ARIES

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)

You might be finding it hard to find direction in your life. It may seem like you’re losing your balance and falling, but spend some time getting to know yourself and what you actually want to be doing with your future. Your independent and intense nature might cause you to feel like you have to deal with your frustration on your own, but don’t forget that you can always confide in a friend. Watch “Ladybird.”

TAURUS

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20)

Put a little extra effort into spending time with your friends because it is going to bring you the sense of satisfaction that you have been craving. There is a lot of positive energy surrounding you right now, so make sure to embrace it and have fun with the people you care the most about. Watch “Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

GEMINI

(MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

You may notice that you have an increase in your workload lately and that you aren’t feeling particularly passionate about any of the projects that you’ve been assigned. Take matters into your own hands, and blaze your own trail. You are adaptable and intelligent, so you shouldn’t have any problems with this transition. Watch “Unbreakable.”

CANCER

(JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Anything is possible for you right now, and you should focus on reaching your potential. You are responsible for listening to your dreams and turning them into reality. Instead of being fixated on the small details of your ideas, use your creative side and don’t limit your imagination when thinking about your dreams. Watch “Spirited Away.”

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22)

You’ve been relying heavily on logic and reason lately and second guessing yourself. Learn how to trust your gut. This is a time of self-improvement for you, so surround yourself with close friends and let your guard down. You’re a friendly and kind person that others are naturally drawn to, so don’t be afraid to be vulnerable around your friends; they really care about you. Watch “Good Will Hunting.”

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22)

Now is a good time for you to work on deepening the closest relationships in your life. Your analytical nature makes it easy for you to read the people in your life and derive how they are feeling, but this doesn’t mean they know how you feel. Make sure you are expressing your emotions, because hiding your feelings isn’t fair to you. Watch “First Man.”

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22)

Take a deep breath. You might be experiencing a lot of stress right now which is OK, but make sure you’re taking care of yourself and maybe start a new self-care routine. Stop worrying so much about the future and remember to live in the present. Cherish everyday as it comes and recalibrate your internal sense of balance. Watch “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21)

You need to find a way to express your emotions. Whether it be an artistic outlet like writing or painting, or simply opening up to a trusted friend, it might finally be time to let those walls down. Now is a really good time for trying new things, so put yourself out there and open yourself up to the possibility of change happening in your life. Be flexible. Watch “Rocketman.”

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)

In order to get rid of some of the emotional baggage you’ve been carrying, you need to get rid of some physical items. Do some organizing and donate any items that no longer bring you happiness. This will revive your spirits and bring a clean and positive energy into your life. Watch “Zombieland.”

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19)

Typically you’re not the type to talk about your emotions. With how busy life can get for you, it is important to vocalize how you are feeling with those around you.. First, understand that it’s OK to take a break sometimes; you don’t always have to prioritize work or doing things for others. Just because you show your emotions to others or prioritize self-care doesn’t mean you are weak. Watch “Isle of Dogs.”

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)

You may find yourself spending too much time in your head. Stop overthinking and trust what your body is telling you. One of your biggest strengths is that you have a very unconventional view on life and its challenges, always seeing an innovative solution to the challenges that arise. You may find that your friends will be coming to you for advice because of this — don’t let that scare you off. Watch “Dead Poets Society.”

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20)

You may have been feeling inspired to make some changes in your life. Embrace the authentic version of yourself, you don’t have to worry about putting on a facade for anyone. Whether it be something small like starting a hobby or something larger like embracing a new philosophy, you should prioritize self-improvement and working toward being the true you. Watch “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”
