♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
An uncle who hasn’t fished since 1994 will out-fish you from the end of the dock using a hook, a split shot, and a cigarette butt. Don’t take it personally.
♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Someone will forget the buns for the July 4th cookout. You’ll fashion passable substitutes out of venison bratwurst and folded tortillas. This will be your legacy.
♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You bring three coolers for a day at the beach. One holds water. The others contain regrets and mayonnaise-based optimism. Eat fast.

♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
After tying on a color you don’t believe in, you’ll catch four fish in 10 minutes. You’ll try to pretend you knew it all along. Classic Virgo.

Your last cannonball will be captured on video and posted without permission. Prepare to be semi-famous in your group chat.
♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
When a man in a tank top and Crocs attempts to light five bottle rockets at once using a lighter taped to a marshmallow skewer, do not intervene. The stars say it is his time to learn.
♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
