   Now that the weather is warming up, we can take advantage of outdoor activities and dream about vacations. Of course, each sign has a different definition of fun. Here are some suggestions for every member of the zodiac to capitalize on all the magic that summer affords.

Aries
You Rams are active all year round, but youre especially sporty during the summer months. Running, rollerblading, and biking allow you to leave the constraints of work and family behind. Your competitive spirit is often fueled by the summer sun. Entering a race or walkathon is a healthy way to test your mettle against others. For a vacation, consider venues that invite you to stay up all night, like a casino hotel or singles resort.
Taurus
Like Ferdinand the Bull, your greatest joy is to stop and smell the flowers. Summer invites you to do just that. Long, leisurely strolls through the park and afternoon picnics will provide pleasant diversions from work responsibilities. Aimless drives through the countryside will also prove refreshing, especially if youre a city-dweller. For a full-on vacation, youd likely enjoy a spa, health resort, or bed-and-breakfast.
Gemini
Summer is the season of block parties. When youre not hosting a neighborhood get-together, youll probably be attending somebody elses. The warm weeks ahead might also prompt you to travel short distances. If you Gemini dont have lots of extended vacation time, arrange to spend a series of three-day weekends in nearby towns. But if you can get away, you might like to visit an ancient ruin, big city, or historical monument to satisfy your curious spirit.
Cancer
The summer sun is beckoning you Crabs to leave your shell. Activities like camping and house-boating allow you to enjoy the great outdoors while maintaining a comfortable home base. Hosting a family reunion could also be in the cards for you, as you love being surrounded by your nearest and dearest. White-water rafting could prove sheer bliss. If you decide to travel, check out cultural centers that offer plenty of plays, art galleries, and concerts.
Leo
You Lions love basking in the summer sun, whether its on a deck chair or at the tennis court! Wherever you are, all eyes will be riveted on you. Thats because youre at your sexiest during the summer months. In fact, your favorite seasonal activity will probably be flirting. If you have a mate, go on vacation together to a sun-drenched island or gambling mecca, like Las Vegas or Atlantic City.
Virgo
The summer months afford an abundance of your favorite fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Youll probably spend much of your free time at the farmers market. When youre not enjoying berry tarts and spinach salads, youll be delving into good books. Remember, summer reading is for pleasure, so put away those clunky texts until fall, Virgins! If you want to get out of town, try renting a quiet cabin in the woods, where you can commune with nature. A country inn might also provide lots of pleasure.
Libra
One of your favorite things about summer is all the fun fashion it affords! Naturally, youll want to add some light, bright items to your wardrobe. Youll have ample opportunity to show off your cool threads at summer parties and outdoor concerts. Of course, youll want to throw at least one sophisticated soiree of your own. For a vacation that suits the Libran love of beauty, try a place thats famous for its distinctive architecture, like New York City or San Francisco
Scorpio
Although youre probably not a sun-worshipper, you do enjoy the summer for its warm, sultry evenings. Going for late-night walks with your beloved can deepen your bonds of commitment. If youre single, find a club that keeps late hours. Its easy to lose your inhibitions at a darkened room filled with pulsating music and writhing bodies. For travel excitement, Scorpios might want to try an ocean cruise.
Sagittarius
Youll probably spend the majority of your free time outside this summer. Sporting events and amusement parks are among an Archers chief delights. You love being surrounded by a crowd of happy people. The prospect of travel always excites you, and you can find some great hotel and plane fares now. An extended trip abroad, perhaps?
Capricorn
Notice that bright light outside of your office window, Capricorn? Its called the sun! Do your best to cut back your work hours and indulge in some light-hearted fun. Throwing on an old pair of jeans to go strawberry picking can be a welcome respite from paperwork. Suffering from heat exhaustion? Take a long vacation in the mountains.
Aquarius
If youre suffering from the summer blahs, check out Roadside America and visit some offbeat places of interest. With choices like The Corn Palace, Monkey Jungle, or Museum of Jurassic Technology, how could an Aquarius possibly go wrong? Show off the photos at your first annual Christmas in July party.
Pisces
Summer affords a beautiful opportunity to just rest, relax, and dream for Pisces. Working on a volume of poetry, painting the view from your back porch, or photographing flowers are all activities you might enjoy this season. Jumping through the sprinkler can awaken your inner child, as can catching fireflies in a jelly jar and weaving dandelion crowns. If wanderlust strikes, head for the beach or a lakefront cottage.
