Your confidence might be shaking, and some tears may have been shed, but power through those last-minute projects, and you will be just fine. Read something light and fun during your free time.

Gemini (May 22 – Jun 21) ♊

Your social life seems to get in the way of your studies, and there are some big decisions you are running away from. Try shaking things up, break up the monotony and find a way to finish your studies while still having a good time.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) ♏
