How to beat the winter blues in cosmic style
JUNE AND JULY 2006Winter is here and for each and every sign, that means more of a struggle to get up in the dark to work out and get to the gym after work in the dark too. Plus, we all crave comfort food in cold weather (mashed potatoes, creamy soups and sweets). Moderation is everything and if you can find ways to keep up your exercise program (even if from your living room) or take a brisk walk at lunchtime instead of window shopping, plus rewarding yourself with low carb/low calorie snacks once or twice a week, youll still fit into your teeny weeny bikini come summer!
Aries (March 21 April 20)Mars, your ruler and the planet that encourages you to look and feel your very best outdoes himself in June and July. Firing up in your fellow fire sign of Leo (a great work out partner for you), not only will your libido be on the rise, but your energy levels and enthusiasm during classes will make you the teachers pet. However, while youre more of a boot camp type girl than a yoga buff, avoid overdoing it around the New Moon on June 27 when trying to sweat out those last few kilos in order to squeeze into your brand new leather pants.
Taurus (April 21 May 21)Venus, your ruler and the planet of beauty spends most of June sashaying her way through your sign. So while youre more interested in hair, make up and fabulous massages, do squeeze in some time for exercise, even if its a daily brisk 30 minute walk with your pooch. In July, a work out partner or instructor who vanished off the radar screen (most likely a Scorpio) reappears and motivates you to try new classes at the gym as well as some holistic beauty treatments that make you look and feel good inside and out.
Gemini (May 22 June 21)Youre continually on the lookout for new and exciting work outs and if youre sick and tired of your current regimen, change it around the Full Moon June 12, or work out at different locations every week. Motivational Mars lifts your energy reserves in June and July and competitive sports (such as squash or tennis) are tailor made for you. Venus the goddess of beauty spends most of July in your sign, tempting you to try a new haircut/haircolour or maybe just a daring red lipstick in place of your usual nude gloss.
Cancer (June 22 July 22)Think tank Mercury in your sign most of June means you are reading too much into the fact that your scales dont seem to be moving or your skinny jeans are still too skinny for you to fit into.

By the Full Moon July 11, you let go of an emotionally draining situation and that too helps you shed the kilos. Jupiter, the planet of good luck moves direct in your self-fulfillment zone early July, and guess what? You realize youre perfect just the way you are!
Leo (July 23 August 23)Superwomans sponsor planet Mars in your sign June and July has you feeling totally invincible and over stimulated. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar you dont need it (or the speeding tickets you inevitably get when Mars visits). And while the desire to beat up every piece of gym equipment in front of you runs high, dont overdo it or you will injure yourself and have to sit it out
not an option for you.
Mercury, the planet of communication retrogrades in your sign July 5-12, a week when you will feel the need to retreat into your inner sanctum. Exercise at home or go for long walks with your I-Pod for company. Your New Moon July 25 signals the perfect time to treat yourself to brand new trainers or work out gear.
Virgo (August 24 September 22)Some sort of health retreat solo or with a good friend is just the cosmic tonic you need in June, a month when you feel the need to indulge your spiritual side. If you cant get away, yoga and stretching classes offer you a chance to release all of that negative energy around you and recharge your chakras.

Not an easy task for you givers, but a very necessary one. Once energizer Mars enters your sign July 25 youre back to the gym with a vengeance and in the mood for kick boxing classes where you can release your frustrations in a more obvious way!
Libra (September 23 October 23)If youve been ignoring a nagging injury for too long, your body reminds you mid-June that its time to seek treatment or give that part of your body a rest. Speedy Mars in your friendship zone for most of June and July suggests that working out with friends makes it that much more fun.

This combined with Jupiters forward motion in your sign July 7 makes for a fabulous month, when you hit your Scorpio stride and feel almost reborn. Go dancing instead of trying to outdo your best time on the spinning bike and invite your partner or family along with you when you go to the gym. They dont hand out guest passes for nothing!
Sagittarius (November 23 December 21)June is a good month to treat yourself to a weekly massage or acupuncture treatment.

Venus, the planet of luxury in your romance and self-fulfillment zone most of June makes you more aware of your looks and your decreased energy levels (yawning a lot and crashing at 4 pm?) Schedule in time for working out, relaxing and beautifying yourself by eating three meals a day and taking time out for pampering, especially around June 11, when your Full Moon brings with it a no go on something you had high hopes for.
Jupiter moves forward in your hopes and wishes zone around the same time though, bringing with him a new project to sink your teeth into.

Dont try to work out on machines that have always intimidated you or join a class full of super fit Amazons. Mars, the planet that wont take no for answer in your one on one relationship zone in June and July means that a work out friend will be relentless in trying to get you to try new things and revamp your diet. This is when you will really learn how to stand up for yourself and stick to what you feel comfortable with.
