Aries (March 21 - April 19) Slow and regular has a lot more effect than sporadic and frantic. Pay attention when you lift weights, swim and, yes, run. Proper form and posture helps your exercise have twice as much impact much more safely.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Layering products can give you a better effect. Do a test run with your favorite smoothing cream and leave-in conditioner, or apply a touch of gel blush on top of a powder, making sure to buff it so it looks subtle.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Quality beats quantity almost every time, especially when it comes to basics. On trendy tops and jewelry you can go low-end. But for shoes, bags, coats and lingerie, spend as much as you can without going into debt.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Sometimes when someone is pushing you around, you have to push back -- or, at the very least, stand up for yourself. If you're a regular at a salon and you feel you're getting sub-par service, speak up now.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Rewrite your personal fashion history by laughing instead of cringing at past mistakes and being honest about the gaps or limitations of your current wardrobe. Now that you know what to fix, you can fix it.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Low on cash? Go a few weeks longer between trims. Add or subtract some product, part your hair in a new place and add some accessories. With those tricks, you can really work this look until your next appointment.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) With so much going on socially and at work, it can be hard to find time for yourself -- sometimes you even feel guilty about it. But your health and peace of mind are worth the effort, so get to a yoga class today.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Some times you want to skip the whole prep routine and leave the house with sunscreen and a ponytail. Go for it. The more comfortable you feel, the more beautiful you are. Don't put on anything that feels false today.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Get the most out of the services you pay for. When you see your stylist, tell her exactly what happens on bad hair days and what you would like to change. Then ask her for any remedies, tips or advice about what to do next.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) What you put on your hair and skin matters, but what you put inside your body truly has a cumulative and long-lasting effect. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lots of water: there's a recipe for life-long beauty.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Some days you go to the sales rack and you discover that your sweater is on clearance at 75 percent off. Try not to dwell on it -- instead, think of all the months of use you've already gotten out of it.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Sometimes the process takes you in a much different direction than you had imagined, but that's the beauty of life. So if on your search for the right pair of jeans you find the coat of your dreams, so be it.
