Today marks the beginning of a wanderlust month for you, Libra. This month you'll get a travel bug -- perfectly timed for the long holiday weekend. If a vacation isn't possible, spice up your normal routine by heading out to a hip bar or exotic restaurant -- or at the very least, read an exciting page-turner that takes place in a faraway land.
The sun is in your house of intimacy starting this month, which means you'll want to focus on your inner-circle friendships as well as your significant other. You'll also want to get in tune with your body this month, so try a new activity like salsa dancing with your man, or a burlesque class with your best girls. You may face several rumors in the workplace or among friends, so release any potential anger build-up with high intensity workouts.
Your best beauty buy this month: Show off your sexy side with a bold lipstick. Try a fabulous shade of red, like Nars Lipstick, $24, or Revlon ColorBurst, $7.99.

Sagittarius, November 21 to December 20
You're about to enter a commitment-phase, Sag. Today, the sun heads into your seventh house of partnerships. Whether the commitment is business or romance, you'll need to spend time to considering whether you'll stay true to yourself in the agreement. Maybe a series of pensive walks are in order. Saturday's lunar eclipse means big changes for your sign -- and you'll want take the big leap. In the vein of massive change, you can be daring with your beauty look, too.
This month is the beginning of your green phase -- with the sun entering your sixth house of health and daily life. You'll be cleansing and simplifying your life, whether that means adding some green juice into your diet or going for a deep-clean facial. If you get a chance to garden, that may bring some much-needed zen into your life. Otherwise, spend time outdoors running, hiking and soaking up the sun (wearing SPF 30 or higher, of course). You may be involved in a clash with your family or friends, so try to surround yourself with calming activities as much as you can.
Starting today, you're entering a phase of dressing up and living the good life. You'll want to be glamorous, so it's time to book your hair appointments and bring back your elegant dresses and statement accessories. You may also start a new romance or rekindle passion in your current relationship during this phase of spring awakening. On Tuesday, stay away from potential hot topics or issues, since a stormy fight is on its way. Otherwise, you're in for an exciting month of outings.
Your best beauty buy this month: Make sure you bring your glam factor with long, luscious lashes. Get 'em by using Dior Diorshow Mascara, $25, or Ardell Fashion Lashes, $3.99.
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.

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.
