Aries:  March 21 - April 20

 

Being the first sign of the zodiac, an Arian will be a perfect pet just so long as they always come first because that is, of course, their rightful position!  Governed by the fiery planet Mars, they are full of exuberance and when you share your life with them you will certainly never be bored!  Constantly on their toes for a challenge, nothing is too adventurous for them, but they’ll never understand why you might have second thoughts.

Taurus:  April 21 – May 20

 

Stoic is the name that most describes this character, (unless you prefer the word ‘stubborn’!)   They are loving and loyal companions, and if given the job of guarding property will do so with total attention and commitment.  Only the best food will do for your Taurean, so don’t be surprised if they go on a hunger strike if you try to fool them with ‘own brand’ products, and nothing less than the
family silver for meals, thank you! Give in, you'll never win!

Gemini:  May 21 – June 20

 

Will they stay in or will they go out?  Will they run ahead or will they run back?  There’s rarely a dull – or a quiet - moment with your Gemini pet.  Governed by chatty Mercury who can never still their mind or make a decision, they are restless and need constant stimulation.  Want to lose weight?  Get a Gemini and you’ll be kept on your feet for sure!  You’ll need to keep alert because enthusiastic they may be but loyal they may not!

Cancer:  June 21 - July 22

 

Moody and often broody, the sensitive Cancerian needs to be handled very gently, especially when the Moon is full.  Life is simply a bundle of emotions  when you’re governed by the ups and downs of the lunar cycle,  but they’ll make it all worthwhile by being the perfect partner and nurturing your every need, if only you’ll let them!   Bear in mind that they’re named after the crab which side-steps when facing conflict, and that hard shell is protecting some very sensitive inner feelings.

Leo:  July 23 - August 22

 

Born to lead, the Leo often boasts the mane of a lion and always loves to be the centre of attention.  There are no half-measures with them, it’s either total, undivided love and attention or complete disregard for you and everyone around them!  They’ll make up for these shortcomings, however, by being so lively and enthusiastic about what they do when they are involved with something along their wavelength, you’ll just have no choice but to forgive them their transgressions.

Virgo:  August 23 - September 22

 

You’ve heard the story of the Princess and the Pea?  No doubt the Princess was a Virgo.  Attention to detail – the finest detail - is their modus operandi, and don’t you forget it!  They can be so logical it can make you scream, but at other times it could be their innate worrying that gets you shrieking!  Anxiety attacks and odd medical conditions may cause some problems, but there’s little you can do to change the character trait of those born under this sign.

Libra:  September 23 - October 22


Aligned with harmony-loving Venus, Librans are sensitive to everyone around them and never want to rock the boat by making a decision which may go against yours.  However, this trait also means they can charm the birds off the trees with their tact and diplomacy, and they tend to be the most romantic of all the signs   Sometimes their motto, which seems to be ‘Peace at any cost’, causes problems In relationships, but once they finally commit. It is usually for life.

Scorpio:  October 23 - November 21


Recognised by their arresting eyes, very little gets past a Scorpio!  They have an astonishing ability to penetrate your deepest secrets yet succeed in keeping their own motivations close to their chest.  Passionate by nature they can be the most possessive in any relationship but are also willing to be totally committed once they have found a  mate.  Though they like their own space and individuality, being governed by their sexual organs, mating is of utmost importance to them.

Sagittarius:  November 22 - December 21

 

A short trot down to the shops isn’t good enough for your average Sagittarian, no, it has to be a ten mile hike or scaling the highest mountain.  Ruled by Jupiter, those born under this sign want everything or nothing, and there will never be any half measures!  Waiting around for anything more than 30 seconds whether for food, affection, exercise or attention is total anathema.  They can all too easily lose heart and become depressed when instant gratification is out of reach!

Capricorn:  December 22 - January 20


Named after the goat which lands on its feet, Capricorns are usually quick witted and capable of reinventing themselves at the drop of a hat.  Though they love their family and have natural parenting skills, sometimes they put work before everything else, and need to rethink their priorities.  Being an Earth Sign they will plod along, making slow but steady progress.  Often hidden deeply beneath the stoicism there beats a romantic soul!

Aquarius:  January 21 - February 18


Aquarians being ‘the flow of knowledge to the world’, so they are always curious and adventurous creatures.  Being an Air Sign they need constant mental stimulation, as being bored may cause them to become ‘a rebel without a cause’.  They are great in a crisis, and can see the bigger picture no matter what the problem.  Being detached emotionally, don’t expect them to offer much overt affection, but once this companion has bonded to you you’ll enjoy a lifetime of loyalty and friendship.

Pisces:  February 19 - March 20

 

The dreamer of the zodiac!  Governed by deeply mysterious Neptune, your Piscean will keep you wondering from the word ‘go’!  They can flirt, they can seduce, but will you ever know what’s going on in their heart or mind?  Probably not!, that’s the conundrum of having this sign in your life.  Seeking perfection they will try again and again to form the most perfect relationship.  You ,now what they say ‘If at first you don’t succeed….’  The Piscean is ever-hopeful!
