Is there an empty pillow next to yours? This April, you’ll want to fill it with someone who is both caring and daring. While you’re usually the stable one in relationships, what if you got to be the wild child for a change? With lusty, energetic Mars in your passion zone all month, you can really let your hair down. (PDA isn’t huge with your reserved sign, though, so set up the proverbial red room and have your amour du jour there.) You could meet your match anywhere, so fill your calendar with dress-up dates and A-list parties.
Soulful expressions of love will be easier to communicate after the 8th, when candid Jupiter rouses from a four-month retrograde. Jupiter’s U-turn could bring a proposal or a shared purchase, like a sweet, one-bedroom-plus-den overlooking the city lights. Babies on the brain? April is a fertile month — especially as Mars and Venus cruise together until the 11th. Tread carefully mid-month, as feelings of repressed rage, jealousy, or sadness may come flooding out. Vent to a neutral third party who can help you edit your complaints into a proactive request. That way, you won’t burn bridges with your boo.
Your Beauty Forecast: An Au Naturale Glow

To get the look, apply foundation with a wet sponge to create a sheer veil. Use a soft dome brush to apply concealer to any trouble spots, and then set with powder. After prepping your eyes with primer, fill in your brows with a brow pencil. Next, brush your brows up with brow gel for a natural finish. Accentuate your angles by sweeping bronzer under your cheekbones and up toward your temples. Dust powder highlighter atop your cheekbones, under your brows, in the inner corners of your eyes, and on your Cupid’s bow. Finish with a light, blush-colored lipstick, applied with a brush for a softer, romantic finish.
