Taurus

April 20 - May 20

When you're in a mood and seeing red, you take it out on others, and that creates more problems. As a result, your besties experience emotional whiplash in the dynamic of your relationship because it‘s mean and is confusing when they are trying to be present for you. We often hurt the ones we love the most because we know that they’ll unconditionally support us. However, it's not the best way to handle problems. Rather than fighting, ask your BFF for help in resolving the situation and let them be a source of support instead of arguing.

May 21 - June 20

You're finding that being alone in your thoughts is helping you resolve situations and relationships that have been bothering you for some time. You are figuring out who you can trust and rely on during this time of contemplation. Following what your heart desires and who you want to surround yourself with will prove to be beneficial in the upcoming weeks — especially when your birthday season arrives. Since you're always longing for companionship and loyalty amongst your peers, you will know who you can lean on in moments of need and share all of your exciting times with in the future.

June 21 - July 22

A friend is stirring up drama in your life by repeating things that you said in confidence about others. It's essential to realize that this person wants to create drama because they're jealous of your relationships and fabulousness. When they start gossiping, admit the truth and shake off their nonsense. You can discuss this with the person causing the issues and tell them their behavior has hurt you. If you forgive, try to not to forget their actions because you shouldn't let them off the hook easily. Holding them accountable is critical to ensure that they don't do this again.

July 23 - August 22

Collaborating with a classmate could go south this week if you aren't careful. Ensure you recognize their talents and not criticize their ideas negatively to keep the peace. It is essential for you to listen to their ideas and to find a way in which you can incorporate them into the project. If you feel they aren't giving you the proper credit, you should speak up to make yourself heard. Do not act out or take the lead on the project. Try to compromise and find a middle ground to make working together a cohesive venture.

August 23 - September 22

Being someone who likes order and consistency, you may find that this week's schedule throws you off balance. Your classes may begin later, and you may find that extracurriculars are lasting longer. This means you don't have enough time to do your homework and rest. Remember that you can opt out of post-school events early if they don't start on your schedule, and organize your time. It's ok to set boundaries, and to remind people that your time is valuable.

September 23 - October 22

You're not necessarily super competitive, but this week, you're being put to the test. You want to achieve amazingness and won't let anything go your way; to be honest, you might even do anything to win. However, you’ll be emotionally conflicted after you start plotting in your head because you're super honest and have incredibly high morals. Before embarking on being shady, think about the repercussions of your moves — not just how it will affect others but how it will affect your relationship with yourself. Be the good duckling that you are.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

You're feeling a lot of pressure from others to find your purpose. The truth is that you don't have to right now. You're still figuring things out for yourself and finding your path. Even though people are asking all of the hard hitting questions about who and what you want, you don't have to feel as though you're committed to any endeavor or job. It's only talk. Don't take what they say seriously because everyone (no matter what stage or age they are) is always transforming and changing. That's life.

December 22 - January 19

Your crush is playing games with your heart. One day they're hot, the next they're cold. All the more reason for you to take the initiative and confront them over their behavior. You are too mature and kind to embark on a ‘ship with someone who isn't going to treat you the way you deserve to be cared for. Letting them know that they're being inconsistent gives your boo the chance to change their behavior. This also gives them the incentive to modify their ways. Playing cat and mouse doesn't work for you. They’ll be more responsible in handling your feelings.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

There is a rocky road ahead of you; however, you can find moments of calm if you implement self-care and actualization into your being rather than focusing on others. Take this week as a chance to give yourself energy; if you don't, then you might find yourself caught up in situations that are unruly and bothersome because there are many triangular situations and power struggles at play. Instead of using this vibe in your social sphere, bring it all into your essence because there can be a lot of healing and growth, which will impact your life in excellent ways.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Being the nurturing and sweet friend that you are, you tend to take on other people's problems as your own. As a result, it can make you feel like you're going through the motions firsthand. It's essential to create boundaries with your crew this week because your sentiments will already be high. You shouldn't let their problems interfere with your feelings because it can intensify what you're dealing with, resulting in personal frustrations. You have to make sure you're #1. Put all of the love and affection that you give to others on the back burner while navigating your feels.

March 21 - April 19

If you've been feeling stuck, then you don't have to worry for much longer. You’re learning that there is more fluidity in matters that is happening on the sidelines and beginning to develop. This week is giving you the opportunity to manifest your desires and to put your visions to use. However, there are still missing pieces to these projects, and it will require further patience to get them entirely off the ground. Don’t stress over this! Remember, everything takes time and you can work on other parts that need focus instead of fixating on what you're waiting on.
