Styles even an Aries can’t pull off…
Don’t even think about wearing something vintage, unless it’s been repurposed into a garment that’s edgy and new. When one thinks of Aries, what words come to mind? “Assertive,” “dynamic,” “confident,” and “adventurous.” Does that sound like gingham, bell-bottoms, or frumpy shirtwaists to you?
Of course, fiery red is your color, but don’t limit yourself to that one hue. And materials? Rocker leather, new textures, mesh, and metal—anything trendy will do. The pieces that help you blend into the woodwork should go to charity!
Need a friend? Leave that to the Bull…
Warm-hearted and loyal, your relationships mean the world to you. There are no snarky know-it-alls in your circle of confidants! Your friends are like family, and you treat them all to the same comforts that you enjoy so much, from good food to great parties to sound advice. They love being around you because you’re so kind and gentle—and a welcoming host. And all they have to do in return is keep up their end of the (interesting) conversation and show their appreciation for your efforts (oh, and take that sage advice)!
Glam-up your Taurus style…
Tasteful and image-conscious, your style is comfortable and chic, not edgy or flashy. You may avoid change as a general rule, preferring to stick to your go-to closet staples. But changing up your look now and then can be a good thing. If you lean toward earthy tones, try a shot of bold color in shoes, tie, or scarf. If you usually wear soft prints of violet, yellow, or pink, try adding an accessory in a deeper hue of plum, gold, or fuchsia. Spark up demure outfits with a blast of primary color (in luxe materials) and get out of your rag rut!
Find your way to flexibility…
You’re a creature of habit. You strive for security. Concrete goals are your friends. Your pace is steady, and you refuse to be rushed. But know that a plodding pace can drive others crazy. Those routines could turn into ruts if you aren’t careful. And there’s a reason why “bull-headed” is another term for stubborn! Tenacity is one thing, but make sure you aren’t so set in your ways that you can’t change no matter the circumstances. Don’t be afraid to stretch and try something different at work. You might discover a new skill, and you’ll certainly score points with the higher-ups!
Must-haves for Gemini house-hunters…
While your multitude of interests pretty much dictate that you live in or near a city, still you’d like a home where there’s fresh air and a bit of green space for a garden—even if the garden has to be in containers. You like to fix simple meals, and what could be simpler than pasta with a tomato sauce and marjoram (your sign’s herb) that you grew yourself? Your many dinner guests will be so impressed that they won’t mind cleaning the dishes afterward.
How to bring your artistic side out for awesome pay-offs…
Airy Gemini is well suited to work that makes ample use of and stimulates your quick mind. Repetitive data entry? No, thank you. Anything that involves creative writing, searching for facts, sales, problem solving, thinking up new ideas or products, or constant variety will float your boat.
You might even consider assembling a living from an online service like TaskRabbit.com, where every day brings a new adventure, a new client, and a new challenge. You’ll get to use your laptop, cell phone, GPS, apps, and who knows what else, so you’ll be in Gemini heaven!
Who captivates others like no other sign? Cancer, of course!
Just like the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean, Cancer has hidden depths. You’re intuitive, yes, but you’re also intelligent and imaginative (move over, Aquarius) as well as ambitious.
Some of you may even be overachievers. Of course, that could be because you’re worried about what others think of you and you fear rejection, but nobody can match your determination once you set your sights on a goal. Don’t let anyone stand in your way. And go ahead and toot your own horn once in a while!
Your sign’s unique take on love makes others melt…
You are intuitive, affectionate, and sensitive. Your fervent wish is to be able to share your feelings, and nest, with another being and forge a deep connection of real love and understanding. No one can hold a candle to your supportive, helpful nature.
Remember that a partner wants the chance to take care of you, too. Relinquish a bit of that control and accept the nurturing that is offered. You may find you enjoy it. (And no grumbling if he or she doesn’t do it exactly the way you would!)
This odd scent may be the secret to Cancerian bliss…
If you’re searching for a new scent but don’t know where to begin, one idea is to start with the herbs and flowers associated with your sign: rosemary, comfrey, larkspur, honeysuckle, and coriander.
Try Ineke’s Scarlet Larkspur. How about Jo Malone’s Grapefruit Cologne, which has notes of rosemary and vetiver? You can find acanthus-scented candles, invigorating rosemary body washes, and soothing comfrey soaps.
Try a few of the many colognes and perfumes that feature honeysuckle or, yes, coriander! And the aptly named Silver Scent for men by Jacques Bogart combines rosemary, citrus, and spice.
Cancers are natural award-winners—enjoy it!
Everyone knows that Cancer is a sensitive sign, sometimes overly so. You might seem mild mannered and unassuming to others, but you will defend loved ones and comrades to the bitter end.
It might surprise some people to know that you often feel vulnerable and inadequate, what with all your outward confidence. It’s probably hard for you to accept well-deserved praise or recognition, since inside you feel a bit like a fraud. Take a lesson from Leo and learn to bask in the spotlight. Be gracious about compliments and awards, you deserve them!
