Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Your squad might find you to be a tad pushy this week. TBH, you're not being extra. They're not used to you making demands and inserting your opinions about every plan that comes up. It's ok to state your opinion as long as you're not offending anyone. Also, you don't have to partake in the group activity if you aren't feeling it. Rather than starting an argument, try to find a middle ground with your friends. Then you can all be happy end enjoy a fun night out with your crew with no tricks — just treats.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

We all have secrets that we keep deep within our hearts — even someone as honest and direct as you has a few skeletons in their closet. Being that only a few of your besties know the information, you don’t have to stress about it coming out. But, that won’t stop you from acting paranoid about the matter. Know that your friends would never betray you or throw you under the bus before you accuse them of things they didn’t do. If you want to question their behavior, explain your feelings concisely before proceeding with the narrative in your head.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

You are at the top of your game and ready to reap the rewards for hard work. However, you're not feeling up to celebrating your success on social media. You'd rather share the moment with close friends and family. The reason is that you don't want the evil eye from strangers or acquaintances. Therefore, you're keeping the vibe low key. Maybe you'll let the world know about your wins a few weeks from now when you share a humble brag post. Until then, savor the moment by doing something amazing for yourself. Enjoy your moment, Capricorn!

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Your humanitarian spirit will shine this week, and you’re doing what you do best — using your voice to help others. Don't forget to practice some self-care this week, as you have to have a full plate to help feed others. You're a force, Aquarius, and you'll capture your friends' attention when you speak up.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Gossip is rarely kind, and engaging in it can make you a guilty party — even if you're just listening to the tea. Getting the dish on someone you care about will confuse your feelings about them at first. After thinking over what you heard, it's pretty clear that it's a salacious rumor out to hurt your buddy. Having the guts to tell them about the situation will be hard because you're a sensitive being who doesn't want to hurt others and be messy. Gently tell them the scoop. Be delicate when sharing the information.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Power is your ultimate aphrodisiac. Now that it's in your grasp, you feel like you're at the top of the world. However, as the week progresses, you’ll see that being the most popular kid on the block and ruling the hallways at school isn't what it's cracked up to be. It can be lonely at the top if you don't have the right crew protecting and supporting your interests. You're finding that people are using you for their own gain, which is why you should only trust the pals that you know are the real deal.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

The romance factor is high this week. You have been wanting to have an intimate moment with your boo. Now is the time to make it happen. It’ll be great to finally have a candlelit dinner under the stars followed by a cuddle session with your one and only. Be realistic about what will happen and how the date will go, because sometimes you have big ideas that aren’t always possible. As long as your expectations aren't unrealistically high, you’ll have a wonderful time.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Your fellow students are acting out in class and interfering with your learning. Although you usually relish moments like these, you find that the havoc they are causing interferes with your GPA — which is not cool. With your mind focused on your studies, you might want to spend more time at the library to enhance your knowledge since your teacher spends the bulk of time disciplining the students instead of discussing what is on the syllabus. Ask your school for sources to read. Also, your educator might be open to pre-recording the class so it is available online.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

The clouds are beginning to part in your emotional life. For the first time in months, you’re feeling optimistic. It is your job to protect your energy from those who bring darkness and negativity. When they come at you with complaints and drama, do your best to avoid participating because the vampiric nature of their behavior can suck you dry. Their problems will bring you down and have an intense effect on you. Be wise in this situation and remember to set boundaries before it becomes too difficult for you to get out of the friendship.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

The persona you share with the world is different from who you really are. Those who are close to you are lucky to experience and know the “real” you, who is kind-hearted and generous. The world may think you have an ego or attitude — when in reality, it’s just an act. Don’t hesitate to let your true self be seen by others this week. They will probably love getting to know you, and you’ll enjoy being seen. This new attitude could mark a turning point in your life and begin to showcase your most authentic and unique persona.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

If you’ve been thinking about the colleges you want to apply to, now is the time to decide about sending an application out for early action. Before you make any decisions, make sure that you are ready for the commitment. Sometimes your malleable mind flip flops after mulling things over. You do not have to make a decision this month. You can always apply to a handful of schools during the regular admissions period in the new year. The bottom line is that you shouldn’t feel pressured about this. Take your time before jumping into a situation impulsively.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

Your confidence is peaking, giving you the strength to stand up for yourself. It will feel good to defend yourself against adversity and those who aim to put you down. You’re normally quite sweet and you don’t want to be rude, so it’s best to apologize if you put your foot in your mouth and work toward using more appropriate words to express your sentiments — especially in the heat of the moment.
