How to prevent nasty, common-to-Aries headaches…
Aries rules the head, and you may be prone to headaches. While their cause still isn’t precisely known, studies seem to point to changes in brain chemistry. The best way to treat a noggin throbber? Keep it from happening in the first place.
Some tips that can help include sticking to a daily routine and identifying your headache triggers. If you do get one, you can keep it from getting worse by drinking four, eight-ounce glasses of water or doing several minutes of deep breathing. Doctors don’t recommend meds for tension headaches. Instead, distract yourself with a walk or video.
The only way to get healthy FAST…
Want an easy way to help combat heart disease and perhaps lower your risk for breast cancer? Go outside! A study co-sponsored by the Nature Conservancy found that women aren’t spending enough time in Mother Nature. And you can get the health benefits with just a few hours a week.
Even better, those parts of your brain that take care of self-control, focus, and attention are refreshed by the “vitamin N” therapy. Whether it’s camping, swimming, walking, lunch al fresco, or a cross-country vacation, work more nature into your life!
Can Aries be happy homebodies?
You’re such a whirlwind of action that you probably don’t spend much time at home. There are too many places to go and things to see! And forget about dusting. You need space for all your parties and hobbies, and no-brainer storage for all your clutter. Think interesting baskets and boxes, plenty of shelves, and copious closets. Hang an assortment of cinnabar or vermilion lacquered plates and trays. And how about vintage ornamental ironwork? Look for decorative scrolls, birds, flowers, and arrows at architectural salvage lots.
The important facial feature Aries may be ignoring…
Aries rules the eyes. Care for your precious peepers with proper diet and rest. Eye shadows, mascaras, and liners get all the press, but your eyebrows need some love, too! Beautifully shaped ones frame and emphasize your eyes and help express emotions. Unless you’re competing in the Mark Twain lookalike contest, trimming and thinning thick brows is a must! As for shaping—no need to go to Joan Crawford extremes. Plump thinning brows with tinted brow pencil and pomade to fix. Moisturize brows with a clean mascara wand dipped in coconut or sunflower oil before bed.
Surefire ways to win big points at job interviews…
You’re awesome! Now you just need to convince a potential employer. You’ve made it past the resume stage and landed an interview. Fab! Yes, you’re leadership material, smart and driven. Just don’t trip up on that old chestnut, “what is your biggest weakness?” You have many strengths, but if you try to disguise them as failings, a savvy interviewer won’t be fooled. “I have so much energy that it’s hard to leave the office before 9 pm,” won’t cut it. Just be (tactfully) honest with yourself and the interviewer. You know where you could stand some improvement!
How Aries can get their Om on…
If you’re spooked by the idea of needles, chemicals, or surgery, but you still want to brighten your look, try a different kind of yoga. Face yoga workouts are said to promote the production of collagen, stimulate the muscles, and reduce wrinkles. Each pose targets a specific area, such as “fish” for lips and cheeks, “bumblebee” for jaw, and “lion” for all the facial muscles. Look for books, websites, and videos demonstrating the difference poses and put your best face forward!
Are you neglecting the most important person in your life?
Open-hearted and generous toward any friend in need, there is nothing wrong with taking some time to pamper yourself once in a while. Don’t think of it as selfish. Just think of it as another tool in your personal care kit. Taking the time for a massage or getting adequate sleep each night can do more for a glowing complexion than any pricey potion you could buy.
If you’re enjoying your life, you can’t help but be radiant, and others will notice. Just remember, there is no such thing as an unattractive, genuinely happy person!
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!

Think you know Aries’ power color? Find out!
In radiant red you’ll turn heads, feel energized, and take charge even in those very rare moments when your self-confidence is lacking. The trick to wearing this hot shade is a firm belief in your own power—and who has more of that than you? It’s bold, so if you want, start small with shoes (hello, Dorothy!), a purse, or jacket. Ready to go all out? Pair a crimson flowing sleeveless top with pants of the same hue. It will be a fabulous ensemble.
