Horoscopes
More stories from Molly Murphy
Aries (March 21-April 20) People will be really focused on themselves this week, effectively taking you out of the spotlight. Don’t get upset! Try to enjoy a party of one for a little while. It can be hard being alone since you’re a very social person, but you need to get used to existing with yourself. You won’t always have other people to use a shield.
Taurus (April 21-May 21) You’ll probably be feeling really homesick this week, but try not to despair. Make some time to call your family and schedule a trip home soon. The best thing you can do right now is make wherever you are feel like home. Put down roots and let them grow. Get attached to every place you go and you’ll never be lost.
Gemini (May 22-June 21) You might feel under attack this week, like you’ll be shot down the second you step into the open. Play it safe and stay in your comfort zone for a while. Work on things that are easy for you and indulge in some comfort food. There’s nothing wrong with slowing down and watching Netflix for a while.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) There may be some emotional strain in your life right now, but this can be remedied with self reflection and self care. Put things in perspective, and don’t get weighed down by little things. Grades can be saved, relationships can be mended, and storm clouds always pass. Focus on what’s going well, and be kind to yourself.
Leo (July 23-August 21) Now is the time for joyful optimism. Your attitude will be taking a serious upward shift soon which will be great for your productivity. Finish up those midterms, and set your sights on final projects while this energy lasts. It won’t be around forever, so it’s best to get as much accomplished now while there’s a fire in your heart.
Virgo (August 22-September 23) The hardest choice right now might be simply making up your mind. You have so many good ideas, so many possibilities in your life, you may be uncertain of which to pursue first. Get organized. Narrow down what you’re passionate about and what’s within the realm of possibility. Making a plan gets easier when you understand all the angles.
Libra (September 24-October 23) People might be trying to get closer to you, but may feel intimidated. Open yourself up to new possibilities. You’re probably the one who needs to take the first step in pursuing new relationships. Don’t sit around waiting for people to come knocking at your door, or you might end up missing out.
Scorpio (October 24-November 22) Draw strength from the fact that you are unique. No one else looks, feels, thinks, or acts like you. Start using that to your advantage. Voice your ideas and opinions and pursue things that interest you. It’s your life, and you should never be afraid to take control of it.
Sagittarius (November 23-December 22) Sometimes it can be hard to get out of your own head. Talk things through with people you trust and listen to what they have to say. Take advice to heart and apply it to your life, but don’t internalize what you’re feeling. Expressing yourself can do wonders for your confidence, self esteem, and mental health.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20) Friendships can be difficult to maintain as the semester gets rougher. Try not to be so hard on your friends; they’re struggling just as much as you. It’s a two way street, and you’ll have to make time for each other, but keep in mind that everyone is busy. Sometimes people just need some space.
Aquarius (January 21-February 19) People aren’t always the most sensitive to your situations. Remember that when you walk out the door, you’ll encounter people willing to support you through anything and people who just don’t care about your wellbeing. Face them all with strength and pride.
Pisces (February 20-March 20) Maintain a neutral viewpoint on the problems currently plaguing you. You’ll have a greater advantage if you can distance yourself from the emotional crux of the issue. It’s hard not to completely lose yourself to the negative emotions and just as hard not to get caught up in the positive ones. Keep yourself grounded. Stay calm.
