Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Pick up some paint and some paper and get crafty! Letting out some of that pent-up creative energy will do your mood some good.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Buy a magazine and enter one of those crazy contests listed in the classifieds in the back. You might win something cool like a snow brush or a Nerf ball.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Go to Pet World and buy an exotic pet. Chameleons and scorpions make excellent roommates.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — With Valentine’s Day behind you, revive your love life and ask out that cutie you’ve been eyeing. Just be casual, kids aren’t something you should discuss on the first date.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) — There’s no better time than the present for an attitude adjustment. Sure you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, but taking a more optimistic approach to things will help you a lot.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ve been pretty ambitious lately with your good grades and amazing career aspirations. Keep it up, you’re on your way to great things.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Revitalize your inner child. Sure it sounds lame, but you know it’s there. You know, that little part of you that would rather spend spring break in Disney World than Jamaica.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct . 22) — Take a road trip this weekend. Chances are you’ll have a great time and have some great stories to tell later.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Rent lots of movies and have a movie marathon this weekend. Rent some old favorites like “Wayne’s World” and the first Austin Powers movie.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec 21) — You think your roommate is so innocent and sweet, but you just wait. She has a sneaky plan up her sleeve to dye your hair green and cut it all off right before spring break so you look like a monster on your beach vacation. Or you might just be paranoid.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even though your friends pretend to understand your obsession with cheesy TV programs like “Trading Spaces” and “The Wedding Story,” your professors will not be so understanding when you don’t get your work done. So turn off that TV and get to work!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Swallow your pride and give in to the fact that your RA is better than you at Dance Dance Revolution. Just keep practicing and you’ll improve.

(If you actually believe this, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. This is not to be taken seriously.)
