If you can’t beat the heat, join it

Sweltering summer days are finally here and everyone is melting, hoorayyyy. Some of you may have purchased one of those trendy solar hat fans. Others are weighing the cost and reward of carrying dry ice packs in their bags.  What am I doing? I’m reading up on the zodiac signs in The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need and wondering if astrology can teach us how to stay calm, cool and collected this season. After all, we should try to enjoy the warm weather just a little, right?

Here’s what you’ll find below:

Your sign + description + ideal summer fun for you = Cool (hopefully), calm, collected

**I’ve also include a weakness for each sign so the rest of us can stay away from you when you’re acting some type of way, as Rich Homie Quan would say**

Gemini 

Charismatic, supportive and inspiring. Often unpredictable, mood swings on mood swings.

You’ll go a little crazy if you sit inside with your AC all summer. Even if that feels like the right thing to do, don’t do it. Get out and explore, maybe take a road trip. You value your independence so don’t be afraid to explore by yourself if your friends aren’t up to it!

Cancer

Keeps the family close. Sympathetic and loyal friend. Sometimes moody, feels a lot of feelings.

You like to be comfortable but also love adventure. Try something new this summer. Grab a close friend that you feel comfortable with and try something exciting. Maybe water-skiing? Just an idea!

Leo

Rawr, powerful tigers. Wonderful leaders. Brave and intuitive. Doesn’t like to share their toys.

Try something new, something exhilarating. Planning is totally your thing, so make sure you plan a few fun activities this summer! You love time in the sun, maybe a tropical vacation would be nice. Remember not to soak up too many rays! Sunblock on sunblock.

Virgo

Intuitive and inquisitive. Need balance in their lives or they’ll fall off their rocker.

Don’t be afraid to spend some time chilling outside with a good book. Maybe go for a walk by yourself or with a friend. What about an outdoor dance class? You might really love that!

Libra

All about balance. Super intuitive, super passionate about justice. Can be extremely indecisive.

You love to be surrounded by harmony and peace. Definitely try to get involved in some outdoor activities. Maybe visit a lake and go for a swim. Sounds pretty peaceful to me!

Scorpio

Extremely focused when necessary. Appear cool and confident. Often very secretive, spooky.

Push your limits, try something new. Go biking, hiking, swimming, maybe even mountain climbing. Even if you’re nervous to try something new, your confidence will pull through and you’ll probably end up having a great time.

Sagittarius

Focused and philosophical. Super intense. Loyal in relationships but do not commit easily.

Take a trip! Visit somewhere you’ve always wanted to learn more about. You love to learn and the summer is a great time to travel.

Capricorn

Ambitious and intelligent. Achieve goals systematically. Often do not take criticism well.

How does a camping trip sound? This could be a perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends you aren’t normally able to spend time with during the busier months. Let loose a little, you’re such a hard worker!

Aquarius

Much humanitarian, very energetic. Sometimes express their emotions in an unhealthy way.

You are such a humanist and love to use your intellectual mind to solve problems. Try taking on more of a volunteer role this summer. You have the gift of seeing without prejudice, why not tap into that? If you have the time, maybe even look into a volunteer trip abroad.

Pisces

Honest and trustworthy. Become passionately devoted to causes. Extremely emotional.

Spend some time hanging at the beach, you love the water! Is there a special someone in your life? Maybe the two of you could have a beach picnic, you’d love that.

Aries

Lots of energy, lots of initiative. Strong willed.

Channel your intense energy into fun activities and cool adventures this summer. How does a hike sound? Maybe visit a cool place you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t had a chance to.

Taurus

Patient and practical. Generous and sympathetic. Initially have their own self interest at heart.

You love to enjoy the finer things in life. Try a fancy restaurant you’ve been curious about, or maybe take a cooking class! What about gardening? You’d love that.

 

Feeling a little cooler? Calmer? More collected? Try out some of these summer activities to get the most out of this season. And hey, if you sit home in the AC all day you’ll never get tan, just saying. On that note, don’t’ forget to wear sunblock!
