ASTROLOGY / DATING / VIBES
Taurus is quite the drastic change from Aries. While Aries are ruled by fire and impatience, Taurus epitomizes the literal down-to-earth lifestyle and mentality. Taureans are sensual and loving, but also pretty stubborn (cause duh, they're the bull). Taureans are great friends and lovers to have, so keep them by your side and don't be surprised if they say one or all of these things.
On April 14, Henri Bendel hosted Align at their gorgeous flagship Fifth Ave store in celebration of our New York City launch. We sipped on champagne, got our tarot cards read, and checked out the new Henri Bendel line curated by astrological sign.
If you couldn't make it (😢 ) we still want you to feel the evening's lovely vibes!
From The Vault is a series in which we analyze classic TV & Film characters to determine their matching astrological sign.
If you think reality television is vapid and boring, you’re not watching RuPaul’s Drag Race. Created by the brilliant “Supermodel of the World” RuPaul Charles, Drag Race takes the typical reality show contest set up and injects it with irreverence. Contestants compete to be America’s Next Drag Superstar and show off their Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent in their mastery of the art of drag.
Potheads, wannabe potheads, and weed enthusiasts around the world celebrate April 20 as pretty much a national holiday. The exact origins of 4/20 remain unclear, although numerous conspiracy theories have been circulating for years. In honor of National Weed Day or whatever you like to call it (#bestdayever), we decided to match up each sign to its proper drug or "drug". Happy holidaze.
While endorphins aren't technically a drug, they produce euphoric sensations and have similar effects on the brain as most other hard drugs. Endorphins usually come from some exercise or physical exertion, which makes sense for Aries because they're always on the move.
Weed, like Taurus, is a classic. Taureans love surrounding themselves with stability and good times, and they're also super connected to the earth. Taurus loves simplicity, and weed is just about as simple but classic as it gets.
Mushrooms can be a great time if you're sure you're in a good set and setting. Mushrooms can have two effects though, just like good ole Gemini. While some trips on mushrooms can be pleasant and psychedelic, other mushrooms can actually be poisonous. So, like Gemini, you might never know what you're gonna get.
Salvia is a plant that be grown anywhere—even your backyard. That sounds pretty fantastic to Cancer, doesn't it? Michael Phelps (a Cancer!) was photographed smoking Salvia a few years back. Salvia is classified in the same category as weed, but it's also versatile, like Cancer, and can be either chewed or smoked.
So let's remember from 5th grade DARE that alcohol is a drug! Tequila is a very in-your-face alcohol, just like lovely Leo. Tequila is very much so about quality, because everyone knows that the low-quality type will burn way too much. That's why we always want that top shelf brand Tequila, exactly like Leo.
Peyote, like Ayahuasca, causes deep personal insight and philosophy. Virgo and Peyote go together because Peyote is used also as a pain reliever, and Virgo is always looking to both awaken their soul and help soothe others.
Ayahuasca is a traditional and spiritual drug used primarily by indigenous Peruvians. Many users have spiritual revelations, and Ayahuasca must be done with a Shaman present. Ayahuasca focuses on becoming the best person you can, which aligns pretty much with Libra's point of view and life philosophy.
Cause this shit's intense.
Sagittarius and LSD are connected because LSD deeply connects you to your thoughts. LSD allows you to reach into the depths of your soul and mind, just like any good conversation with a Sag.
Capricorns and Adderall walk hand-in-hand because Adderall makes you focus, and Capricorns need to always be doing work.
Aquarius is opium because the drug comes from a beautiful flower, the poppy. Opium is a pain-reliever and was loved the world round for hundreds of years. Hell, a war was even fought over it. Aquarians are known for being a calming presence and beautiful souls.
Their love and your love is their drug. End of story.

When discussing the early aughts, it’s impossible (and shameful) to miss a chance on speaking about The O.C. The teen television drama, which ran from 2003-2007, was seminal in paving a way for teenage soap opera mega-hits like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and more. Hot teens, trust funds and minimal parental supervision make addictive television and there’s no going around it.
Ryan Atwood is the Chino transplant in Newport Beach, a brooding boy from the wrong side of the tracks. It’s cute watching Ryan experience the spoils of wealth for the first time. He’s like those YouTube videos of babies trying candy for the first time, often in awe of the life Seth has known his entire life and has come to resent. Ryan represents the baby of the zodiac, Aries the ram. On one hand they’re full of life and on the other they are major hotheads. Ryan essentially spends season one punching at least one person per episode. Get this hothead back into the pool house!
As the princess of Newport Beach, Marissa is the Taurean representative of her proverbial seaside kingdom. Taurus is ruled by Venus, which means that luxury is a huge element of who Marissa is as a person. She takes a Chanel quilted bag to school everyday and has no concept of money, if anyone needs refreshing on this aspect. She also has the darker side of Taurus, which manifests in her inability to handle high-stress situations without having a meltdown. Got a problem? Drink it away! Pressing internal struggle? Steal your best-friend’s step-mom’s painkillers and go on a bender!
Seth Cohen is a freak. But he’s also incredibly smart, kind and a much needed source of comic relief when the drama in Newport Beach reaches critical levels of crazy. He’s the epitome of the air sign Aquarius; often lost in his own world of comics and fantasy but ready to drop everything to be there for his loved ones.
Summer Roberts is Marissa’s ride-or-die girl. She knows how to get what she wants and you’re out of your mind if you think you can stop her. But beneath her intense exterior, she’s incredibly sensitive and loving. The duality of insanity and compassion means that this Newport Beach resident is none other than the water sign Scorpio. Don’t cross her.
We would be remiss if we neglected to analyze Sandy Cohen’s astrological potential. Sandy is Seth’s dad and literally the only functioning adult on this show. Everyone else is either drunk, conniving, absent, committing fraud or a combination of the four. Sandy is incredibly just (he’s a lawyer, after all) and provides a much needed balance to the chaos that often plagues the wealthy residents of Orange County. Sandy is without a doubt a Libra—he and his eyebrows strive for equality and Newport Beach is lucky to have him.
On Sunday, April 3, Amanda Bynes celebrated her 30th birthday. She rang in her birthday celebrations at none other than Six Flags. That's a typical Aries move—celebrating your special day filled with adrenaline, friends, and most likely a lot of food.
Amanda Bynes has been a comedic force since her early days in All That, and we saw her pull a complete 180 with her numerous Twitter tirades. Although some conspiracy theorists say her identity change was all a publicity stunt, maybe her lifetime of fame all came crashing down at one moment. Nonetheless, we've been with Amanda from Totally Kyle to Hairspray.
But we're so happy to hear she's doing great at FIDM! Happy Aries season to one of the most epic and dynamic Aries out there.
