Friends, foes , and everyone in between, welcome to this month’s trek through the stars with the April edition of The Other Astro Word! For those of you who are here for the first time, or those of you that have successfully avoided this article chain until now, this is a monthly horoscope brought to you by yours truly to lift the veil on the sky and give you a semi-accurate prognosis. Read on to see some of the significant events going on in the sky, and a little fun personal reading as well!

Monthly Update
This month brings a strong surge of energy from the sky above, as we are in eclipse season! Historically, eclipses are a momentous occasion, coinciding with significant events in humanity’s timeline and usually bringing about special significance (If you don’t believe me, just watch Avatar: The Last Airbender). Expect no exception this month, and use this time to live in the moment and move forward. April 11th brings Jupiter and the Sun together to make the “luckiest day of the year”. Plan something meaningful for this time, and use it as a springboard to propel you forward this year.

Horoscopes
This month is full of energy, yet some of it will bring energy of the nervous type, as we close out April with finals. To coincide with that, I’ll drop a little study tip geared at each sign, to maybe bring some comfort in these coming weeks.
***

Aries: Jupiter remains in your sign, so luck is on your side! Apply this to future endeavors and all the emails you need to send. Rely on your strengths, and you’ll sail through.
Study tip for Aries… Don’t just drive through all your work- study breaks are important! Take a second to sip some tea and let those brain muscles rest as you grind out your work.

Taurus: This month shows signs of duality for you. The beginning of the month has Mercury in your sign, inspiring strengths in communication, though Mercury does go retrograde at the end of the month. Pay attention to this, and play into your strengths when they’re at their best.
Study tip for Taurus… Find the perfect spot to study on campus, away from the noise and business of so many places. There are some great spots if you really search, and the location will help with your productivity for sure!

Gemini: Venus enters your sign on the 11th, and this coinciding with the luckiest day promises some luck with love. Focus on the people you care about this month, as it’s the perfect time for you to.
Study tip for Gemini… make a perfect playlist! Find the tunes that match your most productive self and jam out while you work. If heavy metal is too much, rock with some Mozart!

Cancer: Mars enters your sign in this month, pulling you out of your comfort zone and into the battle zone. It may be different being at the forefront of things, but you’ll have some luck throwing yourself at things and taking some risks.
Study tip for Cancer… the time spent not studying is just as important as the time you do. Buy some extra tea and some comfort foods, and TAKE CARE of yourself! Self-care is the cornerstone of good finals grades.

Leo: You connect deeply to the sun astrologically, and it resides in Aries, thus firing you up. This is a perfect time to practice some self-care, and smear that expensive face mask on. Focus on you this month. You deserve it.
Study tip for Leo… It may be hard to find the motivation to kick out some of your work if it seems too challenging. Try your best to chop up the work into smaller bits, and celebrate the smaller victories.

Virgo: This month brings one word to mind – patience. An avid communicator, you may see some frustrations arise when Mercury goes retrograde. Try your best to be patient with yourself as well as with those around you this month, and things will work out.
Study tip for Virgo… The best thing for you this finals season is to not try to overdo. Focus on one thing at a time, and give it your full attention.

Libra: You share a ruling planet with Taurus, and that is the planet of Love, Venus. It travels into Taurus this month, so expect some luck surrounding those you care about, and put some time into these relationships!
Study tip for Libra… Focus on the time you spend while you study. Put in enough time to get work done, but don’t forget to schedule time in for talking with family and spending time with friends as well as yourself. Use and honor your schedule.

Scorpio: This is a very solid and stable month for you. Your ruling planets are chilled out this month, so expect some peace and quiet. Expect a drive towards others as well, and momentum that gears you towards helping others and donating your time.
Study tip for Scorpio… No one will be able to help you as much as yourself when you study. Find a place to hole up, shut down and focus on your work. Focus on the location you work best, and go there.

Sagittarius: You’ll be adding fire to fire this month. Your ruling planet Jupiter resides in Aries, so expect to be amped all through April. Lean into that drive to try new things and go new places.
Study tip for Sagittarius… Don’t do too much. Make sure that when you plan out your work, it is able to be done in a day and you don’t overwork.

Capricorn: With Saturn in Pisces, you’ll feel a difference within, and potentially the feeling that you’re out of your comfort zone. Embrace that. Use this time to pay attention to your emotions and be honest with how you feel. Be open.
Study tip for Capricorn… Get a drive to study! Set goals for yourself while you work, whether it’s a grade you want of an amount of progress you want to make. Challenge yourself and your friends.

Aquarius: With Pluto hanging out in your sign still, you may feel rebellious. Pluto’s rebel vibes blend well with your search for justice, and you may feel a particular affinity towards speaking up against injustice. Whether this deals with the news or a rude customer or friend drama, you know how to stick up for yourself and others this month.
Study tip for Aquarius… You work well in a group, but it’s also important to know when you need to work by yourself. Plan study time with friends and also make sure to work alone, and sort out the work you can get done accordingly.

Pisces: This is the time to let your brain go crazy! Imagination will run rampant all through this month with your ruling planet, Neptune, in your sign. With illusion at the forefront, it may be a bit confusing and strange, but use this time to let your creativity shine.
Study tip for Pisces… Don’t procrastinate. I know, I know… it’s hard. But take a minute every, say, 15 minutes or so and plan how to continue your work. Little by little, all the way.

Welcome to March! Oh, and also your cosmic awakening. This is “The Other Astro Word”- a monthly zodiac update guaranteed to entertain, inform, and poke ya right in your third eye! I know the onslaught of midterms and drab February weather may have you looking for a positive sign. Well, I’ve got 12 of them right here, and I gotta say, it’s looking god. Read on to see what the planetary positions mean for you and your spring break outlook.

Monthly Update

As we are all well informed (and if you’re not, just ask Kaia), Pluto is not technically considered a planet right now, to the dismay of many astronomers (if you can’t find any that are upset by this, just ask Kaia). While poor little Pluto may not make much of a dent in our planetary classification in 2023, it has a MAJOR impact on the zodiac! For the first time since 2008, Pluto will leave Capricorn and enter the forward-thinking Aquarius, shifting the mindset of society for another 20-some years. Saturn also enters pisces this month, both a planet and a sign connected to endings. Expect some changes that may seem abrupt, and face this shift head on. With the double punch of Pluto and Saturn, this month is pretty pivotal from a stellar standpoint. It’s also retrograde-free however, which gives you a great opportunity to face March head-on, and carpe that diem!

Horoscopes
A month featuring a glorious, wonderful week to breathe and unwind calls for a locationthemed blurb in addition to your horoscope. If you haven’t planned your spring break
trip yet (looking at you Gemini), here’s an idea of where to go!

The perfect travel spot for Aries… Yosemite, to free solo El Capitan with no prior experience.

Taurus: This month kicks off with a very reflective vibe for you… this, paired with Jupiter and Venus in your rest sector give off a social focus for this month. Who do you want to be, and be with? Answer some of these questions with the sunrise and a cup of coffee.

The perfect travel spot for Taurus… Florence, Italy, to gaze at Botticelli and sample Chianti like you’ve always wanted to.

Gemini: This pivotal moment throws you right at the border between social and personal life. Mingle like crazy, meet new people and be active! This is another way of saying you should totally go to the physics mixer and play some board games. It’s sooooo worth it.

The perfect travel spot for Gemini… the twin cities! Get it, because of your sign? But actually, super cool city spot to spend a week.

Cancer: This is the month of planning for you, Cancer. All this pivotal change happening this month makes it a fantastic opportunity for you to look ahead to the summer and beyond, get your career ambitions in order, and buy that book you’ve always wanted.

I’m sure all of you reading missed this article deeply last month – I spent January acting on my New Year’s Resolution to stop letting some silly stars guide my every move, but the horoscopes are calling, and I must write.
For zodiac devotees and nonbelievers alike, this blurb serves as a fun rundown of what’s going on in the sky, and how it may affect you, your friends, or the Fortnite Item Shop.

Monthly Update

For those a little more astrologically inclined, you’ll know it has been ROUGH the past couple months, with the sky littered with retrogrades and overall harsh vibes. February looks to be the opposite of that, as ALL planets will be direct, or awakened. The result of this is a month perfect for new endeavors, through your professional, creative or social life. Even in the drab grey of Columbus in February, you should feel a burst of energy pushing you towards your goals. Make it count!

Hello, hello helloooooo, and welcome to “The Other Astro Word”, the first-ever, Astro Society Astrology Update! Fun fact: Astro Society actually stands for Astrology Society, and you have been mislead this whole time! (Don’t fact-check this, I swear it’s true). Whether you base your outfit on the planetary positions, or just learned your big three to impress a crush (it happens), this will serve as a fun little read to see what strings the stars are pulling, and if you’ll make it through finals…

Monthly Update

The month of December may start with some fogginess due to Neptune, planet of dreams and confusion. We also get a full moon in Gemini on the 7th of the month. The location of this full moon points at change in relationships to those close to you. Then… Venus goes retrograde! This transit late in December serves to reveal hidden issues that you may have ignored. As with all retrogrades, use this as a time to reflect and shift your focus inward. Even with the craziness of the charts, Jupiter enters Pisces right at the end of the month, and this transit signifies the return of some luck after a retrograde-packed end of 2022.

Horoscopes

DISCLAIMER: These were created on the general zodiac knowledge of an astrophysicist, and features roughly the same amount of research as simply “vibes”. It’s your life- don’t let anyone tell you what to do! Except when Natalia says to go to Greenbank, because Greenbank is unbelievably dope.

Aries: Dig into your hobbies and extracurriculars this month! Oh yeah also try not to do that thing where you get mad, and then forget why you were mad, and then get confused. You got this.

Taurus: Your direction in college is getting clearer Focus on and really learn what you love in your major, except maybe that dumb lab you have to take.

Gemini: I won’t sugarcoat it, there’s going to be points this month where you’re gonna have to hang in there. Don’t worry about that formula you forgot for your final- just draw a little cat on the problem and move forward.

Cancer: Time to focus on family and friends this December. Maybe it’s finally time to put your “free hugs” booth into action – that kid that just pulled a Thompson all-nighter might need one.

Leo: This is a big month to work with others. Collaborate, study hard, and bring some great snacks to your finals reviews. Also, Kate Bush is a Leo, FYI. Not advice, but a cool fact to tell your friends.

Virgo: Remember all that talk about change in December earlier? This is a great time for you to capitalize on this and seize the day, and I mean more than just putting all the food you own in Tupperware labelled by the date they were packaged and organized by color and portion of the food pyramid.

Libra: This month hinges on your ability to chillllllll out and go with the flow. No need to stress, you can do it!! And by “it” I mean decide on what ice cream flavor you want in less than 6 free samples.

Scorpio: You may feel some tension this month, whether that is due to continuous retrograde of Mars, or the results of your last midterm. Hang in there. Also buy that leather jacket, you totally look cool in it.

Sagittarius: For all of you December Sagittarius goofballs, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This is your time to shine- smile, and keep rockin’ on. Maybe use this time of personal strength to convince Wayne to go to Astro Society meetings. We would love him there. The stars would love him there.

Capricorn: The end of the semester may feel rough. Don’t be the all-nighter Thompson kid- take time to rest and resist the burnout. Work towards your birthday season, starting on the 21st.

Aquarius: Make a point to signify the difference from being lazy and taking time to rest. That mile-long movie list you’ve barely started on isn’t going to start itself, and the sidewalks will most likely be icy, so get that hot cocoa cookin’.

Pisces: This month will find you bouncing from friend to friend, and spending time with everyone you know. Explore new spaces, and maybe use this time to find the best place to study on the whole campus. Hint: it’s not the mustard-tinted tile walls of Smith. Sorry, nothing against the building, but maroon and pastel yellow? REALLY?!
