April’s star map helps you toe the line between healthy and hedonistic — quite the paradox indeed. With cosmic canoodlers Mars and Venus both in your wellness zone until the 11th, sharing a morning smoothie and a workout with your S.O. can be plenty romantic. Single? Wear your cutest workout attire. A spontaneous juice date could easily happen after that circuit-training class.
But, you won’t spend the entire month in yoga pants. With the sun beaming through your glamorous, amorous fifth house until the 20th, you’ll have your moments to get fancy, too. You’d never want to read this line in a dating profile, but April helps you peg that someone who wants, “A girl who is as comfortable in a little black dress as she is in sweatpants.” Pull the spring dresses to the front of your closet, and get your name on the list for a few insider parties. (These are great places to find love or work the room like a power couple with your mate.) The new moon on the 18th could bring true love, or as Venus cruises through your commitment zone from the 11th on, your relationship could grow more exclusive. On the 8th, your ruling planet Jupiter wakes up from a four-month nap. Be prepared to click with a cutie from a different culture or get plans in motion for a couple’s getaway. Bonus if a passport is required.
Your Beauty Forecast: Vibrant Purple Everything

To get the look, layer on a purple eyeshadow using a large blending brush. Sweep the color around your brow to the inner and outer corner of your eye, as well as along your lower lashline. Then, blend a glittery purple eyeshadow through your crease and under your lower lashline. Pat the shade onto the center of your eyelid, too. Leave your lashes bare. Double the impact with a matte lip balm in a slightly deeper purple hue. But, the main secret to pulling off this look — major confidence.
