| Your Summer Slim-down Forecast |
Every sign of the zodiac relates differently to the movements of the planets. Want to get thin and fit? Get an astrally apt workout regime.
This summer, Jupiter, planet of living large (maybe a size too large!), moves into Leo, the sign that emphasizes self, suggesting that summer's excesses could run counter to our diet and fitness goals. What's more, Saturn, planet of limitations, opposes Pluto, planet of transformation, which means it will be harder than usual to change old habits this summer -- and it will take more discipline than usual to stay fit!
Are you determined to manage it anyway? Find your sign to learn your own summer slim-down forecast -- and your optimal strategy for heading into autumn with the body you've always dreamed of!
Will summer fitness help you find new romance?

Aries
If you're working out at home, now is the time to establish a regular
ritual. Rams will lose weight more through aerobic and cardio exercise this summer than by adopting any specific diet. Mercury in Gemini during June puts the focus on power-walking around the neighborhood.
Workout Traits: High-energy; focused; goal-oriented.
Diet Tips: Healthier foods, but nothing too exotic.
Best Exercise Partners: Leo, Sagittarius
Taurus
For best results, partner up ASAP for diet and or exercise with a neighbor or sibling. Jupiter's move into Leo in August is the right time to start a diet group that will let friends and neighbors gather to swap stories and offer mutual support.
Workout Traits: Ritualistic; slow; combining work and pleasure.
Diet Tips: Avoid fried foods.
Best Exercise Partners: Virgo, Capricorn
Gemini
Trying out a variety of store-bought remedies is your best bet, as shopping brings you an inordinate amount of luck in the early summer. The sign of the Twin will embrace the discipline that others resist; your natural love of freedom will be hardly affected by discipline at the gym.
Workout Traits: Varied approaches; exhausting; social.
Diet Tips: Smaller portions will let you eat at least a little of what you want.
Best Exercise Partners: Libra, Aquarius
Cancer
The Crab is looking at a great chance this summer to lose a lot of unwanted weight, or at least end those days of moping around the house feeling like a slug. August will ignite you, as Jupiter moves from your sign into Leo, removing cosmic weight and signaling the start of a good time for a much-improved workout routine.
Workout Traits: Simple; can be done at home; calming.
Diet Tips: Home-cooked meals have less fat than restaurant food.
Best Exercise Partners: Scorpio, Pisces
Leo
Focus on early summer fitness by learning lots of recipes that emphasize good nutrition. August sees Jupiter enter your sign, and while it might make your lion roar, it will also make you crave fatty foods and keep you seated pleasantly on your big, fat...throne. Be prepared by having your kitchen stocked with healthy munchies.
Workout Traits: Stimulating; public; show-offy.
Diet Tips: Being the main character in your weight-loss story will keep you focused.
Best Exercise Partners: Sagittarius, Leo
Virgo
You can sit around and criticize yourself or you can take action. As Jupiter brings its largesse your way, joining a gym will be the best way to use cosmic energy to get in shape. Your perpetual need to lean on institutions to produce good personal results will pay off by late summer.
Workout Traits: Specific; detail-oriented; structured.
Diet Tips: Calorie counting, calorie counting -- oh, and then counting every last calorie.
Best Exercise Partners: Capricorn, Taurus
Libra
Joining an aerobics or yoga class this summer will lead to a fitness breakthrough, as exercise routines focused on groups of people working out together will be favored by the stars. June is a great month to walk long distances instead of driving, as Mercury favors travel.
Workout Traits: Partnered; unstructured; wandering.
Diet Tips: Low carbs, or none at all.
Best Exercise Partners: Aquarius, Gemini
Scorpio
Your Pluto ruler will be opposed by Saturn in early summer, leading to some frustration with your slow progress. Don't worry: the stars are merely signaling that fitness should come all the time, not just during a workout. Learn to incorporate nutrition and exercise into your everyday routine.
Workout Traits: Private; grueling; challenging.
Diet Tips: High fiber, low fat, lots of water.
Best Exercise Partners: Pisces, Cancer
Sagittarius
A buff partner may be making you feel as if you need to spend more time in the gym, when in reality you're in the best shape of your life. Remember that one crucial aspect of fitness is mental clarity. Use Saturn's discipline as it moves through Gemini in July to see your partner's signals for the positive feedback they really are.
Workout Traits: Adventurous; restless; willing to take risks.
Diet Tips: Avoid butter and dairy products.
Best Exercise Partners: Aries, Leo
Capricorn
If hiring a personal trainer is in your budget, this is the summer to pick up the phone. As motivated an individual as you may be, the stars will be sending you some of their richest rewards through the efforts of someone else. By August, Saturn in Gemini will be imprinting your workout routine as an unbreakable habit, and you can strike out on your own, if you still want to.
Workout Traits: Regular; achievement-oriented; regimented.
Diet Tips: Skip seconds and desert.
Best Exercise Partners: Taurus, Virgo
Aquarius
Discipline with a high-protein diet will pay off in June and July as you shed pounds by trading sugar for steak. Fitness will come from using chores at work as exercise routines, from jogging while doing neighborhood errands to weightlifting as you lift the bottles to refill the water cooler.
Workout Traits: Trendy; New-Agey; set to music.
Diet Tips: Fresh fruit instead of snack foods.
Best Exercise Partners: Gemini, Libra
Picses
Use your approach to fitness as creatively as possible for best results. Maybe someday you'll be able to teach a class on your personal approach to holistic health or personal workouts. With Jupiter moving into your disciplined Sixth House, running the show for others will keep you trimmer than ever.
Workout Traits: Spiritual; mind-body connection; sweaty.
Diet Tips: Fish instead of beef, water instead of soda.
Best Exercise Partners: Cancer, Scorpio
