DIY Astro Guide: What Your Horoscope Means This Week, 4/18/2016
As the spring temps start heating up, so does your love life. While you’ll want to proceed with caution before making things “officially official” with your boo, don’t let retrograde prevent you from expressing your true feelings. Beware of your competitive side all this week as you suddenly feel an urge to come out on top in the workplace. Play fair and square, and the results are guaranteed to be in your favor. Rock a Coachella-inspired look in the office with these boho style essentials + scroll down to see what the stars have in store for you in this week’s AstroStyle horoscope.
With Pluto’s annual cycle in retrograde underway, you’ll have plenty of time to reevaluate your professional career. If the past few months have been all work and no play, then it might be time for you to move on to bigger (and better!) opportunities. Or better yet, ask for a promotion, so that you can earn the paychecks that you deserve.

When relationship drama has got you in a never-ending downward spiral, make an effort to just step away from it all and work on YOU. If commitment means deciding between a bold pink lippy and a Kylie Jenner-inspired pout, then you’re so down. There’s nothing like some fresh ink or a new ‘do to give you life once again.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Try DIYing your very own creations for a fraction of the price — this goes for both furniture and clothes.
