Your September Horoscopes Are Here!

The stars can reveal a lot about your personality, love life, and future. But did you know they can also guide you towards amazing, impactful social change campaigns that are exactly right for you? Whether you’re a passionate Aries or a gentle Pisces, there’s the perfect action for everyone. Read on for your September volunteer horoscopes!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

We’re probably not the first to tell you that you’ve got a lot on your plate, Aries. And of course you do, considering the cardinal nature of your sign. You’re quick to start new and ambitious projects, and your enthusiasm will get any group behind your ideas. But it’s time to focus on following through on those plans, so this month, try to set goals that you know you can achieve.

Here’s an achievable, high-impact action: answer two anonymous questions about student debt to compel companies to do something about the student debt crisis.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

As an earth sign, you definitely lean towards the practical, Taurus. Your voice of reason is needed when ideas get a little too half-baked, and you can be counted on to keep things on track. You’ve surely spent the summer working responsibly towards your goals, so now’s the time to embrace the absurd. What’s the worst that could happen?

Get a little silly (and do some good while you’re at it) by pranking your friends with a meat-free barbecue to improve the planet.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You really aren’t one to dwell on the past, Gemini. And that’s useful in a lot of ways, but moving quickly from one thing to the next doesn’t always leave you time to reflect on what’s already been done. This month, spend a little time looking into the past -- you might just find something you didn’t see before.

Uncover histories your textbook doesn’t want you to know. Make bookmarks to teach the truth about missing figures and events in history.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Excuse the crab pun, Cancer, but we’d like to warn you against sidestepping a little too much this month. It can be intimidating to ask for the things that you want, but sometimes the best approach is the most direct. Go after your goals this month with confidence, and you’ll be surprised by how well others respond.

Say it loud and clear: post flyers (and ask your teachers to do the same) to demand your school be a safe space for LGBTQ+ students.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

If there’s something you want to do, you’re probably doing it solo, Leo. You’re known for your independence, and you’re always blazing new paths. As much as you can achieve alone, there are plenty of folks eager to help you along the way. Don’t be afraid to be a part of a team to get things done better, faster, or with a little more fun.

Give props to those who’ve helped you get where you are. Thank your former school counselor with a collage of pics from you and your friends on your college campuses.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

This is your chance to shine, Virgo! With your season underway, it’s the perfect time to get everyone whipped into shape -- don’t be surprised if your friends look to you to help them get their lives together this month. As a notorious fan of organization and goal-setting, it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for you.

While you’re at it, rally your friends to pick up at least 10 pieces of trash, making spaces greener and cleaner in the process.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

We’ve got to hand it to you, Libra. You’re truly a master of diplomacy. Somehow you manage to talk through even the trickiest of debates without coming off as impolite or argumentative. It’s a skill that not everyone has, so put it to good use in situations where opposing sides desperately need compromise.

Use your communication skills to tweet students' opinions at your local school board and make sure your voices are heard!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

In a word, we would describe you as unafraid, Scorpio. You’re good at really getting to the bottom of things, and you’re not scared of making a few waves in the process. We can count on you to fearlessly fight for injustice and call things as they are -- keep that energy going this month even when others are silent.

Call out inaccessible locations on your campus with stop signs, and then turn them into petitions to demand accessible spaces for everyone.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Nothing gets you going quite like a new adventure, Sagittarius. And things don’t have to slow down just because the summer’s over! Of course, doing things for the sake of doing them may not be the best use of your time. This fall, try using your hunger for action to volunteer towards causes that matter to you.

Kick off your fall volunteering with a back-to-school backpack drive in your neighborhood.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

The fall usually comes with more structure than the summer, and that’s good news for Capricorns who thrive on order. But the fall also brings change, which might not be as easy to navigate. Don’t let stress get in the way of enjoying your new experiences. Remember to take a breath and focus on what’s in front of you.

Battle back-to-school stress by sharing a selfie and tips for dealing with stress.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius, you’re quick to point out where systems should be improved or where progress can be made, and creativity comes easily to you. Your new ideas are especially needed when no one else is trying to fix these issues. To make the most impact, seek out the places and people that need an advocate.

Bring representation to groups who are less likely to pursue STEM careers. Hang a flyer for an original STEM superhero to (super)empower younger students’ love for STEM.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

To quote a famous Pisces: we are who we are. (That’s Kesha, who is perhaps the quintessential Pisces.) As a water sign, Pisces are known for being exceptionally emotional, and sometimes that means feeling misunderstood. Rather than retreating, express yourself fully and authentically, and the folks who understand you will come along soon enough.

Help make the internet a kinder place for everyone to express themselves. Report bullying accounts on social media.
