Arouse a lover of any sign…
Let’s face it—you need to loosen up a little! You can talk the talk at work, with peers, and especially with students of your field, but when you’re in love, you tend to clam up. You don’t want to embarrass yourself or be rejected.
But here’s the thing: you’re an awesome lover. And you could be even better by using your communication skills in the heat of the moment. Think about what you would love to hear in bed—approving, complimentary things. So, think of positive, provocative words or phrases that will get you going and rev your lover’s passion—they won’t expect to hear dirty talk but will probably want lots more.
Try one of these to make your hair one of your best features
Capricorns aren’t known for letting their hair down—but they should (at least off the clock)! Here are some hairstyles beyond the bun or no-muss short cut that will score you some approving glances and compliments.
Expand your social circle with these tips, Aquarius…
What would life be without friends? Not worth living, according to Aquarius. You don’t just have (lots of) them, you need them. Some people say that their spouse is their best friend, but your spouse is your spouse—and you love him or her to death!
Friends are the ones who are as nonjudgmental about you as you are about them. They don’t try to “fix” or “improve” you, but they’ll honestly tell you what they think—and you love them for that! Besides, your spouse doesn’t want to hear your monologue about that thingamajig you don’t really need but so desperately, passionately want. That’s what friends are for!
Desperately single? Not an Aquarius!
You’re an enigma, a strange combination of amiability and detachment. You’re everyone’s best friend, yet does anybody really know you? You need space—to think, to wander, to dream, and to absorb life’s sometimes hard lessons. At times that means distancing yourself emotionally and physically from others. Space gives you (and any partner) time to breathe and center yourself so that you can return as affectionate as ever, ready to forgive and forget. Take care that your alone time doesn’t lead to isolation. You can have a partner, spend quality time together, and still respect one another’s independence.
Areas Aquarians need to protect from injury…
Aquarius rules the shins, calves, and ankles, and you can be prone to injuries in these areas. If punishing workouts or too many hours spent in uncomfortable shoes have wreaked havoc on your feet and legs, the new, brightly colored elastic therapy tapes can ease pain and look good at the same time. Apply them along muscles, ligaments, and tendons for support and relief from overuse injuries. Tape ankles for stability, tape the calf for Achilles’ tendon pain, or apply the stretchy stuff under the arch and along the inner shin if you suffer from shin splints.
Teach others how you want to be treated, Pisces…
Pisces is so compassionate that you find it hard to believe when other people don’t quite rise to your level. People could take advantage of your trusting, open-hearted nature. If someone is always taking credit for your work, blaming you for things you didn’t do, or taking you for granted, you have two choices.
One is to avoid the issue. It won’t change the situation, and you’ll have to be content with the way things are. The other is to teach the person how you want to be treated. This takes backbone, but you’re up to it! Don’t just go with the flow, speak up. The person will change their behavior—or not. You can then decide whether to continue the relationship.
Magical love tricks Pisces style…
Romance with Pisces is like water to fish. You breathe it into your very being. Any date with you is enchanted because you know exactly how to turn on the charm and make it special. An attentive lover, you’re sometimes guilty of ignoring what you want. You’ve tried candlelight and flower petals, so how about something different? Pisces rules the feet. Soak one another’s in warm, scented water, and massage your piggies with fragrant lotion. Then think of imaginative ways to play footsie! Your feet—and partner—will thank you!
Add some spice to your life, Pisces!
It turns out that the spices you already have in your kitchen have surprising health benefits. Cloves are associated with your sign, and a compound in ground cloves may act as a stomach soother. Add a pinch to tea or a cup of applesauce. Feeling blue? Curcumin, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent in turmeric, can help ease depression. Sprinkle it on grilled vegetables or stir it into quinoa. Drifting off into fantasyland? Stay sharp with a bit of cumin. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help improve memory and lower stress. Add it to hummus or toasted nuts. Keep bones strong and regulate blood sugar with some cinnamon in oatmeal or cottage cheese, or sprinkled on apple slices.
The best way to challenge yourself…
You can’t stand to be bored. You like to play softball or volleyball with your buddies, but maybe they’ve become too predictable. Someone as competitive as you should pit yourself against the only person who can really present a challenge—you!
If you like to run, swim, or bike, you might be awesome in a triathlon. Sign up with a team and train together. Find training tips and inspiration online or with your own trainer. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone but you. And what sort of challenge would feed the Aries soul? The Ironman, of course!
