Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19): This past semester may have felt like a lot. As we gear up for the home stretch, remember that it’s okay to ask for help. Though you might worry about being a burden, you can’t do everything alone, and the right people will be happy to be there for you.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): By winter, your life might be looking pretty different from what you thought it would six months ago. Though Tauruses are notoriously one of the most stubborn signs, change can be good. It’s okay if you’re heading in a different direction than you previously imagined!
Gemini (May 21-Jun 21): It can be very easy to get sucked into comparison when our society constantly measures kids by grades and college acceptances, and social media just… exists. Try not to compare yourself to others. Your life will always look different than someone else’s, and the less time you spend measuring those differences, the happier you’ll be.
Cancer (Jun 22-Jul 22): Focus on the positive! It’s easier said than done, but a glass-half-full mindset can help you move past disappointments and stressors faster. Practice pointing out all the good things that happened in a day instead of the bad.
Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22): Remember that there is no such thing as perfection, Leo. All you can do is try your best and move on! Submit that college application, turn in your assignment (more than five minutes before the deadline), and try to care less about your grades. You are good enough!
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): Whether it’s school, college applications, or life in general getting to you, this time of the year can be overwhelming. Take things one step at a time, and prioritize your to-do lists to make sure you get things done on time, without freaking out over the huge picture.
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 23): Set goals. For an idealist like Libra, it can sometimes be difficult to maintain a sense of direction. Set short-term and long-term goals to help yourself feel grounded and productive. Also, forgive yourself if you end up not quite reaching a goal. Libras have a tendency to reach for the moon, so even if you fall short, you’ll land among the stars.
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 21): When Scorpios get stressed, they often withdraw into themselves under the guise of being more productive or “not having time” to spend with friends. Remember that spending time in relationships that make you happy can actually benefit your mental health. Challenge yourself to say “yes” to one plan this week!
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re one of the most positive signs out there, but it can be exhausting when people don’t match your vibe. Give your energy to the people and things that give energy back to you. You ultimately get to decide what – and who – is worth your time and pizzazz.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19): You can’t drive a car on an empty tank, Capricorn. And while you might be the racecar of the zodiac signs, you aren’t immune to needing rest. Take time to prioritize your mental health and refill your gas tank (in whatever ways work for you). It’s necessary to prevent burnout.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18): You have a tendency to prioritize other people’s needs above your own. But you can still be a kind and compassionate person while taking care of your needs. When your energy is low, you don’t have to give 100% to everyone else. Take care of yourself first.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20): Get organized and reset. If your space is cluttered, it’s likely your head will feel cluttered too! Go through your closet, clean out your backpack before finals week, or even try journaling or using a planner in the new year!
