Your Audiobook Horoscope for the Spring Equinox

Happy Astro New Year! Aries season and the Spring Equinox means the whole astrological calendar has started once again–if you need to, dust off those intentions from January, and treat this time of renewal as a secondary new year.

The winter darkness is brightening, and the arrival of spring brings the warm fuzzies of seasonal dreams. Personally, my seasonal dreams look something like driving around the desert with the windows down, blaring something from the 70s, and wearing overalls, but to each their own.

While you ponder your own tulip-tinted dreams, press play on an audiobook selected especially for your zodiac sign based on what the stars have cooked up for you.

ARIES

Happy birthday, you fire-y minx! You are getting ready to burst out of a beautiful present box like a ready-to-party Jack in the Box. You’re no stranger to being star of the show, but right now you’re giving centerstage Broadway diva. Go ahead, but use it for good, Patti LuPone.

TAURUS

Picture this: taking a nap in a sun soaked field, flowers in your antlers, a light breeze blowing. You need time to restore and rejuvenate, and the perfect way to do that is spending some time outdoors. Be as active or inactive as you wish.

GEMINI

This season, you’re all about community and friendship, wee gemstone. You’ll be finding that you’re connecting with people really easily. Take advantage of that and be the planner: bring people together, bring people snacks, you’re the great uniting magnet.

CANCER

It is no surprise that you love hard. You just can’t help but clamping your claws a little every time someone cool comes around. And you know what: I get it. Spring is dreamy. Tulips and sun patches and the return of beverages ending in “spritz”. Try to be cool, and your claw clasp will look more like holding hands to your crush.

LEO

Spring means sun, and as we all know, you are the resident solar power of the zodiac. It’s time for you to pull a Sagittarius, kitty cat: book yourself a getaway. Pick your destination: a new city to bop around in? A hike? A silent retreat (as if)? Think only to remember where your suitcase is, then just do.

VIRGO

Beyond Virgo season (cue Beyoncé) the spring equinox is a time of year that gives you a little thrill. Open all the windows, pop on your new favorite book, and settle in for comfort from day to night. Day: Renewal! Spring Cleaning! A home that smells like lemon and cotton breeze! Night: opening a crisp zesty beverage, and making your favorite homecooked meal.

LIBRA

Your little scale-y (note: not scaly) self loooves an equinox. Balance is the name of your game, baby. Use this moment to have a little celebration: have a snuggly spring evening dinner party or invite some buddies to the botanic garden. Your friends will love that you’re taking initiative for hangouts AND that said hangouts are fun and thematic.

SCORPIO

Time to shake off the snow dust of winter, scorpy. You’ll wanna get the ole bones a-moving…pick your spring activity! Go with something that sounds more intriguing than usual: goat yoga, Pilates in a ceramics studio, running around with puppies. Movement for movement’s sake? Fantastico.

SAGITTARIUS

The theme of your spring: color, color, color. Buy a new lime green shirt, paint your walls yellow, only eat foods that are vibrant colors. You personality is feeling colorful too: you’re citrus zesty! You’re glitteringly outgoing! Your aura is rainbow, pony pants.

Spring is all about rebirth and renewal, and you’re about to be born right into a new hobby. Flower arranging, rug tufting, vintage cookbook collecting…the world is your niche hobby oyster. Newness for you-ness is the theme of the season.

You’re always a dreamy mystery, Aquaphor, but you’ve especially got it going on right now. Do you have a project you’ve been holding in the back of your mind? Something you want to put in the world but it hasn’t seemed like the right time? This intriguing energy you’re putting out will attract just the right collaborator for your brain baby.

PISCES

I’ll just say it flat out: you’re about to come into some cash. I’m not clear how, but perhaps a bonus at work? A gift from a generous benefactor? Finding $5 in the park? Use your findings/winnings to get yourself a treat, and don’t forget to share the wealth.
