Moody much? This indie rocker Pisces is all heart…
Indie-rock singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten delivers her message through expressive vocals and intense piano. Heartfelt, elegant, moody, vulnerable—these are just some of the words used to describe her music. Her delivery is “a complete articulation of whatever emotion she is feeling,” wrote one reviewer.
Van Etten doesn’t just skim over the surface of those emotions either. She plunges into them to examine all the joy, pain, anger, warmth, complexity, and heartbreak of relationships. Lucky for her fans, this Pisces is able to express them so perfectly and beautifully!
The list you need to make for greater happiness…
Do you really need all that stuff on your “to buy” list? Start another list of all the things you’re thankful you already have in your life. Write down whatever pops into your head. Great friends? Pretty hands? The world’s best parents? A loving pet?
Just the act of writing them down will switch your mindset from thinking about what you don’t have to appreciating what you do. The lists will balance each other out. In fact, you’ll probably find the appreciation list is longer! Who knows? You might decide to be a little more thankful and make do with a little less.
How to prevent nasty, common-to-Aries headaches…
Aries rules the head, and you may be prone to headaches. While their cause still isn’t precisely known, studies seem to point to changes in brain chemistry. The best way to treat a noggin throbber? Keep it from happening in the first place.
Some tips that can help include sticking to a daily routine and identifying your headache triggers. If you do get one, you can keep it from getting worse by drinking four, eight-ounce glasses of water or doing several minutes of deep breathing. Doctors don’t recommend meds for tension headaches. Instead, distract yourself with a walk or video.
This is the key element to happiness at work for Aries…
Aries loves a challenge. You’re competitive, with great decision-making ability. Like a jockey in the gate, it’s the thrill at the start of the race that motivates you. Where change throws off more timid folk, you initiate it.
Getting a project underway is what gets you up in the morning, but tying up loose ends, checking off punch lists, maintaining the status quo? No, thanks. Think about careers where variety is the norm—venture capitalist, film director, talk show host, chef, teacher, first responder, even museum exhibit designer. Once the exhibit opens, keeping it running is someone else’s job!
Good advice is timeless…
Your mother has probably given you plenty of advice, most of which you no doubt ignored! Crazy as it seems, a lot of it makes sense. Do any of these sound familiar?
20 minutes can help!
The neck is your sign’s part of the body. Strength training for 20 minutes once or twice a week can reduce chronic neck pain. Shrugs, reverse flies, and lateral and front raises will strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles. At work, craning your neck toward the keyboard or cradling the phone against your shoulder while typing can strain cervical vertebrae. Looking down at smart phones and tablets for hours can etch wrinkles into your neck. Eew! Hold the phone higher and walk around while you chat. To stave off wrinkles, apply a collagen-boosting cream to delicate skin.
Taurus is best at balancing spending and saving…
Because you love security, you’re the one with the balanced bank account, plenty of savings, pension, IRA, cash under the mattress, and a rainy-day fund. For the most part, you’re a conservative investor (you won’t be the one trusting your money to anyone named “Ponzi”). But given all that, you’ll take a financial risk if it’s for a cause you believe in. You can sniff out a bargain, but you won’t buy junk no matter how low the price. Your love of luxury could make you spend more than you should, especially if it’s an item you love! Take care!
No one is more driven than Tatyana!
At 6, Tatyana McFadden, paralyzed by spina bifida, was adopted from a Russian orphanage. Her mother, Deborah, urged her to try sports. At 24, Tatyana became the first woman to win six gold medals at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships. She won silver in Nordic skiing at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics, and won the women’s wheelchair division of the Boston, Chicago, London, and New York marathons. She’s won 17 Paralympic medals across her appearances in multiple summer Games.
A lawsuit she filed expanded the rights of Maryland students with disabilities to compete in interscholastic sports. The words Tatyana lives by come courtesy of Gandhi, “be the change you want to see in the world.”
Gemini’s spirit animal and how to channel its energy…
Gemini rules brightly colored birds. So? Turns out they have a lot of wisdom when it comes to finding and keeping a mate!
Birds of a feather really do flock together. Blue tits choose mates with matching personalities.
Show off your best features. When the male splendid fairywren goes courtin’ he holds a yellow flower in his beak, the better to show off his brilliant blue plumage to an entranced lady friend.
Your smarts give you a competitive edge. Brown-headed cowbirds size up situations and react appropriately.
Actions speak louder than words. Male European pied flycatchers sing a pretty song, but females scrutinize the quality of the nest site before choosing a mate.
Take your love life to a whole new level with this…
Variety is the spice of Gemini’s life, and that holds true if you’re looking for love. No boring neighborhood watering hole for you. You seek new adventures, so look where like-minded people are liable to be.
A noisy casino, arcade, or theme park where there is plenty to do can be a surprisingly fun and fruitful option. You have great coordination, so you can probably play a sport passably well, perhaps tennis, softball, or volleyball? Popular hiking and biking paths appeal to the physically active, and you can still talk if you keep the pace moderate! If you can’t get out and about, try to engage with an interesting movie that will keep you talking. Maybe even a romantic one!
