I know we're only creeping our way into spring at this point, but I can't help but break out the bikinis and all the sunscreen in hopes that the sunniest season of the year comes a little bit sooner. When the days are longer, you can spend hours with your feet soaked in the sand and surf — and maybe have a bonfire on the beach with your besties, too. Seriously, aside from the ocean, we can't get enough s'mores and those sweet nights of making memories. You've prepped the marshmallows, and maybe a polaroid camera, too. But the pool float you need for this summer has been picked out by the stars, and you'll want to take the universe's cues for an unreal summer.

You daydream about your picture-perfect beach days and afternoons spent by the pool all the time. The real world has you so stressed out, and you need at least a week of wading in a tropical paradise to cure your wanderlust. That semester you studied abroad was truly the best, because you could jet set on the weekends to some of the best European beaches without a worry in the world.

This summer, you're looking for all the relaxation, and you'll probably take at least one trip to the lake for some swimming. But, if you really want to feel refreshed, you'll need to buy something fun and flirty in advance. Hang in style this summer with a pool float that's been picked out just for you, based on your zodiac sign.

You have a lot of confidence, Aries. You're most comfortable when you're following your dreams and leading the pack. Most would shy away from the road less traveled, but you choose to trail blaze it yourself, and watch others follow in your footsteps.

It's natural for your star sign to take on challenges with a whole lot of passion, so a pool float that's just as extra about everything is the perfect pick. A cactus, like you, has its rough edges and stands oh-so-tall in the desert. The universe is sure that this summer will be hot and full of sunshine, so you'll want to channel all of this float's best characteristics and take a few dips, too.
