A date with a Leo should involve the following…
Whether you’re the inviter or the invitee, a date with Leo will be a memorable occasion, with no expense spared! The restaurant will be chosen with care for its cuisine, service, and ambience. Linen tablecloths, candlelight, and impeccable presentation? Of course! Whether filet mignon or sushi, the food will be the best that money can buy. For dessert, something theatrical and artistic like the modernist cuisine creations “plated” directly on the table with honey, chocolate, and berries. Tickets to opening night at the theater or a new art gallery show will round out the perfect Leo evening!
How to take your best physical asset to a new level…
Take care of your pride and joy, your mane, and it will be your crowning glory. Have you settled into a hirsute habit? Try a completely different style or cut. Go from classic to asymmetric or long to short. Add golden or coppery highlights and some glossing serum for a burnished glow.
“Bedhead” is the rage, but don’t take it too literally. Today’s versions are full of soft, romantic texture, but you can wear them to the office without looking like you just woke up. Try a tousled ponytail or loosely woven braid. Aim for grrroovy not grrrungy!
When it comes to having it all, Leos have it down!
Lucky Leo! While the rest of us struggle to squeeze in a personal life amid ever-increasing work demands, you have the whole work/life balance thing figured out. Yes, you work hard and often long hours, but you also know how to have a good time. Most people focus on job success (and the money and recognition that go with it), but you view work as providing the means to enjoy life. Come the weekend, you have no problem closing the door and having fun. What’s all that money for otherwise? You really can have it all!
Vacation with purpose…
You’ve finally decided to tear yourself away from work (no easy task) and take a vacation, but where? You could visit a spa, but that seems selfish. You are concerned about the world’s problems—climate change, homelessness, endangered species, hunger, pollution—and you probably have some pretty good ideas for what to do about them! Why not get away from everyday concerns by taking a volunteer vacation? Whether you’re restoring wilderness or building a school in a remote village, you’ll get the break you need coupled with the boost that comes from doing good.
Take a few seconds to slow down…
There is something you do some 14,000 to 25,000 times a day that you don’t even think about. Breathing! It’s surprisingly complex, and chances are, you’re doing it wrong! I know, hard for Virgo to believe! Most people take shallow breaths that fill only the upper part of the lungs. But deep breaths through your nose that you exhale quickly and forcefully can increase energy and clear the mind, and what Virgo wouldn’t want that? Try taking a one- or two-minute deep-breathing break several times a day and see if you don’t feel better!
Make love last with a stubborn Taurus…
Taurus is stubborn and persistent, which is a good thing in a lot of ways, including sticking with a partner! If you have a Taurus partner, be sure to let him or her know exactly (and often) how much you love the way they never give up on anything important (including you). That sturdy Bull has got your back, and there are few things in life more comforting than that.
Taurus sticks to the familiar and routine like a burr sticks to wool, but you need to make sure that you don’t cling too tightly to a partner out of a desire to make love last—especially if it’s a less than ideal situation! Don’t sit in stony silence holding in grudges for years. Talk things out and your relationship will go the distance!
Learn to relax as you enjoy your active Gemini life…
Gemini is the physical embodiment of mental energy. Your innate, insatiable curiosity spurs you to learn more and more (and more). You’re like a supercomputer processing excess data as you read, talk, play, work, and zip through life. It should come as no surprise that Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings is a Gemini. But all that inquisitiveness comes at a price. You can quickly grow bored with a person, hobby, or job and move on to the next, leaving a trail of broken hearts, projects, or careers in your wake. Slow down and savor the moment!
This is the clue that your relationship is the real deal…
Go on, admit it. You’re a flirt! Your dual nature means that you enjoy the cuddling, but you also like stimulation and the offbeat. How can you know if you’re ready to commit? If the other person is able to keep up with you tit for tat, then you may have a true meeting of the minds.
If you’re dating a Gemini, how can you tell if the feelings are real? That’s no easy task. There won’t be any soul-baring revelations, but if the talk turns from casual to personal, it could be more than a fling.
Are your dreams as meaningful as other signs’?
Hard as it may be for you to believe, Leo, you spend a third of your life asleep! You dream, too, although you may not remember them. Dreams weave together threads of your waking life, and they can even give you insight into your problems.
Think of an issue or problem before you go to sleep (pick a night when you don’t have to use an alarm). In the morning, before you’re fully awake, write down what you remember about your dreams and see what insights emerge. Do you dream of lions? They indicate ambition and leadership!
Avoid this financial blunder…
You manage your money well. You question every purchase—especially big ones—to make sure it fills a practical (or fun) need. Your caution keeps you debt-free. Generous to others, do you extend the same benevolence to yourself? Buy yourself a reward now and then. It doesn’t have to be expensive! That bigger-picture view that can help you find love can also work with finances. You have the nickels and dimes under control. Now look ahead a decade or more. Do you have an emergency fund? Retirement account? It’s never too early to start saving for your future.
