Spring break is nearly upon us! Check out what’s in store for you, written by someone who knows close-to nothing about astrology.
What do I know about astrology? Very little. Am I a reliable source to tell you your horoscope for your spring break? Absolutely not. But nonetheless, here I am, because I believe it is never too late to learn about something new.
The little knowledge I have gained about astrology I learned in passing and from conversations with strangers and friends asking, “What’s your zodiac sign?” I respond with “Gemini,” and am met with concerned looks, or further questions like, “What’s your big three?” — which only results in my confusion.
From these interactions though, I have slowly gathered some understanding of each of the signs. Due to my lack of credibility, take everything I say with a grain of salt — I am pretty much making it up as I go along. We’re here to have fun, so without further ado, here are your spring break horoscopes from an astrology novice.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your birthday is coming up Aries, so start planning. Or don’t — if parties and celebrations aren’t your thing. In that case, find a way to treat yourself over break or in the weeks following. You should expect a surprise over break. It could be the opportunity for a new adventure, or you might just find a dime while walking on a sidewalk. Either way, something is heading your direction, because I said so.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Have you been feeling a little lost lately, Taurus? That’s okay, it happens to us all. I think everything is going to start falling into place this month. Spring break will be the perfect time for you to reflect on what makes you happy and evaluate your recent feelings. Maybe use the opportunity to organize by buying a planner or cleaning out your car that has been overflowing with receipts, clothes and spare change. Just take small steps to better yourself. I think March 28 will be interesting for you. I will not elaborate any further.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, you have a lot going on in your life and are thinking a lot about your future. You need to use spring break to take an actual break. As a fellow Gemini, this is what I’ll be doing over the break, and you should too. Pick up a hobby you have abandoned somewhere in the chaos of the semester. Grab a bag of bread and head to your nearest body of water to feed the locals — and by that I mean the waterfowl. Actually, bring oats or seeds, which are better for their digestive systems. By relaxing, you will be able to come back ready to finish your semester strong.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Hey there, Cancer. You might be satisfied right now — or maybe not — but either way, spring break and beyond might be chaotic. Just pretend you’re the main character and you’ll get through it. Summer is right around the corner anyway, so have fun, but also catch up on the things you have been putting off. That way when you return, you can be more present in your social life and academics.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Hi Leo. So far, you may have felt isolated this semester. If you find some free time during the break, you should connect with someone you’ve been meaning to for a while. Maybe take a moment to reach out to an old friend or a relative you haven’t caught up with. With less on your plate, you can use the time to call, message or even send mail to someone you care about to let them know you’re thinking of them. You should keep an eye out for opportunities to make new acquaintances too; you never know when someone important will enter your life. The next numbered street sign you see is your lucky number.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Virgo, you’re going to thrive over spring break — as long as you open yourself up to it. Do things you normally wouldn’t, only if they are safe and legal. Go to a restaurant you have always wanted to try, or go roller skating — welcome every opportunity. Also, drink more water. I get the feeling that you and I haven’t been drinking enough. It’s okay, we’re in this together.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
You have your life together, Libra, but you’re doing too much. Don’t try to use spring break to keep taking on more tasks and be as productive as possible — just do nothing. Make a list of everything you need to get done before break ends, then put it aside until a day or two before classes start back up. Take a deep breath and catch up on sleep. Find a dog and give it a pat on the head. Make a paper hat — just leave the school work alone, please.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Happy days are heading your way, Scorpio. Don’t dwell too much on the days that aren’t the best. Over spring break, you will have the chance to focus on what you enjoy in life, so make sure to pay close attention. Here’s a lucky number: 19. Just because, why not?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Spring break will bring creativity for you, Sagittarius. Hone in on a skill you have always wanted to improve on. Bake some pastries, or write some really bad poetry. Most of the fun of trying new things is being really bad at first, so burn a few cookies and do a finger-painting not even worthy of the fridge. Have an unserious, yet fun time over the break.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Capricorn, it is time to face the consequences of your actions. Just kidding. I think your spring break is going to be quite uneventful. You’re going to have to take initiative to get out there and do something. The nine days are lemons — make lemonade with them. Don’t waste the days doing nothing just to regret it when you return to your normal schedule.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Aquarius, you might find a romantic interest over spring break, or a new friend — someone is entering your life — so approach and talk to people with cool outfits, or share a smile. You might end up with a super cool new acquaintance. Or just don’t socialize — that works too. It’s your break, do whatever your heart desires.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Be honest with yourself, Pisces: How many bad habits have you picked up throughout the semester? You’ve needed some change in your life, and instead of saying you’ll fix these habits once the semester ends, stop pushing them aside and start over break. You don’t get a lucky number, but rather a lucky color: magenta. Every time you see it, evaluate how you are doing with this challenge and then treat yourself to something sweet.
These horoscopes may have been too extensive and all over the place, but I will further my astrology studies and give predictions and advice on future months, weeks or even random days in the future. Until then, enjoy spring break and don’t listen to a word I just said — unless it ends up being true.
