A recent Willistonian survey revealed that only 12% of Williston students believe in the pseudo-science of Astrology, while another 38% said they “kind of” do. Each human is placed under one of 12 zodiac signs at birth; each sign has a long list of associated characteristic. Of course, not everyone fits into these characteristics, and it may not be your true nature. Other people, however, believe their horoscope speaks to who they truly are at their core.

A horoscope for each sign can be found daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  A horoscope, if you choose to believe, can provide key insight into the future. Today I’m here to give you a free horoscope reading. But before I get into it, I want to make it clear that I am no expert; I’m just telling you what the stars positions are revealing today. So maybe you need some advice to help you make it through this next week. Whether you believe in astrology or not, stick with me because you might just hear something that needed to be said.

Libra♎︎: September 23- October 22

Libras let’s begin with you because it’s your time to shine. I’ll start by saying Happy Birthday! Sometimes it may feel like you’re all alone, and it’s easy to let these feelings drag you don’t. But let me make it clear: It’s not worth your time. Not everyone has the ability to contextualize their feelings like you do. Something is weighing on your conscience and you might have spent a lot of time thinking about it, subconsciously or unconsciously. Take a step back for a moment and take a deep breath because you’ve got this, Libra.

Scorpio♏︎: October 23- November 21

Hey Scorpio, you’ve been busy recently.  You’ve found yourself trying out some new things. Change is something you tend to embrace, whether you realize it or not. But with all these new changes, big or small, it’s important to remember where you came from. Think back to something that used to work. Everyone needs a little change here and there, but sometimes you are quick to act and get rid of something Scorpio. Go back and re-evaluate it, is it worth taking back?

Sagittarius♐︎: November 22- December 21

Sagittarius! You have truly been embracing the fire sign label.  You’ve been having some difficulty communicating how you truly feel recently. You certainly haven’t been quiet, but you haven’t been saying what you really want. Sometimes things have to get harder before they can get easier. Tap into your true feelings. You are feeling misunderstood.  Tell someone how you feel, get it all out into the open, that way you can figure out what you think is true. Right now, this isn’t about who is right and who is wrong; it’s about what is true.

Capricorn♑︎: December 22- January 19

Back to school season is basically over. If you haven’t already, it’s time to get your stuff together, Capricorn. Time for some serious cleansing and organizing. Now is the time to put your best foot forward. If you start strong now, you can channel that energy for the rest of the year.  With peace and love, get it together! Because in the end it will only benefit you and those around you. It may be challenging to go forwards with this new endeavor, but trust the stars.

Aquarius♒︎: January 20- February 18

Hey Aquarius, how are you? I know you have been feeling weighed down recently. Imagine your life is like a scale, anything can tip it a certain way. Lately you might have just been hoping for it to balance out in your favor, but balance isn’t always good in this case. Cheesy, I know, but these difficult things can only make you grow for the better.  Embrace this tipping of the scale and take the goodness it is giving you. Understand that it may feel like a heavy anchor is pulling you down to your worst, but you can only go up from here and good karma will be coming for you soon.

Pisces♓︎: February 19-March 20

As a water sign, emotions always run high for you, Pisces. But recently it may have felt like an increase. With all these complicated feelings pulling you each and every way, you might just want to scream and get it all out. But let this be your warning to be careful with who you share this emotional time with. Don’t let yourself get walked over or taken advantage of. In the black and white of it all, find the gray area and watch closely to how you respond.

Aries♈︎: March 21- April 19

You’re teetering on the edge of a burnout. Don’t let it happen though, not this early in the year. There is things you can do to prevent it.  You’ve always been busy and motivated but give some of that energy to focusing on yourself. Start to install a self-care Sunday into your weekends. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, just do something that makes you feel good. Leaning on others can be good, that way you can get back to being motivated in a way that makes you feel good.

Taurus♉︎: April 20-May 20

The Taurus is strong, bold and hardheaded. These traits are commendable, but recently it’s been taken the wrong way.  You want to be a part of it, whatever that “it” is. Your ambition, however, can come off the wrong way as cockiness.  Try to settle with the way things are for now. Think about the little things and try to find pleasure in them. If you spend to much energy on the big picture, you’ll lose sight of the smaller things that contribute to the main idea. Release that stress and do something fun.

Gemini♊︎: May 21- June 20

True to your namesake of the Gemini Twins, you typically have two personalities which come out depending on who you are with.  In recent weeks you have found yourself having a new burst of confidence that you’ve manifested into something specifically. Keep this energy but channel it towards one of two personas. Challenge yourself to let that one side of you shine through and show to everyone. Only one twin is the real and true you: be that twin this week. Be confident in your decision to show yourself.

Cancer♋︎: June 21- July 22

Curiosity killed the cat, don’t forget that, Cancer. You have that need for control, a need to know what’s going on all the time. Before you take the bait, take a step back. Sometimes it’s better to not know. You don’t want to find yourself biting off more than you can chew right? It’s hard for you to slow down right now. Don’t overdo it, don’t overthink it. Easier said than done, but just start small and work towards dismissing bigger things that are irrelevant in the long run.

Leo♌︎: July 23-August 22

Leo, you’ve always been dubbed the “selfish” one as one of your biggest flaws. But you need to realize that it’s important to look out for yourself. Don’t let hurtful words weigh you down and don’t overthink every little thing. It’s time to overcome those feelings of separation and break down that wall you’ve built around you. It’s okay to feel how you are feeling, don’t let anyone invalidate that. Be truthful with yourself in these next few weeks.  And if you have to tell it how it is, so be it, as long as it’s important to you.

Virgo♍︎: August 23- September 22

Last on my list, but certainly not least, is you, Virgo.  You’ve got a lot on your mind. Busy can be good, but it can also become bad if you don’t execute it properly. Keep those good ideas flowing, share them with someone you know will appreciate it. But pace yourself and step back.  Think about these ideas as steps in the path of your life. How can you modify these to best suit you? When the time comes and you are put to the task, remember those ideas, as stupid as they may seem and trust yourself.  You control your own path right now.
