Seemingly overnight, leaves are beginning to fall, pumpkin spice lines every shelf and no matter what layers you put on in the morning, you’ll be sweating by noon — welcome to September, stars. Astrologically, this month is all about change, working toward your goals and gearing up for eclipse season. This week, you’ll have the motivation to clear out the old and make way for the new. Even Clark is finally saying goodbye to its asbestos-infested lecture halls to make space for something better — I hope it’s a Spirit Halloween. What you compost from your life now will nourish your future successes.
Love,

Aries (March 21 – April 19):
It’s hardly your fault if you’re trying — and failing — to convince yourself not to skip class in the third week. Your planetary ruler, Mars, is moving into the cozy sign of Cancer. If you’re feeling homesick, take time to tend to your home life, family, sense of security and how you nurture yourself. The new moon is a great time to reevaluate your daily routines, habits and work-life balance. Self-care is productive, Aries.
Aries survival guide: FaceTime a loved one, dine on comfort foods, try meditating before bed, clock off 5 minutes early and embrace unabashed laziness.

Whatever it may be, think of ways you can implement it into your daily routine and take this as an opportunity to break free from old patterns. The new moon in your sector of creativity, romance and pleasure brings a fresh perspective, so get creative about how you’re going to change your life this week. Welcome to your personal revolution, Taurus.
Taurus survival guide: Start a new routine or creative project, ask out your crush, weed your literal or metaphorical garden, be a little too much, say the wrong thing and do what lights you up.
