ARIES

You’ve got a lot going

on: field hockey, dance

class, volunteering at the

animal shelter and a Sat-

urday night babysitting

gig (on top of a packed

school sched, phew). RN,

it may feel like too much,

but the hard work will be

totally worth it. So just

go along for the ride...

and get ready to sparkle.

$55, Skinnydip London

GEMINI

You’ve been working hard on

getting those #goals. So now

is the perfect time to focus on

others around you: Reach out

to the new girl. Reconnect with

your old camp crew. Recharge a

fading friendship with a stellar

sleepover. And reflect a bit more

on your own growth—try yoga or a

morning meditation. Before long,

you’ll find that your life will be

filled with the connection you’ve

been craving. $65, Aldo

CANCER

Not normally one for

bold style moves, you’re

feeling adventurous with

your fashion choices at

the moment. Let a bright,

on-trend backpack send the

signal that this is the year

you’re up for trying new

things. From finally saying

yes to auditioning for the

fall musical to checking

out potential study-abroad

programs, you’re feeling a

new level of confidence that

has you ready to make some

daring (but smart) decisions.

$55, Skinnydip London

TAURUS

Starting to feel like this might be

your year to stand out? Believe it,

Bull. You branched out so much this

summer (sleepaway camp,

befriending your new neighbor, the

high dive!), there’s no way you are

hiding your light. With your wall-

flower ways now a thing of the past,

everyone finally can see just how

brightly you shine. $25, Forever 21

These punchy packs will carry you through the school year in

style. Zip up and strap in: here’s your guide to the galaxy.
