What’s Your Energy, Sagittarius?

Common culprits that zap Sag’s natural zip and zest…

You’re usually so full of zip that it’s a shock when you drag. There could be a good reason for your lethargy. Take a few minutes to figure it out and you’ll be back on the move in no time!

  1. Are you getting enough sleep? Most adults need seven to nine hours of snooze time!
  2. Are you eating a good breakfast? Eat some eggs, Greek yogurt, or another good source of protein to stay stoked until lunch.
  3. Are you getting enough exercise? Exercise gives you an energy boost. Twenty minutes at low intensity three times a week will do the trick.
  4. Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes you’re just dehydrated.

Work Free or Die, Sagittarius

Not your own boss yet? You need to get busy Sagittarius!

The first entrepreneur was probably a Sagittarius. The very word means “adventurer”! You feel stifled by bureaucracy and rigidly structured organizations. You want complete freedom to call the shots. You get bored easily, so you need variety to keep things interesting. Where others see obstacles, you see limitless possibilities. You’re a future-oriented, intuitive thinker with a big, almost grandiose, vision. You have the drive, passion, flexibility, and optimism. You’re results-oriented and self-confident. Boom-and-bust situations don’t throw you. Can you assemble a team, delegate tasks, and manage your time? Congrats—you’re an entrepreneur!

Multifaceted, Multilingual Sagittarius

This famous Sag has several secret talents…

American audiences know award-winning French actor Vincent Cassel from his roles in Black Swan, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, and Elizabeth. What they may not know is that he also sings and practices the Brazilian martial art of capoeira. Centaurs have to stay busy all the time!

Just like your symbol combines qualities of human and horse, Sagittarius melds many, sometimes contradictory, attributes. Vincent’s varied performances have been described as both “charismatic” and “idiosyncratic” and his characters both “alluring” and “grotesque”. He’s passionate, self-confident, driven—and he can speak his mind in five languages (that’s so Sag)!

What’s on Your Wish List, Capricorn?

Take a time out from your responsibilities, Cap!

Capricorns are notorious for sacrificing their wants for all the needs in life. Ah, responsibilities. You live up to your fair share, Goat! Now, imagine some of those fun things that would make you happy to indulge in… even if just a little. Can you do one of them this week? If there’s any way, do it.

If you simply can’t for some important reason, can you plan to in the near future? If things really are not possible, you can at least live out your wish vicariously, whether that means reading up on it, making a wish list on a shopping site and adding all those too-expensive things you want, or daydreaming a few moments away here and there.

Can’t Sleep, Capricorn? Here’s Why

These are the 3 reasons Caps toss and turn all night…

Not sleeping is a serious and common problem for Capricorns, so make sure you are avoiding these three culprits that rob you of a decent rest…

Electronics. Don’t use any right before bed. That includes your phone, having the TV on, a too-bright alarm clock glowing in the dark, even music. Power down!

Your diet. You need to eat your biggest meals during the first half of the day. You shouldn’t eat within an hour or more of when you want to fall asleep, and that last meal should be light and mainly vegetarian. Gotta have your nightly ice cream fix? Opt for lower fat options if you must—or try a coconut milk ice cream to nix the dairy which can bother your digestion.

Your bedmate. Eek, yes really! If they snore or crowd your space, you may not get a good night’s rest. But the biggest bed pest is your pet! Make sure your fluffy friend gives you room to stretch, or they get the floor.

Ace Your Interview, Capricorn

What Caps should never do in a job interview…

Capricorns seem like shoe-ins when they score interviews. But there are some very off-putting things Goats can say or do in front of the potential employer. So, next time you consider a new job, don’t do these…

  1. Aka, flat-out bragging or overselling yourself. Be sure you don’t make it sound like you know better than anyone. No boss wants an obstinate employee, or a new manager who will be impossible to please.
  2. Watch your friendly factor. You need to be natural, and if you tend toward coldness, warm it up without seeming overly eager or engaged. You want to smile calmly, carry on easy conversation, and put the interviewers at ease.
  3. Letting your inner perfectionist outshine your major skills. Capricorns can be their own worst critics. Don’t let your potential employer see your personality flaws quite yet!

Multi-Talented Capricorn Celebrities

These Cap celebrities are workaholics…

Everyone knows Capricorns work hard and are determined to succeed. But these Goats took it to an extreme and hold multiple highly successful careers!

Ryan Seacrest: DJ, radio personality, TV show host, award show host, producer… he’s been nominated for several Emmys and won one for producing.

Jared Leto: He started as a TV star, switched over to lead singer of a popular rock band (and writes songs, too) while doing major films, and recently won an Oscar! He’s also a director, producer, activist, and philanthropist.

Zooey Deschanel: She’s an actress both on the big and TV screen, musician, has graced many ads and magazines for her quirky yet sexy persona, and is also a song writer.

 

Accessorize Your Aquarius Style

Power colors that will energize everything around you…

You love bright colors, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear flaming orange from head to toe! Punch up your (toned) middle with a statement cincher in red patent leather, acid yellow, purple leopard spots, or geometric checks and add “extra” to “ordinary.”

Yes, you could wear brown-framed sunglasses, but why? Not when you can choose polka-dotted, striped, or the same fuchsia as your lipstick!

Dip your toes into the trend with neon green slip-ons, animal-print ballet flats, aqua heels, or dazzling gladiators.

Bag it with graphic totes, wrap it with batik scarves, and time it with carnival-colored watches!

Take Your Time, Aquarius

Should Water Bearers ever rush a romance?

Your fixed nature means that it could take a while before you find just the right partner, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Your loyalty and devotion indicate that you’ll stick with your choice once you make it—although there are times when it would be better to let go.

Potential partners should understand that it will take time for you to get to know, trust, and depend on them. If they’re serious—and you’re so amusing and fascinating, why wouldn’t they be—they’ll persist. Just look at the fabulous prize they’ll win for their effort (you)!

Coconuts for Aquarius!

The Aquarian miracle oil you must use…

If the smell of coconut oil conjures up greasy, bikini-clad bodies baking on the beach in the ’70s, you’re in for a surprise. It’s the new “miracle” oil, good for every part of your body from hair to toes. Even medical professionals and Deepak Chopra are on board the coconut oil train. Aquarians will try anything once!

Skin moisturizer. Some swear it makes their skin more radiant.

Oral health. Swishing for 20 minutes may whiten teeth and reduce bacteria.

Smoothie enhancer. May increase good (HDL) cholesterol and provide other health benefits.

Butter substitute or popcorn oil. Go light, though!

Heal minor skin irritations. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties.

Improve hair. Decrease protein loss and add shine to dry hair.
