The surprising way you can look better instantly…
You always want to look your best, and improving your posture is one of the quickest ways to do that. Leo rules the spine, so if your problem is a curved upper spine—shoulders hunched forward and chest curled inward—you could be prone to pain between the shoulder blades. To counteract the slouch, strengthen your shoulders, chest, and neck muscles with single-arm rows.
Remember last night’s dream? Why you should…
You’re very emotional, intuitive, and perhaps even psychic. If you’re mulling over a dilemma, personal or work related, try looking to your dreams for insight. Keep a notebook by the bed and record what you remember of your dreams as soon as you wake up. The impressions may not come in words, but in doodles or images. Try to capture these messages from your subconscious as best you can. Then find resources that can help you interpret what the images mean. They may not give you the answer to your problem, but they could give you a new perspective on it!
The health need you’re ignoring…
Stress and changes in beauty routines can result in an itchy, flaky scalp. Ick! If you’re crunched for time, you may fail to properly wash your hair or wash it less often, a strategy that can backfire. Failing to thoroughly rinse after washing and conditioning you hair can result in a flaky buildup on your scalp.
Use a moisturizing shampoo a couple of times a week. If itchiness persists and you can’t see a dermatologist right away, warm some olive oil and gently massage it into your scalp with your fingertips. Leave on overnight and then wash it off in the morning. Relief!
Your best feature you didn’t know about…
Of course you love beauty, so it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that you are pretty easy on the eyes yourself! Whatever your strong point happens to be—deep, soulful eyes, a pleasingly proportional body, gorgeous thick hair, or strong, well-shaped hands—play up that feature to your best advantage. You, of all the signs, know precisely how to do that! You also know exactly how to bring out the best in your partner and friends. Let them shine, too, and you will burn that much more brightly!
The most common mistake on Scorpio´s dieting habits…
You have a muscular complexion and live a very active life, so your food regime must supply you with the right nutrients in order to keep you energized and going strong. Do you go on diets? If you do, you must know that zero carb diets are not the right ones for you.
Carbohydrates are a source of sugar that your body needs to be able to produce energy. Most importantly, studies show that zero carb diets can make people lose control, and you do not want that. You are the epitome of controlled, Scorpio.
For you, being the sign of regeneration means you can´t leave out calcium sulphate, the type of mineral your tissue needs to regenerate what your body can´t produce by itself.
Without calcium sulphate, your become prone to colds, sinus infections, skin eruptions, and infertility—among others. The good news is that you can easily get used to eating at least one of these delicious foods once a day: asparagus, kale, figs, onions, coconut, watercress, radishes, black berries, tomatoes, cauliflower, and parsnips.
Tips for a Sag who is stressed out…
It isn’t in your nature to get too stressed (Jupiter helps keep you happy), but if you’ve been feeling on edge lately, it may not be your fault. Research suggests that you can pick up other people’s anxiety! Some think it happens when you smell alarm pheromones in the sweat caused by a stressful situation. Just smelling the chemicals triggers the fear center in your brain even when there’s nothing to be afraid of! Blame evolution for your ability to perceive potential threats (even imaginary ones). If you don’t want to be on high alert all the time, learn a few relaxing, meditative techniques. If you’re calm, you can help your stressed-out friend!
Knowing how and when to wear your favorite fashion item…
The French shoe designer Roger-Henri Vivier said, “to wear dreams on one’s feet is to begin to give reality to one’s dreams.” Dreams and feet—what could be more Pisces than that? Whether your day is spent racing from meeting to meeting, shuttling the kids to practice, standing, running, pacing, or biking, or if you prefer flats, low heels, trainers, spikes, plain or embellished, make sure you wear the right shoes for the activity (you know how sensitive your feet are). If you just can’t abide mile-high heels on your feet, you can still wear luxurious Jimmy Choo perfume on your wrists. With notes of orange, pear, orchid, patchouli, and toffee, it’s spicy and sweet—just like you!
Other people’s stress is bad for Aquarian health!
Youmay think that your famously positive, detached Aquarian demeanor protects you from the negative vibes of others, but you’re wrong! Even if you stay cool as a cucumber in the tensest situation, or in the face of an angry co-worker, that doesn’t mean you’re immune. Chronic stress is bad for your health, weakens the immune system, and increases one’s risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and worse. But studies show that the stress and anxiety you pick up from someone else may actually be worse for you! Is the conference room starting to feel like a pressure cooker? Take a break and get some air!
You’re too gentle to be doing this…
Who thought that you could do something as natural as breathing wrong? It’s true! Most people take frequent, shallow breaths, which actually requires more effort than deep breathing. Shallow breathing also triggers a mild fight-or-flight response, and sensitive Fish don’t need that kind of grief!
Do double duty by practicing deep breathing while you do yoga or lift weights. It’s common to hold your breath when you concentrate, but if you exhale with the effort (lifting a barbell, doing an ab crunch), you’ll make your breath work for you, activating your core and stabilizing your spine so you can do that Sun Salutation more efficiently!
Need some grounding? Try this scent…
No wonder fruity orange oil is associated with your sign—when used in aromatherapy it can help calm the mind and ease stress! Whether you’re seeking a fragrance for a business meeting, special date, or just hanging with friends, you can’t go wrong with one built around one of the many guises of orange. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet subtly melds orange blossom and musk, Prada Amber comforts with mandarin and vanilla, and Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine Cologne combines exotic blood orange and amber. Choose a different one for each encounter!
