Ever-changing fashion on a budget—perfect for Gemini!
Everyone knows you’re easily bored, and that also goes for your wardrobe. Secondhand shops must love you because you’re continually casting out the old to make room for the new. Money can slip like water through your fingers if you aren’t careful, so stock your closets with marked-down bargains when you can. You know you’ll only wear them a couple of times before you move on to the next craze that catches your eye. And don’t forget to pin photos of your ingenious ensembles online for everyone to admire (and copy)!
For work satisfaction, look for jobs in these fields…
“Variety” is your middle name. You want a constant stream of new sights, sounds, ideas, and people—every day, if possible. Few other signs can match your energy and enthusiasm.
Your ideal job could lie in travel and tourism. As a tour guide you’d be constantly exploring places, meeting people, and talking up a storm. As a museum guide you could show off that quick wit, humor, and arsenal of fun facts to a whole new audience every hour.
Solving problems on the fly? You were born for it. Who wouldn’t want to explore new territory with you?

Who calls the shots in a Cancer’s life?
Your willingness to take control makes you a natural manager. You aren’t afraid to accept responsibility for a project or team and do what needs to be done. You’re organized and dependable, but your cardinal nature will make it hard for anyone to push you into doing something you don’t want to do. And you can be as stubborn as a bull if someone tries to thwart your plans. You always appear calm and strong even if you’re a quivering ball of insecurity on the inside. Just take care not to let your fluctuating emotions rule your decision making.
This is a surprising way to gain power…
The King of the Jungle is a natural leader. You love clawing your way to the top! But as the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said, if you want to lead people, you must be willing to follow them. Not every situation needs a top predator. Only by sharing the leadership role can a group make full use of the collective strength of its members.
Water signs know that life is fluid. Roles change. Sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. The key is in learning how, as a fire sign. Practice following by focusing your attention on another. Ask questions or ask for clarification (this could mean admitting you’re wrong, which can be hard for Leo). And follow the advice you receive if your instincts tell you to.
How to seek out your significant other…
It’s a jungle out there in the dating world, but romantic Leos still want to find their ideal mate. Try thinking less like a lion! Sometimes (or, in your high-adrenaline life, always) first impressions are all you have to go on. In the wild, lionesses go for lions with full, dark manes (indicating more testosterone). The dark-maned guys make more babies and carry on the family line.
But in humans, looks can be deceiving! Males of every species bluff to attract the ladies—admit it! Whether it’s exaggerating income or a full head of hair, forget love at first sight and take the time to get to know that attractive stranger. You may indeed be a match—or it could just be your inner big cat talking!
How this show-stopping sign looks and feels most radiant…
Flamboyant and stylish, Leos can shine in rubies, from the deepest red to palest pink, golden-brown tiger’s eye, luscious amber, and fiery diamonds. Onyx is also associated with your sign, perhaps because it forms in molten lava! Black is the color that most often comes to mind when you consider this gem, but onyx comes in many colors, including sun-washed gold and pale yellow, and carnelian onyx is striped with bands of red. Gleaming gold is your lucky metal. If you can’t afford 24 karat, try on-trend earrings, rings, or necklaces in gold-plated silver vermeil.
The game is never over for this Leo…
Danish heartthrob Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, aka Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones, revels in the experiences afforded by his acting career, like horseback riding, sailing, and traveling the world. His peers praise his range as an actor and charm, but this Lion doesn’t have a big head.
As his career continues to rocket, Nikolaj tries not to feel too guilty about being away from his family as much as he is. He takes everyday setbacks and annoyances in stride while remembering to “appreciate the miracle of life and our existence.” Even without the suit of armor, this Lion radiates charm!
What you need in your life, Virgo…
Your earthy, Mercurial nature pretty much guarantees that you’ll never be an airy free spirit like Gemini. But that doesn’t mean you can’t infuse a little more play into your life! Acting like a kid is a great stress reliever—it’s been scientifically proven, which should impress you! Playful people (as opposed to more serious types) perceive less stress, and when they encounter it, handle it better. Playful people look on the positive side of things and meet anxiety-prone situations with humor. They also seek support from others and find something fun to do to take their mind off their woes. Sounds like good advice!
Tips for working under this type of boss…
These exacting bosses can be taskmasters. You’ll hear about it if you misuse a semicolon on page ten of your report! Rest assured that they are just as hard on themselves as they are on you. (No, really!) Still, you’d better look—and be—sharp, stay on your toes, toe the line, and follow the rules if you want to stay on his or her A list. If you need guidance, all you have to do is ask. Unlike some other signs, the Virgo boss is happy to offer advice and clarification. It’s way better than receiving work that doesn’t measure up!
