Aries (March 21-April 20) While it may seem counterintuitive to delay your goals, that’s exactly what you should do this week. Take a moment to slow down and reexamine your work. This is the big moment you’ve been working and waiting for so it has to be perfect. It’s worth a few extra days for a project you’ve put your soul into.

Taurus (April 21-May 21) You may be experiencing some confusion with your friends or with a romantic interest. Remember that communication is the key to any relationship and that the other person needs to know how you’re feeling if you expect them to change their behavior. Be patient and open and be prepared to make a compromise.

Gemini (May 22-June 21) Research projects are starting to eat up all of your free time. It may be tempting to slack off over the break but you should use that time to get ahead. You’re typically a procrastinator so this may be hard, but your future self will appreciate a night off much more than a week of slacking. Space out the work and by the time the break ends you could make good progress on this project.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Your brain is probably feeling cluttered with all these midterms so the break will be the perfect time to do some spring cleaning. Making lists can be really helpful to take stock of what you’re thinking and feeling. Try to develop some new self care habits to take into the second half of the semester. This refresher is just what you need to feel brand new!

Leo (July 23-August 21) If you have something on your mind, put it into words. Keeping your feelings bottled up won’t do you any good and you may lose opportunities as a result. Speak up and verbalize the things that have been troubling you because now is the perfect time to take action. You may even be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Virgo (August 22-September 21) Avoid gossip and petty behavior for the foreseeable future. What you may think of as mindless, witty banter could actually come back to bite you or someone else. Take the high road this time and keep your opinions to yourself. Now is the time to be quiet and observant; the time to speak out again will come.

Libra (September 22-October 23) Choose your words carefully these next few weeks. You’re in a precarious position and the balance could tip at any moment. Avoid any serious confrontations and try to identify the source of this discomfort. If things remain calm for now, balance will soon be restored and you can carry on as usual.

Scorpio (October 24-November 22) Now is the time to make a change in your environment because you’re really starting to get stuck in a routine. Think of new ways to shake up your schedule. Try taking a different route to class, trying a new diet or food challenge, and catch up with people from your past. Monotony is never fun so be aware of your surroundings and how you can twist them to your advantage.

Sagittarius (November 23-December 22) What you lack in motivation you make up for in enthusiasm. You have a tendency to overdo things so be aware of your own limitations. Weigh what you’re capable of with what you actually want to do and do what feels right, not what others might be expecting of you.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20) Honesty is always the best policy, even when the news could be hurtful to someone. It’s better they know the truth than to spend eternity wondering and worrying. Be honest and forthcoming with how you feel and be prepared to help pick up the pieces if other people don’t necessarily like the answer.

Aquarius (January 21-February 19) You can be a bit of a workaholic so the upcoming break will be both good and bad for you. The time off will be perfect for relaxation, but you may worry about some looming responsibility you’ve forgotten. Triple check your calendar before the break begins to avoid these rain clouds spoiling your sunshine.

Pisces (February 20-March 20) Keep your head out of the clouds these next few weeks. You’ve been imagining all sorts of impossible scenarios and it’s starting to distract you from real life. Focus on the relationships, opportunities, and obligations you have and don’t worry so much about the things you could have.
