August 23 - September 22

It’s time to cut out all the excess that you have and simplify your life. This means taking charge of your home. Clean your home with intention: With every sweep, think of what you’re removing from your life and what you wish to add. Open up the windows to get fresh air inside and let the stale energy from summer leave your dwelling. Also, clear out your closets and pantries. Donate the items you do not want to charity to spread the love with your local community. All of this will help you embrace the upcoming season with optimism.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

You have been quietly contemplating the next steps in your personal affairs to achieve the success you desire. Since you’ve been planning out every single move over the past several weeks, you’re hoping that you will be able to implement your aspirations without a hitch. However, there might be a few hiccups along the way, which is why you shouldn’t be overcommitted to one way of thinking. Use your airy intelligence to provide fluidity and to figure out another move if the plan you have thought out proves to be a no-go right now.

October 23 - November 21

Lately, you’ve been putting a lot of the blame from the up and down circumstances of your relationship on yourself. And, that’s not fair. It takes two to tango, so your partner should be accountable as well. You’re not solely responsible for the issues that are going on. TBH, you’ve given more energy to making this relationship work than they have and now you’re at a loss about what to do. Give yourself time to meditate on your decisions, reach out to close friends for advice, and be gentle on yourself as you move forward.

November 22 - December 21

As you dream of the past, reflect with kindness and love. Don’t look back with anger, especially toward old acquaintances and exes who’ve let you down. They might not have shown their best behavior to you, but that could mean your former pals were struggling, too. Hurt people hurt people. Try to forgive them in order for you to move forward. If you can’t let go of the pain they caused, write a letter that expresses these sentiments. You don’t have to mail it, but it’ll be healing to get these deep rooted emotions off your chest.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

When you’re feeling less confident than usual, you like to show off your skills and material goods. You don’t have to drip yourself in riches or have baller fits to prove to people that you’re a stellar human. And, you shouldn’t have to play off your wits to be acknowledged by others. You are a fabulous person inside and out. Don’t ever think you have to be someone you’re not to gain attention and affection. Truth be told, you already are all those things that you want to be and then some. Believe in yourself.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

You’ll want to dip out of the scene this week and spend the upcoming days on your own interests. This could entail practicing a musical instrument, prepping your Halloween costume, baking, or painting. It’ll feel nice and refreshing to be reacquainted with yourself. If you have a friend who asks to join you in your endeavors, invite them to participate. Just let them know that you’re having a low key couple of days and are only engaging with chill energy. No drama is welcome in your home at this time. You’re aiming for positive vibes at this moment in time.

February 19 - March 20

Being at the top of your scholastic game means that opportunities are presenting themselves to you. A chance to run for student council or to run an extracurricular activity or club is being suggested to you by your guidance counselor. Don’t ignore this proposition. Use it as your lean-in moment to grow as a person and to aid your peers. Ruling the hallways of school and making positive sweeping changes for the student body will benefit everyone as you’re helping to evolve the curriculum to the needs of your classmates.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

You’re one of the few people who automatically feels guilty after they do something shady — but that doesn’t stop you from doing it. The problem is that your impulse control isn’t high, making you jump before thinking. Keep this in mind when an opportunity to improve your grades comes your way this week that is on the borderline of cheating. Use your judgment to avoid being unscrupulous and to stop you in the tracks before choosing the lower vibration of the cosmic influences. Don’t do anything that could stain your character. Be a good ram and study hard instead.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

You are taking charge of your life by confronting anyone who causes you strife and creates drama. Your sweet nature is exhausted by the ongoing sagas that your pals cause as a result of them inserting their opinion and energy into your business. As a result of your frustrations, your voice will be loud and assertive, which juxtaposes your typical tenderness. The reason for your direct approach in this case is that you are tired of being taken advantage of. The time has come to take your bullish nature by the horns and deal with the problems.

May 21 - June 20

The pressure to succeed is coming at you from many different angles. With a ton of projects, papers, and presentations mounting, it’s hard for you to keep up. The lesson is to stop taking on too much and know when to ask for help. Also, you don’t have to do it all in order to be a great student. Nobody’s judging your GPA but you, which is why you should put the extra credit work aside and enjoy your life. Take a breath of the fresh autumnal air and be present without these stresses.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

There is a fine line between love and hate, but when it comes to your friends, a little argument won't push you across that line. Arguments happen on occasion, but that is common when you spend 24/7 together. A great way to combat this energy is to expand your social circle and to not take the comments of others too seriously. Even though it’s hard, you shouldn’t give too much light to the words people say when they’re in a mood because they do not mean it — the same goes for you, too.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

All the world’s a stage, but that doesn’t mean you have to act your way through life. As you’ll come to see this week, being genuine is a key attribute that you should always strive for. When a member of your squad hurts your feelings or steps on your toes (metaphorically speaking), then asks you if you’re ok with their behavior, speak your truth rather than gaslighting yourself into accepting their conduct. Get mad. Cry if you have to. Be honest with your emotions and heart. Don’t hold back in an effort to be accommodating and copacetic.
