Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):
Having trouble forming connections? We get it (or we would if we burned as many bridges as you). However, there is good news for you, as this month you will be refreshed with the ability to form meaningful relationships. If you don’t come off too demanding and aggressive, things might just work out. Don’t force it, and please try not to run back to the relationships you cut off. We can’t keep watching that endless loop.
Taurus (Apr. 19-May 20):
Relax. You have to relax this month. You may have noticed that you’ve bit off more than you can chew. Start with the stuff you understand, like calming down and not doing so much. Take the break that you know your body and mind are craving. Give into that so we can stop watching you freak out every other day. You are striving for perfection; it is okay to settle for mediocre. That is really the best you can do right now.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
Take a deep breath and remember that you can’t do everything. You may have to choose between your academics/career and a social life, so you better make the right choice. Your communication this month will be splendid, but that doesn’t stop the fact that you are far too busy for any form of communication. Watch out for that. Taking a break may save us all from your inevitable wrath.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Enough with the instability. We can’t keep watching the crocodile tears. The future is yours for the taking, so you should make a plan and stick to it for once. You have one chance to make things right for yourself going forward and this month is the best time to do it. Find your goals and actually take steps toward them, don’t push them away just because it is “too hard.” Life is hard, babe. You can’t stay two-years-old forever.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
You’ve never shied away from the spotlight, but now is a good time to actually do something meaningful with that attention for once. Ditch the tendencies to reach for mindless recognition and try to work towards your goals. You have the confidence, but do you have the courage to take the risks? Being productive socially is easy for you, now it is time to become productive in the more tangible aspects of life.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
You’ve been in a slump lately, and it is not a good look. Make use of the new motivation this season in order to build your future. It is easy for you to criticize others for not reaching their full potential, but maybe it is time to take a hard look at yourself. You can’t keep being hypocritical. Build your own success instead of piggybacking off of others. Get off of your social media accounts and focus on your work.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
Happy Libra season. Love and communication are in the air for you. We can’t wait to see which of the 10 Tinder dates you went on will be “the one” this week. You love romance, so it’s time to assert your needs – to yourself. What do you want? Do you even know? We are not sure you do. As you are manifesting relationships, perhaps you should manifest some stability as well. You won’t find yourself if you only look at other people.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Be prepared for a lot of relationship changes this month, babe. Just remember, sometimes if you love something you have to let it go for both of your sakes. We know you’ll get through it just fine, especially with your season starting later this month. While last month was fairly stressful, this month gives you many reasons to celebrate. Surround yourself with your ride-or-dies and give in to your cravings. It’s time to indulge and be satisfied. Treat yourself and be rewarded.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
You can’t control everything (and we are so glad you don’t), so stop trying to. When people say that they want to end connections with you, let it happen. Perhaps it will be a blessing in disguise. You have the ability to get through it if you can let go for once. These connections may have been on the rocks for a while now; you can’t control people. Let them go. You weren’t even sure about them to begin with, so why do you keep holding onto people who don’t want you?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
We get it, you like to be in charge all the time. Maybe it is time to let someone else take the reins. We promise that it won’t kill you to listen to someone else’s idea. Your goals are almost all coming to fruition, so let someone else share the success. You had help you know, so they deserve it as much as you do. Accept your reward and then move on. We can’t “worship the ground you walk on” all of the time. We have lives too, even if you can’t comprehend that.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Use your annoying uniqueness to your advantage this month. If you have an idea, share it. Continue to share it until someone actually listens to you (it’ll be hard to find someone). You’ve been experiencing a lot of roadblocks, but the communication line is clear. All of social media is ready for you to share your half-baked thoughts. Use that to your advantage and annoy everyone (just not us).
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20):
Struggling to find order in your life because of all the emotions circling you right now? This month will be the perfect time for you to take control. Stop letting everyone walk all over you because you are stressed out and voice your opinions. It’ll take a lot of effort, but maybe it is time to let some toxic people go. It’ll be emotionally draining, but that’s not anything you aren’t used to already. Grow a backbone and maybe you won’t be so stressed out by others.
