My Zodiac sign is Virgo, and I believe the majority of my birth chart is made up of Virgo as well! I donā€™t really believe in or follow astrology, but I do think I am very much a Virgo, from what I understandā€¦

  • Caroline Snyder, ā€˜26

Most people arenā€™t surprised to learn that Iā€™m a Pisces, and I honestly do feel as though this sign aligns with my personality pretty well, since Pisces are known for being creative, empathetic, and emotional. While I donā€™t buy much into astrology, I find it really interesting, and I canā€™t deny that itā€™s fun to read horoscopes once in a while!Ā 

  • Tessa Stayton, ā€˜25Ā 

As a late September birthday, Iā€™m a Libra! From my understanding, Libras are empathetic, indecisive, and justice-oriented, which I think describes me pretty well. Iā€™ve also read that Libras avoid confrontation, which aligns with my people-pleasing tendencies (Iā€™m working on it). I donā€™t necessarily follow astrology, but I love reading about it and learning what my friendā€™s zodiac signs are!

I am a Leo, and Leos are known to be very extroverted, dramatic, and always wanting to be the center of attention! I definitely relate to the dramatic part, as sometimes I can be dramatic with my emotions and the way I say things. I am not very extroverted, but I do find myself wanting to be liked by everyone, which explains the people pleasing! However, I am also a Cancer moon, and Cancers are very sensitive, empathetic, and emotional. I am definitely more quiet and sensitive than the typical Leo, which I think is because of the Cancer moon. I am actually pretty into astrology and have a big book in my room called Stars, Numbers, Birthdays, and Their Meanings, which has every birthday and its rising sign (Iā€™m a very adventurous Sagittarius rising), moon sign, etc. I love looking up my friendsā€™ birthdays and reading about them!Ā 

  • Madeline Motes, ā€˜27

My star sign is Pisces. Though I believe anyone can apply traits of any of the Zodiacs to themselves, I have long loved being a Pisces. Despite always being listed last in any Zodiac sign post, I enjoy the aquatic connection, as well as the core traits of empathy, creativity, and being deeply in touch with their emotions. While I donā€™t follow astrology, I do think it is fun to look into.Ā

Skye Roberts

Conn Coll '23

Skye Roberts is a first year at Connecticut College. She loves nature and telling stories. She enjoys making art, writing, making films, and creating songs. She enjoys crafting in general, from sewing to crochet, to woodworking, to blacksmithing (on the occasion).
At her high school Skye was a member of the book club, the musical, the National Honors Society, and completed the IB diploma program. After graduating from Valley Regional High School Skye hopes to major in film and art at Conn and pursue her dreams to be a freelance artist, filmmaker, author, and musician. Perhaps one day in the far future, a park ranger somewhere. Back at home a little West of Conn College she has a dog and a cat whom she loves dearly as well as a woods she adores. After college she hopes to live in a small cottage in the highlands of Scotland for some time, with animals, a little town, and plenty to explore.
She enjoys all of the seasons but Summer the least. Skye looks eagerly forward to fall where she plans to go on autumn walks while listening to Hozier, and curl up with a cozy book like ā€œSix of Crowsā€, watch a show like ā€œHildaā€ or ā€œSex Educationā€, or a movie like ā€œthe Hobbitā€.
Through her storytelling whether it be in the format of a canvas, writing, lyrics, or video, Skye tries to let her emotions and experiences speak for themselves. She also likes telling the stories of others and hopes to inspire and relate to people, and foster an environment where everyone feels welcome.
