Staff Writer Solomia Dzhaman channels the forces of the universe to help you make some tough housing-related decisions.
As you watch your Plan A (and B) (and C) options disappear with each round of housing selection, you just can’t imagine what the future has in store. Should you cross your fingers for that Ruggles suite? Should you break up your housing group in hopes of singles? Or should you abandon all hope and resign yourself to a McBain double? Let the stars guide you via Bwog!
Aries: Mars is just past a conjunction to Saturn – you should be confident in your decisions. Even if it seems as though the last 6-person suite will disappear before your eyes, hold out hope, because your fate will turn out for the better!
Taurus: As the sun enters Taurus season, you seek stability and calm. Reassure your housing group that everything will be ok – but be sure to have a worst-case scenario ready. Not only will it calm your worries, but it will strengthen your friendships.
Gemini: Venus enters Gemini, making you seek out friendship and connection. This bodes well for your housing group, but make sure you keep your romantic interests out of the picture – rooming with your crush is a terrible idea!
Cancer: Venus is entering a shadow phase, meaning you may feel especially lost and confused. You may have missed the tensions arising in your housing group, so get ready to write a Facebook post seeking a new suitemate.
Leo: The sun in Aries has given you the boost of confidence you’ve missed for the past few weeks! Hurray! But make sure you temper the confidence with realism – your sophomore group with a mid-range lottery number is not going to get a Ruggles suite.
Virgo: Perfectionist Virgo, make sure you are not stifling your fellow housing group members. Acknowledge to yourself that the housing lottery is random, and ultimately, you can’t control the situation. Sometimes, you want a Watt single but the only ones available are in Shapiro, and that’s ok.
Libra: As Venus, your ruling planet, enters Gemini, you gain perspective. You are striving to balance the wants and needs of the people in your group, but sometimes forget your own – do you really want to live in a shafted double just so you can live down the hall from your friends?
Scorpio: The sun is in Aries, making your emotions even more heightened. You may blow small issues out of proportion, so be careful not to trample any member of your housing group, as your needs are not always the most important.
Sagittarius: As the Libra full moon aligns, it is time to take a chance! If an opportunity to live in a well-situated double instead of a mediocre suite arises – take it! You won’t regret deviating from the status quo, and sometimes a last-minute decision turns out for the best.
Capricorn: The sun enters Taurus, drawing you out of your comfort zone. Make sure you stay true to your original plan, as deviating may cause you to compromise your original values. If you wanted those single stall bathrooms last month, don’t sacrifice them for a better view!
Aquarius: With both Mars and Saturn in Aquarius, you strive for control. Make sure you are letting your roommate talk – just because you think you have their best interests in mind doesn’t mean you should make decisions for them.
Pisces: As Jupiter meets Pluto, your social network is widening, and you are more open to new people. Although you may want a suite, don’t be afraid of a corridor-style dorm, you may find some new friends on your floor!
