Aquarius January 20- February 18
As an Air sign, you are a deep thinker, an intellectual, and a very logical person. Be aware of your thoughts, though, because sometimes you can get in your own head a bit too much and allow your emotions to cloud your thinking. With the approaching new year, it is a great time for you to try new things and discover new passions. However, make sure you don’t get ahead of yourself and don’t overwhelm yourself with too many activities. This could lead you to be more emotional than usual, which may hinder your endeavors.
Pisces February 19- March 20
Throughout this winter, you should try to get out and have some fun, maybe attend a holiday party or two. Pisces are typically introverted people, and while that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s good to get out of your comfort zone once in a while. You tend to be indecisive and, at times, you don’t trust yourself enough. This is a good time to think about your priorities and make decisions about your life and what makes you happy. Even if you decide holiday parties aren’t for you, at least go do some holiday baking with your friends. You might have trouble getting yourself to go out, but just keep reminding yourself how great those gingerbread cookies will taste.
Aries March 21- April 19
You are a Fire sign, which makes you extremely passionate and enthusiastic about many things in life. Aries is also a cardinal sign, making you a powerful leader with a strong ability to initiate new things. With the upcoming December 21st winter solstice, the sun will be placed in a position square to Aries. This will likely lead you to come to the realization that there is something in your life you should go about differently. Instead of being stubborn, try to consider multiple outlooks of situations and try things that are outside of “the norm” for you. Go get a fun Starbuck’s drink instead of your usual iced coffee, or roll the dice and talk to that person you’ve been thinking about. Overall, you are a strong person, but remember that it’s OK to make mistakes.
Taurus April 20- May 20
You are always determined and hard-working, but with that comes a lot of stubbornness. Listen to your friends when working on group projects this coming year, and be open to their opinions and ideas. Allow your ruling planet, Venus, to lead the way, and allow yourself to get into the holiday spirit. Tauruses tend to enjoy nature and have a strong connection with the environment. Before the humidity returns, you should take advantage of this nice weather and go for a walk. Enjoy all of the beautiful decorations around the city, and if you really want to get into it, decorate your own house.
Gemini May 21- June 20
Geminis are known for their amazing ability to adapt to change and their quick-wittedness. You are also very curious and want to know the reasons behind some things that others wouldn’t think so deeply about. However, you have a tendency to not follow through with your endeavors. You likely start many chapters without ever finishing them. With the beginning of the new year, it’s a good time to think about what activities you would like to continue and what you should let go. It will be good for you to try to master specific things, instead of attempting to be a jack of all trades.
Cancer June 21- July 22
You’re a very empathetic person, and you’re capable of truly feeling other people’s emotions. However, this quality can also lead you to experience intense mood swings, so try not to let it get out of hand and do your best to keep yourself under control. You are very committed in friendships/relationships, and you are a very loyal, trustworthy person. You are also good at forgiving people, and now is the perfect time to do so. Don’t start the year off with any grudges. Comfort is something you value, so the changing of the seasons may be difficult and could affect you more than others. Do what you can to take care of yourself. Light a candle, get cozy in your holiday pajamas, and relax.
Leo July 23- August 22
This winter, you should focus on your happiness. Your ruling planet, the sun, represents energy and vibrancy, so take advantage of the positivity the winter solstice will bring to you. Have a lot of fun experiences, but be sure to keep your strong sense of pride in check so you don’t come off as arrogant toward your peers. Leos are symbolized by a lion because they are fierce, passionate, and strong. Use these strengths wisely, especially in school, because they have the power to have a positive impact on your life.
Virgo August 23- September 22
This month you should devote yourself to learning something new. Virgos absorb new information quickly and can pick up a new skill in no time. You are also an earth sign, which makes you a very hard worker and overall a grounded person. You tend to be a perfectionist, and you want things to be done your way because you think you know better than others. Try to be open to other people’s opinions, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Virgos can be very critical toward themselves, as well as others. This leads you to be highly competitive at times, and this just so happens to be the perfect season to have gingerbread house-decorating competitions, but don’t be too upset if your peppermint-covered house doesn’t place first.
Libra September 23- October 22
Before the new year, you should fix any problems you may be having with friends. Libras value relationships with others, so problems in this area could have strong, negative impacts on your life. You strongly dislike conflict and, in order to avoid it, you sometimes dismiss things that upset you. Remember to have confidence in yourself and to communicate with other people when something is bothering you. You want to start the year off as your happiest self, so take the actions needed to make this happen.
Scorpio October 23- November 21
This month, you should take a break and truly focus on yourself. Scorpios like to keep themselves very busy and almost always have a lot going on in life. They also tend to be intense people, which is both a good and bad quality. This intensity can, however, make you very hard on yourself and can overwhelm you. Make time for yourself and do what makes you happy. It’s OK to sometimes take breaks from all of your activities in order to prioritize yourself. Get into some comfortable pajamas and watch as many Hallmark movies as your heart desires. Scorpios thrive in cold weather, so don’t forget to pray for snow!
Sagittarius November 22- December 21
If possible, this winter you should travel. Sagittariuses are very curious and love to explore. Traveling makes you extremely happy, especially when you go far distances. If you do decide to take a trip, get creative with it and allow your adventurous mind to guide you. However, be careful to not be too impulsive. Sagittariuses have a tendency to do things without thinking and end up regretting them later on. In your travels, have fun, but don’t be reckless.
Capricorn December 22- January 19
This month you should think deeply about your future. If you’re not sure what you would like to pursue a career in, now is a great time to explore your interests. You are a very determined person, so once you set a goal for your future you will do everything in your power to achieve it. Always be aware of any worrisome thoughts you are experiencing because Capricorns tend to experience unnecessary anxiety over minute things. You also have a special sentimental quality, and you enjoy engaging in things that give you a sense of nostalgia. Have some fun looking through old holiday photos from your childhood.
