Horoscopes

By Naomii Seah (she/her)

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

You’re feeling extra comfy this week, Taurus. No wonder, as the new moon moves into your sign. Wrap yourself in a blanket and stay at home. It’s rainy outside anyway; who needs to go out when you have everything right here? With all the time at home, you could even pick up a new hobby. Embroidery? Cocktail making? Air-dry clay? You can order all those online.

Your new clique: You, yourself, and you.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

The sun is about to move into your sign, Gemini, and you’re feeling extra pumped for your birthday season. Your friends are feeling it too, and everyone around you is putting in extra effort this week. The sun in Gemini means your social skills are on 100, and people are confiding in you more than usual. Just make sure it doesn’t land you in trouble.

Your new clique: The friends you have now… minus one.

Cancer (Jun 21 -Jul 22)

You’re feeling more sentimental than usual, Cancer. Something about the changing weather just makes you want to curl up with some hot chocolate and call your mum. Jupiter is moving into Pisces after all, your fellow water sign. So spend some more time with those you love.

Your new clique: Your mum

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

The Saturn retrograde is going to make you question your whole existence, Leo. What’s the point of being this fabulous if there’s no one around to appreciate it? Sure, you have your friends, and your family, but they’re not entirely devoted to worshipping you. But if you look hard enough, new connections on the horizon may just give you what you’re looking for.

Your new clique: Starting your own cult of personality.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

It’s time to focus on your friends, Virgo. With work and study and stress catching up to you this whole week, it’s like you’ve barely had time to catch your breath, let alone make plans with anyone. But sometimes you don’t need to make plans, sometimes it’s enough to just exist around your nearest and dearest. It’s time to rethink how you approach your connections. Call your friends on Zoom and just have a nap. I promise they’ll appreciate it.

Your new clique: Literally anyone that’s not your daily diary.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 23)

Uh oh Libra, trouble is in the air for you this fortnight. You’ve been networking hard for those professional connections, but have you checked the privacy on your social media recently? Maybe it’s time to stop posting those 1 am thirst traps you’re fond of. You do look hot though.

Your new clique: WINZ.

Scorpio (Oct 24 to Nov 21)

Ooo Scorpio, your Bumble/Hinge/Tinder is really popping off at the moment. This fortnight you will line up some dates – maybe even get lucky. Love is on the horizon for you. Unfortunately, you’ve still not mastered the subtle art of love/life balance. Your friends will start getting annoyed that you’re not spending time with them anymore. Maybe check in on them, hey.

Your new clique: Codependency.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

You’ve been getting really swole recently, Sag. All the extra time at the gym and doing at home workouts are really paying off. No really, go flex in the mirror right now. You’re manifesting muscles and crushing university. Maybe it’s time to take it to the next level. Go on, join a sports team, or enrol in a club. You might make some friends.

Your new clique: The Jocks.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

You’ve been blowing off your assignments, Capricorn. That’s not like you. But it has been a long semester, and maybe you deserve some time off going into a Youtube rabbit hole. Just be careful where you step – these conspiracy theories have been getting wild recently. Did you know that the COVID vaccine is a hallucigen?

Your new clique: Flat-earthers.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

Things have been tough lately, Aquarius. No biggie, you’ve got bigger fish to fry. Exams are coming up quickly, assignments are due, readings need to be done. It’s a good time to work on your academic career. Your friends who blew you off last week? Who needs them. It’s time to focus on what’s important.

Your new clique: The lecturer.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

I’m proud of you, Pisces. You’ve been working on yourself and it shows. Gone are the midday meltdowns in the bathrooms, and the emotional calls to your best friend on a night out. Keep going! Take care of yourself, do a face-mask, blow off your commitments. You’re in a new zone of zen, and nothing can stop you now!

Your new clique: Therapy.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Phew, coming off Aries season has you all hot and bothered. It’s been a long semester, and with the First Quarter Moon coming up, you’re feeling Angry with a capital A. You know what else A stands for? Action. It’s time to address your overwhelming rage — take a look at the people in your life. What… or who is making you feel like this? Maybe it’s time to find a new crew.

Your new clique: An underground Fight Club.
