Pet Astrology and Horoscopes
ARIES
"Pets born under the sign of Aries are bold and adventurous."
21 March - 20 April
Dogs: Being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries pets naturally have a strong desire to be the pack's leader. They thrive in the countryside, eagerly picking up scents and blazing trails. Breeds such as gun dogs, whippets, lurchers, and hunting dogs are particularly suited to the Aries energy. These dogs cannot bear to be confined and feel compelled to explore every nook and cranny of their environment. They leave their mark wherever they go. However, Aries dogs may exhibit intolerance towards other dogs, often getting into fights and attempting to assert dominance over other pets and people in the household.
Cats: Aries cats, like their canine counterparts, tend to be independent loners. You might not see them for days as they wander around the neighbourhood, feasting at every house except your own. They are not welcoming towards other pets and consider them intruders. Keeping your goldfish and budgie safely secured is wise, or you may encounter some trouble. At night, you'll hear your Aries cat hissing at any cats that dare enter their territory. Battle scars and missing pieces from their ears are common for these feisty felines. Aries cats possess vibrant personalities and an exuberant nature that will captivate you.
TAURUS
"Taurean pets have a placid nature, except when pushed to the extreme."
21 April - 21 May
Dogs: The Taurus dog is an absolute delight! They are incredibly loyal, faithful, and a breeze to train. These pups make fantastic guide dogs and are wonderful companions for children. Taurus dogs have hearts of gold, and everyone can't help but adore their kind and gentle nature. They might become a bit plump and cuddly as they grow older, but that only adds to their charm. Their love for food is legendary, but what else do they adore? Music! Play some Beethoven, and your Taurus dog will be in heaven. They'll sit by your side, listening intently, and may even let out a harmonious howl. They're not the most energetic dogs, preferring a relaxed pace unless provoked or playfully teased.
Cats: Taurus cats are a sight to behold with their big, beautiful eyes, thanks to their ruling planet Venus. When young, they could easily win prizes at cat shows, especially if you have a blue-eyed Siamese Taurus cat. But as they age, they might resemble an overstuffed cushion covered in luxurious fur. Oh, and a word of caution: never spoil a Taurus cat with a special treat like fresh fish. Once they taste it, they'll turn their noses up at anything else, leaving you with a perpetually empty wallet. These Venus-ruled felines take great pleasure in the finer things in life and will seek out your lap for constant pampering. They revel in luxury, and your lap will be their throne of indulgence.
GEMINI
"Gemini pets are intelligent, entertaining, and quick to learn tricks."
22 May - 21 June
Dogs: Get ready for some non-stop fun with your Gemini dog! According to pet astrology, these pups can never stay still. They have a boundless energy and an insatiable need for attention. Change and new environments are their jam, so if you have a friend willing to dog-sit for a few days, they'll be in heaven! The best part is that Gemini dogs are super quick learners. From playing dead to somersaulting through flaming hoops, they'll master tricks in no time. Show-offs? Absolutely! With Mercury as their ruling planet, Gemini greyhounds are lightning-fast runners. Just be sure to watch carefully, as their wandering nature may lead them to explore new horizons if they can.
Cats: Who says cats don't listen? Gemini cats are the exception! These communicative felines seem to understand our commands and might even meow back as if they were answering us. They're highly strung and hyperactive, keeping you on your toes. Gemini cats are a sight to behold with their sleek physique, long limbs, and keen eyesight. Their intelligence shines through, and they'll quickly figure out how to open the cat flap all by themselves. Interestingly, ancient astrologers associated Gemini with sparrows, so don't be surprised if your cat brings you the occasional feathered gift. It's their way of showing love and affection!
CANCER
"The oversensitive Cancer pet thinks it's one of the children."
22 June - 23 July
Dogs: Get ready to shower your Cancer dog with love and affection! These pups are incredibly sensitive and can easily cry if you bark commands. They thrive on your attention and reassurance, so get ready to pat them and say "good boy" until your throat is sore. Cancer dogs have a nurturing instinct, making them wonderful parents if given the chance to have a litter. They are also great with children and often see themselves as part of the pack. If they had flippers instead of paws, they'd be jumping into the water at every opportunity! According to pet astrology, water is their element of joy.
Cats: Cancer cats are true to their lunar nature. They embrace their nocturnal side, and you may have trouble rousing them during the day. But once night falls, they come alive with energy. These feline Cancers love the sound of their own voice, so don't be surprised if you hear them meowing and expressing themselves, especially if you have a ginger Tom. Thankfully, Cancer cats are not prone to picking fights and tend to timidly back away from confrontations. They are gentle and nurturing, much like the lion in "The Wizard of Oz." Your Cancer cat will melt your heart with their constant need for affection. They'll be your devoted companion, always seeking love and warmth.
LEO
Extrovert and gregarious Leo pets need to be admired
24 July - 23 August
Dogs: Behold the regal Leo dog, exuding confidence, fearlessness, and pride! These majestic canines are perfect candidates for police work, fearlessly chasing criminals, entering blazing buildings, and even sniffing out bombs. It's no surprise that dogs praised for their bravery or favoured by royalty often find themselves born under the sign of Leo. Your Leo dog craves attention and cannot stand being ignored. Their vanity knows no bounds, and they love being the centre of everyone's admiration. Loyalty runs deep in their noble hearts, and they would bravely protect you, even at the cost of their own life. While they make excellent guard dogs, it's quite amusing to discover that Leo dogs are scared of cats.
Cats: Cats born under the feline sign of Leo in pet astrology are the epitome of good fortune. They enjoy excellent health and seem to possess an abundance of luck – and that's just the beginning of their fortunate journey. These fortunate felines are often born into affluent homes surrounded by luxury. Most Leo cats boast long, luscious fur, but the naturally long-haired breeds, such as Persians, take beauty to a whole new level, perhaps even winning prizes in cat shows. Pampered Leos have a knack for attracting wealth, so it's only natural for them to have quality collars and baskets fit for a king or queen. They are extroverts and social butterflies, yet your Leo cat remains humble and steadfast. Their loyalty is unwavering, and they'll prove to be your true and faithful companion.
VIRGO
"Virgo pets are conscientious, clean, and love to work."
24 August - 23 September
Dogs: Prepare for a delightful surprise when you come home to your Virgo dog! They are the epitome of cleanliness and hygiene, ensuring a fresh and pleasant atmosphere in your home. Virgo dogs thrive on routine, so be sure to take them for their daily walk at the same time and feed them punctually. Sheepdogs and working dogs, in particular, flourish under the influence of this sign. They are diligent workers, happy to engage in productive tasks from dawn to dusk. Interestingly, Virgo rules over small animals in pet astrology, meaning even pint-sized pups like Chihuahuas can thrive under this sign. All Virgo dogs are fiercely loyal and expect the same unwavering devotion from you.
Cats: Get ready for some adorable feline fussiness with your Virgo cat! You can almost hear her gently nagging you for perfection. She has impeccable standards and won't settle for anything less than the very best. To keep her content, make sure she always has top-quality food served in the same spot at the same time each day. Just like their canine counterparts, Virgo cats are obsessively clean and spend ample time grooming themselves to stay immaculate. Catching mice might not be their strong suit, as they'd instead engage in playful antics than go for the kill. These cats may be prone to allergies, and their sensitive skin could react unfavourably to flea powders or treatments. So, extra care is needed to keep them comfortable and healthy.
LIBRA
"A pretty pet that naturally blends in with its surroundings."
24 September - 23 October
Dogs: Get ready to be enchanted by your Libra dog's irresistible big brown eyes! They have mastered the art of persuasion and can melt your heart with a glance, especially regarding food at the table. Libra dogs appreciate the finer things in life, so it's time to toss out that old blanket and provide them with a luxurious basket lined with the finest silk. According to pet astrology, Libra dogs despise being alone and will yearn for your company when you're away. They thrive in the company of other dogs and are true advocates of peace and harmony in their environment. However, it's important to note that they can sometimes be ridiculously stubborn. If your Libra dog decides they don't want to go for a walk, good luck trying to budge them!
Cats: Indecision is the name of the game for Libra cats. They'll ponder whether to come in or go out, be finicky about their food choices, and move from your lap to the radiator to the sofa in search of the ultimate comfort spot. For the Libra cat, nothing ever seems to be quite good enough or able to meet their lofty expectations. Ruled by the planet Venus, don't be surprised if your Libra cat occasionally appears a bit dreamy or listless – they might just be lost in love! Interestingly, destiny dictates that pretty Libra cats blend in with their surroundings effortlessly. Your tabby Libra cat may even match your carpet, creating an adorable, harmonious aesthetic in your home!
SCORPIO
"Scorpio pets are loyal and expect absolute loyalty in return."
24 October - 22 November
Dogs: Get ready for an intense and passionate bond with your Scorpio dog! They have the remarkable ability to love or hate with fiery intensity but rest assured, once you earn their trust and treat them well, their loyalty knows no bounds. With their natural inclination towards secrets, Scorpio dogs excel as trackers, possessing an unparalleled ability to sniff out even the most elusive scent trails. Bloodhounds, cocker spaniels, and dogs with a keen sense of smell find their perfect match under this astrological sign. Additionally, the sexual prowess of Scorpio dogs makes them ideal candidates for breeding purposes, adding another dimension to their remarkable qualities.
Cats: Picture an enchanting jet-black cat with mesmerizing emerald eyes – the embodiment of an ideal Scorpio cat. Governed by the mysteries of the occult, your Scorpio feline will create a special telepathic bond with you, even if you're not a witch. She'll seem to know your thoughts, sense danger before it approaches, and magically appear for dinner just moments before you call her. The connection runs deep, and if there's a loss in the family, your intuitive Scorpio cat will be the first to sense it. The Scorpio cat is sacred in Egyptian mythology and revered for its enigmatic nature. She may be strange and arcane, but rest assured, she brings you luck and protection through her inherent magic.
SAGITTARIUS
"Brave active and bright the Sagittarius pet will always amuse us."
23 November - 21 December
Dogs: Prepare yourself for a whirlwind of energy and excitement when you have a litter of Sagittarius puppies! These little bundles of joy are bursting with hyperactive enthusiasm. They develop into strong, muscular, and resilient companions as they grow. Sagittarius dogs encompass a range of breeds, including German Shepherds, Labradors, Old English Sheepdogs, and elegant long-limbed dogs like Borzois and Afghans. With their fiery astrological sign and the lucky influence of Jupiter as their ruling planet, these dogs exude bravery and fortune. They are incredibly trustworthy and reliable, making them perfect candidates for working with the blind. They have plenty of character and are skilled at amusing you with their entertaining tricks.
Cats: Serendipity seems to follow Sagittarius cats wherever they go, often leading them to be in the right place at the wrong time or vice versa. When it's mealtime, don't be surprised if your Sagittarius cat decides to play the role of the elusive one. And if there's a cat stuck up a tree, chances are it's a Sagittarius trying to satisfy their curiosity. While they appreciate affection, they have a strong independent streak and dislike being smothered. Your Sagittarius cat treasures her freedom and may occasionally display an air of popularity and aloofness as if she prefers to mingle with feline elites from the finest neighbourhoods. With long, flowing hair or whiskers reminiscent of a majestic horse's mane, she's the picture of activity and vitality.
CAPRICORN
"Capricorn pets look old before their time."
22 December - 20 January
Dogs: Capricorn dogs may give off a wise and mature vibe from the moment they enter the world, but they only grow more charming and lovable with age. These dogs are well-suited for cold climates, making breeds like St. Bernards and huskies perfect matches for their practical and grounded nature. With Saturn as their ruling planet, they possess an unyielding work ethic and fearlessness when tackling challenges. However, their patient nature may lead them to spend their sweet time with everything, including walking. It can be a bit exasperating as they lag behind, but their stubbornness is just a part of their endearing personality.
Cats: Some might say that Capricorn cats have a flair for self-indulgence. They won't hesitate to enjoy your food, snatch your treats, and accept your affection, only to nonchalantly walk away as if you're invisible. Domesticity isn't their strong suit; they feel more at home in the wild. Many stray cats are born under the sign of Capricorn, and sadly, some Capricorn kittens are abandoned at a young age. While your Capricorn feline companion may not be the life of the party, every sentient being deserves love and care. It may be your special mission to shower her affectionately, even if she's not the most exciting company.
AQUARIUS
"If your pet is totally bonkers- it's probably an Aquarian"
21 January - 19 February
Dogs: Aquarian dogs are the true entertainers of the canine world, always ready to bring some laughter and joy. If a dog is being silly or pulling off clever tricks on a TV show like "That's Life," chances are they're an Aquarian. These dogs possess quirky traits that make them stand out from the pack. They have a natural knack for circus performances and may even seem more human than dog at times. Despite their eccentricities, they cherish their furry companions and love running alongside their pack, even if their path might be a bit unpredictable. According to pet astrology, the key to a happy Aquarian dog is granting them plenty of freedom and letting them off the leash to explore the world.
Cats: If you playfully dyed her pink, picture your white Siamese Aquarian cat with a delighted expression. Just like their canine counterparts, Aquarian cats exude eccentricity. They might surprise you by favouring chocolate over fish, befriending birds, or even sleeping in the dog's basket for a nap. They're unlike any cat you've encountered before. True to their independent nature, they see you as the provider of food rather than a constant source of affection. Like all Aquarians, Aquarian cats have a magnetic pull towards the world of television. If you're seeking a feline star for your show or advertisement, look no further than the purrfect Aquarian cat.
PISCES
"Pisces pets will know if you're happy or upset".
20 February - 20 March
Dogs: According to pet astrology, mongrel dogs thrive under Pisces. Being a Pisces dog can be a bit confusing, as their minds are constantly buzzing with new ideas. One moment, they might be pacing between the warmth of the fire, their cozy basket, and their food bowl, contemplating their next move. Pisces dogs also have a natural affinity for the sea, and a day at the beach is their idea of pure bliss. Don't be surprised if they have a fondness for fish too! It's worth noting that Pisces dogs may have weaker ankles and paws, so it's essential to keep a close eye on those areas and seek care if they show signs of limping.
Cats: Consider Pisces cats as the "Elizabeth Taylor's of the feline world." They demand a diamond-studded collar to match their glamorous personality. Sometimes, you might catch them strutting around with their nose held high and their tail perfectly straight, leaving you wondering if you somehow offended them. But in the blink of an eye, they'll be craving your affection and seeking your attention. Pisces cats are a delightful blend of conflicting emotions. If they could speak, their frequent phrase would likely be, "I don't know what I want, but I want it now!" However, they possess an incredible intuition and can instantly sense your mood, whether you're happy or upset.
