Capricorn
Things may seem a bit unstable right now, but that can be balanced with a good laugh. A positive outlook and some humor are all you need to get through the week. Surround yourself with friends that ground and support you.
Aquarius
Imposter syndrome and anxiety are your biggest battles during finals week. This is a great time to clear your mind and limit any outside distractions. However, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Any obstacle you tackle will be met with glowing praise.
Pisces
Things can get complicated this week, but no need to worry. As long as you finish the projects that you start, you’re destined for success. Find ways to recharge and focus on those assignments — and then you have more time to enjoy your beauty sleep.
Aries
Good news: you can look forward to many academic achievements and breakthroughs this week. When you have a brilliant idea, don’t be afraid to run with it. But remember to look after your own needs and stick to a schedule to stay productive and maximize success.
Taurus
As much as you don’t like being told what to do, remember to double-check those assignment sheets to make sure you’re staying on track. Be receptive to critique and ask friends and peers about your work — they may have a great perspective that will make your project so much better.
Gemini
Expect an influx of energy this week. It could be creativity or anxiety, but naturally, you’ll go with the flow. Being active is a great way to keep yourself clear-headed and allows for the flow of new ideas.
Cancer
This is a great time to focus on yourself and reflect for a while. Recenter and turn inward to discover what you’re really looking to get out of your projects. But also remember to give yourself a break and not take anything too seriously.
Leo
As much as you love yourself, you might have to learn to love your finals a bit more this week. Have fun but not too much fun, as you might be tempted to put your academics on the back burner.
Virgo
You’re filled with great ambition this week, but that may mean you won’t know where to start. Make a to-do list if you find yourself wanting to tackle everything at once.
Libra
You may feel like you’re stuck in the everyday grind of life right now, but feel free to venture out and do something out of the ordinary. Go be the socialite you are and study with friends or in a new place to mix up the routine.
Scorpio
This week might start off a bit rocky, but rest assured, everything will eventually balance out. No need to be alarmed — lean into change because you’re more than capable of taking it on.
Sagittarius
Perseverance and sticking to a plan is the key to getting through the week (even if they’re not the things you’d like to hear). Now is a great time to try new things even if it’s awkward, but keep the habits that are working for you.
