Here Are Your Back-to-School Horoscopes

From Cosmopolitan

Aries

The transition from summer-party-mode into a more scholarly frame of mind isn’t easy for your sign’s short attention span and rash nature, Aries. But luckily, the astrological energy looks pretty good for the start of the school year! Mercury, planet of intellectual thinking and communication, enters Virgo, one of the most studious signs, on September 5, making you feel like a productive genius. And on September 7, a rare grand earth trine forms from earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn all sharing harmonious, hard-working energy with each other, so accomplishing your goals will be a cinch.

Since you’ll have no problem starting the school year off with your best foot forward, you can let yourself have some fun when the sun enters Libra on September 22! Libra season is all about friendships and relationships for you, so reward yourself with some socializing and a few dates if you’ve been working hard and doing your best!

But October’s mood is less industrious, especially when Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio on October 5. When Venus is in Scorpio, a sexual and indulgent sign, all sorts of situationships tend to pop up. Why do you think October is known as “cuffing season?” Venus retrograde compels you to rethink your relationships, romantic or otherwise, and readjust them based on the obstacles thrown your way.

On October 9, Mercury enters Scorpio and your thoughts become more passionate and emotional. Tempers flare easily, so watch out for sharp words on your end, particularly when the sun enters Scorpio on October 23 and Scorpio season reaches peak-intensity. Things eventually calm down when Mercury moves to outgoing Sagittarius on October 31. Sagittarius can inspire big ideas, ambitious goals, and a thirst for knowledge. Plan out your next big project and study up with Mercury’s help here. Meanwhile, Venus retrograde in Libra has you rethinking your friendships and relationships, even if it means breaking up and parting ways with someone.

After you navigate the dark Scorpionic waters of the month of October, November’s opportunities for growth appear bright. Jupiter, planet of good luck, enters its favorite sign, Sagittarius, on November 8. You're feeling more positive and open to traveling or hands-on learning (study abroad, anyone?). A class trip or connecting with a foreign exchange student can happen, and your mind expands to an unbelievable level with this influence.

Venus ends its retrograde on November 16, on the same day Mercury begins its third retrograde this year. Relationship issues should be resolved with Venus moving through romantic Libra, but Mercury retrograde always complicates communication with others, so be mindful! The sun enters outgoing and cheerful Sagittarius on November 22, and you're fully optimistic when the sun teams up with Jupiter in Sagittarius on November 26. The good vibes of Sagittarius season are a great way to close out the beginning of first semester, and the rest of the year looks promising!

Taurus

You’re a grounded and determined earth sign, Taurus–even if you’re sad to see summer go, rest assured you’re starting the year off on the right foot! Virgo season is in full swing, and the fellow earth sign values productivity just as much as you do. When intellectual Mercury joins the sun in Virgo on September 5, you absorb knowledge with even more ease!

And on September 9, your ruling planet, Venus, enters the friendships-relationships department of your chart in Scorpio. Even if you’re shy and in a class is full of new faces, you quickly make new friends. Things only get better when Libra season starts on September 22. This is perfect for the start of the school year, because Libra occupies your chart’s section regarding duties and work. More than any other sign, you confidently blast through this semester!

October takes a more relationship-oriented twist for you, and when Venus begins its retrograde cycle on October 5, you may have a hard time juggling your friendships, relationships, and any cooperative projects on your plate. If you can complete your assignments solo and avoid group work, that's your best bet. Intense and analytical Scorpio sharpens your perception as well, so flying through class with top marks will be easier.

On October 31, Mercury enters Sagittarius and Venus retrograde enters Libra. Mercury in Sagittarius provokes a thirst for knowledge, while Venus in Libra allows you to find actual pleasure in productivity. Remember, Venus is retrograde, so in order to accomplish your tasks, you might need to work through more challenges and inconveniences than usual.

November brings one of the brightest moments of the year! On November 8, Jupiter enters its favorite sign, Sagittarius. Jupiter rules growth and abundance, and in Sagittarius, it’s at its strongest. Your long-term committed relationships grow so much from this year-long event!

In Sagittarius, your chart's zone of finances and resources is activated, so an inheritance may be coming your way. Perhaps your next student loan refund check is bigger than you expect! The rest of the month includes better relationships with peers and teachers, more productivity in class, and more money if you’re working. The start of the school year looks great for you, Taurus–your ability to get things done will be in perfect shape.

Gemini

Your sign LOVES the summer for all the social gatherings, vacations, and the freedom to chill TF out, Gemini. When class is back in session, you’re one of the most disappointed signs of all! The schedules and time-constraints imposed on you by school and homework slow your usually-upbeat lifestyle down. However, on September 7, a rare configuration called a grand earth trine occurs, where earth signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn form a special, harmonious angle. Earth signs are practical and productive, so when they team up like this, their diligent energy makes you hyper-focused on your goals, ideal for kicking off the school year.

On September 9, Venus enters Scorpio, and the sector of your chart regarding work, responsibilities, and duties is switched on. You naturally work more passionately and have an easier time comprehending the subject matter. This also improves relationships with your peers, so don’t worry about any group projects flopping! Mars enters Aquarius on September 10, funneling its fire and passion into your chart’s zone regarding studies and travel and further amping up your studying ability.

But you can take a breather when Mercury and the Sun enter Libra on September 21 and 22 (respectively) in your chart’s fun-and-romance department. It’s a more lighthearted mood that enables you to avoid your work, but try to keep up with your classes so you don’t have complications down the line.

Venus retrograde on October 5 provides challenges in getting along with others, so do what you can to stick to solo projects and endeavors. The sun enters Scorpio on October 23, refreshing your ability to stay focused, so doing your own thing isn't be an issue. And on October 31, Venus retrograde goes into Libra and Mercury advances into Sagittarius. You can invest more in your classroom friendships thanks to Mercury’s energy, but anticipate some additional stressors in your love life because of Venus retrograde’s drama.

November brings this year’s luckiest astrological event on November 8 when Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, enters your opposite sign, Sagittarius. This promises growth and good fortune in your relationships! On November 16, Venus retrograde ends and it begins its direct motion in Libra, bringing even more good luck and much-appreciated attention to your love life.

The first part of this semester begins slow and studious, but as it develops, your social connections and relationships take over! You’re the most social sign, so of course your social life takes over! Just don’t fully throw yourself into your friendships, as tempting as that may sound. The semester speeds up as it carries on, so to keep up with your work, find the balance between work and play.

Cancer

You’re a sign that’s known for being hesitant to leave your comfort zone, Cancer, so the beginning of the school year is always a period of adjustment for you. Luckily, you can enjoy the effects of the grand earth trine on September 7, which is a rare spectacle that combines the hard-working, dedicated nature of all the earth signs in a harmonious way. In your chart, it activates your department of communication, relationships, and aspirations. Your ability to teach and learn is strengthened, and you have an easier time connecting with your peers and classmates. Your productive mood combines nicely with the social atmosphere this energy provides, and accomplishing the first goals of the school year will be a breeze.

Venus enters Scorpio on September 9, which speeds up your romantic life despite the academic nature of this time of year. Try to balance schoolwork with whoever your newest crush is until the beginning-of-the-semester chaos slows down. On September 21, Mercury enters Libra, and Libra season officially begins with the sun moving into Libra on September 22. The vibe isn’t quite as social and industrious as most of this month has been; as a matter of fact, it can feel like everything around you is slowing to a stop! Friendly and intellectual air sign Libra lends a hand keeping up with your schoolwork and social life despite the sluggish tempo.

October 5 is the start of Venus retrograde, and you’re compelled to rework your romantic relationships. It gets easier to think things through on October 9, when Mercury enters intense Scorpio, giving you a more analytical thought process. Like-minded water sign Scorpio’s vibes also help you to express yourself loud and proud! If you’re taking any art classes this semester, you feel a jolt of inspiration and create beautiful pieces without a hitch. On October 23, the sun enters Scorpio and further amplifies these creative vibes, and your life speeds back up! It's a time where you can brainstorm, start new projects, and confidently share your ideas!

On October 31, Venus retrograde re-enters Libra, slowing down your romantic relationships and keeping your attention mostly on your family members and home life. You can take this time to reassess your relationships at home and how you feel about the actual space you live in-maybe a room redesign can brighten things up? The same day, Mercury enters fiery and bold Sagittarius, giving you a great drive to get sh*t done. The astrological atmosphere isn’t perfect for your social life or the romantic side of things, but the slow-moving energy in the stars helps you accomplish a lot of work and just do your own thing!

Lucky Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8, bringing additional motivation to ace even the most boring busy work. On November 16, Venus ends its retrograde and a sense of harmony in your relationships shortly follows. The end of the month has busy and productive vibes, so expect to be in the classroom or at the library most of that time. Even if you’re bored to tears, keep the bigger picture in mind and remind yourself what you’re working towards!

Leo

The fun and carefree energy of summer (and Leo season) always vibes well with you, Leo, but the start of the school year coincides with Mercury entering Virgo, a meticulous earth sign, on September 5. Mercury’s energy helps you start the year off with a cut-and-dry mindset, so you can whiz through start-of-semester assignments with ease. You also feel more productive when a rare configuration called a grand earth trine occurs on September 7. The hard-working and business-minded energy associated with all three earth signs is activated during this moment, allowing you to really get the ball rolling in academic matters!

Mercury enters Libra on September 21, and the sun follows on September 22. Libra resides over the communications zone in your chart, and this energy is great for campus life! Learning new information and helping your classmates out is easy and natural, but you could get caught up in rumors and gossip, too, if you're not careful.

The semester carries on smoothly until Venus goes retrograde on October 5. The planet of love and pleasure is in Scorpio, which presents new obstacles in the way of a pleasant domestic life. Drama in your home or dorm can hinder your performance in the classroom, so if you need to spend time studying at the library instead of in your room, go for it! It’s an introverted month with this astrological forecast, and the slowest point of this semester is around October 23, when the sun enters Scorpio. You spend a lot of time studying, working, and resting alone, without much of a need to socialize.

Focusing on your work becomes difficult on October 31 when Mercury enters Sagittarius. Explosive and fiery urges don’t help your focus and you keep finding new distractions. Venus retrograde entering Libra on the same day can deter learning opportunities by presenting you with difficulties communicating with others and creating scheduling issues.

November starts off with the luckiest astro-weather of the year when Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8. Jupiter brings growth to your romantic life and creative efforts over the next year, and generally boosts your mood. However, it may encourage you to avoid work and just laze around, so it’s important to find a balance! The sun also enters Sagittarius on November 22, which further bumps up your confidence.

September and October had great potential for productivity and learning, but November can be a challenge for your sign! Jupiter in Sagittarius enables romance, indulgence, and fun, all of which sound like fun distractions from academic stress-but the pressure only increases as the month goes on! Enjoy yourself when appropriate this month, but always allow time for schoolwork.

When the Sun and Jupiter team up in Sagittarius on November 26, a bright and lucky chance for a fun or romantic encounter can appear! If there are too many obligations that you procrastinated on, you could miss out! Keep this in mind and make sure you take care of work as it comes, and you’ll have a great semester. Good luck!

Virgo

Happy birth month, Virgo! You're a natural at the back-to-school grind, and your mental clarity is running at 100 percent on September 5, when your ruling planet, Mercury, enters your sign! Picking up information, communicating with others, and comprehending new subject matter is even more of a breeze for you. You also have an exceptionally lucky day on September 7, when your sign forms a trine with the other earth signs (Taurus and Capricorn) to generate a productive mood! You're academically unstoppable!

Perfectionist Virgo season draws to a close on September 21 when Mercury enters Libra, and the end of your time of year is on September 22, when the sun enters Libra. Starting off the semester with your sign’s hardworking energy helps you stay on top of your responsibilities, so let yourself enjoy the pleasant social vibes of Libra season now!

October 5 marks the beginning of Venus retrograde, so exercise tact and caution when communicating with your peers. It’s easy to feel like your toes are getting stepped on, and dealing with other people becomes an irritating chore. Feeling fed up with your classmates? Mercury entering Scorpio on October 9 amplifies your brainpower and your abilities to communicate, so use that to your advantage in talking out your frustrations with others.

The sun enters Scorpio on October 23, and all of the Scorpio energy of this month is incredible for doing your schoolwork. Scorpio is an intensely investigative sign that always wants to dig deeper into a subject. Your sign is equally as analytical, and you have an attention to detail and ability to comprehend complex subjects unmatched by the other signs-this combination is perfect for studying up and delivering excellent work in the academic realm.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on October 31 and Venus retrograde enters Libra on the same day. Around this time of year, the scholarly responsibilities on your plate might seem to get out of hand, and you could find yourself shutting everyone out to handle the stress. It’s okay to ask for assistance, especially since you so often help others.

November is a lucky month this year, especially when the luckiest planet, Jupiter, enters its favorite sign, Sagittarius, on November 8. This happens once every 12 years and marks this upcoming year as more fortunate than the past few. Expect your home life to improve, and for those good vibes to flow into all other aspects of your life! The sun also enters Sagittarius on November 22, and joins forces with Jupiter on November 26, creating one of the most positive and exciting astrological moments you can experience! Looks like a successful semester so far, Virgo!

Libra

For you, the end of summer is a drag. Your Libra tendencies are inclined towards socializing and relaxing-not studying and working all day! The school year starts slow, and all of the planetary activity in Virgo causes you to feel anxiety and trepidation. On September 21, however, the mood picks up when planet of communication, Mercury, enters your sign. September 22 also marks the official start of Libra season, and the astrological forecast is aligned with your energy as a result. Everyone is feeling more social and upbeat, and you have a better time in day-to-day life with enhanced confidence. Maybe now, class can finally be in session! Happy birthday Libra!

Your ruling planet, Venus, goes retrograde in Scorpio on October 5. This cycle lasts 40 days and 40 nights and is going to impact your finances and material resources the most. Is your laptop insured? It could glitch or break. Do you have all of your notes backed up on a flash drive? They could accidentally be deleted forever. That textbook you bought for $250? Make sure it doesn’t get lost. Try to also be as frugal as possible this month, because unexpected expenses can hit your wallet pretty hard if you aren’t careful!

Scorpio season begins October 23, and you find it way easier to be cautious as finances become an even bigger focus. It’s also a good time to look at your study habits and how you approach your classwork. The focus of this moment is on efficiency and working effectively, so when more and more work piles on, you handle it with ease. On October 31, Mercury enters Sagittarius and Venus retrograde goes back into your sign. Mercury in your chart’s communication zone now enhances your learning abilities. However, Venus retrograde in your sign causes uncertainty in your relationships, and could bring on a loathsome feeling of self-consciousness.

November 8 holds an exciting and lucky astrological event this year when Jupiter, planet of fortune, enters Sagittarius! In your chart, the communications sector is glowing with Jupiter’s presence for the next year, so you find yourself learning the most through conversations with others. Your ability to pick up new information with this year-long moment greatly aids your academic life, and your social connections flourish as well.

On November 16, Venus ends its retrograde motion and moves forward in your sign, bringing confidence, self-love, and a pleasant change to the self-consciousness you felt during the retrograde. Mercury goes retrograde the same day, so watch out for the communication issues and travel mishaps associated with that! A rocky start to this semester seems discouraging at first, but as you press on, you find that academic growth is right around the corner!

Scorpio

You’re not ready to get back to the classroom, Scorpio. The sun in Virgo brings a more social vibe to your sign, and the only part of school you’re looking forward to is whichever class has the most friends in it. On September 5, Mercury enters Virgo, bringing additional focus to your social networks. The energy is great for group projects, making new connections, and setting bold goals for yourself. The hardworking Virgo energy gives you the determination it takes to exceed your expectations, right off the bat!

On September 21, Mercury enters Libra, followed by the sun on September 22. The energy provided by these two planets in Libra isn’t necessarily the most fun or social. It’s difficult to focus on academic matters, too, and it’s a period characterized by uncertainty and hesitation. If you’re feeling anxious about your new school, missing home, or not knowing anyone in your class, don’t worry! This period of adjustment passes soon, and you can get back to work before you know it.

Venus goes retrograde in your sign on October 5, bringing an additional feeling of self-consciousness and loneliness, especially when it comes to finding new friends. But on October 9, Mercury enters your sign, amplifying your brainpower and sharpening your wit. This lucky moment helps you communicate efficiently and build a natural rapport with people. You excel academically by easily understanding any new material sent your way, and your mental dexterity doesn’t go unnoticed by your instructors!

When the sun enters your sign on October 23, things seem to turn around and you feel naturally more confident and enthusiastic. Scorpio season has officially begun! October 31 is the day Mercury enters Sagittarius, giving you a more matter-of-fact and practical mental approach to your work, and Venus retrograde enters Libra, which may cause feelings of isolation or lonesomeness. Socially and romantically, you could feel isolated, so working on a team or group project can provide you with satisfying interactions with others.

Expect some pleasant surprises coming your way on November 8, when lucky Jupiter enters Sagittarius, occupying your chart’s sector for material possessions, security, and wealth. An incoming refund check from your student loan provider could be way more money than anticipated, or an internship or job offer might be just around the corner, too! It’s a good year for you academically, even if October feels a bit lonely in some places. The sun moves into Sagittarius on November 22, which helps you ease into the groove of a regular schedule. If you play your cards right this year, your hard work can result in serious financial bonuses in the future.

Sagittarius

Your sign loves to travel and explore more than any other, Sagittarius, so when class is back in session, you’re brought back down to earth and it’s a huge bummer! On September 5, Mercury joins the sun in Virgo, and you’re able to quickly lay out your academic plans and goals. You start the school year blasting off towards these aspirations with the grand earth trine on September 7. The hardworking sensibilities of the earth signs are being felt harmoniously in the cosmos, and you feel motivated to tackle your beginning-of-the-semester work.

However, when Mercury enters chatty Libra on September 21 and the sun follows on September 22, the most social section of your chart is activated! This is the perfect time for networking and learning more about the various clubs, groups, and communities at your school.

October is great for working alone or leading an independent study. Venus in Scorpio goes retrograde on October 5, and shortly afterwards Mercury enters Scorpio on October 9. In your chart, Scorpio represents your inner mind, subconscious thoughts, and feelings of isolation, so any planetary movement there is felt deep within and is hard to express.

To further complicate matters, the sun moves into Scorpio on October 23, and you have so much going on internally that you can't be nearly as outgoing and expressive as you usually are! This is a great time to sort out internal issues. Thinking about adding or dropping a class? Changing your major? October is a good month for you to think everything over. You’re a sign famous for being loud and speaking your mind, but this brief quiet spell can show you the importance of listening!

October 31 brings the most exciting news of the month when Mercury enters your sign. The drama occurring in Scorpio has been mentally and emotionally overwhelming, but with Mercury in your sign now, you’re able to enjoy some clarity of mind. Venus retrograde enters Libra on Halloween, too, and you feel the effects of it most when rethinking your place in the community. Is your current school right for you? Is the clique you’re in one you'll want to be a part of in the future? All of the information you absorbed during your quiet, receptive mood will effect the vision you have for your future, and it’s up to you to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you to accomplish your goals.

The biggest astrological event of the season, if not the year, happens on November 8. Your sign’s favorite planet, Jupiter, symbolizes generosity, expansion, and abundance. It moves into your sign and marks the beginning of a year filled with good fortune! A desire to expand your horizons encourages you to spend the next year adventuring new interests, hobbies, and fields of study. Perhaps transferring schools is in the cards for you, or even switching majors can happen as a result of the experimentation brought on by Jupiter in your sign.

Come November 22, the sun is in your sign and it’s officially Sagittarius season! Happy birthday! The next few months are busy and you ask yourself a lot of questions and potentially make some major decisions. With Jupiter in your sign now, the heat is just now cranking up, so get ready for a school year full of explosive growth.

Capricorn

Mercury joins the sun in fellow earth sign Virgo on September 5, creating a productive and detail-oriented mindset harmonious with all of your Capricorn sensibilities. Getting right down to business occurs without a hitch this school year, especially on September 7, when the planets align in a grand earth trine. Take advantage of the astrological environment as it inspires your ability to concentrate on the tasks at hand and make sure your work is perfect.

When Venus enters Scorpio on September 9, your chart’s zone dedicated to networking and social groups is activated, so any group projects or opportunities to connect with others via school clubs are successful this month. In your chart, Libra is the sign occupying the zone of accomplishments, public image, and career, so when Mercury moves into it on September 21 and the sun on September 22, your attitude is oriented towards accomplishing goals first and everything else second. Don’t burn out during the first month of school, though! There’s a lot more coming up before the semester ends.

October can start off with you rearranging your schedule once Venus goes retrograde on October 5. Issues getting along with your peers might inspire you to leave a group or drop a class. On October 9, Mercury enters Scorpio and gives you a sharper, more analytical stance on your social life. You’re more perceptive of the kinds of cliques exist in your school environment, and opportunities come up for you to pick one to join. Whether you decide to be a part of any particular group or not, teamwork becomes a focus when the sun moves into Scorpio on October 23. Group projects might be the theme of this period of time, or you might be more heavily involved in campus activities.

Venus retrograde enters Libra on October 31, bringing up difficulties with your reputation and how others feel about you. Confusion around what your academic and professional goals actually are can be annoying, and you have a hard time getting the approval you want. Also, on Halloween, Mercury enters Sagittarius, marking the start of an isolated and lonely mood where you’re more introspective and receptive than usual.

On November 8, Jupiter enters Sagittarius, signifying a period of vast internal growth over the next year. The quiet and introverted mood you’ve been in continues, but the information you absorb and the thoughts you contemplate lead to a more in-depth understanding of yourself. On November 16, Venus stops its retrograde motion in Libra and the period of internal confusion and struggles come to an end. As Sagittarius season carries on, you’re in a similar contemplative thought, but by the end of the semester, your goals are redefined and your hopes for the future are set in stone. You’re the hardest-working and most dedicated sign-without a doubt, you succeed in your academic endeavors and shock everyone (even yourself!) with how well you do this semester.

Aquarius

Hopefully your summer was relaxing, Aquarius, because this semester has a lot going on for you! Virgo season is in full swing this September, with the most activity occupying your chart’s sector of transformation and intensity. As a fixed sign, you don’t like sudden changes, and transitioning from summer vacation to being locked inside of a classroom is definitely not your vibe! Luckily, harmonious energy with Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn (the three earth signs) form what’s known as a grand earth trine on September 7. This rare configuration helps soften the disruption.

On September 10, fiery Mars enters your sign and lends its passion and energy to you, so you can easily find motivation and drive to succeed in your academic endeavors. Mercury enters Libra on September 21, followed by the sun on September 22, indicating a more open-minded and optimistic attitude once the school year starts moving along. A thirst for knowledge and a desire to get hands-on experience accompanies this astrological forecast, so if any opportunities to travel for class come up, take advantage of them!

Venus retrograde on October 5 highlights your dissatisfaction with your reputation. You feel unnoticed in your accomplishments, and when Mercury enters Scorpio on October 9, you find yourself unable to think about anything except your achievements, or lack thereof. Focusing on your shortcomings won’t do you any good-do what you can to redefine your goals or make a solid plan to reach them instead. Change your major, add another class onto your schedule, or look into transferring schools-whatever it takes! When the sun enters Scorpio on October 23, you find it easier to solidify your plans. Getting noticed by instructors and other authority figures happens, especially around October 31 when Mercury enters Sagittarius. Your chart's zone regarding socializing and networking is activated, so you can find success in team projects and working with others.

November brings tons of luck to your social circles when Jupiter, planet of abundance, enters Sagittarius on November 8. It provides incredible networking opportunities, a surprising change to your friend group, and a lot of the positive growth during the next year. As November carries on, this section of your chart receives more action and energy, especially when the sun enters Sagittarius on November 22. The trepidation you felt entering the school year gets replaced by an urge to work harder and achieve more. By tweaking your goals and putting your best foot forward, you have an amazing chance at success and you’ll make plenty of great connections along the way this year.

Pisces

The end of summer was all about socializing, Pisces, and it’ll be hard for you to get into work mode. On September 5, Mercury joins the sun in Virgo, your opposite sign, highlighting interpersonal interactions and making it even easier to make new friends. Try to remember that class is to learn, not socialize. A grand earth trine (harmonious energy between planets in the earth signs) occurs on September 7 and brings a practical, devoted, and work-oriented mindset to the astrological forecast, helping you focus more on studying.

Venus enters like-minded water sign Scorpio on September 9, and with it comes an attraction to different cultures, spiritualities, and a thirst for knowledge! Make sure you’re signed up for a history or religion class this semester, because you can find a lot of fascinating information and deep interest in the subject matter.

On September 21, Mercury enters Libra, followed by the sun on September 22. This occurs in a sector of your chart that is very emotional and intense, and you find yourself feeling much more touchy than normal-which is saying a lot, since you’re the most sensitive of the signs. Essentially, the end of this month brings heightened emotions that could instigate transformation. A sudden, passionate interest in a new subject could occur, resulting in drastic changes in your ideas regarding education.

Venus in Scorpio goes retrograde on October 5, indicating a time where you need to rework and rethink your long-term goals. Unrealistic or outdated expectations seem to come crashing down around you, and you’re urged to focus on more grounded ambitions. Maybe you no longer like your major. Maybe you need take a break, and wait a bit before going back to school. Mercury entering Scorpio on October 9 helps you adopt an optimistic mood and an open mindset capable of resolving these issues. You’re willing to accept new ideas and feel encouraged to chase your new dreams. The sun entering Scorpio on October 23 helps you to work towards this new cause. When Mercury enters Sagittarius on October 31, you can focus on the direction you’re headed in after all this hard work.

Jupiter entering Sagittarius on November 8 is one of the luckiest events in the constellations this year, especially for you. The zone of your chart dedicated to your career, goals, and public image are illuminated now by Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. Jupiter stays here for the next year, indicating a period of substantial growth in your professional and academic life. An internship, entry-level job, or a class you take just for the credits could unexpectedly transform into your dream career. Whether your goals stay the same this semester or your entire four-year plan is thrown out the door, this year holds a lot of change and is a transitionary moment for you. With solid plans, you can bravely proceed forward and find success in your chosen field, and even if you’re unsure of your goals at the end of the day, the opportunities for growth and education are endless with your astrological forecast.
