Fiery Mars is facing off with powerful Pluto this 4th of July, adding a special energy to the holiday. Make the most of this July 4th by honoring your unique style of celebrating!
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
With your affinity for all things explosive, you're likely to be fixated on the fireworks. If you've got your own stash, you'll have to exercise serious self-discipline to save a few for the 4th. Your competitive spirit would relish participation in a race or contest -- if you're not too busy leading the parade.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Holidays are all about food, to the true Taurus, so a picnic or barbecue is your preferred mode of celebration. You appreciate the simplicity of Independence Day fare: burgers and apple pie are right up your alley. If possible, take some time away from the crowds and relax in a peaceful natural setting.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Your perfect party day involves making the rounds and dropping in on several different neighborhood gatherings -- after, of course, the parade. You won't want to limit your options by committing to just one celebration.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Cancer is the sign of nation and homeland -- as well as the USA's Sun sign -- so you have a personal connection with this holiday. Your ideal celebration involves your close friends and family coming to your own backyard for a barbecue, where you can offer your classic comfort-food spread.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
You're used to being the life of the party, and this holiday is no exception. Go all out and host a theme party, asking guests to dress up as their favorite American patriots. Don't forget the Independence-Day yard decorations, like a lit-up Statue of Liberty.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Admit it -- this is probably not your favorite holiday. Loud noises, crowds, messy food … it all can feel like a bit much. Invite a friend or loved one to hike up a mountain to watch the fireworks from a safe, peaceful, nature-based distance.
