Beauty for Your Sign: Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21)

BellaSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:57:30 PST

Another month, another set of birthdays in Beauty For Your Sign! This time around, it's Scorpio, which some say is the sexiest sign of the zodiac. (Not a Scorpio? Hold tight, as we'll go through each sign as it comes up.)

Magnetic and mysterious, Scorpios have the ability to attract people, and more than a few of them have a little bad-girl or bad-boy action going on. (Think of Buffy's former beau Angel, for instance. Total Scorpio.) Scorpios are adept at finding out what's going on beneath the surface, so while they can figure other people out, they can be enigmatic themselves. A sign of quiet power, Scorpios are often drawn to unusual ways of looking at the world. For example, Scorpio actresses Maggie Gyllenhaal and Chloe Sevigny have both been rewarded by taking some out-of-the-mainstream roles.

For hair and makeup suggestions for Scorpio,

Your sign was practically made for the smoky eye look, so play up your peepers with a bit of black eyeliner. Try a dark manicure, which is one of fall's biggest trends. For a daytime look, go for a simple-but not too sweet-take on the clean, well-groomed look. Think of Scorpio Julia Roberts, whose hair looks enviably even when she runs out to CVS in sweats. Finally, if there's any sign that gets a thrill from Brazilian waxes, it's Scorpio-the sign that's linked with the reproductive organs and all things sexy. What doesn't : Messy cuticles, split ends, chapped lips. Everyone deals with these things, but detail-oriented Scorpios are most likely to be annoyed by them. Avoid pastels and bright hues, too. When you pick out an eye shadow or lipstick, choose rich colors like purple and emerald rather than lavender and mint.

Scorpio: October 24 – November 22

As a Scorpio, you tend to feel guilty about not being perfect. It pains you to realize your body is not the ideal that you think it should be. Cut yourself some slack and give up on the pursuit of perfection. Find satisfaction in knowing that you are working hard to achieve you fitness goals and you're getting healthier-even if you never lose those last five pounds. Be true to yourself. If you know that your fitness plan isn’t as good as it should be, do something proactive instead of beating yourself up. Remember that self-love is the first step towards happiness and you deserve the best in life. By learning to accept your shortcomings instead of berating yourself, you may find it easier to reach your goals.

The Stars Point to Oscar Wins For Natalie Portman, James Franco, and The Fighter

Annie Scudder — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:00:19 PST

We're making our own Oscar predictions around here, but sometimes it seems like the results are less about merit and more about luck. I got on the phone with astrologer Ophira Edut - a member of the experienced and consistently accurate AstroTwin duo - to discuss the astrological factors influencing Sunday night's results. Here are her predictions!

It's all about Aries. "Jupiter the planet of luck is in Aries right now, so anything with an Aries theme, which involves heroism or a triumph over the odds, has a good shot. Aries is a fighter sign, so The Fighter and The King's Speech should do well overall."
There will be surprises. "During the Golden Globes and SAG awards, Jupiter was in Pisces, which is more like watery and dark, so all the things that won before might not win the Oscars."
Expect red on the red carpet. "This year a lot of bright colors, red or pink, will be a good look - bold, bright colors, more so than the usual pastels. Hair and even earrings are going to be big, going with the Aries theme. Makeup and hair is going to be heavy in the dos and the don'ts."
There will be fashion risks, à la Lady Gaga. "This is a great year for people to do something a little more trendy. Lady Gaga is an Aries. The egg trick was a good one. Aries was the sign of the Grammys, too. So even though she didn't win, she ended up being the most talked about person there. The Golden Globes was a Pisces energy, more watery, flowing, enchanting. This is more fierce and bold, and even a little shocking."
Anne and James will have sexual chemistry. "James Franco might surprise us by being funny and on target. Anne Hathaway is a Scorpio, and there's always a level of sexual chemistry between Scorpios and Aries. It's going to be kind of hot to see them together."
Best actress: "Natalie Portman. The stars are aligned for her. She's at a point as a Gemini to reap the rewards of her hard work."
Best actor: "James Franco. James is an Aries, so that gives him a strong chance of winning. If he doesn't because he's hosting, Colin Firth could win. It'll be a Capricorn moon that night, which is a good night for him. Capricorn is his house of fame. He'll probably make a long, memorable speech if he wins. And he's a Virgo. There are a couple of Virgos that came up strong. Colin Firth and Melissa Leo. They were just finishing a cycle of trying to reinvent themselves or be noteworthy. So for Colin, it could be a nice reward for all the hard work he did."
Best picture: "The Fighter. Now is all about Aries, which is ruled by Mars, the warrior planet."
