Americans spend several days of the year in the summer with barbecues and gatherings, or prefer quiet celebrations at home. One of those festive days is Independence Day, where barbecues, fireworks and friends and family gather to enjoy the celebration. The Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, which is celebrated today as the Fourth of July. As a result of this declaration, the thirteen North American colonies seceded politically from Great Britain. If you’re American, how do you celebrate Independence Day? Let’s find out based on your zodiac sign.
Aries – A celebration of the Fourth of July
Aries, you are competitive, very energetic and don’t like to wait for anything, which means you won’t wait for someone to invite you to a Fourth of July party. That’s because you plan a party the way you plan it. You arrange good food and plenty of outdoor games, and all you want is to have fun. Since you have a competitive side, you want to be the one to brag about having the best Fourth of July party in the neighborhood.
Taurus – enjoyable and delicious picnic
Taurus, you don’t like parties unless there is plenty of good food. And that’s because you are energy efficient and sensual. That’s why you spend Independence Day going to a park and having a picnic with some friends or your partner. And you bring gastronomic dishes with you. You have an Earth sign, so you will enjoy this activity because you can get in touch with the Earth in a park and do exactly what you enjoy most, which is enjoying delicious food.
Gemini – Go on a road trip with some friends
Gemini, you are versatile and you need a lot of exercise. Moreover, you are very social and communicative. Therefore, the activity you will do on Independence Day is to take a road trip. You’ll probably take a few days off, since you’ll be taking the weekend off and returning home on July 5 (or you could take the entire week off for your trip). However, the 4th of July holiday is a perfect reason for you to take a road trip with friends, which will likely be one of many during the summer.
Cancer – Have a get-together at home
Cancer, your life revolves around the home. You are emotional and cherish the moments with your family and best friends, just as you are sentimental. You also don’t like leaving your comfort zone and sticking to what you know. Therefore, on Independence Day, you will likely have a quiet get-together at home with some close friends and family. You make it fun for the guests. You cook a meal or order catering, eat snacks and if there are children in the picture, there are movies and outdoor games. It will be a special occasion for you.
Leo – Either a beach party or a backyard party
Leo, everything about you is extravagant and you need excitement. Like Aries, another fire sign, there’s no good Fourth of July celebration if there’s no party in the picture. You also like to be the star of the show. Therefore, you are the one who organizes and organizes the party, because you want your guests to remember you for having a good time. If you live near a beach, organize a beach party; If you don’t, host a party at your home and in the backyard with a barbecue, lots of music, dancing and fun activities.
Virgo – Attend a small gathering at most
Virgo, you are a very analytical person and not the type to go to parties, let alone organize one, unless it is a small gathering of close friends that you can trust. You will be happy to attend when someone invites you to a Fourth of July meeting or lunch because you want to do something to get into the spirit. However, due to your introverted nature, you prefer to stay home and do chores, whether it’s cleaning or making your to-do list. You don’t like to avoid your routine too much during the holidays.
Libra – Any social celebration
Libra, you are about honesty, beauty and relationships, as you are the most social sign of the zodiac. Therefore, it is not surprising that you want to spend the 4th of July at a party. You don’t necessarily feel like hosting one, but you will if none of your friends are hosting a party. You’re not the type who won’t wait to host one because you don’t know if your friends will host it like your mirror sign Aries. You’re also not the type who wants to throw the party because you want to be the star of the show like Leo. You just want to socialize and enjoy yourself with others, so you won’t think about hosting a party if you have a friend who does that.
Scorpio – Go to a memorial park or national historic site
Scorpio, you are mysterious and private, and you are more introverted. Therefore, you will never be the one to organize a party, and you will attend a small party if those who will be there are trustworthy to you. Perhaps you prefer to nourish your spirit on Independence Day, which is why you prefer to go to a memorial park or a national historic site to learn about the history of Independence Day. You can research them or listen to a podcast if there isn’t one near you. And in the evening you go out into the garden or balcony and watch the fireworks from afar.
Sagittarius – Going to an outdoor music festival
Sagittarius, you love freedom and never want to be cooped up at home. That’s why you love traveling and experiencing different adventures. However, you will remain in town for the 4th of July celebration to celebrate Independence Day. Since you’re full of energy and enthusiasm, you’ll want to do something to help you release your energy: go to an outdoor music festival. You can dance during the concert and have a great time; your enthusiasm is contagious, and others around you will do the same.
Capricorn – Go camping with good friends or family
Capricorn, you are goal- and business-oriented and quite performance-oriented and ambitious. And you’re also an introvert, which means you have a few close friends, and the idea of partying with others you don’t know doesn’t get you excited when it comes to celebrating the Fourth of July. That’s why you arrange to go camping with your friends during the holidays, because you want to do some cycling or walking during the camping trip. Since your sign is an earth sign, you feel at home in the outdoors.
Aquarius – Go to a party and do something good for the community
Aquarius, you are unconventional and friendly, but like to keep others at a distance. Therefore, you will want to attend a 4th of July celebration party to experience the excitement. However, you don’t stay that late because you want to use that time to do something positive for the community. That’s why you’re helping your community by volunteering with the cleanup, contacting local veterans and offering to help them in any way you can. You may also be the one who goes to a party and then goes to the clinic to donate blood. Your humanitarian side will come to the fore during these celebrations.
Fishing – Spending some time at the lake or pond
Pisces, you are sensitive and imaginative, and you need a lot of solitude to recharge because life can overwhelm you. That’s why you’re not the one going to a barbecue or a party unless your good friend is the host. The best Fourth of July activity for you is going to the lake or pond and enjoying some “me time” so you can recharge. You will stay there until the fireworks show is over. If you don’t live near a lake or pond, you can stay in the tub for a while to do the same. You have a water sign, so the water connection is important to you.
The number of Fourth of July celebrations you can do to honor Independence Day and have fun at the same time is endless. And the party ideas mentioned are at least something to think about if you’re not sure what to do that day, regardless of your zodiac sign. You can decide to have a barbecue with your family and some friends and enjoy fireworks, or you can do something unconventional. Whatever you do to celebrate the 4th of July, make it fun and stay safe.
