Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, October 22, 2009}


(Capricorn, December 22 to January 20: There's a threatening gray cloud of pessimism just over the horizon. Its power over your life will increase exponentially with each negative person you encounter today, so try to stick with people who always see the bright side of life and who are good at cheering you up. Stay away from naysayers who tell you the things you want to do can't be done. Because the truth is, anything that you can think of can happen -- if you persevere.)

(Aquarius, January 21 to February 18: Recent fires have left scorch marks on a lot of reputations -- is yours included in that burned bunch? Double-check where you stand with the people who matter today. Your reputation is something you've worked very hard to build, and it should be your top concern today. Chances are, you're still looking rosy -- but the act of touching base will keep you in the pink. Making the extra effort 'just in case' is what put you in the high-integrity category to begin with.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Keep in mind that your friends in high places are primarily your friends. It would be a shame to forget this fact, especially if you're growing too interested in how they can get you where you need to be. The minute this focus eclipses your concern for their personal happiness, you run the risk of losing a friendship. These friends are valuable to you not for where they can take you, but for who they are. Forget what they do for a living, and pay attention to what they teach you. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.

Inspiration: Red Lipstick Guide for Fall 2009

{a special excerpt from one of Canada's leading fashion magazines, Fashion Magazine...}

{’80s decadence in fuchsia-red. As seen at: Gucci, Sonia Rykiel, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Sportmax and Issa. Wear it: Bold and bright. “Go big or go home. Don’t be afraid to wear colour and play up your features. Just remember that shape is very important here, so sculpt those cat eyes and contour cheekbones before painting on your fuchsia lip,” says Wencel. Try: Rimmel Renew Lipstick ($7) in “Funtime Fuchsia,”  Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick ($10) in “Fuchsia Fusion,” and Cover Girl Continuous Color Lipstick ($7, all at drugstores) in “Fabulous Fuchsia.” }


{Goth redux in berry-red. As seen at: Diesel Black Gold, Costume National, Giorgio Armani, John Richmond and Erin Fetherston. Wear it: Thick and lacquered. “It’s not the easiest of looks to wear, but if done properly, it will be a showstopper,” says Wencel. “Keep the rest of your makeup and hair very clean and simple so you don’t look too theatrical.” Try: Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Lacquer ($39, at department stores) in “Dragon,” DuWop lipstick ($25, at Shoppers Drug Mart) in “Private Red,” and  Cover Girl Outlast All-Day Lipcolor ($11, at drugstores) in “Burgundy.”}


{Bold statement in berry-red. As seen at: Christian Dior, Moschino Cheap & Chic, Givenchy, Chapurin and Luca Luca. Wear it: Matte, dabbed on with your finger, and paired with a neutral cream eyeshadow, says Greg Wencel, celebrity hair and makeup artist for Cover Girl. “Playing with textures is what makes this look modern. The sheer sheen on your eyes will make them stand out, without overpowering the depth of your matte lip.” Try: Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain ($10, at drugstores) in “Wild Berry Wink,” Guerlain KissKiss Baby ($35, at department stores) in “Red Nude,” and  L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lip Colour ($11, at drugstores) in “Classic Wine.”}


{Classic cool in blue-red. As seen at: Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab, L’Wren Scott, Alexander McQueen and J. Mendel. Wear it: Perfectly applied, like the “ultimate classic looks worn by screen sirens, from Marilyn to Madonna,” says Wencel. “Pair with liquid black eyeliner and fresh, glossy skin to keep this look from being too retro.” Try:  Lancôme Color Fever Matte ($32, at department stores) in “Red Avant-Garde,” Cover Girl Continuous Color Lipstick ($7, at drugstores) in “Classic Red,” and Dior Sérum de Rouge ($40, at department stores) in “Crimson Serum.” }


{Fresh glamour in orange-red. As seen at: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Yohji Yamamoto, Iceberg, Moschino and Ruffian. Wear it: Layered, with multiple coats. “Balance the orange lip with a bold set of brows, and keep the rest of your makeup to a bare minimum to create the look of perfect symmetry,” advises Wencel. Try: Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick ($13) in “Stellar Sunrise,” Cover Girl Continuous Color Lipstick ($7, both at drugstores) in “Really Red,” and M.A.C Lustre Lipstick ($17, at the Bay) in “Surprise Me.”}

Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius

{Daily horoscope for Wednesday, October 21, 2009.}


(Libra, September 23 to October 22: Pluto goads Saturn in your sign, prompting you to kick in the door to the executive suite and trample anything that gets in your way. Ambition is a good thing, but know it will take time and patience to realize your goals. Fortunately, you can court the right sort of people (including a special guy) who gently support your vision.)

(Scorpio, October 23 to November 21: LIKE THE UNIVERSE, November dawns with a big bang. Take a hint from fellow Scorpio Georgia O'Keeffe, who believed that to create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage. Put theory into practice amid the chaos, as this is your optimum month to promote yourself. Mostly, it's time to paint a new picture of your life, especially in relationships. Use bold strokes and go for what you want. Fortunately, your resourcefulness has you coming up roses.)

(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: Friends + money = disaster. If you’re unfamiliar with this equation, take a refresher course. The solution: say no, however difficult it may be. But do say yes to that friend when they tell you that dream is worth chasing. It’s time to formulate new action plans. One should involve upping your energy levels because you’re going to get very busy very soon. Horoscope via Flare.com. Photograph Source, Martin Lidell. Tomorrow October 22nd's horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.)

Spring 2010

{lovely gauzy, wispy and delicate fraying edges of fabrics, even in the footwear, from Designer, Karl Lagerfeld}

Inspiration: {Books Galore}

{Isn't this room so appropriately dressed for fall (perhaps even Halloween) decor (there is even a black cat in the shot)? Absolutely love the books right up to the ceiling, the window and of course, the warm colours.}

Daily Horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo

{Daily horoscope for Tuesday, October 20, 2009}


(Cancer, June 21 to July 22: Saturn shifting signs could send you scuttling for cover. Your home will prove less than a sanctuary, probably due to your partner; this is your cue to develop a thicker shell and claim more space (physical or emotional). Meanwhile, the passion quotient is high while your imagination is in overdrive, and that’s promising for a different kind of undercover action.)

(Leo, July 23 to August 22: Mars fuels a lust for getting a life, just when Saturn raises the blinds on what (or who) is possible. Although you can’t see a clear path to that great potential, keep looking. That guy who shares your curiosity and spirit of adventure is out there. Time to start editing yourself, as in limiting your chat time. It’s crucial that you not only say what you mean but mean what you say.)

(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: Though you long to hunker down, it may be a little too lively in your vicinity for comfort. But peace of mind is restored easily once you set limits with noisy neighbours. Meanwhile, a romance rockets you out of your comfort zone into a pleasure palace. But if you find your morals challenged, it’s time to return to home base. Horoscope via Flare.com. Photograph source, Flickr. Tomorrow, October 21st's horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagitarrius.)
