Horoscopes
Ah, we’ve reached December. While the 2020 holiday season may seem a little different, I hope you all are still surrounded with happiness. Once exams are officially over, take time to chill. Till we meet again in February!
Birthday: If you were born December 10th, happy happy happy birthday! Also, if you were born June 10th, happy happy happy half birthday!
Aries (mar. 20-apr.18) : Your value is not based on your productivity. Be content with yourself first and the rest will fall into place.
Taurus (apr.19-may 20) : Do not let fear and rejection discourage you this month, Tauruses. Instead let it fuel you to work even harder.
Gemini (may 21-june 20) : Take time this month to truly unpack your feelings. Write them all down, listen to yourself, and if you feel comfortable, share them with someone you trust.
Cancer (june 21-july 22) : You are so ready to turn the page. Be open to forgiveness and growth, Cancers. You are stronger than you think.
Leo (july 23-aug. 22) : Be grateful this month, Leos. Find time to appreciate the little aspects of your life that make you happiest.
Virgo (aug. 23-sept. 22): Your past, your fear, and your anxiety do not define you. Remember that this month, Virgos.
Libra (sept. 23-oct. 22) : You cannot control the actions of others. This month, take time to prioritize your own peace. The only thing you can control is yourself.
Scorpio (oct. 23- nov. 21) : Scorpios, this month find some independence. You are allowed to want me-time.
Sagittarius (nov. 22-dec. 21) : Use this month to help you figure out your goals for the future and how you will get there. You are in complete control.
Capricorn (dec. 22- jan. 19) : Do not listen to others who try to put you down. Capricorns, only you know what is best for you.
Aquarius (jan. 20-feb. 18) : In a frankly very dim world, be a source of light and positivity. Lift someone up and do not forget about yourself along the way.
Pisces (feb. 19-mar. 19) : Your never-ending to-do list is finally coming to an end. Take time to relax and enjoy simplicity this month.
