Health, diet, and hygiene take on an increasing importance in your life from now until mid-September. Make it your first priority to eat nutritious meals filled with lean protein and lots of fibre. Get in the habit of exercising, even if it's just taking a walk for twenty minutes each day. Above all, take pride in your appearance. You'll feel more motivated to stick to your regimen after you throw out dowdy, ill-fitting clothes.

It's time to relax, unwind, and celebrate the freedom of summer! Heavy responsibilities are leaving your life, allowing you to take time off. Plan trips to see friends, especially ones who live in fun places. The next month is ideal for meeting a romantic interest. If you're already in a relationship, cultivate hobbies with your mate. Enjoyable activities will draw you closer together, and help you discover hidden dimensions in each other.

Solving domestic problems is important if you're going to enjoy a pleasant home life. If current arrangements aren't working out, redistribute the chores. Impose fines and punishments for kids who don't do their fair share, and follow through on your promises. Somebody has to maintain order, and it might as well be you. You can't always be the nice one. Besides, you're getting tired of being stuck with all the work.

Study, reading, writing, and lecturing are all in the cards for you between now and mid-September. Putting your mind to work will cause your self-esteem to soar. You've always suspected you have leadership potential. The more you read, the stronger this ability will become. By the time autumn rolls around, you may be asked to teach a class. If you're already an instructor, you may branch out into an entirely new area.

You could be preoccupied with financial matters for the rest of the summer. If you are struggling to make ends meet, you've got to create a budget. Keep track of what you spend on a daily basis. Go over your list with an accountant to find ways to save. Being more mindful about how you spend money will heal your wounded ego. Reassert your independence by starting a savings account. You can do it.

The next six weeks should prove extremely rewarding, if you push yourself intellectually. Learning a new language, mastering an emerging technology, or finding new ways to cope are all ways to improve your prospects. A bright person like you loves nothing more than putting your brain to the test. Don't be intimidated by rivals. Your common-sense approach will win you distinction this summer.

Keep personal plans under wraps between now and the beginning of autumn, or you could become vulnerable. People who are eager to assume your place are looking for any opportunity to knock you off your perch. Don't even trust friends and family with secrets now. Information has a way of leaking out. Make an effort to spend more time by yourself, figuring out what is important to you. The answers may surprise you.

A growing interest in humanitarian concerns could cause you to get involved with a volunteer organisation. You need to feel connected to other people right now. Making money and having fun will become less important as the summer wears on. Don't be surprised if you make some important new friends between now and mid-September. These people can fulfil an emotional gap in your life that has been widening for some time.

Correspondence for business and professional reasons will build until the end of summer. Take advantage of this period by sending out resumes, going on job interviews, or studying for a license. You've never been in a better position to advance your prospects. You may want to discuss your options with a powerful person who has experience in your desired field. Go ahead and schedule an interview; your communication skills are very impressive.

If you want to go back to learning, now is the perfect time to apply for courses. Be sure to send in your application as soon as possible, preferably before the end of August. People will be more than willing to write recommendations for you. If you'd rather broaden your horizons through travel, plan an exotic trip. You're in an extremely receptive frame of mind right now. Take advantage of all life has to offer!

Discussing your sexual needs can be uncomfortable, but it's imperative this summer. You can't expect your lover to read your mind, after all. If you don't have a partner, it may be because you refuse to get in touch with your physical side. Start indulging yourself with sensual pleasures like massages, silk sheets, and expensive colognes. Getting comfortable with your body takes practice. Take matters into your own hands.

Communication is the name of the game when it comes to dealing with romantic and business partners. Putting your feelings into words can sometimes be difficult for you. You'd rather convey your thoughts through creative endeavours. If you're going to have your needs met this summer, though, you'll have to tell those closest to you in words of one syllable. Don't leave anything open to interpretation. Written contracts are always preferable to verbal ones.
