abide anything second rate. Brass fittings and knobs speak to your passion for gold. Big windows and skylights bathe you in natural light.
If you live in a cloudy climate, you might need full-spectrum light bulbs to mimic summer sunlight year-round. You aren’t afraid to add chairs or accents in red, yellow, or orange. And plenty of mirrors will help illuminate the space, and… well, you’re Leo, after all!
It might just be worth it…
Virgo is a mutable earth sign, so while you’re cautious and efficient, you aren’t so firmly rooted (like Taurus) that you can’t make a few adjustments now and then. You’re sensible and reserved, but that just means that you aren’t about to do anything stupid! That doesn’t mean you can’t loosen up a bit. The one inescapable thing about life is that things change. If you can’t grow and adapt, you grow stale and stuck. Try to do a few things to broaden your horizon—nothing huge! Go to a soiree where you don’t know everyone. Wear a new clothing style. Soon you’ll see that change can enrich your life!
Be smart but also caring…
Virgo gets a bad rap. Far from prudish, the Virgo guy is sexy and smart (hello Hugh Grant, Sean Connery, Ryan Phillippe, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere), big-hearted, charming—what’s not to like? Well, perhaps he’s too smart for his own good, the way he overthinks everything to the point of immobility. He can be insecure. And it will take work to get him to open up. Show him you love him and his (real or imagined) flaws. Prove how much you appreciate him with words as well as tokens. Even the smallest loving gesture means the world!
Perfecting your posture…
If you’re not a professional ballet dancer, chances are good that your posture could use a little tune-up. It’s surprising how much better you can feel when you stand up straight—taller, even lighter, too! Assess your stance by having a friend photograph you—front, back, side—standing naturally. Are your shoulders and hips aligned? Are your head and neck directly above your shoulders? From the side, is your ear is aligned with your shoulder? To help correct slouch when you sit for long periods, take a few minutes every hour to get up and stretch your back, neck, and shoulders to relax those muscles. It will help keep your body from falling into bad habits!
Dating a bull? Pay attention to this…
As a rule, Taurus is reliable, dependable, and set in their ways. These signs indicate there could be trouble in paradise!
Breaks Routine: Fixed Taurus is fond of the familiar. A sudden change could indicate a problem.
Ignores Grooming: Taurus has a refined aesthetic sense, always taking care to look sharp. Growing suddenly lax is a signal that something’s up.
Loses the Mojo: Taurus is a passionate, sensual lover. If the lovemaking seems ho-hum, their attention could be elsewhere.
Leaves Projects Undone: Stubborn Taurus sees things through to the end. This could be the biggest red flag of all!
Sexy scents for Taurus, the most sensual of all signs…
Build a fragrance wardrobe by focusing on the scents associated with your sign. For casual days, choose the earthy sandalwood, sharp juniper, and smooth vanilla notes of Red Promisia Eau de Toilette from Sonia Kashuk. For the office, try the sophisticated scent of apple, rose, and magnolia in Karl Lagerfeld for Women Eau de Parfum. And for that very special evening, pull out all the stops with Calvin Klein Euphoria, blending black violet, pomegranate, black orchid, mahogany, persimmon, and lotus blossom. For men, try the casual Exceptional-Because You Are, which includes violet, sandalwood, cardamom, plum, musk, and bergamot!
