Aries, March 20 to April 18

Aries, March 20 to April 18
With the sun passing over your third house of communication and partnerships, it's time to buddy up on your beauty routine. Now's the time to call a girlfriend you haven't seen in a while for a mani-pedi date. You can also amp up your summer fitness routine with a workout companion -- even though you're an individual, sweating with a friend will help make your healthy habits stick. To lighten things up with your romantic other this weekend, go on a picnic or see a funny movie while wearing your hair down and loose. Since you'll want some playfulness on the weekends (and you're embracing your new communication skills), play up your lips with a new lip crayon.

Your best beauty buy this month: Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick, $25.

Taurus, April 19 to May 19

Taurus, April 19 to May 19
This month, the sun is rising over your second house of planning and material security. Translation? Your work life is about to get really good -- but you'll need to find a consistent schedule to keep your earthy self grounded and peaceful. Since this month may throw some stress your way, prepare yourself with energizing and enriching foods (think green juice, berries, almonds, and/or Greek yogurt) rather than going on a sugar and caffeine bender. And while you're on your career spree, try to carve out time in your week for a yoga class -- or at least some easy at-home poses.

Your best beauty buy this month: A BB Cream that gives your skin a hydrating and glowing foundation for the day, like Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector, $12.99 or Too Faced Beauty Balm Multi-Benefit Skin Care Makeup, $32.

Gemini, May 20 to June 19

Gemini, May 20 to June 19
Today marks the beginning of your birthday month, so HBD all twins! This month you'll want to indulge in some "me time." You'll enjoy dabbling in several different personal growth avenues -- whether that means signing up for a transformational workshop, taking that cooking class you always wanted to try, picking up a paint brush, or splurging on an individual Pilates class. While you're feeling alive and inspired this month, it's time to explore new hair and makeup looks.

Your best beauty buy this month: Be adventurous with a smoky eye palette, like Urban Decay Smoked Eyeshadow Palette, $49, or a bright color palette, like Sonia Kashuk Instructional Eye Palette in "Eye on Pure Color", $19.99.

Cancer, June 20 to July 21

Cancer, June 20 to July 21
Starting today, the sun is in your twelfth house -- the house of the subconscious and dreams. This month should be about reflecting and rejuvenating, and also paying attention to your creative side. Record your thoughts in a diary, or if that's too old school for you, create a Pinterest board with your past and present inspirations. A potential health check this month means you should focus on getting your beauty sleep and your vitamins. During this time of recalibrating and moving forward, try a more creative workout, like an at-home dance fitness DVD, or a nature hike that'll balance your body and your mind.

Your best beauty buy this month: Since you're in a dreamy state of mind, get sky-high lashes with Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara, $28, or Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Black Drama Mascara, $7.99.

Leo, July 22 to August 21

Leo, July 22 to August 21
This month, you're embracing your people-person side -- while the sun rises over your eleventh house of group activity. Especially after the past few career-centric weeks, you'll want to let your hair down and embrace your quirkier side. While you're branching out in your beauty routine, branch out in your social routine too -- whether that means joining Meetups, trying out group dates, or heading to group discussions or book groups. Tuesday has a midweek strain in store, so stay upbeat with your comfort food of choice, and focus on planning your goddess look for the weekend.

Your best beauty buy this month: Colorful (and thankfully temporary) hair chalk and a bright lip.

When you need some beauty inspiration, you probably look to your favorite stars, beauty blogs, glossy mags, and TV shows. All well and good, but why not expand your horizons and read your horoscope? Those other kinds of stars can predict interesting life patterns -- how you may feel towards a relationship, any stressors headed your way, transitions and successes in store, and events or challenges that will spark your creativity and ambition.

I may be in the minority here, but when I'm looking for advice (whether its beauty-related or life-related) I read my horoscope. Astrology that provides room for interpretation makes me feel like I'm divining my future (minus the crystal ball and tea leaves) -- and it inspires me to be more proactive, creative, and aware of my actions. That's why we're bringing you these beauty horoscopes every month. Our hope is that they provide the little pushes you need to shape your next month -- not just with beauty tips but also with advice for your wellbeing.

These beauty horoscopes take into account the next phase of the astrology cycle -- the month of Gemini that spans from May 20 to June 19. Check out what's in store for you (based on readings from the Astro Twins) as well as the beauty buys that'll help you look and feel your best.
