Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

You’re all fired up, ready to rock 2009 in your usual eccentric style! January is full of passion and pleasure for you, Aquarius, so enjoy it while it lasts. Remember, Carpe Diem, or, for the Latin challenged, seize the day!

With all the sensual pleasures flooding your life this month, make sure you take some time to slow down and smell the roses – your overabundance of energy can get you into more trouble than it's worth if you’re not careful. Since Aquarius is normally very laid back, mellow and easy going, this sudden burst in your life can prove unproductive in several ways – either through the addiction to the adrenaline or the crash when your surge ceases to exist. Do a little soul searching right now, even if it’s just in your down time, and beware of any unpleasant surprises that may come your way as a result.

Since you’re ready and rarin’ to go this month, it may be the perfect time to join a gym or start a fitness plan, to help burn off some of that extra energy you seem to have. Since you’re in tune with your emotions and body, all this extra energy may manifest in some wild and crazy ways, so make sure you have a good anti-frizz product for hair and some extra dryer sheets handy – you’re electric!

Celestial Solutions:  You’re so on fire right now; people are going to be drawn to your “shocking” personality! Since eyes are the window to the soul, make sure you play them up as best you can to make the best impression you can! Try an eye color enhancing eyeshadow like Philosophy Shimmer Strips to help bring out your true colors.

Since you’re the wild and crazy dreamer of the astrological bunch, and you’re not afraid of the shock value, put even more emphasis on your eyes with colored contacts! Fun and flirty, available in a variety of shades for every eye color, colored contacts are a great way to stand out from the crowd. If you already have prescription eyewear, talk to your eye care specialist. If not, you can order colored contacts from a site like  Color Me Contacts that range from classy to crazy.

And, for any little last minute beauty surprises that may pop up (and of course, they pop up at the worst time humanly possible!) stash an emergency beauty kit in your car, purse or desk like this one from  With You in Mind.   

Tip: Take good care of (colored) contacts so they don’t irritate eyes! Make sure you take them out each night before bed, use appropriate care products to lubricate and moisturize them and if you have any discomfort, talk to your eye care professional or take them out ASAP. Corneal abrasions will definitely rain on your parade!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You’re tired of conformity for conformity’s sake. Break loose this month and start doing things your own way – even if it’s subtle at first.

Tip: Even with a fast drying top coat, nail polish will still take at least a full three hours to dry. Make sure you have your cell phone, a full drink/non-crumby snacks and any magazines/remotes/iPods you may want handy before you start. And, at the risk of being crude, make sure you polish on an empty bladder – buttons/zippers, toilet paper and fresh nail polish do not mix.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Trust that everything happens for a reason. Even when times get tough, there’s still a lesson to be learned and a brighter future ahead. No matter how rough things may get, try to think positive and know it will get better!

Celestial Solution: Relax this month and let your troubles melt away! Try skin and body care with a positive, uplifting theme to help inspire you to reject your remorseful rut. An all-time favorite – Philosophy.

Tip: For a healthy lather with shower gels, or a tub full of foam with bubble bath, use water that’s not too hot and running at a good clip. The vigor of the flow will help boost the bubbling ability of lather and foam.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Romance and sensuality are in the stars this month for you, Taurus! If you’re single, love will be headed your way! Involved? Make sure you find time to connect with your special someone over a shared interest or mutual activity.

Celestial Solution: Shower together! Seriously! Even if you have nothing more in common, a sensual shower or romantic bubble bath may be just the thing to bring you both closer together (in more ways than one!). Take it even further with a massage, with a basket of romantic goodies like these from Rum and Cake.

(Some scents to consider from Rum and Cake -- Sensuality, Amaretto, Tahitian Vanilla, Rum Punch and Sandalwood.)

Gemini (May 21-  June 21)

It’s a new year and a new you! The winds of change are near, but keep a watchful eye on finances – they may be a little tight right now.

Celestial Solution: There’s no easier way to change up your beauty and fashion forecast than with a change of hair color! From mild to wild, check out Clairol to figure out what hair color product is best for you as well as to try out their hair color studio, where you can upload a picture and try on different hair colors. 

Tip: When switching up your hair color, make sure you stay in the same tonal family, no matter how light, dark or bold you’re going. Unsure as to whether or not you’re warm or cool? Neutral or natural shades will be your best bet.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

This year is off to a warm, happy, peaceful start for you, Cancer, but don’t get lost in daydreams and nostalgia as a result. Keep an eye on the future to avoid unproductive lapses into the past.

Celestial Solution: Keep memories close to heart without getting lost in the past with a special piece of jewelry. Check out this stunning piece from Clevergirl (on Etsy) that’s sure to keep your dreams and desires alive (and close to you!). 

Tip: Treat special jewelry with extra TLC by using a bona fide jewelry cleaner to keep silver and stones sparkling. A soft bristle toothbrush and jewelry cleaner is more than enough to keep gems gorgeous. Can’t find jewelry cleaner? Vinegar and warm water will do the trick! Harsh soaps can damage precious stones.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Be patient! Good things come to those who wait! It may be hard at first, but know that your patience will be rewarded in the end.

Celestial Solution: Running low on patience and/or time? Multi-task in your beauty routine! Try theBalm Hot Mama which is a 3-in-1 solution for eyes, cheeks and skin.

Tip: Keep brushes separate when using a multi-tasking beauty product. Using the same brush for multiple areas of the face can transfer bacteria and cause a whole host of problems – from acne to cold sores.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your creativity is explosive right now. If you’ve never considered picking up a paint brush or sculpting, now may be the time to do so. Be especially cautious to use empathy this month, especially when it comes to family matters.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Changes are in the air, especially in domestic matters. It may be a little rough at first, but dreams will start to take shape as a result.

Celestial Solution: Makeup cases can help get your cosmetics out of the bathroom drawer and organized. No matter your size preference, Yazmo  has a huge selection of cases for every need and budget. Since you may be shifting from place to place this month, a good, sturdy makeup case may be just the thing to help you take your dreams, and cosmetics, on the go.

Tip: If you're like me, you get makeup everywhere in your makeup case. A little of the protective self-stick lining that is often used in kitchen cabinets, pressed down into the bottom of your case can help make clean up a breeze -- just peel, trash and replace.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Compromise is hard, but you have to learn to be flexible – especially in matters of the heart.

Celestial Solution: Why compromise when you don’t have to? Have it all with this uber cute interchangeable purse from Miche Bag!

Tip: A hanging “shoe rack” (for the back of a door) is a great way to store smaller purses and interchangeable skins.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) 

It’s business as usual for you, Sagittarius, but cheer up! All your hard work and dedication is about to finally pay off.

Celestial Solution: Always on the go, your stress levels are probably sky-rocketing! Since there aren’t enough hours in the day for you as it is, try an essential oil stress relieving roll-on like Decleor  to help calm and soothe frazzled nerves and a racing mind in an instant.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Life is dangerous for you right now, and it may excite you to no end! Be wary of any deception you may be lured into, especially where romance is concerned.

Celestial Solution: Want to take a risk and walk on the wild side? Before you cheat on your sweetie, or make any other regrettable moves in the name of excitement, consider a small tattoo! Whether it’s loud and proud or small and well out of view of prying eyes, check out AAA Tattoo Directory for information on shops near you.

Tip: Always research any artist and shop thoroughly before committing. The first thing to look for? Make sure there is a working autoclave on the premises and it has recently been tested to ensure it's working within specified perimeters.
