Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You prefer something more elegant than wolfing down burgers and cheap beer or getting jostled by the masses. How about hosting your own barbecue with flare, featuring gourmet versions of standard American fare?
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The parade can be a great place for people-watching -- one of your favorite pastimes -- but you'll probably be happiest once the dark descends and you can kick back and watch the light show. A one-on-one date with a sweetie or close friend is likely to be preferable to a big shindig.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
If the conditions are right, you'll want to take this long weekend opportunity to enjoy a camping trip or other outdoor adventure. If you can't get out of town, a long bike ride or hike will do the trick -- that is, help you experience the freedom that this holiday celebrates.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Your middle name may not be "summer fun" but even you, the workhorse of the zodiac, needs to take a break once in a while. You'll probably prefer a low-key and restful outing -- perhaps a picnic in a beautiful spot in nature or a hike up a mountain.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Born under the sign of revolution, you can appreciate a celebration honoring the rebellious roots of your native land. Of course, you may wish to keep on playing the rebel, perhaps by boycotting all patriotic events and watching British TV instead.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Your ideal celebration takes place by the water -- if you can't make it to the ocean or a lake, a pool party will do. Or, you might want to avoid the crowds altogether, and take this time to indulge your inner dreamer by enjoying a quiet day at the spa.
