Did you know that getting a brand new hairstyle is not just simply about booking an appointment with your go-to hairstylist? Turns out, consulting your horoscope prediction might just play a part in determining the outcome of your look.

“Timing is important when it comes to a hair makeover,” advises Renaye Chan, co-founder of Alchemy International Advisory which specialises in astro-numerology, tarot card reading and Feng Shui. “As planetary shifts and changes, it would be best if one can align the timing along with some guidance from the stars.”

For example, when the sun visits your personal zodiac sign, it’s generally a good time for a hair makeover as it’s a time of uplifting, explains Renaye.

Want to know more? Ahead, Renaye breaks down the “best” timings to get a major hair transformation done based on your horoscope.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

1/12

Fiery and powerful, Aries should consider a hair makeover around March to April. As they are ruled by Mars, it is best to avoid haircuts and treatments when the planet is in retrograde from October 20, 2023 to January 12, 2024, as it may trigger impulsive hair decisions. Easy-to-manage and bold designs, with a touch of red, would suit their confident spirit.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

2/12

Earthy and practical, these individuals know what they want when it comes to beauty and hairstyle. Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, Taurus craves for natural and luxurious looks. As Venus is currently in retrograde until September 3, 2023, it is advisable for both Taurus and all zodiac signs to refrain from major hair transformations, as they might risk a botched outcome.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

3/12

The curious and lively Gemini loves to experiment with their looks. The months of May and July, and September and December of all years. will be great for Geminis to try new haircuts, perms or fun colours. Do take note of the period when Mercury retrogrades (now until September 15, and December 13, 2023, to January 1, 2024), as you are likely to regret any impromptu decisions on a new hair design. Avoid styles that are difficult to maintain.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

4/12

Intuitive and caring, Cancerians typically avoid sudden drastic or extreme hairstyles as this could create emotional distress for them. Going for a new haircut or makeover during a new or full moon is likely to be a treat for them as full moon energies are strongest, helping you to attract fullness and luxuriousness. As Cancerians can be sensitive, opting for a softer look or a more "romantic" hairstyle is advisable.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

5/12

Majestic and generous, Leos are known for their meticulous attention to their appearances. Hair (just like a lion’s mane) is important to them and they will not hesitate to go all out with a dramatic hair transformation that matches their regal personality. The months of July and August are the best time to go for a haircut or hair makeover. Adding some gold-toned hair dye will enhance their luck.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

6/12

The detail-oriented and orderly Virgo prefers a neat and polished look – natural beauty and hairstyles appeal to them. The third quarter of the year (from October to December) is a good period for a hair makeover – except when Mercury is in retrograde. Steer clear of untidy hairstyles or excessive curls.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

7/12

Being both popular and harmonious individuals, Librans have a great flair for beauty and art. Any hairstyle that brings out elegance and grace will be suitable for them. Appearance and looks do matter to a Libran, and sporting a new look during a new or full moon in Pisces will be most conducive for this star sign as this period is good for growth and new beginnings. Avoid any forms of hair treatments or major changes when Venus retrogrades.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

8/12

Due to their intense and secretive nature, Scorpios are often drawn to things that are dark and mysterious. Hair colours that are dark and seductive-looking will reflect their passionate nature. The best time to do a makeover would be between October and at the end of November. However, it would be wise to avoid any hair makeovers when Scorpios are on an emotional rollercoaster.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

9/12

Sagittarians can be quite daring when considering a hair makeover. Due to their adventurous and philosophical personalities, they can either opt for a wild and messy look or a low maintenance yet put-together hairstyle. The optimal time for a hair makeover is from March to May, or whenever Venus visits the House of Taurus (from April 29 to May 23, 2024).

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

10/12

Goal-oriented and hardworking, Capricorns often prioritise working over indulging in a beauty ritual. Nonetheless, enlisting the expertise of a professional hairstylist can yield remarkable results for these career-focused individuals. The holiday season, particularly Christmas and New Year, presents a great time for achieving a positive hair transformation.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

11/12

The innovative and unconventional Aquarian is never afraid of change. The best time for a hair makeover would be during their birthday season. However, they need to consider if their ruling planet Uranus is in retrograde because this might cause a sense of insecurity, frustration (nothing pleases them) and delays to their plans. A creative hairstyle or one that incorporates hues such as midnight blue, turquoise or pinkish gold would be perfect for them.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

12/12

Empathetic and spiritual, Pisces are often seen as graceful, elegant and stylish individuals. The best time for a hair makeover lies in the final quarter of the year because it is a time of transition, getting ready from old to new. Plus, Neptune and Saturn will move forward in the last quarter (December and November 4, 2023 respectively), allowing Pisceans to decide clearly what they want and have a sense of willingness to try new looks. Although most Pisces are quite conservative, adding some glitter or shimmer to their hair will bring out the beauty in them. Long and flowy hairstyles are also flattering for Pisceans.
