It’s the beginning of the month, and you know what that means: shoe horoscope time! Check out what the stars have in store for you and your shoes for the month of August. Are a new pair of ballet flats in your future? Or perhaps you’d be better off with some sky-high sling-backs or ankle booties for the fall. I changed my shopping plans after looking at my horoscope, and maybe you’ll do the same.
Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)
If you stay focused on booking those international travel plans, you might end up finding a low-priced deal to somewhere exciting. Look for cruises and packages that suit your fancy, and then get the corresponding footwear you’ll need for sailing the high seas or trekking the desert.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
You could be getting a small windfall if you’re lucky, and that means you’ll find your income substantially larger this month. Use a small portion of the funds to build up your autumn shoe wardrobe up, but don’t get too crazy. Remember that you’ve also got to make credit card payments this month in addition to paying for that big summer holiday you just took.
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
As the month progresses, Libra, you’ll find yourself concentrating on work partnerships. While you might have felt things getting rocky for you, now’s the time to put on a brave face and allow yourself to be more positive. Try to keep the good energy flowing this month as you move through August. Perhaps a group shopping escapade is in order to lift your spirits?
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are very precise, Scorpio, and that means you’ll get the attention you deserve. If your friends are all looking for deals, try to help them by using your methodical nature to scope out great shoe sales and promotions. Wear a pair of comfortable shoes while working, Scorpio, because you’ll be getting a lot of assignments. Prepare to be very busy!
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your social life is really going to pick up, Sagittarius, and that means you’ll need to put on your dancing shoes. Don’t be afraid to kick up your heels when you feel the urge, because the stars are right behind you. Celebrate with some shoe buys that will leave you voted best dressed in any situation.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Don’t make any hasty decisions until after August 23, Capricorn. If you go shopping, you should start doing cost comparisons now, but don’t commit to a major load of great shoes until Mercury emerges from retrograde. You’ll find that if you commit prior to the 23rd, you’ll regret some of your purchases.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It might be time for you to take the reigns at the workplace and really go for that promotion you’ve had your eye on. If you find that business talks start to falter, don’t get mad. Get going! Checkout any alternative income possibilities or contact friends for job leads. And don’t forget to make sure that you’ve got plenty of interview-appropriate shoes to choose from.
Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)
Pisces, this is a good month to project wealth, because financial luck will definitely be on your side. You’ll have a lot of important meetings coming up where you’ll get to talk money, and you’ll be surprised at what comes about for you. Don’t be intimidated by negotiating, just try to walk the walk. Shop for appropriate “meeting shoes” if necessary.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’ll have the opportunity to highlight your leadership skills, Aries, so why not look the part? It’s high time you treated yourself to a new pair of shoes, and considering your luck, you’ll find a fantastic marked-down pair of your favorite label for less than you imagined.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
This month, you’ll find that you’re living a more private life than usual, and that’s good. Preparing for the explosion of luck that’s coming your way in two months, Taurus, you’ll be planning a new future without the distractions of your current life. Perhaps a wardrobe clean-out is in store.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You might make some new friends, Gemini—creative ones who are younger than you. This is perfect for inspiration, so allow the new people in your life to make things more exciting. Listen to their advice on trends and apply it to your shopping experience this month. If you do so, you’ll be in for a stylish fall season.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, this is a time to buckle down on your professional plans. If you try to cut down on the socializing, you’ll see major professional results that will color your life for a long time to come. Because you’ll be ladder climbing, you’ll need to be on the lookout for sale shoes with style. Let your intuition guide you.

We’ve decided to switch things up a bit this month. Instead of giving you a July-themed horoscope, we’re kicking things up a notch by offering a plan that you can make use of throughout the entire year. This general guide not only touches on your major defining characteristics, but also gives you shoe, shopping, and life advice that will equip you with a peaceful mind and effortless wardrobe for months to come.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Moody, soft, mellow, and protective, it’s best to keep your life as steady-going as possible. Many in the Cancer family are nostalgic and fragile, so vintage-inspired footwear is certainly an option. Since you are sensual and loving, silks and romantic trims (like lace) really complete your look.
Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)
When you’re at work, you can organize the heck out of your professional surroundings. When you’re dedicated to something, you do it, and you have a formidable creative streak. So if you want to feel secure about your footwear choices, pick something that can be worn anywhere, but that has a stylish touch to it—try a nice buckled pair of boots or a colored-sole loafer.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Many Virgos fall into the trap of being overly analytic, and this can harm them at work and in their friendships. To blow off some steam, take a shopping break and make a list of must-buy shoes, from the basics to your party-girl shoes. Then, when it’s time to head back out to your favorite shoe boutique, you’ll feel more organize and in control of your shoe-shopping destiny.
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
Some might poke fun at you for your leisurely ways, but what people don’t know is how you can commit to something so solidly. You should get at-home sandals and slippers to indulge the comfort seeker in you, and then buy flexible-sole shoes for comfort on the job.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You keep your cards close to your chest, which is both good and bad. You can keep secrets, but that also means that you may bottle things up when you really shouldn’t. Consider taking a friend out for a day of shopping, having a chat, and letting go of some of the issues that you can’t get out of your head.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Intelligent and naughty, a Sagittarius cannot be tamed. Since you like your freedom, as well as wide-open spaces, you should look for outdoors-related footwear for your next vacation. Whether you’re strolling on the beach or camping, you’ll definitely benefit from a quiet vacation away from it all.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You can be pretty serious and you’re not prone to flights of fancy. While many people find Capricorns overly professional and ladder-climbing, you are faithful and serious. Consider getting a pair of party shoes and showing your other side to detractors. High heels and platform sandals await.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have trouble embracing change when it comes to your own life. It’s time to shake that up a bit with a scan through your shoe closet for all those boots and sneakers that you were too stubborn to toss out. Get rid of them quickly and revamp your shoe closet with a variety of looks that range from funky and fabulous to casual and chic.
Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)
You never want to be a part of the rat race, although you sometimes get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. To bring out the delicate, sweet side of you again, all you need to do is embrace your inner dreamer. Shop for shoes in soft blue and green shades that will always keep you calm.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You are competitive, good at sports, and highly successful, and you can focus on your professional goals easily. Cutting down on stress in your life is key, which is why we recommend shoes that are lightweight and flexible.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You want security, and you won’t take risks that jeopardize your economic state. You are a careful planner and some people find this trait somewhat frustrating. Instead of trying to prove yourself in words, let your actions speak for you. As a lover of luxury, high-quality shoe labels are your calling.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You are restless, energetic, and resourceful, with a knack for multitasking. Never content to simply sit around, you need active clothes and shoes to suit your lifestyle. Flats and slip-ons provide the comfort you crave at home, while low heels are the order of the day when you’re on the job.

It’s the beginning of the month, and you know what that means: shoe horoscope time! Take a quick look at what the stars have planned for you before you hit the shoe boutiques this month. I changed my shopping plans after looking at my horoscope, and maybe you’ll do the same.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The universe is conspiring in your favor this month, Aries. You’re going to get a promotion or have some other form of good luck at work, and that means your shoes should be as professional as possible. Get a shoe shine and get hopping on any needed shoe repairs, and you’ll be ready for whatever fantastic opportunities will be coming your way. If you choose to purchase a new pair of corporate power shoes, look for a quality pair that will last.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are going to make major decisions that will define the next year of your life, Taurus. And when it comes to making serious decisions, you should be prepared for change! As far as your shoe wardrobe is concerned, the wisest course of action means stocking up on shoes with all-season appeal. Be smart while shopping!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
This month will be super-social for you, Gemini, so you’ll need to find the right shoes for going out. Flat dress sandals are perfect for garden parties, while a low-heeled pair of leather sandals will work perfectly for at-home entertaining.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Good financial times are on the way, Cancer, which will be great, considering the slight fiscal blow you took last month. To celebrate your luck, make a list of all of your shoe needs for this season and shop, shop, shop!
Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)
There’s a good chance that you’ll hear about a new job opportunity, and that means you’ll need to invest in your look. Consider buying a pair of “investment shoes,” that are constructed of good upper materials and quality, work-appropriate touches.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Long-distance travel is very much in your future, so look for a comfortable pair of shoes to wear on the plane. Flats, shoes with barefoot technology, and sandals are all good travel choices, and don’t forget to bring a good pair of walking shoes with you for all of your sightseeing adventures. Avoid anything that doesn’t have plenty of room in the toe, as well as shoes that have binding over-the-foot straps.
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
You’ll be making major decisions around the middle of the month, but after the choice has been made you’ll need to celebrate! If you find a great shoe sale, you’ll know what to do!
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This month is all about entertainment and energy! Stay light on your feet with shoes that feature a cushioned sole for those action-packed days up ahead. Look for serious comfort-based labels like Aerosoles.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You’ll find yourself making all kinds of great connections this month, from dating to business opportunities. Invest in shoes that work well with your best date clothes (sexy pumps for a late night out or summery wedges that whisper “sexy and sophisticated.”) If you’re going to be focusing on a business deal, make sure that your shoes look professional during your next meeting.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A fun family function is in the stars for you later this month. To show what a loving daughter/sister/cousin/niece you are, why not show up to the party with a shoe shopping gift certificate for the guest of honor? Who would say no to that?!
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
If no one’s throwing a party this month, then take the reins and bring the party to your house! Instead of having to rummage through your closet to see what shoes you have to match your new party dress, pick up a pair that you can wear to a gathering, large or small. Dress to impress!
Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)
Warm weather means pedicure time, and that means that it’s cute-strappy-sandal-and-peep-toe-pumps time. A trip to a luxurious nailcare spa is definitely in your future this month and you’ll need a fabulous pair of shoes to show off those toes. Options to try: the Snakeeffect Tbar peep toe platform from Giuseppe Zanotti or the Amp ankle bootie from Hypnotic.

Finding the right shoes is tough. Why not make it easier with these shoe horoscopes for February and March?
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Aries, you’ve got to rally this month in order to get the prize. Pick up a pair of shoes that gives you wings and help you chase your career goal, since it’s closer than ever. Friends are going to play a big part in your life, so you can invite a pal to go shoe shopping with you this month, too.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
This month is going to be huge for your career, but when you’re picking up a pair of shoes, don’t just go for 100% career shoes. Taurus shoppers will switch their focus about halfway through to include friends in business connections, so a pair of work-to-dinner shoes will be the best investment.

Can you believe it’s already July? The year is passing so quickly, but we’re always trying to stay in tune with the stars—especially since there have been eclipses, new moons, and a lot of retrograde situations in play lately. Have a look at your horoscope and see what’s in store for you this fine month of summer.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) Your home and family will fall under the radar with the solar eclipse, dear Aries, so if you’re going to be shopping, make it a team effort! Invite friends and family one day on a shopping spree online, utilizing chat if you’re far from each other, and get pieces that are perfect for hanging out.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) You could be getting into advertising and promotions at work, Taurus, so make sure that your summer work wardrobe is in tip-top shape. Shine those shoes and get damaged ones to the cobbler, because you could be meeting with the higher-ups soon enough. Pull out a perfect work outfit while you’re rummaging in that closet!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) You have been having a lot of trouble with your financial situation, but things have definitely started to even up, Gemini. If you are afraid of spending on extras, that’s okay, too—you can always just work out your budget so you can buy shoes next month. Things will be shaping up, although you have probably made some big changes lately.

Are you dolling up for a date? Whenever you get ready for an event like a double date, an anniversary meal, or a special occasion, you always try to find heels that are occasion-appropriate… and for dates, that usually means sling-backs and stilettos. Have you ever wondered what sexy heels best complement your zodiac sign?
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Creative and passionate people like the Aries sign need to have shoes that suit their impatient nature. Wear shoes that are easy-going enough to work with your spontaneous urges to dress up, go out, and then do something crazy! You like “underdog” designers as well, so choose a smaller label.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might be all about… yourself sometimes, but you can show your deeply loving side at the drop of a hat. To appease your interest in the finer things in life, look for date heels constructed from satin, preferably with an all-leather lining and sole.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You are especially flexible when it comes to dating, so let your shoes be that way as well. Hunt down shoes that have an extremely flexible midsole for the most comfort possible, and don’t stop there! Get ones with a silky interior as well. Read more »
