We may not be experts in astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

Taurus
Big changes are on the horizon. Translation? Your shoe collection is about to get a major overhaul. Toss those worn-in sandals from last year (along with the excuses) and restock with one pair for every spring trend – bold stripes and ankle straps included.

Gemini
Quit being apprehensive about rocking a cutout one-piece at the beach this season and take the plunge. Not only will you set the crazy-stylish tone among your own posse, you’ll take the entire ocean by storm.

Cancer
The quickest way to make some changes? Step out of that comfort-zone hibernation and into a refreshingly new experience (three-day-long spa retreats totally count).

Leo
Don’t be thrown by recent drama. Instead, surround yourself with things that make you incandescently happy, like brand new strappy wedges, those first few drinks on a patio, and froyo. Lots of froyo.

Virgo
If there’s one thing you can count on for spring, it’s (what feels like) a completely new wardrobe. And with certainty comes the ability to plan. Puerto Rico, here you come – umbrella-clad cocktails are calling.

Libra
There’s a secret behind that silver lining everyone’s been talking about (girl-crush Jennifer Lawrence not included). It comes in the form of metallic, buttery leather accessories. Feeling more positive yet?

Scorpio
There’s nothing better than working your tail off toward a goal. Like that flattering, made-for-you maxi dress that you’ve quite literally been drooling over since February. Now go get your reward.

Sagittarius
Remember what energy used to feel like? Let’s get back to that. Start with some clean eating (adios, whoopie pies). Second, do something – walk, play kickball, practice handstands, whatever. Lastly, update your bedroom. Crisp sheets and a new mirror go a long way.

Capricorn
Harness the inspiration that’s currently taking over, well, everything, and put it to good use. In the wardrobe: play with accessories – belts and pumps and headpieces, oh my. In the office: share your ideas and make some serious moves.

Aquarius 
What you’re feeling right now is anxiety (it happens to the best of us), but here’s how to show that nervous energy who’s boss. Clean your desk. Reorganize the apartment. And most importantly, indulge in that cropped blazer you can wear ten different ways. Resistance is futile.

Pisces
If you’re looking for a personal way to make someone feel better that never goes out of style, try handwritten notes. Yes, they are sent via snail mail and require some extra thought, but hey, that smile is totally worth it.

Aries
Forget stress – new hobbies are way more fun. Take running, for example. Not only do you get to stock up on crazy-adorable athletic gear (they even have flattering skirts out there), you get the toned bod to go with it. New favorite activity: found.

We may not be experts in astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

Aries
The whole world may seem like it’s against you right now – your size sold out in two minutes flat again?! – but don’t freak out. Here’s a fix: Set better reminders, block out time on your calendar (you have a VERY important meeting at 11AM), and click faster than you’ve ever clicked before.

Taurus
You have strong beliefs, especially when it comes to wardrobe rules about transitioning from cold temps to bring-on-the-beach weather. The first cardinal rule for April? Break out the white pants, immediately.

Gemini
Life is all about negotiations – you know that better than anyone. You bartered for that statement-making tapestry in the living room and your wardrobe is the result of some very quick thinking at a sample sale. Now, it’s time for you to talk your way to a higher credit limit.

Cancer
If you’re looking for some clarity (and let’s be serious, who isn’t?), there are a few simple steps you can take to turn your home into the best place for clear thinking. Step 1: Put out a vase with an odd number of bamboo stalks. Step 2: Clear the clutter – all of it. Step 3: Keep color palettes neutral.

Leo
Believe it or not, there’s a creative streak in all of us. Put yours to good use this month and mix up some inventive DIYs to ready yourself for warm weather. Think homemade body scrubs, nail polish, or even candles, and voilà! You’re insta-ready for spring.

Virgo
Okay, being in charge can be fun – but you know what’s even better? A day free of responsibility. So take that next sunny spring day off, grab an indulgent hazelnut macchiato, and read a book cover to cover. Hello, best day ever.

Libra
Brilliant ideas require some serious follow-through. Case in point: That pre-loved vintage Chanel bag that’s quilted to perfection is now a part of your timeless handbag arsenal. Here’s to turning dreams into reality.

Scorpio
You’ve been curating that flirty, breezy, and effortlessly chic spring wardrobe for months now… so what are you waiting for? The weather may not be cooperating just yet, but it’s a fact: if you wear wedges, spring will come.

Sagittarius
Rather than putting off your responsibilities (those shoes aren’t going to re-heel themselves), bite the bullet and get them out of the way. Besides, you have more important things to do, like hoard tons of new sandals.

Capricorn
You started layering chunky statement necklaces with delicate pendants way before the glossies did; your name is practically synonymous with Lucite accessories. Next up? Celestial prints, here you come.

Aquarius 
There’s something to be said about blending two worlds. Introducing the Preppy Free Spirit: a bright, put-together blazer meets laid-back cutoffs and a pair of boho-beaded wedges. Just add sun and you’re ready for Nantucket or the West Coast.

Pisces
Throwing that first outdoor BBQ of the spring season is no easy undertaking, so make sure to divvy up the jobs. Task that overeager neighbor with appetizers and put the girls on bartending duty – then you’re free to put all those DIY décor pins to good use in the backyard.

We may not be experts in astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

Pisces
You know that overload of compassion you’re feeling to help pretty much everyone? Use it as inspiration for your looming closet clean-out and donate more than usual… and then rapidly replace those items with some printed skinnies and a silk blouse.

Aries
There are few things better than feeling totally independent – and no one knows this better than you. Example A: You saw that wrap dress. You wanted that wrap dress. You hit Quick! Buy It. Independence rules.

Taurus
Spring has a tendency to be exhausting – between achieving New Year’s resolutions, saying goodbye to winter, and that annual cleaning, who could blame you. Just don’t forget to take a breather. Especially if it’s in the form of a very long bubble bath.

Gemini
Sometimes it’s hard to balance those more fun items on your social calendar with your less-than-favorable obligations (patio party or project proposal?). On second thought, forget the balancing act – springtime is synonymous with party time.

Cancer
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that expression is all about being in the moment. And this moment is calling for (lots of) animal prints and a seriously bold crimson lip.

Leo
Control isn’t all it’s cracked up to be… Okay, maybe it is. But with that comes great responsibility, so pass on some of that power, don your breeziest kaftan cover-up, and take that long-overdue beach vacation you’ve literally been dreaming about.

Virgo
Here’s a fact: You (or anyone for that matter) can’t read minds. But how does one know what to buy for that oh-so-important birthday that’s looming? Stick to the trends: linked jewelry, printed pants, emerald-green anything, and always-classic trench coats.

Libra
This month is all about taking risks, and with promises of crazy-bright neon clutches, wedge sneakers, and monochromatic outfits on the spring horizon, you’re going to have plenty of reasons to partake.

Scorpio
The key to happiness is to trust your instincts, especially if your instincts are telling you to trash all those shoes with the worn-down-to-the-nail heels and load up on bead-embellished sandals (vacay in the Keys, optional).

Sagittarius
You know the danger zone that straddles the line between friendship and head over heels in love? Yeah, finally owning a Birkin is kind of like that.

Capricorn
Feeling on edge now and then is totally normal, even more so when you have a pending project, upcoming Boutique reminder, or, dare we say it, love interest. Best advice? Go. All. Out. (In other words, Quick Buy everything in sight.)

Aquarius 
Ambition is a very real disease (disclaimer: no, it’s not), so make sure you’re taking the right steps to cure any symptoms. Snag a gigantic suitcase, book a secluded hideaway, and partake in every single water sport. Ambitious vacation: check.

We may not be experts in astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

Aquarius
What’s life without a little mystery? This month, experiment with wearing sultry underpinnings beneath your everyday uniform and revel in knowing something the world doesn’t – and in the extra boost of confidence that inevitably follows.

Pisces
Spring is in the air (well, according to Punxsutawney Phil), so that means it’s time to start thinking Pantone® colors, eye-catching prints, and everything lace (just don’t take the plunge until the snow clears).

Aries
Warmer days are looming (and so is a packed social calendar). The best plan of attack? Start shopping the sale racks for winter steals and the fresh spring collections for a personally curated look that transitions without missing a beat – or a credit card payment.

Taurus
Last spring was all about pleats and peplum, but this year? Quit playing it safe and go for a more daring trend (crop top, anyone?) – you might like what you discover.

Gemini
The last-minute party invite: we all secretly love the drama, but how to get event-ready? Touch up your makeup with whatever’s on hand (mascara can double as eyeliner), let your hair down (literally, then give it a tousle, too), and get ready to schmooze.

Cancer
Counteract any wayward emotions this month with the secret recipe that cures all: one venting session, two new statement necklaces (two-for-one deals totally count), and a batch of these three-ingredient brownies that are mostly Nutella. Repeat as needed.

Leo
Acknowledgement for your hard work is always appreciated – but you know what’s better? The view of a perfectly organized closet filled with all the favorite springtime pieces you’ve been missing all winter long.

Virgo
Rumor has it it’s healthy to express yourself, so what are you waiting for? Snag that screaming-yellow hobo you’ve had your eye on and start communicating.

Libra
Now is not the time to be lazy. Add an accent wall to the bedroom (like, today), rock a powerfully printed jean in public, and wrap that hostess gift you’ve been harboring in the closet. Ready, set, go.

Scorpio
It’s practically a fact that if you put positivity out there, you get it right back. And what’s more positive than an impromptu vacation to a sun-drenched beach? Exactly.

Sagittarius
The fashion stars are aligning, and that can only mean one thing: NYFW. Being the social creature you are, it’s only natural that you drape yourself in a fur vest, don pointy-toe pumps, and throw a party for all 54 runway shows.

Capricorn
Your newly discovered enthusiasm is inspiring to everyone around you – particularly your best friend, since you convinced her she just had to have those Missoni pumps with matching… everything.

We may not be experts in astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

Capricorn
Yes. Finally. The holiday scramble of entertaining, dressing up, buying gifts (and more gifts), and dealing with family drama is over. What to do with that high-strung energy that’s still lingering? Put it to good use and revamp your now tired-looking home base. Give your living room new life with some colorful drapes and a set of artful panel paintings or fall in love with your master bedroom all over again with a new geometric-design rug and too-cute-to-be-true throw pillows.

Aquarius
Here’s a shocker: Those days where you had a fallback plan (okay, also known as mom and dad) are long gone. But the next best thing is as simple as making a budget that’s realistic to stick to. For example, make sure to allot enough cash to cover the everyday bills, then put the rest toward a worthwhile investment. Like, say, a matching vintage Chanel tweed skirt suit. Smart spending never looked so good.

Pisces
Post-holiday time can be seriously depressing – as proved by your newly discovered need to eat every last gingerbread man within arm’s reach. But don’t worry, there’s a cure. Drop the cookie and write down all the things you want to accomplish with a fresh year ahead of you (think big and small), then close your eyes and pick one. If your hand gravitates toward the “revamp look with a whole new wardrobe,” so be it.

Aries
Now is not the time to be stubborn. So instead of sticking to your guns this month, open your mind up to the possibilities of the New Year. Collaborate with new groups at work. Step out of the skirt-and-blazer routine and don an animal print blouse (bonus points for bright colors). Not doing it for you? Stick to topics like celebrity gossip to avoid conflicts.

Taurus
There’s something about this time of year that makes people uptight (blame it on the sugar-cookie overload). But not you. You’re as cool and polished as ever – and you’ve got the always-pressed silky blouse, sleek patent pumps, and gleaming baubles to prove it. Use this situation to your advantage and make an impression on those people that normally intimidate you, like that intriguing stranger across the bar or your boss’s boss.

Gemini
You know those days when you feel just a bit more brilliant than usual? You’re about to have a whole month of it. And that means you’ll need a power wardrobe as bold as you are. Keep your skinnies for the weekends and rock a flattering flare leg (but don’t go too flared) with a tucked floral blouse, perfectly tailored blazer, and a tamed mane for just the right balance of timeless style and don’t-mess-with-me authority.

Cancer
Everyone seems to know that you’re quick to get defensive, but maybe it’s time to step back and welcome 2013 with an open mind. When your BFF tells you red isn’t your color, instead of getting mad, look at the bright side: She’s saving you from a Fashion Police appearance… and you get to go shopping to replace all those rose-colored pieces.

Leo
Truth be told, you may think you’re the world’s best multitasker, but everything seems to turn out better when you donate your time to one project at a time. And guess what – the same goes for trends. Rather than loading up on one of everything (leopard print shoes, fur vests, and emerald-colored everything), choose one and make it the focus of your outfit. Fashion wins will follow.

Virgo
A clean, polished look is at the top of your priorities (let’s face it, Calvin Klein was pretty much made for you), but don’t be afraid to rough up your straight-edge style a little. This means your jewelry and shoe collections are about to get an overhaul. Trade delicate gold chains for layers of multitone metal necklaces and pendants, stack on an oversized watch, and step into a pair of suede and leather booties. You can thank us later.

Libra
Although keeping your cool is what you’re known for, there are certain emotions that get the best of you. Want to learn a new trick? When that person who rubs you the wrong way starts with their antics, politely excuse yourself from the situation and find your nearest computer. Cyber retail therapy is 50% more effective than regular retail therapy (yes, that’s a made-up statistic but you get the point).

Scorpio
One thing that remains true throughout your life? Trust your instincts. If that last-minute trip to the Bahamas sounds like a bad idea, it probably is (well, for your bank account). Instead of feeling like you missed out, treat yourself to a mani/pedi, a margarita, and cuddle up on the couch with Tom Cruise and Cocktail. It’s almost the same thing.

Sagittarius
You pride yourself on your logical approach to, well, everything. But get ready for a shock: The logical choice isn’t always the best choice. Instead of fixating on the shortest way from A to B, we dare you to find a more creative route. Maybe that means looking at a work project differently. Maybe it means giving last season’s favorites to a consignment shop for a little extra spending cash. Where there’s a will (or a leather hobo), there’s a way.

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, dating around the holidays is unlike any other time of year. Here are some foolproof looks for any rendezvous you might have planned during this festive season.

The Nutcracker Ballet
Even if you’re not the biggest fan of ballet, seeing The Nutcracker with someone can be a really romantic and enjoyable evening. Especially when followed by champagne at intermission and a fancy dinner. Keep your look semiformal with a blazer, slacks or dark denim, a dress shirt, and maybe even a tie (possibly a red tartan one).

Blind Date with Your Mother’s Colleague’s Cousin
It’s the season for merriment and yes, blind dates. Often set up by well-meaning family members, these potentially awkward meetings call for an outfit that’s date-appropriate, but isn’t trying too hard. Try straight-leg denim, a button-front shirt, and a neutral-hued V-neck sweater to make a dapper impression.

The Holiday Party
The key is to not show up wearing a hand-knit holiday number a la Colin Firth in Bridget Jones’ Diary (bonus points if you got that reference). Keep the festive revelry subtle with a couple of nice touches, like an appropriately colored tie or sweater. The rest of your ensemble should be simple and neutral, e.g. dark pants and a white dress shirt.

Ice Skating
Whether you’re a pro or not, ice skating is a perfect date for the holiday season. It’s active, fun, and you get to treat yourself to some delicious hot chocolate afterward. Bundle up to stay warm (without looking like a snowman) with straight-leg denim, a cozy plaid button-front shirt, chunky sweater, and warm wool socks.
