Cancer 6/22-7/22
Being patriotic may not be all hot dogs and fireworks, but that’s OK. I would know, because while the stars are in my favor, BBQ is not. This astrological teller is a vegetarian. But the fourth doesn’t have to be pure ‘Merica, just celebrate with some people you love — with or without hot dogs.
Leo 7/23-8/22
During this long weekend, I challenge you to do something different. Instead of diving deep into your phone, look up (especially since the fireworks will be so pretty). You know, unless you’re reading your horoscope.
Virgo 8/23-9/22
Break that diet you’ve been putting yourself on. This weekend is about fun and celebration, and you should be enjoying it. Don’t worry. You won’t remember those few extra calories, but you will remember this weekend. Live it to the fullest.
Libra 9/23- 10/22
Do you know who loves long weekends more than you? Your pets. Take your dog for an extra long walk this weekend or spend your Saturday at home lounging with the cats. No matter how you spend the weekend with your animals, they’ll be happy to see you for an extra day.
Scorpio 10/23- 11/21
You have been spending a lot of money eating out this summer, so let me reason with you. You need to stop. I know you’re making more money this summer, but you won’t have any left if you don’t eat at home. Plus, one of the joys of summer is being able to use your kitchen!
Sagittarius 11/22-12/21
One challenge I have for you is to start reading more news. No, this is not a biased opinion (mostly), but there is a lot happening all across the globe, and you should be keeping informed and up-to-date.
Capricorn 12/22-1/19
With less than two months left before school starts again, make sure to take into consideration your goals for the summer. Get them done and take care of yourself.Now is the best time to take care of your personal health, because it is not as easy to do once school starts back up.
Aquarius 1/20-2/18
While summer vacation is a vacation in itself, most of us are busy working and/or studying. So, take this week as a holiday! This means (hopefully) you get a vacation during your summer vacation. Take this time to restore and remember the summer is about halfway through.
Pisces 2/19-3/20
The fourth week usually tends to allow for lots of traveling or vacation. When you are preparing to leave for this long weekend, remember to be safe. Whether you’re just celebrating the night or you are going away for the whole week, drive slowly, be careful and watch your surroundings.
Aries 3/21-4/19
You might be feeling quite tired this summer, since while summer vacation can be nice, it’s quite different than your normal routine. Take this long weekend to restore. And remember, summer does not last forever, and having a break from your normal routine can be good.
Taurus 4/20-5/20
Summers usually mean making a decent amount of money. Sometimes more than decent, and more than you could ever make while in school. While saving is important, have some fun and treat yourself to the thing you’ve been wanting.
Gemini 5/21-6/21
Most Fourth of July celebrations involve some kind of fireworks. While they can be a great way to celebrate our country, this year’s fourth is on a Thursday, so don’t go too wild. Some of us have to work.
