How a Sag can make the right choice every time…
Everybody gets little stressed when they have to make a big decision (yes, even you), but there are ways to make the process easier. If the stakes are high and you have two choices (we’re not talking blue or green shirt here), take the time to ask yourself if there are really only two options. Perhaps you’re thinking about ending a relationship—maybe your S.O. told you what to do one too many times! Are the only options really to break up or stay together? Is it an all-or-nothing deal? Consider taking a break from each other for, say, two weeks. That sounds a lot less harsh than, “I’m outta here!”
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to appreciate this Libra!
Not all the stars are in Hollywood, and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has done his best to introduce as many as he can to the world! Growing up, he was a big fan of Carl Sagan, and he fondly remembers when Dr. Sagan tried to recruit him to Cornell. Tyson went to Harvard instead, but he followed in Sagan’s footsteps as host of Fox’s Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
Like all Libras, he wears many hats. A college wrestler, rower, and dancer (winner of a national Latin ballroom competition), today he’s a research scientist, author, and collector of fine wines. With Libran good humor he’s taken the flak for downgrading Pluto from planetary status. He takes controversy in stride, “you’ve got to be so deeply in love with your subject that when curve balls are thrown, when hurdles are put in place, you’ve got the energy to overcome them.”
How to balance your work and life, and have more fun, too!
Nothing would make you happier than balancing your work with your personal life. You have Scales for a symbol after all! You crave a workplace that is bright, uncluttered, and intellectually stimulating. Boredom is a big no-no!
But your social life is vitally important to you, too. And with Venus as your ruler, you also love your creature comforts and beautiful surroundings. You need a job that challenges you yet also leaves you enough time to nurture your relationships. Find that perfect sweet spot and you’ll be one happy camper!
Try this new fad for an instant beauty boost…
Silky smooth natural oils are the latest thing for your skin. Experts say they moisturize better than lotions because they absorb more quickly. They also nourish the skin with vitamins and antioxidants!
Pomegranates are associated with Libra, and it turns out that pomegranate seed oil is loaded with vitamin C, so it’s great for brightening and evening your skin tone. And strange as it may seem, you can even use it on oily skin. Pomegranate seed oil helps firm the skin and minimize pores. Combine it with glycolic acid serum and smooth it on in place of moisturizer. Be good to your skin and it will be good to you!
The biggest role a Libra will ever play…
If you don’t make your living as a peace negotiator on the world stage, you should. Nobody can mediate a dispute the way you can. Your ability to see all sides of an issue is unparalleled. You have a deep sense of fair play, and you can debate your views with equanimity and intelligence.
And while some think that all this prevents you from making decisions, au contraire. You can—once you abandon the notion that everything must work out in a perfect 50/50 balance. Try it and see.
It isn’t easy being a Scorpio, you´re ruled by two planets…
Your sign is ruled by extremes. People will often tell you that with you that it´s either black or white, no in-betweens. If you often feel this tug-of-war inside of you, it´s not your fault. It´s your stars and the universe to blame. Your two rulers, Pluto and Mars, are quite opposite in the realm of astrology. Mars is the one that gives you your initiative, strength, and self-assertiveness. But Pluto incites you to have a higher consciousness by giving you intuition and that sixth sense that often characterizes you. So next time you feel really torn between two ends, just remember, it´s only natural. A real harmony will prevail for you when you gracefully balance the influences of these two star superpowers.
Is your need for intimacy pressuring you to have sex?
One of Scorpio´s main needs is intimacy, the real kind of connection that allows you to really get to know someone. Very often, this gets confused for just sex and conversation, and it´s very possible that this hunger for closeness might drive you to experience hollow and forgettable encounters.
The truth is, as hard as it is for you to know it, most people don´t know, haven´t experienced, or are afraid of being this exposed. So how are you going to figure out if you should get involved or not? Trust your instincts, Scorpio! They are your best tool! If you get the feeling someone is incapable of this wholesome togetherness, might not be a red flag for others, but it is for you!
Best ways to relieve stress…
Every sign suffers from stress—even those that are chill and laid back. But we all deal with it in different ways, and a lot of it is related to the element that rules us. For you Scorpio, the first thing to do is take some time for yourself. You, more than any other sign, have to occasionally take time alone.
Do something that pleases you. If you like to paint or write, do it in a beautiful garden, or even better, a place near the water. It will help you recover your sense of purpose. Meditation combined with an exercise of your choice—like running or yoga—will give you profound peace. Not the workout kind? Lose yourself in a mystery, spy movie, or novel.
The one thing to remember, Scorpio, is that even if you need to take time on your own, it´s also important to not shut yourself out completely from the world. You need the affection and input from your loved ones. Remember to go back to them once you have managed to center yourself.
The way to win extra points at work…
As a Scorpio, one of your main strengths is your resourcefulness. It could due to your job position or industry, because you know a lot of people, or simply because you´re street smart! The question is: have you been taking full advantage of it? In a time when networking is fundamental in the professional field, you can certainly turn this into your benefit. Keep your eyes open for opportunities in which you can help a coworker, your office manager, or even your boss—in any way you can. They will certainly appreciate your initiative to help them out, and you don´t only get to build some good career karma, but also get some extra points at work!
Five reasons Joaquin Phoenix is the coolest Scorpio…
Staying true to one´s self is difficult in Hollywood. Everyone seems to be up for grabs and have a price. But Joaquin Phoenix always stays true to himself, and that makes him one of the most exciting Scorpio celebrities out there.
Joaquin doesn’t waste any time. When he´s not acting, he´s playing music, getting artistic, directing a music video, producing a movie, or defending a good cause.
He doesn´t care about shallow people, awards, and events. He has publicly made fun of the media obsession with celebrities.
He prefers to take a karate classes than attend the Oscar´s ceremony.
He can be really scary but also really cute. Sure you hated him in Gladiator, but you also loved him in Her, and were blown away in Joker.
He can get really edgy in his public stunts. From growing a “cast away” beard, to announcing his fake acting retirement, to acting mentally insane on TV, there´s no doubt Joaquin always keep us on our toes!
