Your weekly life predictions made by Ang the Great
Aries – Mar 21 to Apr 19
You are being tested this week, but try not to give in to your tendency to run away. Remember that this challenge will ultimately help you grow and make you stronger. Don’t be afraid to get help; there are resources and support systems all around you.
Taurus – Apr 20 to May 20
A relationship you thought had a strong foundation will crumble before your eyes this week, but this will oddly come as a relief to you, since you have been holding on to that not-quite-right relationship for far too long now.
Gemini – May 20 to Jun 20
You are a dreamer, and often those dreams lead you astray and cause you to neglect the situation you are currently in. It is okay to dream, to plan, and to envision a bright future, but don’t forget to show gratitude in whatever situation you are in right now.
Cancer – Jun 21 to Jul 22
Let out a good cry this week, sweet Cancer. You need it. You have been holding on to some strong emotions for a long time, and sometimes it feels good to just let it out. Give yourself a few moments, and let out that big, ugly cry that has been pent up inside you.
Leo – Jul 23 to Aug 22
Get out of your rut and do something kind for someone this week. Go out of your way to help someone by giving your friend who relies on public transport a ride somewhere, showing appreciation for the little things by thanking the barista at the Fairgrounds who made your drink, or just smiling at the classmates you recognize on your walk to class.
Virgo – Aug 23 to Sept 22
You will find yourself in a heated argument with your partner this week. Try your best to see their side of the story. When you listen to their side, don’t listen to respond — instead, listen to understand. Try to see where they are coming from.
Libra – Sep 23 to Oct 22
Fill your cup this week, as it is impossible to love others without first loving yourself. Take occasional breaks from writing your final papers to focus on yourself: do some yoga, meditate, or just take a long, hot shower. Do something to put yourself first.
Scorpio – Oct 23 to Nov 21
You tend to lean to one extreme or the next, but it’s important to find balance in your life, as not every situation is black or white. Look for level ground to stand on this week, and you will soon feel the tension in your shoulders relax and your mind ease.
Sagittarius – Nov 22 to Dec 21
Please get some sleep. Treat yourself to a luxurious, fuzzy blanket you can wrap yourself in like a burrito and get a full night’s sleep. Your assignments will be better, your friends you’ve been snapping at all week will thank you, and your mind will finally feel clear.
Capricorn – Dec 22 to Jan 19
You strive to be unique in all that you do: you are strong, fiercely independent, and no one can outshine you. This trait is what draws other people to you, but make sure to give space for other people to shine their light this week.
Aquarius – Jan 20 to Feb 18
This is the week your dreams will get crazy. You will dream of four-headed monsters, talking grilled-cheese sandwiches, or swimming in a pond of weightless, neo-coloured pebbles. Just go with the flow, and try to write these dreams down once you wake up for a good laugh later.
Pisces – Feb 19 to Mar 20
You have always been somewhat of an awkward turtle, with those around you never fully understanding your jokes, your choices of clothing, or just your general mannerisms. But you will find someone this week who will complete you, and get you on a deeper level than you thought possible.
