Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):
Burnout is real babe. It is time to choose between a social life and a productive life, but maybe you could try to find a balance for once. This month, however, that balance may not feel possible. We know that you are tempted to cancel everything and just take time for yourself, so do it. Just slow yourself down. Contrary to your popular belief, you don’t have to do everything (and we really wish you wouldn’t). On Sept. 25, the new moon in Libra will create new opportunities for connections, so don’t screw it up this time.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20):
It may be time to throw in the towel, babe. Try and face the challenges that life is giving you head on. This month you may finally have time to feel safe and secure with an abundance of time to relax (and we know you just love that). You have been doing constant work these past few weeks, which is super out of character for you babe, but we are proud of you nonetheless. Go get that well deserved rest, but don’t overdo it.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
You really like to constantly multi-task, don’t you? You are feeling confident, you are feeling driven, you are feeling productive – you are overdoing it. You have to stop digging yourself into a hole of excessive work. Take a break, love. You don’t have to do everything. If you don’t take a step back, people are going to make you do it. We all know that if there is anything you like less than slowing down, it’s being told what to do. Please, do us a favor, and calm down for once.
Cancer (Jun. 22-Jul. 22)
You have so many ideas to share; Keep them to yourself. You’ve got a lot going on, so calm down and take a step back. Breathe, babe, or you’ll overwork yourself. Maybe it is time to indulge in self-care, but that doesn’t mean taking so much time to wallow in your self-pity. Do some self-reflection and evaluation. Break through the barriers that you’ve set up around yourself and take a hard look. You could end your spiraling whenever you want.
Leo (Jul. 23-Aug. 22)
Maybe it is time to do some collaboration and take the back seat. You don’t have to take the lead on everything, and in fact, we insist that you don’t. Collaboration may help you stay on track and be more productive than usual. You don’t have to always be in charge. This month is the best time for exploration and adventure in your personal life. Just try not to come off as too assertive, babe. It’s not a good look on you anymore.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Hopefully you will finally make use of all those good ideas you’ve been brewing in your head. Don’t worry, you’ve got this. Take off after your dreams, but don’t bite off more than you chew. Slow down and really look at the consequences that can occur from your actions. You do know there are always consequences, right? Remember to take in the large goals as well. Not everything has to be a short-term goal. Shoot for the stars, or you’ll never know if you can do it.
Libra (Sept 23-Oct. 23)
It is time to get your house in order, babe. Take a look at that long to do list that you have and get to it. You may feel scattered this month, but is that really much different than usual? Maybe it would be a good to be with yourself and really think for a minute. Keep that disorganization away. Don’t take on too much because you probably won’t be able to keep up. No more drama, please. Leave it in August and you can finally clean up your act.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Your social butterfly streak continues this month, babe, so live it up with your friends and don’t forget to forge some new connections. It’s a great time to make a productive new partnership, and things might even start to heat up between now and March. This month will have multiple retrogrades, so buckle up. You’re going to be ready for a break, so don’t be afraid to take one. You’ve definitely earned it. Step back as much as you want and everything will fall into place before Scorpio season. We’re almost there, babe. We believe in you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Take charge and lead the people. Use that attention seeking energy for good this time. Listen to other people, and it may do some good for you to not talk all the time. You don’t need to be a know-it-all, love. Remember that you are not the end all be all, and the Earth revolves around the Sun, not you. However, at the end of this month, the stars will align for your projects to finally come together. Slow down and hold off on any finalization. You can handle that, right?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You love organization, so maybe it is time to start organizing in your own life. You may be feeling more ambitious than usual, so embrace this rare feeling. Though, it would do you some good to avoid micromanagement. Small issues won’t make or break you unless you let them. It is time to get your life back in order. Take some time for your interests as well, babe. You can’t work all the time, no matter how much you think you should. Burnout is in the air, and it would do you good to avoid it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’ve been very scattered, but this month will be a good time to get it together. The darkness is starting to clear, so congratulations, you can think rationally for once. However, things will not all be easy. It is time to explore new opportunities and friendships. Stay patient in your communication. Not everyone thinks without their brain like you do. Stay close with your support system; you may need it. Remember to communicate, but also keep in mind that not every experience you have ever had is niche.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar 20)
Are you feeling emotional? We’re so surprised. It is good to be emotional, but remember to only share it with those closest to you. Not everything has to be public information, so take down that Snapchat story right now. Look at the whole picture of where you want your life to go. Now is a good time to cut off the dead-weight and toxic relationships – platonic and romantic. Communication may be rocky this month, so keep that in mind while you are choosing what alliances to keep. Don’t rush these decisions, but you should make them at some point in the next hundred years.
