Your monthly horoscopes made by Yours Truly.
We welcome February with the last quarter moon in Scorpio on the 2nd, asking us to clean up and clear out. Perhaps start by trashing all those syllabus printouts crumpled at the bottom of your bag. We have strong Aquarian energy until Feb. 18 when the sun moves into Pisces. The first half of the month is primed for time with friends, so step out of your social comfort zone and try something new. In the latter half of February prioritize some necessary self-care, plan ahead for those looming assignments, and get the small things done.
Aries – Mar. 21 to Apr. 19
Aries, remember that stepping out of your comfort zone doesn’t have to be high intensity. Attempt reading a book outside of your usual genre or make time to call an old friend. In the second half of the month, complete that task you’ve been avoiding, it’ll give you space to think about other things.
Taurus – Apr. 20 to May 20
Taurus, don’t let your recent tuition payment and money matters weigh too heavily on you. And if you’re already set in your semester routine, be open to readjustments if it means some needed social time. Seek out a new self-care practice this month, perchance? Some breathwork might help loosen you up.
Gemini – May 21 to Jun. 20
Gemini, take stock of all the commitments you’ve made so far this semester. While you are capable, ask yourself if your endeavors are sustainable. February invites you to tune into your intuition and listen to yourself amidst all the busyness. Remember that any self-care practice is meant to be relaxing, so do your best not to overcomplicate it.
Cancer – Jun. 21 to Jul. 22
You may be feeling antsy for the first half of the month, Cancer. Take solace in the fact that you’ll ease into February’s watery energy and snap up some wholesome moments. While you wrap yourself up at home with a nice meal (as you do!), remember that some things are better when you have someone to share them with.
Leo – Jul. 23 to Aug. 22
Leo, how can you use your spirit for service this month? Some time volunteering in the community before the 18th will allow you to use your gifts and contribute to a greater good. As February progresses, be the one to break the barrier. Attempt to form a study group or get ahead on that final group project. Your efforts rarely go unnoticed.
Virgo – Aug. 23 to Sept. 22
Put down your calendar, Virgo, unless you’ve scheduled some fun. Being well prepared is just as important as accepting the messier parts of yourself. Be audacious this month. Raise your hand in class even if you think your answer might be wrong. Speak with conviction, sit with discomfort, and don’t attach your worth to it. Then, reward yourself with a treat.
Libra – Sep. 23 to Oct. 22
Libra, take stock of your commitments and ensure you’re allocating your time appropriately, as this will allow you to be more efficient. In the first half of this month, seek out something to make you feel good, like a bit of shopping at a local thrift store with a friend. As the month progresses, make time to conjure up plans for your future.
Scorpio – Oct. 23 to Nov. 21
Scorpio, you’re right at home in the energies of February, offering a window to use your powers for good. Check out opportunities to get involved on campus; perhaps there’s a wellness space that could benefit from your sensitive touch. Surrounding yourself with others who are working towards a common goal will bode well for you — now, and in the future.
Sagittarius – Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
Sagittarius, do you have at least one class this semester that you’re genuinely passionate about? If not, look for an outlet to massage your creative and intellectual interests, like a university club or association. In the latter halxf of the month, curl up with the latest viral movie or television show that’ll give you something to debate about.
Capricorn – Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
Let loose for the first half of the month, Capricorn. Rally your friends on a Saturday night before the semester gets even more demanding. After Feb. 18, realign with your goals for the semester. You tend to get quite lofty, so if there’s something you want to achieve, make the goal real by writing it down or constructing a vision board. Just remember to put it somewhere you can see it.
Aquarius – Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
Aquarius, do not neglect the power of how you show up in the world. Dressing in a way that is expressive and feels good could be the key to unlocking more success in all areas of your life. If your birthday is approaching in the first half of February, splurge on a birthday outfit, even if that means buying a new pair of PJs.
Pisces – Feb. 19 to Mar. 20
Pisces, welcome to your season! How you set yourself up this month can set a tone for the rest of the semester — and the rest of the year. Be mindful of how you show up and remember to slow down. Honouring yourself by listening to that inner voice is the best way to move through a month primed for the celebration of you.
