Zodiac study habits

Study habits of Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your sign absorbs information quickly. You're an enthusiastic and efficient learner, and enjoy discovering new things. But your strong will and impatience can cause you to overlook details.

Aries are naturally competitive and do best in classes that are within their career scope: leadership, management, entrepreneurialism, marketing, advertising or athletics. Remember that class grades affect your total GPA, which can also affect future school or career plans. Plan accordingly.

Study habits of Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Your sign prefers practical learning concepts. You're methodical with your study habits and love to engage through all your senses. While you're studious and enjoy books and learning, you can be slow to adapt. You're sensitive to your surroundings and benefit from studying alone in a calm, familiar environment.

Taurus can be bull-headed; you'll speak your mind, particularly when you feel challenged. You have a tendency to put your job over your studies, which can be good for your wallet, but remember that your schoolwork may lead to a better job or bigger paycheck.  

Study habits of Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Your sign gets distracted due to your short attention span. You can be restless and multitask while studying. Don't spread yourself too thin, or you may not be able to focus on your studies. Make commitments to projects that you're sure to follow through.

Learning comes easily, and you're naturally curious, witty and intelligent. Geminis have a quick mind and easily retain details. You're independent and benefit from studying alone in a stimulating environment rather than a quiet study hall. Put your debate and negotiation skills to good use by incorporating them into your study plan.

Study habits of Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your sign can get stuck in old study habits. You do best when you feel emotionally balanced, or else you may have difficulty focusing. If your study habits are stagnant, use your creative imagination to inspire new methods.

You have an excellent long-term memory for details, and are able to cram for a test better than any other sign. Cancers tend to be reclusive and prefer studying at home, in your dorm room, or anywhere else that feels safe. Why not mix it up and try studying outdoors, in nature, or by the water? It will also keep loneliness at bay.  

Study habits of Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Your sign shines in class. Leos love being the center of attention. Your natural leadership skills make you the perfect candidate to lead a study group; just don't be too bossy, and pay more attention during lectures.

You're naturally curious and enthusiastic about learning. You tend to overlook the finer details of a concept and generally do better with broader subjects. You can benefit from moving around during, or in between, study sessions. Find supportive study partners or groups that allow you to talk things out and obtain feedback.

Study habits of Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Your sign keeps your textbooks in perfect condition, even though you're not likely to sell them back. You're curious and intellectual, but are easily distracted by the trivial details of a topic, information-rich charts and graphs.

Virgos are highly independent and study well alone in a quiet, orderly environment, such as the library, rather than at a disorganized desk or in a cluttered room. You're organized and habitual, and take diligent notes, though they may not always be legible. You benefit from a structured routine and set schedule or study plan.  

Study habits of Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Your sign likes to choose a wide array of courses that expand your horizons and worldview. You're especially drawn to the humanities, such as psychology and art.

Libras tend to procrastinate, and may need help figuring out where to start studying. Set firm boundaries to keep yourself from getting sidetracked. You're social, and can benefit from study groups where someone else takes the lead. But choose the right partners since you thrive in harmonious environments, and try to make group sessions a regular activity to appeal to your need for structure and routine.

Study habits of Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Your sign likes to flirt while studying, especially during your least favorite subjects. You're resourceful and absorb information like a sponge, especially from your favorite topics. You have set strategies and study habits. You're energetic and tend to pull all-nighters, but can retain information long-term.

Scorpios have a determined focus, and you enjoy puzzles and mysteries. You're serious and strong-willed, and need to learn how to compromise. You don't adapt well to change, and can benefit by studying in a quiet, familiar environment. 

Study habits of Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Your sign procrastinates, mostly because you'd rather be having fun. Your rebellious nature also kicks in if you're not in the mood to study. Focus on developing good study habits to avoid being overwhelmed later in the course.

Sagittarians are logical, intelligent and naturally curious, and are easily bored. You're independent and prefer to study alone. You're a lifelong learner and benefit from progressive or alternative learning environments. Shorter study sessions and frequent breaks can help keep you focused. You have a thirst for knowledge and the potential to excel in any subject with adequate effort.

Study habits of Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Your sign enjoys networking during classes. You love to mix business with pleasure, and studying with socializing. You prefer to study with friends and are a natural leader.

Capricorns are ambitious and have the drive to succeed. You're curious, responsible and methodical, and follow instructions well, making you a good scholar. But you're prone to moodiness and would not do well from an all-night cram session. You benefit from paced and orderly studies since you may become confused by too much information at once.  

Study habits of Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Your sign has unconventional and unpredictable study habits. You're easily distracted and your studies are often interrupted by wandering thoughts. Your imagination and creativity can lead to greater understanding of a subject and improve your memory skills. You may appear disorganized, but you're perceptive, methodical and clever, which make grasping concepts a breeze.

You have a poor concept of time; it's difficult for you to keep a structured study schedule. Aquarius enjoys puzzles and computers, so incorporate them into your study plan. You can excel brilliantly when you're encouraged to use your intuition and innovation skills.

Study habits of Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Your sign is likely to lose your textbook. You tend to daydream during class, and have difficulty focusing on your studies. You're artistic, creative and have good intuitive skills, but don't enjoy classes that are based on cold, hard facts alone.

You're able to absorb and retain details, and you benefit from a structured learning environment and independent studies. Try to study outdoors, in nature, or by the water. You tend to be withdrawn and are often misunderstood, but aren't afraid to ask questions that may seem taboo to others in your class.
