Your Aquarian pet is one of the "Fixed signs" of the zodiac. These pets have great determination that expresses itself in the form of great willpower.

The Aquarius pet is something of a live wire ...and not just figuratively. These animals tend to be drawn to anything connected with electricity and may often be found stretched out on piles of electrical cords. Very erratic in actions and often described as somewhat "spacey," the Aquarius pet is rarely calm and anything but easy to manage. Unless an owner is a little "off the wall" in character, then he or she will probably find dealing with an Aquarius animal rather a daunting challenge.

The Pisces pet is known for the gentle and soulful expression of the eyes. Regardless of species, the animal governed by Pisces will exhibit a kind of inner beauty and demonstrate characteristically benevolent attributes.

By tradition, the Sign of Pisces is representative of service, but not so much dutiful service as sacrificial service. This is the brand of service that is totally unconditional and carried out for the sole purpose of aiding those in need. Many seeing-eye dogs fall under the jurisdiction of Pisces.

The Aries pet will likely be more aggressive than an animal born under almost any other Sign. Pets governed by Aries possess an abundance of energy, but might burn out rather quickly, inclined to indulge in play for a much shorter time than an animal ruled by a different Zodiac Sign.

These are souls who will never be reticent in pushing their weight around, thus letting any other pets know that they are first in line. Indeed, more often than not, the Aries pet will want to be the only one in line. Thus, an animal governed by Aries usually prefers to be the sole pet in the household and can become rather raucous if there is any form of competition.

The Taurus pet is an easy-going, stay-at-home and mild-mannered soul...one whose only true downside is the tendency to be overly stubborn. It is also more likely that this pet will wait for an owner to approach, rather than the pet going to the owner, basically refusing to "come" until he or she is good and ready. In short, these animals can be called countless times...the name being repeated endlessly...or screamed at, or begged or be treated very nicely, it makes little difference.

If the Taurus pet is not in the mood to move, then he or she will stay put. In essence, animals governed by this Sign prefer to lounge where they are at the time and have others visit with them or cater to their whims.

The Gemini pet adores variety and probably the greatest punishment that could be placed upon an animal governed by this Sign is isolation. These are souls who love to have friends, to mingle and to socialize. There should always be a vast array of different toys available to the Gemini pet and he or she should be provided with plenty of entertainment.

The Gemini animal likes to talk a lot...but in his or her own language, of course. Thus, a Gemini dog will bark more than most others of his or her kind...a Gemini bird will probably sing, chirp or cackle all day and if he or she happens to be a parrot, will likely possess a much larger than average vocabulary, which will undoubtedly be used incessantly. In addition, Gemini pets adore noise.

The Cancer pet is sensitive to the phases of the Moon. Animals governed by Cancer are also influenced by the "day of the Moon," which is Monday.

On this day of the week, Cancer pets may appear more depressed than normal...possibly more "whiny" or needy of an owner's attention, especially if the Monday in question happens to fall on a Full Moon. Under such circumstances, it will be necessary for an owner to be particularly sensitive and aware of the animal's intense mood swings.

The Leo pet requires a lot of attention. However, he or she will not resort to whining or gentle nudging for the needed tender, loving care...he or she demands it. For instance, in a very feline way (regardless of species), Leo animals will very subtly and seductively indicate that a tummy rub is exactly what is in order. This is achieved courtesy of eyes that are both begging and alluring, or expressed by way of body movements.

A Leo dog may, for example, convey his or her desires by behaving in a very catlike manner...swaying back and forth, coquettishly tossing the head over the shoulder while throwing an owner a distinct "come hither" look. When a Leo pet wants something...be it a pat, a treat or a walk...he or she will let an owner know in an assertive yet ingratiating fashion.

The Virgo pet is by nature extremely neat, clean and tidy. Everything the Virgo animal does...from walking, eating, drinking and sleeping to caring for his or her bed, blanket, pillow and toys...is done in a very orderly, meticulous and quiet fashion.

Indeed, an owner may not even be aware that the Virgo pet is around the majority of the time. Virgo pets do not ask for much from an owner, only some nutritious food...and they are quite finicky about what they eat...and a comfortable place to rest when they are not busy putting away their toys or straightening their beds. Virgo pets always have to be occupied with doing something. If not, they tend to feel helpless and bored.

Libra pets are included in the Cardinal signs as are Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. They are known for dynamic change, movement and great vitality.

The Libra pet makes his or her point in a peaceful fashion, coupled with class and strength. If there are other animals in the household who bicker incessantly, it will be the Libra pet who settles all the dissention. Regardless of species, animals governed by Libra will do everything in their power to keep the peace. By nature, the Libra pet is no fighter, but will often take measures to insure that harmony within the home is properly and regularly maintained.

Scorpio pets are of the Fixed signs of the Zodiac that also includes Taurus, Leo and Aquarius. These signs relate to stability, earthiness and fixity. Their determination is expressed as great willpower.

The Scorpio pet is a difficult creature to fathom. One minute he or she can be exceedingly seductive...brushing sensually up and down an owner's leg, for instance...and the next, be utterly petulant. In short, animals governed by this Zodiac Sign possess a certain mystique. They are very intense in their feeling, but an owner will not always be aware of it.

The Sagittarius pet enjoys all forms of outdoors activities...hiking, boating or running, for instance. It is far from easy to confine an animal governed by Sagittarius. Anyone who traditionally keeps his or her pet in a cage for most of the time should never own a Sagittarius pet, since the animal will soon become a very sorrowful soul indeed.

All beings ruled by this Sign need freedom, openness, fresh air and the ability to move around. Sagittarius is the most physically active Zodiac Sign and all its natives (regardless of species) must live according to those requisites. The more a Sagittarius animal can run, fly, slither, hop, trot or swim, then the happier that creature will be.

The Capricorn pet is found under the Cardinal sign along with Aries, Cancer and  Libra pets. Capricorn are the signs of dynamic change, movement and great vitality.

The Capricorn pet is anything but capricious. There is nothing whimsical about animals governed by this Sign. In short, they are steadfast and reliable. Although this may appear to be a "good deal," these very down-to-earth souls are prone to be rather dull creatures, more inclined to sit around and simply watch while other pets play.
