What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Jaime Richards — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:32:00 PDT

Gemini isn't just one of the funnest roller coasters ever (Cedar Point for the win), but it also happens to be the third sign of the zodiac. Personality-wise, Geminis are known for their sharp wit and curious natures. And seeing that they're the sign of the twins, Geminis are therefore known for being dual-natured and complex. Think versatility and the ability to change direction to adapt to a wide array of situations. At their worst, Geminis are tense and moody, and at their best, they're lively and charismatic. Famous Geminis include: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (naturally), Angelina Jolie, Venus Williams, Zoe Saldana, Courteney Cox, Heidi Klum, Natalie Portman, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Carey Mulligan.

To bring out your inner Gemini beauty: Deck yourself out in colors that are just as bold and bright as you, such as orange and yellow. Your focus area is your hands and arms, so try a fun polish or an oversized perfume ring as an accent. And don't be afraid to create a few paradoxes, pairing the bold with the tame and the muted with the vibrant. To find out more about the Gemini-themed products above, just keep reading.

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Taurus (April 21-May 20)

If you're a Taurus, you can be described as patient, decisive, and reliable. And while you're likely a lover of luxury, your practicality ensures you won't take your need for quality goods to levels of excess. When times are tough, you may be considered temperamental and resentful, but your warm-hearted nature makes up for it in the long run. Famous Taureans include: Janet Jackson, Rosario Dawson, Penelope Cruz, Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Alba, Tina Fey, Malin Akerman, Adele, and Cate Blanchett.

To bring out your inner Taures beauty: Think green. As an earth sign, greenish tones (your color) appeal to you, while bright, bold tones tend to take a back seat. The throat and neck are your focus body parts, so be sure to spritz on perfume and try hairstyles (such as updos) to bring attention to the area.

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Aries (March 21-April 20)

Jaime Richards — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:05:00 PDT

Much like their symbol, the ram, Arians possess an animal magnetism. The first sign of the zodiac, those born under its rule can be described as confident, bold, and energetic. At their worst, however, Aries folk are characterized by their bossy, self-centered, and blunt natures. These folks are born leaders and are known for their abilities to be both enthusiastic and ambitious. Famous Aries include Kristen Stewart, Victoria Beckham, Jessica Chastain, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Norah Jones, Keira Knightley, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emma Watson, Reese Witherspoon, Diana Ross, and Kate Hudson.

To bring out your inner Aries beauty: Focus on accentuating your hair with volume and accessories. Think: the bigger the better. Red brings out your fiery personality, so give the crimson hue its time in the spotlight, wearing the shade on your cheeks, lips, or incorporated into your coiffure. There's nothing dull about an Arian, so don't be afraid to bring out the sequins or glitter either. To find out more about the Aries-themed products above, just keep reading.

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Jaime Richards — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:14:00 PST

While Aquarians may be the popular ones, Pisceans, who fall under the 12th sign of the zodiac, are some of the most empathetic souls around. Imaginative and understanding, people born under Pisces can also be described as romantic, comforting, intuitive, and, at their worst, even tortured. This arts-loving bunch is usually attracted to the water and swimming; their sign is two fish, after all. Famous Pisceans include Queen Latifah, Jessica Biel, Eva Longoria, Rashida Jones, Ashley Greene, Drew Barrymore, Eva Mendes, and Rachel Weisz.

To bring out your inner Pisces beauty: Strike a balance between the edgy and ethereal, wearing sparkly polish in sea green (your color) or violet. Accessorize your hair with cute accents to bring out your feminine side, but then bust out a temporary tattoo to showcase your chameleon-like ways.

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Jaime Richards — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:15:00 PST

If popularity contests existed in the literal sense, Aquarians would probably be the winners. Often thought of as cool and somewhat eccentric, Aquarians love to surround themselves with family and friends. Those born under Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac, are typically inventive, original, and want to make the world a better place. This free-spirited bunch is also known for wearing effortless, boho styles. Famous Aquarians include Brandy, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Christina Ricci, Mischa Barton, and Denise Richards.

To bring out your inner Aquarian beauty: Accentuate your sparkling eyes with a pretty blue or violet shadow, toss your hair back into a carefree ponytail, and spritz yourself with fragrances that are citrus-based, crisp, and airy. Think: eucalyptus, bergamot, blue florals, and purple florals, like lavender. To find out more about the Aquarian-centric products featured above, just keep reading.

Do Your Eyes Match Your Zodiac Sign?

Artist Slaughterose created this cool zodiac eye chart, with makeup and eye shapes for each of the 12 signs. Libra is based off her own eyes, but all the drawings are based off of traits and colors traditionally associated with each individual sign. Does your sign's drawing match your eye shape? And would you wear the same shadow and liner shades as featured in her colorful piece?

Pisces and Prejudice: Astrology Gets Compared to Racism

Colleen Barrett — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 01:00:30 PST

Last week our very core was shaken when we thought our zodiac signs had changed, because the Earth's position in the universe has moved. Then we all exhaled when astrologists said they saw this coming and have been factoring in this movement all along, so we all went back to being Geminis and Scorpios, albeit with an extra dose of skepticism. But with the zodiac's credibility in retrograde, it's the perfect time to wage a star war; the perfect time to compare astrology to racism.

Now if you've ever been annoyed by someone asking your sign and only to respond by sizing you up, you're going to like this. Astrology's compared to racism because signs are determined by when and where we're born, neither of which we have control over, and then others use it to formulate opinions (prejudices) about us. Once astrology zealots know our sign, they look for behaviors - say impatience in Aries or emotional instability in Cancers - to confirm their hypothesis.

The difference, of course, is in how it's used. Since astrology hasn't waged any wars to my knowledge, I'd say it's not quite the same. But when followed excessively, is it a form of prejudice?
