Stylish Women of the ZodiacWritten by Sam Stevens
Continued from page 1 At work, power-dressing Librans will choose sleek, tailored suits in jewel-tones or slimming black. They are not much for frills or an excess of jewelery and prefer to sport gold hoops or simple pearl studs as earrings. For relaxing, they prefer well-fitting casual clothing in their favorite colors, pink and black. Librans love Capri pants and similar items that are sexy as well as practical. For an evening out, simplicity is key to Libran style. They either prefer tight clothing, such as little black Lycra dress or they will dress in a theme that subtly reminds you of another era, such as 1970s or 1950s. Librans have a delicate sense of balance so they prefer flat heels to high heels. When it comes to looking fashionable, they definitely believe, like Jackie O, Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn that "less is more." Scorpio When it comes to style Scorpio women they are ruled by their moods. If they are depressed they are sign voted most likely to dress head-toe in black to let others know their state of mind. However, despite fact that their hearts often rule their heads, these females also believe that one should be poised at all time.

For casual wear, easy-going Archers prefer versatile cotton pieces in bright colors that are as sunny as their positive disposition. Many of them are also very eccentric and love to collect vintage clothes such as Russian fur muffs, high-collared satin Mandarin jackets and retro-50s cocktail dresses.

Capricorn Capricorns are blessed them with natural good taste and an eye for quality and durability.

Continued from page 1 A tip for beginners! When I first began reading Tarot, I typed myself up a one sheet that a resembled a chart so that all meanings of each card right side up and upside down were apparent to me at a glance. Typing out meanings like this really does help you learn cards quickly. Your next step would be to get acquainted with your cards. The best way to learn is to study image on each card, one at a time, while memorizing meaning. Be patient. There are usually 78 meanings to learn so this is not always a fast process. Some tarot teachers recommend that you put deck of cards under your pillow at night so you can get better acquainted with them. The idea is that your subconscious will absorb information same way that a sponge soaks up water. You can also meditate or dream upon individual cards in same way by placing them under your pillow. Some people like to charge their cards after they first get them, either by praying or meditating over them, placing a crystal on them or passing them through smoke of incense or placing them in light of full or new moon for a night. Finicky readers believe power of cards is enhanced if they are placed inside a special box or wrapped in a silk pouch. I personally don't think this makes much of a difference because I KNOW I am accurate and my cards have so much gunk and wear and tear on them it is laughable. Still they do say that pomp and circumstance is supposed to add to power of all ritual and magic, so if storing your cards in a special way or in a special place helps you read them better than by all means do so. Also many readers protect their cards by not letting anyone touch them. There is a belief that others can "infect" cards with their beliefs, fears or anxieties. The cards do act as a portal through to other side, so keeping them away from other people may be a good way of preventing people from accidentally "touching" you through cards and passing along possibly toxic energy. Once you get your cards own, spend some time just looking at them, playing with them and getting to know them. It is essential that you feel good about your cards because in future, they will be your best allies when it comes to telling future. Stay Tuned for our Crash Course in Tarot #3: Card Spreads
