Pet Astrology

In an age where there’s actually a market for goldfish walkers, is pet astrology really so out there? According to astrology.com, the stars effect more than just the behavior of mankind. Even fish fall under the influence of the stars. The site offers a pet section aimed at explaining the idiosyncratic workings of the animal mind—astrologically.

If Gizmo’s medical records are correct, she’s a May-born Gemini, which could explain why she’s such a loud mouth and needs a constant influx of new toys.

Is your pet’s personality in the stars? Here’s the breakdown by sign, according to astrology.com:

Aries: Energetic, competitive and assertive, Aries pets tend to be great protectors. Aries cats need room to roam.

Taurus: Slow pokes, Taurus pets tend to be lazy and loyal; it’s unlikely they’ll run away. They love all the creature comforts of home, including hearty meals, so watch their weight.

Gemini: Great communicators, Gemini pets are very social and interactive. They crave variety and freedom. Highly intelligent, they are easy to train.

Cancer: Intuitive, sensitive and adoring, Cancer pets like to stay close to the family. Though they can be moody and aloof at times.

Leo: Loyalty comes with a price with Leos. While they demand constant attention, in return, they are devoted, courageous and strong. They will not hesitate to come to the rescue.

Virgo: Prone to hypochondria, Virgo pets love routine, and are neat and clean. Keep a Virgo cat’s litter box spotless.

Libra: Playful and interactive, a Libra pet could easily become the social director of the neighborhood pack. They also like to travel.

Scorpio: Independent, loyal and intuitive, Scorpio pets are curious about everything. They want to know what’s going on with the family and other stuff like, ‘what’s in the very bottom of that garbage can?’

Sagittarius: The happy-go-lucky Sagittarius loves the outdoors, games, vacations and kids. They also like room to roam.

Capricorn: Stable and serene, the Capricorn pet appreciates all the comforts of home and a happy family. Very self controled, they are easy to train and follow the rules.

Aquarius: Possibly the most eccentric and quirky, the Aquarius pet needs the freedom to express itself. Prepare to be amused.
