Aries – Mar 21 to Apr 19
You, my little fireball, are coming back to school from summer as fiery as ever. Now it’s time to take that energy and apply it to the first week back. You’ll find yourself feeling inspired, so channel that by reading the syllabus, doing the homework earlier than later, and taking advantage of your headstrong spirit by starting the semester off right.
Taurus – Apr 20 to May 20
Coming back to school, your sensual spirit is longing for connection — friendship, romance, or otherwise. Returning to in-person instruction will give you all the opportunity you need to get back into things socially, so seize the day. Look for events happening on campus, chat with your classmates, and seek hangouts with your friends again. Just remember to keep it COVID-19 safe.
Gemini – May 21 to Jun 20
You’ve proven yourself adaptable to new situations, and going back to in-person classes is no exception. Your confidence in being able to get back into things is well-earned, but be wary of overwhelming yourself right off the bat — whether it be overzealously diving into your studies, signing up for too many clubs or responsibilities, or picking up extra shifts at your job. Remember to pace yourself and moderate how you’re doing before you add more to your plate.
Cancer – Jun 21 to Jul 22
What others love about you is your intuitive nature and abundance of emotions, but remember that it’s important to moderate them as well. While you’re excited for the first week back, you also need to make sure you’re taking care of yourself so you can set up your semester for success. Don’t forget to nurture your creative side, talk to a friend during your lows, and practice self-care when it’s calling your name.
Leo – Jul 23 to Aug 22
You’re bold and bright, my friend, but it’s alright to admit that you have anxieties about the first week of the semester. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. But at the same time, recognize when you’re projecting your past fear onto the present rather than accepting reality. It’s a new semester, and it’s time to release fears and anxieties holding you back.
Virgo – Aug 23 to Sept 22
You, O meticulous and diligent Virgo, work hard and know when it’s time to celebrate a job well done. Whether you’re returning to school after successfully getting through a summer semester of classes or working a job to support yourself, you’re basking in the glow of an accomplishment this week. It’s time to reflect on your journey and tune into how you can apply the lessons you’ve learned to the semester ahead.
Libra – Sep 23 to Oct 22
You may be nervous heading into the semester, but that’s understandable. Just remember that as a romantic idealist, you’ve gained more inner wisdom than you think. The problems you might encounter this week won’t be solved by overanalyzing them with the rational mind. Instead, take a step back and embrace your intuition, emotions, and empathy when dealing with qualms.
Scorpio – Oct 23 to Nov 21
You have a depth of emotion that many don’t realize, and that will be your source of power this week. That sense of hope you’re feeling about the new semester? It’s not unfounded. Allow yourself to have faith that you can accomplish your goals, and manifest the calm energy that comes with knowing your plans will come to fruition.
Sagittarius – Nov 22 to Dec 21
You’ve been hard at work this summer, and you’re settling into the closure that comes with another season gone. Take a moment to look back on and appreciate all that you’ve learned, accomplished, and experienced over the summer, then apply those lessons (along with your usual dose of optimism) to the fall semester.
Capricorn – Dec 22 to Jan 19
You know you’re ambitious, and now’s the time to really let that shine. With the new semester comes new opportunities and potential for a new mindset, so this is your chance to align your everyday actions with your goals and create the future you’re imagining. Just remember to stay committed to what’s at hand and not be swayed by distractions.
Aquarius – Jan 20 to Feb 18
Embrace your independence this week as you begin your studies anew in the fall semester. You have a clear vision for what you want out of this semester, so don’t be afraid to exert yourself, put your foot down, and make decisions to make things happen. Don’t worry about what others might think; you have a natural friendliness and likeability to you that will round out this streak of self-determination.
Pisces – Feb 19 to Mar 20
We all know you’re imaginative, so why not make those plans in your head a reality this semester? You have the potential to set yourself up for greatness. You just need to establish a clear vision for what you want to achieve, then take inspired action. You’re normally a giver, but now’s the time to recruit some help. You’ll find that others will be led to help you in your cause this week if you ask.
