Welcome back to Rowan, Aries! It’s already looking like this semester, maybe even this year could be a pretty good one for you. You seem very eager to explore other ideas that can allow you to branch out in more ways than one. Just be careful not to lose sight on the long term, big picture.

Back to school time, Taurus, but that’s not your biggest concern at the moment. Right now, it’s all about being social and making connections. This weekend looks like a great way to gather with some friends, and even colleagues. This can lead to new friendships and a lot more social opportunities.

Hope you’re settling back into Rowan well, Gemini. Working alone is idealistic from you, but someone may want to help you out of the blue, but that can offer creative inspiration — let it happen. This weekend is looking to be filled with social opportunities for you, so let it take your mind off of anything that may be bothering you.

Looks like you were on your grind this summer, Cancer, because you’ve got money to blow! Use it wisely, but don’t be afraid to treat yourself! Plus, Rowan Bucks are loaded, spend that free money. If you’re around friends, spend a little on them, even if it’s just a coffee from Barnes & Noble.

The semester is beginning, Leo, and it’s OK to keep a low profile. While all your friends are out in big groups this weekend, it’s perfectly fine for you to have a cozy night in alone. However, don’t spend all your nights alone. Spend time with friends, whether it’s a one-on-one setting or a large group.

Your love life has been red hot lately, Virgo. If you’re single, now is the best time to put yourself out there and find that special someone. However, if you’re already tied down, show more love for your significant other.

It’s the start of a new semester, but it’s also your season, Virgo! Lately, you seem dead-set on an idea that you’re holding near and dear to you. However, not everyone feels the same as you, so persuade them otherwise! It might even be easier to make moves on your own, lead by example.

You’re back on campus, Scorpio, there’s more action in your social zone than ever. Mercury and Mars are looking to connect so sharing your thoughts and opinions will come easier than ever. However, make sure to know your audience when speaking your mind.

It seems work and school is already taking up all your time, Sagittarius. Although you should really be on top of your stuff, don’t burn out too soon. Take this weekend, where everyone is finally back in the ‘boro, to see some friends, have some fun. Don’t bring down the fun worrying about school, even if it’s for one night.

Even though you just got back, you already want to get out, Capricorn. Your want and need to travel is strong this week, so take a short break anyway. Take the weekend to get away, whether you’re going home or going to Philly, go somewhere. This weekend can be great for friendships, so spend time with someone you don’t always see.

A new semester with the same friends seems off to you, Aquarius. You have the urge to make new connections, which is perfectly fine. However, just because you make new friends and connections, doesn’t mean you should forget about the friends you already have. Enjoy new experiences though, you’re allowed to have some type of fresh start.
