Daily Horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini

{Daily horoscope for Monday, October 5, 2009}


(Aries, March 21 to April 20: Today is all about the communities you live and work in. Your place in the world will be something you'll be questioning today, and that is totally normal and wonderfully healthy. Do you take the same role in every situation? Are you always the leader, always the follower, or do you take turns in this role? These are the questions you should address; you need to make sure you're being true to yourself and not compromising for the sake of popularity or politics.)

(Taurus, April 21 to May 21: Today you will be the beacon that all others follow. Your leadership potential has slowly (but surely) been maturing, and now you will be able to step confidently into the role as leader. This is a new beginning -- something you can really sink your teeth into. So go ahead and get excited! Your responsibilities might not rival those of world leaders, but they will be important to you -- and that is all that matters. It is okay to admit you don't know it all.)

(Gemini, May 22 to June 23: Quiet moments throughout this day will give you many opportunities to think about issues surrounding your immediate future. If you can, take a more passive role today -- you might not be in the right frame of mind to make tough leadership decisions. Compromise, not dogma, is what will feel most comfortable. Everything is a shade of grey to you now, and that's causing a small amount of confusion in your personal life. Direct your thoughts to this confusion today. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

Tip of the Week

(To restore shine and remove product build-up in your hair, use the following homemade solution: Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water. Shampoo and rinse hair as usual, then wash with the homemade solution and rinse. If you have long, fine hair you can leave it in to help prevent tangling. Why it works? The acid in vinegar strips silicone from the hair shaft and smooths down the cuticle to make your hair shiny. Photograph source, Stylist Nicoletta Santoro; Photographer Patrick Demarchelier.)

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces + Lily

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, July 30, 2009. NOTE: The daily horoscopes will be suspended for the month of August, as I will be on annual leave and these cannot be pre-scheduled in advance. Trusting you will understand.}


(Capricorn, December 22 to January 19: Have a little patience and hold back on any urge to push, and all the little details might just work themselves out. It's a hard stance to take, especially for someone who's as driven and hard working as you are, but one of the tricks about life is knowing when to rest and take a step back, as well as when to push forward with all your effort. Now is a moment in which you should rest.)

(Aquarius, January 20 to February 18: Making connections is important today. Therefore, you should call upon your charm, perseverance, and attention to detail to help you make the most out of the opportunities at hand. If you are thinking of a career move, sending out some feeler emails to people you know 'in the biz' could yield some very interesting leads. If you are working your way down the romance path, someone from your past is interested in reconnecting -- give them a call and see what's new.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Stop going in circles -- like being on a merry-go-round, it's lots of fun at first, but then after a few minutes, you could start to feel just a touch nauseous. Even if you're not sure where you want to go just yet, it's imperative that you clear your head before you make any big decisions. Take your time and move at your own pace while you're at it -- rushing into something could be a big mistake. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

Aries, Taurus, Gemini + Demarchelier

{Daily horoscope for Monday, July 27, 2009.}


(Aries, March 21 to April 19: The moon is urging everyone to make time for romance, and you just happen to be oh so in the mood to cooperate. If you're thinking of doing it up big, and it would be surprising if you weren't, why not succumb to the atmosphere? Indulge yourself -- no, indulge your sweetheart. Rent a limo and head to dinner at a five-star restaurant. Then bribe the waiter to bring a rose to the table just as 'your song' begins to play.)

(Taurus, April 20 to May 20: With any luck, you haven't committed all your free time to one particular person -- because more interesting, exciting and exotic admirers are en route, one of whom might disrupt the routine of your day in a wonderful way. Of course, if you're attached, your best bet will be to smile, say thank you to the fans and move along. Stay focused on that one quality person you so wisely chose -- who'll be delighted to let you know just how much you're adored.)

(Gemini, May 21 to June 21: No one's ever had to remind you that fun often comes from unexpected circumstances. So even though this weekend seems quiet, you'll have one eye open for a 'coincidence' that will bring you right to your next adventure. Of course, you know that there's really no such thing as a coincidence -- it's all about the universe arranging for you to meet someone or get somewhere -- but others might not. Educate them. Gently.
