As the weather starts to take a turn for the better (hopefully), it opens up endless possibilities for some fun spring outings. You can finally stop doom-scrolling on your phone for another three hours while procrastinating on homework you know you’ll never get done! And you can go out into the world without seeing your friends having a coughing fit beside you.
As your trusty advisor who can read the stars, I promise that spring 2025 will be the perfect storm before your long-awaited summer vacation.
Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19th)
Knowing you and your meticulous goal-oriented planning, you’ve probably already planned for the next FIVE spring seasons… but if not, that’s what I’m here for! Go out and touch grass for the first time in half a year. I promise it’ll be worth it! Maybe a long, itinerary-based (obviously) camping trip in the Pacific Northwest wilderness will finally clear your mind and dispel your worries after a school year of projects, tests, and assignments.
Aquarius (January 20th to February 18th)
Happy spring, my unconventional and quirky friends! As the clouds part to reveal the star-flecked night sky, maybe you’ll finally be able to enjoy that warm night under the stars, wrapped up in a thick blanket as the constellations dance above you. After all, there’s nothing that a peaceful night of solitude and reflection can’t do for your mental health!
Pisces (February 19th to March 20th)
For all you hopeless romantics out there, I truly hope you had a happy Valentine’s Day. If you have a romantic partner, you’ll have no trouble showing your love to them; there’s nothing like a Lakeside picnic (for Lakeside lovers) or a brisk stroll on the beach on a sunny spring day. If you’re still a single pringle, keep searching because your next spring fling is just one step away.
Aries (March 21st to April 19th)
Put on your floral gowns and checkered flannels because spring is here! What does that mean? Oh, you know, just a whole season of new items hanging from every rack at Bellevue Square Mall! After this first spring quarter ends, it’s high time to splurge and shop ‘til you drop! You know the drill; it never hurts to invest in yourself… even at the expense of your wallet.
Taurus (April 20th to May 20th)
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out… unless you have pollen allergies, of course. I’m sure you’ve been dying to go outside and watch the cherry blossoms bloom. So, as the final piles of slush melt away in the spring sun, go visit your local park. It might be in need of some cleaning or weeding, but that’s okay… anything to make your new hangout spot as spotless as possible!
Gemini (May 21st to June 20nd)
Planning in advance for you is never a good idea. Your spontaneity paired with your boundless energy makes your place in the stars completely unpredictable… even for a seasoned veteran like me. Don’t worry, not all is lost; look outside the window and pray for a nice day, and if you feel like it, why not drag your friends along? Your next adventure awaits you.
Cancer (June 21st to July 22nd)
Before you say it, I know what you’re thinking: you want to stay indoors because there’s too much pollen, the air’s too humid, the sun isn’t bright enough, or whatever excuse your inner couch potato can conjure up. I’m not going to go as far as shove you out of your house, but try to embrace the spring spirit in the comfort of your own home. Whether it’s doing a little home refresh, baking for loved ones, or making a healthy bowl of berries (they’re in season!), remember to do it after turning off the heater and cranking up the AC… you’re really going to need it!
Leo (July 23rd to August 22nd)
After months of shivering and locking yourself in your bedroom with fifty layers of blankets, now is the perfect time for a fun event to boost your confidence and spice up your life. For all you Swifties out there — yes, the Eras Tour ended, but there’s a whole pool of other artists who might drop into town when you least expect it. So, be on the lookout, because you might just stumble upon the best night of your high school life. Not feeling a concert? That’s okay. There will be plenty of hit spring singles from your favorite artists, and they’ll get you into the perfect mood for your next spring obsession.
Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd)
Come on, it’s springtime: prime time to come out of your shell and have a little fun. Don’t lock yourself in a room and pull a week of all-nighters to get a perfect score on some trivial project. It’s time to loosen up and be yourself! Go touch some grass or do anything that’ll get you out of that crusty Moore building. Honestly, just a few minutes of outdoor meditation on a dewy spring morning will make you a whole new person.
Libra (September 23rd to October 22nd)
Once again, we have another soul who loves the outdoors. I hope you know how to row or kayak because there’s nothing better than a boat ride with your partner, watching the sun beyond the horizon… ah, what a fitting fairy-tale ending for a hopeless romantic. Just remember to bring the life jackets just in case you capsize!
Scorpio (October 23rd to November 21st)
While everyone else is out stargazing or taking a leisurely stroll, you will be fulfilling your long-stifled need for adventure. From camping in a mysterious location to exploring caves and haunted trails, the possibilities are endless. Spring is the right time to step outside of your comfort zone and chase after your intrusive thoughts.
Sagittarius (November 22nd to December 21st)
Last but not least is the free-spirited and curious Sagittarius. Naturally, adventure is almost always up your alley too! Try taking a step into the unknown by planning a hiking or backpacking trip in the mountains — the more challenging the better! Be free and push your limits… but that doesn’t mean you should put yourself in danger.
Whew, that took a really long time. Staying up until midnight and staring up at the night sky in thirty-degree winter is only worth it if you can truly enjoy your 2025 Lakeside springtime. And if you don’t enjoy any of the activities I’ve listed above, that’s okay! I’m only human, so if your fate was hidden behind an annoying cloud, my non-existent X-Ray vision would not have caught your drift. Always feel free to branch out and do your own thing!
P.S.: Zyrtec is the best allergy medicine… the constellations told me so.
