Hello all!
Once again Autumn has come awfully quickly. Spooky season is upon us and I find myself wondering how best to navigate these next few months. As the weather gets colder, the days get shorter and the evenings a little spookier, it is imperative that we are prepared. Find your sign below to see how you can prepare for this busy season and make the most of winter.
SCORPIO:
Scorpios, it’s your time to thrive. We are entering your season. The rain might put some of your fellow signs on edge but not you. Your water signs thrive in autumn; make the most of the cold weather and embrace the coziness. Light candles, late-night journal and channel your inner witch. But as much as they embrace the solitude that winter brings, Scorpios enjoy a good romcom as much as the next star sign! So don’t be surprised if you catch them watching Love Actually when they think that no one’s watching.
LEO:
If you are a Leo then you are the hosts this winter. And if you don’t know a Leo, get to know one. All spooky and seasonal parties will be held at your Leo friend’s house. Their charismatic persona means that they make friends wherever they go so expect an abundance of the signs at their gatherings. Additionally, they don’t just throw the party but they make it. Your Leo friend won’t ever go missing at the party, as they can be found (or better yet heard) on the karaoke machine singing their favourite festive songs. Whether it’s a Halloween party, Christmas or even New Years, ensure that you get to at least one of their parties this season.
GEMINI:
You’re lucky if you can catch your Gemini friends this winter. Be quick to catch them as they might suddenly disappear from the gathering because best believe, they’re on their way to the next. Even so, their momentary appearance will be the talk of the evening as they are always best dressed. They’ll also outshine everyone as they recount their outrageous stories from their recent winter trip.
VIRGO:
A pair you can be certain to see together this winter is a Virgo and a Leo. If Leo is Father Christmas, then Virgos are their elves. Virgos are the chilled, helpful friend every Leo needs to host their legendary parties. But when they’re not helping their friends you can find a Virgo relaxing with close friends and family or enjoying a candlelit dinner with their partner.
SAGITTARIUS:
These signs cannot stay put for long. Unlike their Scorpio friends they thrive in wild adventures and shenanigans. Their love of the outdoors doesn’t stop in winter. Oh no. Trust me when I say their socials will be filled with pictures and videos of their latest trip in some far away winter wonderland that neither you nor I knew existed. Their favourite gift to give is a fridge magnet from their latest adventure (although it might be a couple of weeks late!)
CANCER:
Cancers are creative and thoughtful signs. Therefore, they thrive during the holiday season. They give the most beautiful gifts, which more often than not are handmade. But their talents don’t just stop there. They often join Leo on the karaoke or accompany them with a (much needed) piano backing track.
ARIES:
They couldn’t tell you how but nevertheless Aries end up planning the holiday events. From collecting booze for your haunted house party to cooking the Christmas dinner, when you ask an Aries for help, they deliver. These reliable signs ensure that everything is running smoothly from clearing up the broken glasses to getting their fellow signs home safe, Aries are the signs that we all need in our lives!
LIBRA:
For all their good traits, Libras cannot say NO. This becomes a slight problem during the holiday season and their inherent indecisiveness means that they commit to a abundance of social events no one could have seen coming. Your grandma’s 78th birthday is this Saturday? Libras will fit it in between their 9AM park run and their 7PM drinks with the girls. Libras move quickly, hopping from one event to the next and so you might find them with their Gemini friends a fair bit this season.
CAPRICORN:
For these workaholics the winter season is more than ever a time to prove themselves in all areas of their lives. Whilst everyone else is enjoying their warm beds these early risers have gotten more done than most of us do in a year. They see winter as a time to get ahead, whether that be working the room at their work party, or as some put it, doing a figure of eight! IF you see them chatting to their boss explaining the five stages to their ‘winter arc,’ smile to yourself, remember this article and let them be—they are in their element! (No pun intended…)
AQUARIUS:
If you know an Aquarius, then you’re in luck this winter. These thoughtful air signs only ever think of others and therefore give the best gifts. They are also great pals to watch a Christmas movie with or even to go pumpkin picking with — as long as you’re there they are too. They do hibernate in winter but much prefer to do it with friends or family.
TAURUS:
Taurus’ have deep connections with their loved ones and this becomes very clear in the winter. It is likely they will host Christmas dinner and cater to all the allergies everyone springs on them at the last minute! Use this as a reminder to tell them about your gluten allergy before the 24th!
PISCES:
Pisces tend to need a little extra TLC in the autumn. The plethora of parties and events might overwhelm them and so if you have the chance, remember to check up on these signs. Maybe bring them some homemade soup or bake a gingerbread house together. They thrive in winter so long as they are not burnt out!
I hope that this has given you some more clarity for what this season will hold and you use this advice well! Until next time friends x
