Know Your Strengths, Taurus

You´re the most stable sign in the zodiac…

Taurus is a fixed earth sign, and you can’t get more stable than that! You like—no, <i>need</i>—order in your life, and get anxious when things spin out of control. The unfamiliar makes you feel insecure, and this can cut you off from new experiences. But the nature of life is growth and change. Without that, it becomes static and boring. Try to be more open to change. Start small. Take a new route to work or change your haircut. Wear a new color. Dip your toe in the pool and you’ll see that the water is lovely!

Facial Care for the Fancy Bull

Brighten-up your face with these oils…

It’s counterintuitive, but facial oils are cleaning up right now. Not only are their nongreasy formulas better than lotions at holding in moisture but they also nourish skin with antioxidants and vitamins. All that and they’re antiseptic and firming, too! What’s not to love? Be good to your face and clean it with papaya seed or broccoli seed oil, rich in vitamin E to smooth and protect your face and neck. And new body oils have the added benefit of mouthwatering scents. Try Estee Lauder’s sultry Bronze Goddess Shimmering Body Oil, with sandalwood, amber, and vanilla.

Play Your Way to Success, Taurus!

This is how you pave your way to success…

Here’s news that all working Bulls can get behind. You love your weekends, and now studies show that what you do outside of work can make you more productive on the job. Want to succeed in your career? Then throw yourself into your favorite fun activities with the same single-mindedness that you bring to your job. Love to get your hands dirty in the garden? Paint watercolors in the park? Immerse yourself in a good book? A half hour of “you” time every day will boost your spirits, recharge your brain, and could even help you earn more!

Be the BFFs Others Adore, Gemini

How to use your Gemini charms to gain new friends…

Is there a cute guy or gal in your sights? Gather a few of your pals. Research shows that you look more attractive when you’re standing next to two other people than you do solo. Experts think it’s because your features blend into an “ensemble” image, which makes any less attractive “idiosyncrasies” less noticeable! They call it the “cheerleader effect.” And it works both ways, too. Before you get that cutie pie’s number, break him or her from the entourage to get a good look. (Wait – does a Twin count as two!?)

Love, Gemini Style

Geminis have a unique take on romance —yay or nay?

While other signs may want to woo and be wooed slowly, you have a shorter attention span when it comes to love. You might aspire to languorous lovemaking, but who has the time or patience?

Your most delectable aphrodisiac isn’t oysters or chocolates, but a spirited debate. You are endlessly curious and willing when it comes to love and sex, so much so that you might forget about the emotional engagement part. If you meet someone with long-term potential, try to slow down and savor the moment (if you can).

Master Your Moods, Cancer

Shocking ways to improve a Cancer’s mood…

The ever-changing Moon rules Cancer, and your emotions can shift like tide-washed sand. Kind one moment, you can be crabby the next, earning you a reputation as moody, if not temperamental!

You can tame mood swings—and stress—with meditation, relaxing herbal baths, and music. Exercise increases the mood-boosting chemicals in the brain. Eat foods rich in magnesium (beans), vitamin C (dark, leafy greens), B vitamins (whole grains), and omega-3 fatty acids (salmon).

Research has found that even a brief encounter with a stranger can improve mood. And moods are contagious! Connect with optimistic people.

Dating a Cancer?

Attributes Cancers need from their closest comrades…

If you’re thinking about dating a Crab, see if you recognize yourself in this list first! Are you…

Compassionate. Let Cancer see how much you love animals, kids, good causes.

Romantic. Reciprocate in loving ways all that the Crab does for you.

Patient. This cautious sign doesn’t rush headlong into love.

Family Oriented. Family ties are extremely important to Cancer.

Responsible. This sign craves financial and material security.

Complimentary. The Crab loves to hear how much you love them and all they do for you.

Sincere. You’d better mean those compliments (see above)! Cancer will know if you don’t.

Are You Too Take-Charge, Cancer?

Are your maternal instincts putting people off?

You’re well suited to be the boss, so long as you don’t become too bossy. You’re very competent, and you feel you know the best way to do things. Hence, you want people to do exactly what you say. But that doesn’t always go over so well.

To succeed with co-workers, try to leave the parental behavior at home. Stifle any tendency to be controlling and put some of that stellar nurturing behavior to work instead. Delegate tasks and trust that the work will be done right. You can keep a watchful eye on everyone, so they’re focused on the end goal without lapsing into micromanagement!

Unknown Facts About Leo

This fact about Leos will shock you!

When the Lion roars, the ground trembles, and lesser beings flee. Everyone knows in no uncertain terms that Leos are brave and unconquerable. And sometimes it’s a lot of hooey. Bravado can hide inner sensitivity, and many people may not know that about you. You swagger confidently into any challenge, but an unkind remark can send you scurrying to nurse your wounded pride.

You need reassurance like fire needs oxygen. Secretly, you wonder if you’re really as good as you say you are. Your ego is more fragile than you’d like to admit. Try to put setbacks into perspective and move on!

Leo Luxury

Ways a Leo can give their look the royal treatment…

Nothing is too good for Leo (in your humble opinion), and that goes for your clothes, too. You like yours classy, although not necessarily classic. They must be well designed and well made, so you gravitate toward pricey clothes with designer labels.

Try not to overburden your credit card—look for deluxe duds at discount prices. The Lion is theatrical, so you know the value of a “costume”. You understand just how the right one in bold colors can create a desired impression or mood. Gold lamé gown? Perfect!
