Aries (March 21-April 19) Today, everything is on fire. Remember, flames can make ashes but they can also make swords— let it guide you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Make yourself a priority. Think of your future self— what do they look like? Sound like? Did you look in the mirror?

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Don’t freak out if what you learn in your class doesn’t apply to the real life, not everything can be pink.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Don’t be compulsive, routines aren’t everything. Just because someone was there today doesn’t mean you’ll see them tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You know who you are: a shield, a tree, a lion. You don’t have to be these for other people, but always be them for yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Find a clean surface. Think about what you needed yesterday, and paint the surface blue.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Say what you’re feeling today, if not for the catharsis do it because people need to hear it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You don’t need to prove yourself to your classmates through an ice breaker. You know they’re stupid, relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The fog seems to be fading away. Draw a map of what you can see while it’s still clear, so you can find yourself when it isn’t.  

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Those around you admire your work ethic, but is that good enough? Good ideas won’t come from impressing others.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can’t dismantle your entire world view in one night. Read everything, see everything, listen to everything. Progress is progress is progress.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Give up, your phone is dead. Go sit outside for a change. Maybe the lagoon will tell you something.
