Star signs.

Cancer 6/22-7/22

JUNE Do you have a big summer project hanging over your head--like the 25 books your English teacher expects you to read in eight weeks or maybe that backyard clubhouse you've been planning to build? Take some quiet time to reflect on how you're gonna tackle it Walk in the park, hang in a hammock, hit the library (hey, it's air conditioned).

JULY Feeling juiced up, you ball of energy? This is your month to be supper sporty Just don't overdo it. Don't want to spend the rest of the summer with a sprained ankle or something, do ya?

SUMMERSCOPE Your fam could be in major hit-the-road mode. Too many vacations, not enough time with your crew? Ah, relax. Keep in touch with your buds bye-mail or send em lotsa postcards that say, "Wish you were here." Better yet, try to convince the 'rents to let true-blue tag along for the family road trip. What could be better? Have friend, will travel.

Leo 7/23-8/22

JUNE Your social life is blossoming in a big way. Join a summer sports team to further widen the friendship circle...and get fit while you're at it.

JULY It's daylight savings time and all, but you need to get a little more shut-eye. Slow down and catch your breath before the big birthday blowout. You don't want to poop out at your own party, do you?

SUMMERSCOPE The odds of you having a summer crush seem very high indeed. But often with crushes comes conflict, and it takes two to make it or break if. So if you and the dude hit a few bumps along the road to romance, work it out...together.

Virgo 8/23-9/22

JUNE Your parents signed you up for canoe camp, diving lessons or something else against your will? Don't fight it--make the best of it. Rather than getting stressed, get stoked!

JULY Friends are in the forefront this month, so round up the crew. Get a major bang out of your bud-bonding time by hosting a fab Fourth of July get-together. It'll be dynamite!

SUMMERSCOPE So sorry, but it might be time for a certain friendship or crush to come to an end. Let it go gracefully, and keep your mind from dwelling on the sadness by throwing yourself into getting organized. Your crib could probably benefit from an overhaul.

Libra 9/23-10/23

JUNE Looks like an exciting vacation could be on the horizon. Pack plenty of film and a travel journal because this could be one memorable getaway. Have fun!

JULY Vacation's over, but stay de-stressed. You can't take a seaside stroll, but you can walk around the block. No more frozen yogurt from the boardwalk, so go for sno-cones down the street. Missing the soothing sounds of waves crashing? Clean out your ears, and pay attention to all those birds chirping in your backyard.

SUMMERSCOPE This summer is all about surrounding yourself with the people who care. Be there for each other, or be square. You could need their support, and they're likely gonna need yours.

Scorpio 10/24-11/22

JUNE Did you land yourself some part-time employment for the summer? If not, you should hit the pavement and start filling out some job apps. The time is ripe for you to reap the benefits of a paying gig. Go for it, Scorp.

JULY Ask the head honcho for a few days off. For what? Whatever! Go camping with the crew, or just hang out in your crib. After all the hard work you've been clocking in, you deserve a break.

SUMMERSOOPE Keep that crush in check. He seems like the most perfect guy ever? No such thing. As long as you're able to hold this dude's attributes in perspective, things should be fine--but never, ever flawless.

Sagittarius 11/23-12/21

JUNE This month is about total freedom. No, your parents are not going to drop curfew and let you do whatever you want. But you'll really appreciate the wind in your hair as you race your bike through the neighborhood or feel the exhilaration as you swim freestyle at the lake.

JULY unfortunately, the feeling of freedom won't shield you from impending conflict. Keep on biking and swimming, though, to take the edge off.

SUMMERSCOPE You should do a good job this summer of keeping yourself busy. But be sure to take some time to just do, well, nothing. Never underestimate the benefits of vegging out once in a while.

Capricorn 12/22-1/20

JUNE You could be facing some serious decision-making stuff about your future. Perhaps you're considering taking summer courses or going to a new school next year. For now, focus on the short-term goals and worry about the long-term details later. Ya don't wanna suck all the fun outta summer.

JULY People are particularly drawn to you this month. Whether you're making brand-new summer buds or getting closer to the crew you've already got, take advantage at your stellar social opps.

SUMMERSCOPE Don't be surprised if you feel a little less energetic than normal. All those choices you have to chew on and your busy-as-a-bee bud time can be draining. Use vacation time to rejuvenate.

Aquarius 1/21-2/18

JUNE Are you overbooked? Summer is a time for rest and relaxation, and you could be completely missing the boat. It's great to keep busy but, geez, girl. Take it easy, would ya?

JULY Uh-oh. You're only halfway through summer, but almost all the way depleted of your seasonal fun funds? Take on a few babysitting jobs or something to replenish the piggy.

SUMMERSOOPE Get in touch with the fam this vacation. Stroll the beach with Mom, get funnel cake with Dad, play Scrabble with the little bro.

Pisces 2/19-3/20

JUNE You seem to be a total homebody this month and stuck to the couch like super-glue. It's OK to stay close to your home base, but break away now and then for some bud-bonding time.

JULY You've discovered the power of play time. Just don't forget to slow down occasionally for some beauty rest and a good meal. No, a Diet Coke and handful of Doritos do not qualify as lunch.

SUMMERSCOPE Work some physical activity into your routine. Plan outdoorsy stuff with your friends, or just pop in an exercise DVD.

Aries 3/21-4/19

JUNE Emotional family stuff could hit the fan this month Getting out with the girls could give you the release you need to deal with the home sitch. Don't be afraid to talk to a friend (one you totally trust).

JULY Looks like the storm blew over, and now you actually like being home. Great! Use the time to get closer to family.

SUMMERSCOPE If you get a chance to get away from it all for a while, pack your duffel and go! You could definitely use a change of scenery. It'll help you see everything in a whole new light.

Taurus 4/20-5/20

JUNE Peace out, and get introspective. If you haven't already, start a journal. Make poetry, pen a ditty, or just doodle. It'll help you grow from within.

JULY Don't let the mid-summer boredom bug bite. Plan outings with family. Get to that traveling art exhibit, do a taste-test at the funky new restaurant, dance the day away at an all-ages music fest.

SUMMERSCOPE Trouble could be brewing in the bud department. It's doubtful the friendship afflictions are between you and your BFFs. They're probably more about other people in your social circle, so steer clear.

Gemini 5/21-6/21

JUNE Happy b-day! Another year, another wad of dough. Blow out your candles, but don't blow that cash. Spend a little, stash a lot.

JULY Take that cash you stashed, and stretch it. How so? Be a summer biz whiz. Invest a few bucks in a babysitting course, buy some supplies to be a jewelry-making mogul, toss some coins in the library's copier to spit out those dog-walking flyers.

SUMMERSCOPE All in all, your summer's gonna be hot, hot, hot! Don't let the heat melt that snowballing business you've created. Stay cool.
