They don’t show outsiders their true colors. But showing the real you isn’t a bad thing at all; you could make some decent friends from it. Aries know what they want, when they want it. Make sure you find the things that you need in school. Because chances are, you probably do need them. If middle school happens to bring you drama, ignore it and don’t let it aggravate you.

Their problem’s aren’t your problems.” -Liv Suydam

Cancer signs are well-known as emotional signs, though they hide it well. They also happen to be insecure and shy, so your best bet is to have “self-affirmation” sticky notes hidden in private places like your locker or the bottom of you lunch box.  We all know even the most confident people still get anxiety sometimes, but Cancer is one of the biggest targets. During class presentations and other put-you-in-the-spotlight scenarios, don’t crack under pressure. Remember, this is only one small event in your life; it doesn’t matter what they think. Regardless of the introvert behavior, Cancers are one of the most down to earth, loyal people in the horoscope history book. If you find friendship that you think is good, stick with it. Chances are, that they think the same because Cancer are good people. Cancer signs get along best with Scorpios and Pisces. Here is some tips from a Cancer cohort. “We can be very introverted but take a day to stand out, you just might like it.” Sydney Edwards

Leo signs are one of the most extraverted signs and are pretty much opposites of the Cancer. They tend to be adventurous but also have a big ego. They love being in the spot-light which gives them motivation for their presentations and always leave the class laughing. Despite these traits, they have a fear of rejection, so they will do anything to look good. Make sure you chill on making sure you look 100% and try to let loose a little. Sometimes you try escape reality so make sure you’re giving yourself an update on what’s going on by watching the news or checking newsELA pages in school. For drama, we all know it’s tempting to get the juicy details of all of it, but once you get in you can’t get out. Eventually you will regret it so just try and stay out of it. Leo signs get along with Sagittarius and Aries. Here is some advice from a Leo student. “Despite the fact that we Leo’s love attention, I suggest taking a day to step back and give other people the spotlight.”-Ariella Valdiviezo

Virgo
The stereotypical Virgo is smart and has a lot of common sense. Then again, Virgos happen to know that they are smart and sometimes get caught up in their own opinion. You can turn most things into a debate, so when you are in the classroom make sure you give other opinions a chance. You tend to pick and choose with friends but once you find the right person they are very true and loyal to that friend. Although this can be a good thing, you need to find other people for some more support, so be adventurous and find some new friends. This will be easy because Virgos are very approachable and come off as very friendly. All you have to do is to follow through with that trait. If drama comes your way, don’t worry, Virgos are very to themselves and try not to get involved anyway. Virgos make good friends with Taurus and Capricorn. Here is some school tips from two Virgos. “At first, some Virgos, like myself, can be seem intimidating, but you just have to get to know me. Virgos are very friendly and can be somewhat dramatic.” -Zhada Johnson “To my fellow virgos, we tend to be perfectionists and intelligent, so use that for a good cause and help a classmate out.” - Maya Fuchs

Libras are known to be the most charming of all signs. Although this seems to not relate to school, it can. Imagine you forgot to do your homework. If you’re a Libra, you will definitely be fine, as you can manipulate yourself into getting another chance. But as this comes off as a good thing to others, for Libra, it can be a curse. You start doubting if people like them for who they are if they do decide to manipulate people. So lesson learned, don’t use your charm in pressuring situations. Just be you. On the other hand, Libras happen to be peacemakers and are great at seeing both sides. This comes in handy if two of the students in your class are having a debate over something. Since Libras do tend to procrastinate, you should make a checklist of your priorities. If drama falls into your direction, figure out a solution, and solve the problem. Libras have good relationships with Gemini and Aquarius. Here are some school suggest from a Libra at AMS. “Be light or be dark; you have a choice.” -Ella Keener

Scorpio
You could argue that when you hear Scorpio, you think bad-tempered. Which can be an argument, but Scorpio signs are one of the most true and loyal signs and expect the same of others. This can be helpful in school because students and teachers will respect you. Scorpios stick to their word, so in friendships you can be trusted. But, despite the good things about being a Scorpio, there happen to be some bad qualities that don’t help in school situations. For example, if teachers show inconsistency then Scorpios aren’t afraid to tell them, even if it isn’t in the kindest way. So, make sure you think before you speak. If drama comes down your alley, just think about if they were talking about you; don’t add the conversation. It only makes it worse. Scorpio are usually happiest with with Cancer and Pisces. Here is some advice from a Scorpio student. “If they are mean, then they are jealous. Don’t judge other people just because everyone else does.” - Amelia O’Halloran

Sagittarius signs see the glass half full. You are very optimistic and brighten up the class if or if not necessary. While Sagittarius signs seem very out there, they can be emotional. Sometimes, you feel pressured to keep your emotions inside, but that shouldn’t be the case. Talk to a friend about how you are feeling, it will do good. Sagittarius signs are the most fun to be around, but remember school isn’t necessarily to have fun so try and take it seriously. And since it’s about learning, you should try not to assume that you know everything. Remember that you don’t have all the answers. If drama is aiming toward you, we know it may be fun to add on to the conversation, but would we want people doing that to you?… Thought so. Just remember to stay true to yourself, especially in school. Sagittarius have fun with Aries and Leo. Here is a quote from Sagittarius that attends AMS. “Don't spread rumors about other people because it reflects on your own self image. Focus on your own well-being and not on making other people look worse than you are.”  -Maddie Tate

Capricorn signs have very big personalities. Almost everything is a big deal for you, so make sure you aware that maybe your problem isn’t that big. So, if you think that you have endless amounts of homework, don’t worry about it too much. Break it down and give it necessary effort. You are very hard workers so if you can, check the rubric and make sure you are not “exceeding expectations” over the top. Capricorns make lots of friends because they bring people together. They tend to be natural born leaders so make sure you don’t compete for power with the teachers or other students. If drama comes into your neck of the woods, ignore it and brush it off. It takes a lot to make you mad, but when you do get mad you end up saying things you don’t mean. So excusing yourself from the conversation is key for no drama. Capricorn gets along with Virgo and Taurus. “Capricorns have very high standards and often let work get in the way of their personal life, so I recommend taking a mental break off from school and let loose a little.” -Mira Phillips

Aquarius
When I think of an Aquarius I think independent. Aquarius have a tendency to want to work alone so try and be open to social interactions with school work. Aquarius signs don’t like to be the center of attention or have a lot of friends by choice. You can be picky, so try and stay more open minded to having more friendships. Most times, Aquarius have a lot of common sense and also are intelligent or smart. Sometimes, you already know half the stuff that is being taught. But everyone learns something new everyday. You may be surprised, you may learn something that you didn’t expect. Other than that, Aquarius are problem solvers, so along with Libra, you too should give your opinion on the matter. If drama happens to come onto your territory, well, one thing is for sure, you are good at saying what you think is right. Listen to gut and that’s that. Aquarius get along with Libra and Gemini. Here is a tip for being a better student. “Make sure you know that being big on the inside is better than being big on the outside.” -Charlotte Ross

Pisces
The stereotypical Pisces likes to escape reality through other people, alive or not. Pisces like to read and act fictional characters and can be dramatic. This can be aggravating at school because we know that you “need” to finish the newest edition of your favorite comic book. But the truth is, we are in school for a reason. To learn and to some extent, be social and have friendships. Which is good because Pisces do make good friends. However Pisces are known to hold grudges for a very long time; but the truth is, you are only hurting yourself and risk losing that relationship. If drama comes your way, the worst thing that you can do is to get involved with it. There will be a lot of grudge-holding, which is one of the things you don’t want. Pisces gets along with Cancer and Scorpio. Here is a Pisces quote. “Do your best and don’t give up.” -Ella Waters
