We hope your Scorpio season was sizzlin', but it's time to let all that intensity go with the arrival of Sagittarius season! Read on to learn all about this amazing sign and to find out our top book picks inspired by Sagittarius!

Sagittarius is a fire sign- bold, loud, full of energy and enthusiasm, and straight up always having a good time. Yes, Sagittarians' most defining trait is their lust for life. Traveling the world is their greatest passion, as their curiosity knows no bounds! Intellectualism is another key value for them, and they are always on the pursuit of truth and knowledge. They are highly philosophical, and they need their freedom to explore everything they possibly can, whether that be themselves or other people. Sagittarians are also highly independent and care-free. One might say they're "just out here vibin'." Sagittarians see no use for lying- their candid and genuine nature leads them to be honest, bordering on blunt at times.  The combination of their  intellect and  candidness is the perfect mix for clever humor. Sagittarians are hilarious people- some of the funniest out of the whole zodiac, and they're the one out of the friend group who not only shares memes, but meticulously crafts them themselves. Sagittarius is your "no BS," super funny, cool aunt who travels the world. It's her life, and we're just living in it.

Traits: Optimistic, generous, funny, intellectual, philosophical, adventurous, independent, enthusiastic, candid, bold, honest, confident

We hope everyone's Libra season was light and sociable, because this next month is all about our secretive side. Welcome to Scorpio season! 

Where to begin with Scorpios? Although that this is one of the most disliked signs of the entire zodiac, they're also one of the most misunderstood. To start, contrary to popular belief, Scorpio is a water sign. That's right, as in, NOT a fire sign, although this misconception is understandable, considering the passion and intensity that defines Scorpios. When we think of the other two water signs that we've covered in this series, we think of soft and sensitive souls who are deeply emotional and have an aura of gentle sadness. Scorpios are also highly emotional, but they express it quite differently than Cancer and Pisces. Scorpios present themselves as emotionally bulletproof. They come across as confident and secure people who never let their guards down, and never show vulnerability. Despite the face that they show to the world, deep down, Scorpios have incredibly sensitive hearts. As a water sign, they feel all emotions very deeply, and they must guard their hearts with a shield. There are only a few carefully selected people who can break through this shield and see them for who they truly are. To elaborate... Scorpios have trust issues. They are highly secretive, especially about themselves. If they share a secret with you, just know that you mean a lot to them, and they trust you with the world. Whatever you do, do not break their trust! Scorpios are vengeful when betrayed, and they will never let you forget! If there's a theme that you should be noticing by now, it's that Scorpios think exclusively in black and white. Their minds work in extremes, and they are the most all or nothing people you will ever meet. They are highly intelligent and clever, and are at least 3 steps ahead of you at all times. Despite all of these intense qualities, don't be intimidated by Scorpios! In love and friendships, they are incredibly sacrificing and devoted for life. They are brave, unconditionally loyal, and will always be honest with you. 

Dates: October 23rd- November 21st
Symbol: The Scorpion
Element: Water
Traits: Intense, passionate, determined, focused, brave, loyal, ambitious, authentic, secretive, defensive
Famous Scorpios: Drake, Katy Perry, Kendall Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Josh Peck, Gordon Ramsey, Bob Ross, Willow Smith, Ryan Reynolds


In true Scorpio fashion, we've barely scratched the surface of their souls. Their depths are dark, but shimmering and limitless. Learning about Scorpios is an entire journey itself, and we encourage you to look more into this sign! Click here and here for more information!

We hope your Virgo season was exceptionally productive and efficient, but it's time to tune in to our softer sides because today is the first day of Libra season! Keep reading to learn all about this sign and to see our Libra inspired booklist!

Libra is an air sign which is represented by the scales. Homegirls are all about balance. Peace, justice, and harmony are basically their M.O.s. These important principles manifest themselves in many different ways. One way is the fact that Libras are total sweethearts! They are kind and friendly, and treat everyone with respect. They're genuinely just nice people, though they can sometimes get the opposite reputation. They simply have a strong desire to make sure everyone around them is happy.  They avoid confrontation at all costs and are committed to keeping the peace. As an air sign, Libras duality is inescapable (like each side of a scale!), and can often be noted as being completely indecisive. Where do they want to eat for dinner? Wherever you want to eat is fine! If you're really looking for answer, check back in 4-8 business days! All jokes aside, Libras are just so fair minded that they see every situation from every possible side. Nothing is black and white to a Libra. Libras also are in love with love. This sign values relationships and partnerships to the nth degree and are so romantic that if we went into any more detail, earth and air signs would probably puke. On the same note, Libras are obsessed with all things beautiful and are #aestheticgoals. All in all, Libras are super cute, sweet, and kind people who everyone needs in their life!

Dates: September 23rd- October 22nd
Symbol: The Scales
Element: Air
Traits: Charming, peaceful, fair, harmonious, kind, gentle, romantic, diplomatic, indecisive, lovers of beauty
Quote: "Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised." -Michael Scott, The Office
Famous Libras: Zac Efron, Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Eminem, Noah Schnapp, Bruno Mars, Bella Thorne, Will Smith, 21 Savage, Snoop Dogg
​

Sorry Leos, but it's time for a new sign to shine! Welcome to Virgo season- the time of year that helps back to school season seem slightly less brutal. Read on to learn more about this sign and to take a peek at our Virgo inspired booklist!

Virgo is an earth sign, and the definition of down to earth. Virgos are extremely practical, sensible, rational, and approach everything logically rather than emotionally. Because of this, they're great friends to seek out when you need advice! On the flip side, their lack of emotional expression can give them the reputation of being cold, which definitely is not always the case! Often times Virgos view emotions as distractions from their goals. Oh yeah, by the way, Virgos are HIGHLY ambitious. Like, on another level. Their lives revolve around being the absolute best they can be and achieving all of their impressive goals. This lends itself to being organized, studious, capable, intelligent, and generally just ON. TOP. OF. IT. Unfortunately, this can lead them to become very self critical and fastidious. They simultaneously think that they're the best and worst, and no one escapes Virgos' hard to please nature, especially themselves. We admire Virgos for their intense dedication and want them to learn to appreciate themselves like everyone else does! Virgos are hella witty and funny, and are quick and clever with their humor! They're reliable and helpful friends who will never ever leave your side! They're hardworking problem solvers who would be AMAZING team mates in an escape room (just saying)! Although they're probably rolling their eyes at every grammatical error and use of slang in this post, we love you, Virgos!

Virgo 101:

Dates: August 23rd- September 22nd

How was everyone's Cancer seas- Okay let's skip the non-Leo content, because it's FINALLY Leo season!!! Leo season is the absolute elite time of the entire year, because Leos are the best zodiac sign of all!- According to themselves. Because Leo's LOVE being Leos. And honestly, for being one of the most stigmatized signs, there's a lot to love about this bunch! Read on to learn all about this sign and to check out our booklist inspired by Leo!

Leo is a fire sign that shines as bright as the sun, literally. Their ruling "planet" is the sun, which makes them fiery, passionate, and it also makes them believe that the world revolves around them. They're not too far off though, because everyone needs a solid Leo in their life! Leos are represented by the lion, and have every right to be prideful of themselves! They make AMAZING friends, as they will support the ones they love no matter what, with their optimistic outlook on life and cheerful, warmhearted spirit. They tend to be quite popular because of this, and are always the life of the party. They love to have fun and of course, take plenty of selfies while they're doing it. Leos are often considered "vain," but perhaps that's just because the rest of the world is jealous of Leo's admirable self-love capabilities.  This sign is all about self expression, as Leos are known to be very creative! You will likely find that a Leo isn't afraid to rock daring #ootds and experiment with all different styles of makeup. Leo's creativity may also manifest itself in areas such as acting, singing, dancing, or simply a passion for all things art.

All in all, Leos likely make up some of the best people you know, and we promise, a Leo isn't sponsoring this post. (Although we wouldn't put it past them!)

We hope everyone had an intellectually stimulating Gemini season, but get ready to experience your emotional side this month with Cancer season! The sun is currently passing through the constellation of Cancer, which means that we're all about to get into our feels. 

To put it simply, Cancers are soft bois™, and Cancer season is essentially sad guy hours. As a water sign, Cancers are highly emotional, sensitive and ~deep~. They are very in tune with the emotions of others, and are often empaths. They can get the reputation of being moody, but that's because they feel so many things, so deeply, all at once! Cancers can sometimes seem cold upon first impression, but it's mostly because they put up a front to protect their sensitive little hearts! Think Post Malone! Cancers are huge lovers and value relationships above most! Love and family are EVERYTHING, and their loyalty and compassion for their loved ones is intense and all encompassing. There's a maternal aura about Cancers in everything that they do; they're often noted as the "mom friend" of the friend group! They're incredibly nurturing and supportive, and all they want to do is provide for and protect the ones they love. Everyone needs a Cancer in their life! In their free time, you can usually find this sign at home, crying over heartbreaking movies or ASPCA commercials, eating copious amounts of food, and wrapped up in a million blankets with their boo.

Gemini is an air sign, known for excelling in communication and intellect! ​They're social butterflies, and as curious as cats. Despite this, they're represented by Twins. They seem to be always searching for their other half, whether it be in relationships, friendship, or any other sort of companionship! Geminis are known to have two sides to them, and represent duality in all forms. They're often referred to as the chameleons of the zodiac, as they are a versatile bunch who can adapt the vibes of those around them and blend in when they choose. When they're doing their own thing, they're fun-loving and extroverted, and make good friends to have- just remember to keep them entertained!

We hope you had a great Aquarius season and learned something new about this quirky sign, but it's time for us to introduce you to Pisces! 
​
Pisces is the twelfth sign of the zodiac, and it is also the final sign in the zodiacal cycle. Hence, this sign brings together many of the characteristics of the eleven signs that have come before it. Pisces, however, are happiest keeping many of these qualities under wraps. These folks are selfless, spiritual, and very focused on their inner journey.
They also place great weight on what they are feeling. Yes, feelings define the Pisces zodiac sign, and it’s not uncommon for them to feel their own burdens (and joys) as well as those of others. The intuition of the Pisces-born is highly evolved. Many people associate Pisces with dreams and secrets, and it’s a fair association, since those born under this sign feel comfortable in an illusory world. (Source)

Dates: February 19th-March 20th
Symbol: Fish
Element: Water
Colors: Seafoam green, shades of blue, lavender
Traits: Dreamy, intuitive, empathic, sensitive, emotional, understanding, wise, compassionate, imaginative, mysterious, magical, impressionable, artistic

We've chosen some books that are inspired by Pisceans' love for fantasy and magic, their intense emotions, and just how darn sweet and compassionate they are! If you're a Pisces, these books are perfect for you! If you're not a Pisces, these books are awesome anyways, and will help you to get to know this sign!

Dreamology- Lucy Keating​
The Siren- Kiera Cass
​The Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen Chbosky
Tiger Lily- Jodi Lynn Anderson
Anne of Green Gables- L. M. Montgomery
When the Moon was Ours- Anna-Marie McLemore
