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 Aries pet will probably be a somewhat selfish character. In short, he or she finds it difficult to share anything...be it toys, food or owner. It is important for anyone in charge of an Aries pet to be careful of fights and this will apply to all species, since an Aries rabbit can be equally aggressive as an Aries bulldog. Whatever these animals do to show they want attention or food...or that they are angry...will be expressed in a spontaneous, powerful and belligerent fashion. It will be vital for any owner to discourage such behavior. Animals governed by this Zodiac Sign love to fight and once they start, it is almost impossible to get them to stop.Since the Sign of Aries rules the head, this pet will probably use that area of the body when displaying any form of aggression. For example, while a cat is usually known to "bat" with his or her paws, the feline governed by Aries may choose to "ram" the head into an owner or some other unsuspecting animal. By the same token, it will be necessary for any owner to regularly check the teeth, gums, eyes, nose, ears and general head area of the Aries pet for any unusual ailments. Animals ruled by Aries should be kept out of extreme heat since they are more susceptible to rashes and heat-induced problems, especially during the Summer months. It is probably best to avoid having more than one Aries pet at any given time...particularly if the pets are going to intermingle, such as animals of the same species. These creatures may get along wonderfully for the most part, each enjoying the abundant energy of the other, but these are extremely physical souls and it would not be out of character for them to pick fights with one another for no discernable reason. In addition, because these are very physical animals, they will be exceedingly active, relishing many different kinds of physical interaction other than simply scrapping. The Aries pet also posseses a rather overwhelming desire to mate. He or she will be the most likely to disappear in search of amorous adventures. Thus, it will be necessary to maintain a safe and secure yard or home. Any animal governed by this Sign requires an abundance of exercise. A large, open area where he or she can run, fly, gallop or hop freely and happily would be ideal. If the Aries pet must be restrained, then the enclosure should be spacious and allow for plenty of movement. In addition, the animal must be provided freedom outside the enclosure as often as possible.
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. Along those lines, once an owner does arrive at wherever the Taurus pet happens to be snoozing or luxuriating (which is a typical trait of this Zodiac Sign), some form of service will be fully expected by the animal...perhaps a tummy rub or special treat upon which to munch at leisure. Simply put, the Taurus pet is a slow animal in almost every respect and he or she will certainly take life easy. For example, the Taurus cat can sit longer than any other feline, contemplating his or her surroundings. The Taurus dog harbors no desire to go anywhere...often for hours on end...in order to feel content and totally at peace. The Taurus horse will have no problem standing in the stable all week, until the owner decides to drag him or her out for a reluctant trot around the paddock. However, this is why the Taurus pet makes for such a wonderful traveling companion. He or she adores sitting in the car (species permitting, of course) while being chauffeured around. Still, plenty of comfortable blankets and/or pillows will be required so the Taurus pet can sprawl out during the ride. This animal is not a very active or energetic creature. He or she much prefers to just "hang out" rather than engage in much playtime. That having been said, it should be noted that the animal governed by this Sign is not totally devoid of energy. He or she actually has a goodly supply, but it is the nature of Taurus to expend energy in an extremely conservative manner. Furthermore, this is a creature that likes to be groomed, pampered and catered to. The Taurus pet will lap up all such attention and when an owner believes the job has been completed satisfactorily, the Taurus animal will think it has only just begun. Hence, the Taurus cat will adore being rubbed and caressed...the sensuous purrs informing an owner just how much this feline appreciates the loving care, even though such is expected. Regardless of species, all pets ruled by Taurus love to be groomed and a Taurus bird will relish having a mirror in the cage, so he or she can primp, pose and flex while admiring the beautiful image. While animals born under the Sign of Taurus may not be consciously aware that they are attracted to beauty, they will be automatically and instinctively drawn. They truly know...somehow...when they are around beauty and when they are not. For instance, a Taurus pup will undoubtedly chew on the prettiest pair of shoes he or she can manage to drag from the closet. Taurus pets require lots of cuddly items...soft blankets, cushy pillows and beds, for example...and as mentioned above, those items must be visually pretty for these are very aesthetically inclined creatures.Since the Sign of Taurus rules the neck and throat, this pet will be particularly sensitive or vulnerable to kinks, sore throats, colds, coughs, pulled muscles and other related ailments. A choke chain should never be used when walking a Taurus dog and all collars must sit comfortably around the neck. A regular check should be made to ensure that no collar is too tight, bearing in mind that tightness can easily change due to weight gain or the growth of fur. And while on the subject of weight gain, animals governed by this Sign are so inclined. Thus, the diet of a Taurus pet should be carefully watched and the temptation to feed him or her table scraps and/or junk food must be avoided. These are creatures who put on weight very easily. In addition, they should never be fed bones of any kind as these can lodge in the throat...the most sensitive area of a Taurus animal's body. Overall, the Taurus pet is a comforting companion. He or she will be easy to train and welcome any nice gesture an owner wants to bestow. Not given to roam, the Taurus pet will more than likely stay around the home front...not straying too far from all the luxuries that his or her abode has to offer.
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. They are also fond of constant activity...provided that activity comes in varying forms. Hence, the Gemini cat might indulge in batting a ball for five minutes and then move on to batting the dog's tail for another three, before becoming bored with the whole "batting" experience and roll around on the floor for a while. Once that has become tiresome, the feline ruled by Gemini could then choose to sit next to his or her owner on the couch, but probably only for a second or two. Similarly, the Gemini parakeet may like to sing, tug on his or her bell, inspect the image in the mirror and sway from side-to-side...all at the same time. As well as being verbose, the Gemini pet is also rather mental. It is not unusual for animals born under this Zodiac Sign to be extremely astute and catch on very quickly with regard to what is expected of them. Indeed, they actually enjoy learning a whole repertoire of tricks and commands. It is not unusual to see a Gemini pet merely observing something that a human is doing and then imitate the act. The animal ruled by Gemini will rarely become bored, provided he or she has a variety of things to do at all hours of the day. Many times, these pets function purely on nervous energy and because of this, it is important that they get sufficient rest and that their sleeping quarters be conducive to a peaceful slumber. Furthermore, even the slightest disruption should be avoided, since snoozing is like aspirin for a Gemini animal's nervous system. Many creatures perceive the world via their noses, but the Gemini animal has an extremely fine-tuned sense of smell. Many Gemini dogs are chosen to perform police work (tracking down people, drugs, weapons or any kind of contraband) courtesy of this keen olfactory functioning. Still, all five of the Gemini animal's senses tend to be very acute with extraordinarily sharp hearing and excellent eyesight (generally better than that of other Signs within the canine species). Indeed, the eyes of a Gemini pet are often said to sparkle. There is a tendency here for the animal to be particularly finicky when it comes to food, since taste is yet another sense with which the Gemini animal is especially sensitive. Hence, food provided to the Gemini pet should be very tasty and there needs to be a certain degree of variety to what is offered courtesy of the diet...with Gemini dogs, however, mealtimes should not be varied overly much. Touch is likely a sense that Gemini pets could do without. They are not particularly tactile creatures and probably will not issue an invitation to be petted very often. Animals governed by Gemini are so sensitive to touch that they might flinch or recoil at the most gentle stroke or pat. These are souls with highly nervous systems, so such typical reactions should not be taken personally by an owner...it is simply the nature of the beast.Since the Sign of Gemini rules the nervous system...as well as the arms and shoulders...unless the Gemini animal in question happens to be a primate, any owner need only be concerned about the pet's nervous system. If the pet should be a monkey or chimpanzee, then care needs to be taken to keep this pet's hands and arms away from dangerous places...garbage disposals, for instance...and that the animal is restrained from swinging overly much, to the point of a dislocated shoulder. Otherwise, an owner needs to make sure that the food provided to a Gemini pet does not affect the nervous system...particularly foods containing sugar (which should never be given to a pet in any event) and offerings of coffee should also be avoided (as it should with any animal, regardless of Zodiac Sign) to prevent any advese effects on the already very fragile nervous system. It will also be important not to agitate the pet ruled by Gemini, since he or she will already be somewhat agitated by nature. Thus, it will be vital that this pet be trained (or even played with) without him or her becoming stressed. Animals governed by this Sign of the Zodiac certainly require an abundance of variety and excitement, but they also need high degrees of tranquility and balance.
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. In essence, no demands should be made upon the Cancer pet during this time since he or she cannot be expected to respond favorably. With the exception of animals governed by the Sign of Pisces, those creatures ruled by Cancer will be the most emotional and sensitive of souls. Indeed, even pets who are not born under this Zodiac Sign tend to be somewhat influenced by the Moon's phases. The Cancer pet is otherwise a very caring animal, given to regular licking, cooing and cuddling...but he or she will also require an abundance of affection from an owner. These creatues must be provided with as much love and tenderness as possible. However, it needs to be a special type of attention, very different from that given to any other Sign. Cancer pets need plenty of quiet time...massages, kisses and an abundance of reassurance that they are truly adored. These are extremely needy creatures on an emotional level and such should not be taken lightly. Being so sensitive by nature, the animal governed by Cancer will quickly pick up any resentment or anger the owner may be harboring. In short, Cancer pets require constant emotional gratification and are far too "clingy" and needy to belong in a household where the inhabitants are seldom home. These are animals who are far happier knowing that the owner is close by...just in case they feel the need for an occasional gesture of reassurance that they are safe and, more importantly, that they are loved. The Cancer pet must be spoken to in a gentle fashion and they must be showered with lots of tender, loving care. While on the subject of showers, these animals probably would not be adverse to indulging in a bath or shower every now and again. Cancer is ruled by the element of Water, and any chance these creatures get to go swimming, take a leisurely run along the beach, or maybe even indulge in a shower or bath would greatly delight pets governed by this Zodiac Sign. The Cancer pet will likely thoroughly enjoy the company of other animals...particularly of the younger variety. Cancer animals (regardless of species or gender) possess a strong maternal instinct. If there are no younger creatures for the older Cancer animal to nurture, then he or she should be provided with a small, stuffed animal to care for.Since the Sign of Cancer rules the stomach, extra special attention should be paid to the food given to a Cancer pet. The diet needs to be carefully watched to ensure that he or she is provided with the most balanced and nutritious foods available. These animals are especially vulnerable to ulcers, upset tummies, vomiting and many other disorders that can adversely affect the alimentary canal and stomach area. Cancer animals prefer to stay at home, so there should be little if any trouble keeping them indoors. As long as the owner is in residence and these pets feel well taken care of and loved, then everything in the world of these animals is complete. However, during a Full Moon, these seemingly innocent creatures can turn into somewhat hellish beings.
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. Regardless of species, the mannerisms of a Leo animal are unmistakably feline in character, but also exceedingly elegant in execution. Hence, when the pet governed by Leo desires anything, he or she will do whatever it takes to attain results...usually by putting on a magnificent performance worthy of an animal Oscar. By nature, Leo creatures are the show-offs...the actors or actresses...of the Animal Kingdom. Leo dogs prance, Leo cats strut, Leo rabbits raise their heads in a lofty manner and Leo birds puff out their chests. In essence, the Leo pet is far from a needy soul, being very secure in his or her importance. These animals are well aware that their purpose is to protect an owner. They are fearless and fierce, but also rather conceited and possessed of a very healthy ego, which an owner would be wise not to wound. When a Leo pet is not in the mood for something...a bath, for instance...he or she will definitely make it known. Leo animals pull no punches and have a formidable temper. Their inherent charismatic charm can be turned on and off at will and they have no problem in letting an owner know who is truly the boss. These are creatures who are capable of fighting to the death if need be. They are tenancious in everything they do and refuse to stop until they get their way. The Leo pet requires an abundance of praise, recognition and adoration. In short, this animal wants to be showered with compliments...every trick should be applauded with superlative words and a supply of favored treats. Still, the tenacity of a Leo animal is not always necessarily negative. Indeed, there will be no pet more loyal than the one governed by this Zodiac Sign. By nature, this is an animal who will defend an owner, respect an owner and be a faithful companion for life...but it is important than any owner remember the word, "respect." This is of paramount importance to any Leo native, whether animal or human. Of course, all living beings should be respected, but subjects of Leo will absolutely demand it. If an owner is out of line with a Leo pet, then that pet will have no qualms in expressing disapproval of such ungracious behavior. To an animal ruled by Leo, adultation, loyalty and total devotion to an owner are not unconditional...and are certainly not bestowed free of charge.Since the Sign of Leo rules the heart, spine and back, these pets are especially vulnerable to weak hearts, heart attacks and disorders related to the back and spinal areas. Still, these are extremely hardy souls who rarely suffer major health problems, particularly when they are well taken care of. If a household contains more than one pet...and one of those pets is a Leo...it will be necessary to ensure that the Leo animal is allowed to be "leader of the pack." If two or more animals are governed by this Sign, then there could well be a problem. By nature, Leo is a natural born leader and he or she is aware of that fact. A Leo dog makes for a magnificent watch dog, but he or she should not simply be tossed outside and left there to act as house sentry without plenty of respectful love and attention from the owner. He or she will certainly defend the post as dogmatically as he or she will defend the owner...but beneath all that bravado is a very tender heart that should not be ignored or neglected under any circumstances.
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. The pet ruled by this Sign should be given practical activities as often as possible...being taught a new trick that can be useful such as bringing in the newspaper, for example, or switching on the lights when it gets dark. Virgo animals are extremely intelligent, very quick to learn and are blessed with a magnificent memory. No matter what is taught to the self-sufficient Virgo pet, an owner will never have to worry about the lesson being forgotten. Animals ruled by this Zodiac Sign are more than delighted to be of service to an owner...whatever that owner wishes will be the Virgo pet's command. Virgo is inherently the Sign of service, so it will be this creature's natural tendency to desire to follow through with anything that is asked of him or her. Indeed, the motto of a Virgo pet is probably best described as, "eager to please." Yet, the creature governed by Virgo can be somewhat ornery, since the energy associated with this Sign can make both its human and animal natives rather cranky. In the case of a Virgo pet, this could manifest itself in the propensity to snap or become annoyed over trivial things. This is not necessarily typical behavior of the Virgo animal, but it does surface from time to time. If a pet does display this type of conduct, then it would be best for an owner to simply write it off as a harmless idiosyncrasy. For the most part, the Virgo animal will probably behave like an angel...always anxious to comply with an owner's wishes and do his or her best to not get in anybody's way. Virgo pets are inherently very clean souls, constantly grooming themselves and maintaining relatively neat surroundings, but an owner should be prepared help out when and where needed. The hutch of the Virgo rabbit should be cleaned regularly so that he or she has a litter box with fresh shavings at all times. The Virgo bird's water and food containers should always be freshly filled and the cage maintained to expected standards of tidiness. Of course, all pets' things should be clean and well taken care of, but the Virgo animal is particularly picky in this regard and will let an owner know...in some manner...if everything is not in order.Since the Sign of Virgo rules the intestines and the nervous system, particular care should be taken with the food consumed by a Virgo pet. Yogurt or acidophilus may be offered on occasion, since the live cultures in these food items will keep the sensitive innards of a Virgo animal functioning smoothly and regularly. Dogs, cats and rabbits alike generally adore acidophilus and/or yogurt and so, is beneficial to the diets of these animals. However, a veterinarian should be consulted prior to giving these foods to any other species. It is not uncommon for the Virgo pet to become somewhat edgy or agitated every so often...especially when he or she has nothing to do. Deprive the Virgo animal of an agenda, and he or she will expend an abundance of nervous energy doing nothing...except possibly chewing on whatever is handy and/or being testy with an owner or other household pets. The Virgo pet also requires plenty of sleep. No other Zodiac Sign...with the possible exception of Gemini...needs as much sleep as does the Virgo animal. To a Virgo pet, slumber is akin to the oil that prevents his or her nervous system from getting rusty. It is important not to become offended if the Virgo animal seems a tad more independent than the owner might prefer. As much as this animal desires to please, he or she also expects some free time alone. Hence, an owner should not be concerned if the Virgo pet selects a clean but remote corner to take an afternoon nap, or to simply sit back and relax while observing all the action from afar. This is the method by which the Virgo animal recharges his or her delicate system in order to be bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and faithfully ready to serve...with that characteristically unerring Virgo precision and unending devotion.
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. It is not easy to incite an animal ruled by this Zodiac Sign to go into battle, since he or she will usually just try to avoid a squabble or stop one...but on occasion, he or she is obliged to be tough in order to pull this off. Thus, any other pets in the house will certainly harbor a resentful respect for this Libra peacekeeper. However, if there are no other animals in the home, this can result in something of a downside, since Libra thrives on companionship. If an owner is always at home, then the Libra pet will be perfectly content. He or she just needs to know that someone is around...someone to love and nurture him or her. These are very caring and endearing souls who not only require love, but also need an object of love. However, Libra animals do not necessarily seek physical affection and are far from emotionally needy or clinging. By nature, those governed by Libra are quite self-sufficient, provided they are confident in the knowledge that they have a companion...somewhere. In addition, they do not necessarily have to be near an owner all the time. They simply need to know that they belong and that they are part of the family. Though not particularly tactile, the Libra pet does enjoy a gentle tummy rub (or something similar that is suitable for the pet in question) from time to time. Still, for the most part, these creatures would rather be socializing with other pets in the neighborhood or admiring some new toy that their owner could not resist buying for their pleasure and enjoyment. It would be foolish to expect the Libra animal to seek out an owner to engage in a cuddling session. Although the emotional needs here are high, these are generally met by the animal simply sharing an owner's company. As previously stated, these pets are not so much into touching as they are to relating. As long as the Libra animal is not left out and is made to feel part of what is going on, then he or she will be perfectly and happily satisifed. As a general rule, Libra animals are extremely attractive creatures...but it is not always good looks that make these creatures so lovely. It could be the manner in which they stride or prance, or the way they toss their heads, for example. Whatever it may be, the Libra animal will always be an eye-catcher and regardless of species or breed, this pet will stand out as having a certain flair. Animals governed by this Zodiac Sign are undoubtedly charming creatures, blessed with the ability to wrap owners around their paws, claws or hooves in order to get what they want. This can be achieved with such subtlety that an owner will not even be aware of the manipulative and soulful glances...or any other charming attention-getting device that the Libra pet will utilize. These animals harbor a deep-rooted desire to be noticed and wanted. Indeed, these are basic requirements if they are to always feel content and balanced.Since the Sign of Libra rules the kidneys, it will be vital for the Libra pet to receive plenty of clean and purified water at all times. He or she should be encouraged to drink as often as possible in order to keep the kidneys in tip-top shape and avoid problems related to that area of the body.
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. If a Scorpio pet grows miffed at being shooed away, he or she does not display the hurt by whining or begging for attention. Rather, he or she becomes withdrawn...aloof and cold. The only clue an owner might sense of this disapproval is a fixed and impenetrable stare from the vividly mysterious eyes. The Scorpio animal is the one creature who refuses to try and make amends or smooth things over like most other noble pets try to do. It would be wise not to get too close to an offended or reprimanded Scorpio animal, since he or she could have any number of plans of attack in mind. If another pet in the household has been annoying the animal governed by Scorpio, the latter may tolerate this aggravation for a while, but then one day when least expected, will launch an assault...an assault that could be exceedingly savage in nature. Nevertheless, Scorpio creatures are generally unswervingly loyal and fixedly devoted souls, the likes of which are rarely seen in animals born under any other Sign, with the possible exception of those ruled by Leo. One interesting characteristic about Scorpio pets is that if they feel betrayed or abused by an owner, then they are known to either retaliate in vicious fashion or simply ignore the owner altogether. The Scorpio pet can often appear more human than any of his or her Zodiac cousins due to the petty...yet subtle...means he or she will employ to express scorn. Animals governed by this Sign demand respect and when that respect is disregrded, then these pets will looks for ways to wreak revenge. The feelings of the Scorpio animal are so deep that an owner may often do double-takes, wondering if there could possibly be a human lurking somewhere beneath the outer coat of fur, feathers or scales. For an owner to even contemplate abandonment or giving the Scorpio pet away would result in tragedy. This is a soul who will be devoted to one person and one person only...and such devotion is for life. Scorpio pets have an extremely difficult time is adapting to a different owner...to say nothing of developing any loyalty. Scorpio animals probably differ from pets born under the other Zodiac Signs in that they are usually much less playful and much more serious. They tend to be observant of everything that is taking place. Indeed, an owner may not even be aware that the Scorpio pet is in the vicinity...so quiet will be his or her stealthy movements and overall behavior. Another major characteristic of creatures ruled by Scorpio is possessiveness...with everything, including the owner. No other pet should be allowed to play with his or her toys, lie in his or her bed, eat his or her food, or make any form of overtures toward the owner. To do so will lead to a pet who could become vituperative or just plain mean. Scorpio animals make for wonderful companions, provided they are not provoked and nobody gets in their way. There is a tendency here for the pet governed by this Sign to be rather unsociable. Thus, whether or not there are any other animals in the household is usually of no consequence to the snooty Scorpio pet. He or she will be just as happy being alone, quietly vigilant of all the happenings in the home and making sure that there is no interference with what this animal considers to be personal property.Since the Sign of Scorpio rules the reproductive organs, the Scorpio pet may appear to be more amorous than what is generally thought to be normal. In actual fact, this is the norm for animals governed by Scorpio. Even well into their dotage, Scorpio animals will exhibit an interest in the opposite sex. Hence, spaying and neutering (if appropriate for the species, of course) will be the safest way to avoid potential problems.
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. This pet's physical activity should be restricted as little as possible, since the animal's physical and emotional well-being depend greatly upon being able to be out and about, roaming freely. Here, the pet/owner relationship should be quite healthy. What an owner sees in this animal is exactly what that owner will get. This is an open and enthusiastic soul, sufficiently flexible to try just about anything an owner requires, particularly if any form of movement is involved. Adaptable and active, the Sagittarius pet can be taken anywhere...in a car, boat, plane or recreational vehicle. The constitution of this animal is sturdy, so there will be no worries related to motion sickness or any ailments of that nature. Still, care should be taken that this animal does not push it too far. An owner needs to ensure that the Sagittarius pet gets enough rest in order to maintain his or her high energy level in optimal condition. There are not likely to be many health problems here...other than those that this pet may "run into" while off on an adventure. An owner needs to make sure that he or she knows of this pet's whereabouts at all times, and that protection is provided from any type of danger which could threaten this innocent and child-like creature. Sagittarius animals are known to be accident prone and this should be borne in mind with regard to the somewhat careless and mischievous Sagittarius pet. This is an independent spirit, so there is no need for an owner to be around all the time...although it would be nice for the Sagittarius pet to have a friend to romp with when the owner is nowhere to be found, since this animal is prone to suffer from boredom if there is nothing to do. The animal governed by this Sign is not one to lie quietly. The only thing he or she will be counting on is having fun and if there is any trouble to be gotten into, the Sagittarius pet is sure to find it. Extremely playful creatures, Sagittarius pets never seem to get tired...their energy supply apparently being inexhaustible. Therefore, if an owner does not possess the same type of stamina, then it would be best to get the Sagittarius pet a friendly companion...but one who is equal in energy levels, such as an animal governed by Gemini or Aries or Leo, or even another Sagittarius.Since the Sign of Sagittarius rules the legs, it is particularly vital that the Sagittarius pet be free to romp around as much as possible. Even if the pet happens not to possess legs...a fish or snake, for example...he or she will still require an abundance of exercise and all the other traits associated with Sagittarius will still apply. For the limbed variety of Sagittarius pet, an owner needs to ensure that the animal's legs remain in top condition...strong and well-formed. A careful watch should be kept for possible ailments such as swelling, bruising, bone breakage or malformation. In general, however, the animal governed by this Sign is healthy overall and the legs are usually his or her strong point. This is an interesting fact, since most areas of the body ruled by specific Signs are rendered vulnerable and weak to those who fall under its jurisdiction. This is not so for subjects of Sagittarius and this is a pet who will be fun and fun-loving...playful, gregarious, happy and constantly active. He or she will rarely tire of anything, except doing nothing.
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. This is likely an extremely serious animal...one who also takes life very seriously but, most importantly, takes an owner very seriously. There will not be much in the way of fun and games with this pet and he or she is sure to follow the rules to the letter. Being exceedingly intelligent, the Capricorn animal will quickly learn what is expected of him or her and will execute same with supreme pleasure. Indeed, it is obedience and sense of duty here that probably makes this stoic pet somewhat boring. There is no doubt that he or she thrives on duty and doing what is right. Still, for the owner who prefers an animal that comes with no surprises and does not want to worry about what the creature is getting up to all the time, then the Capricorn pet is an ideal companion. Animals governed by this Sign will learn all the tricks an owner is willing to teach and there will be not one solitary flaw in their performances. They may move a little slowly and their motto might well be, "Better safe than sorry," but these are sure-footed souls and there will probably be no slips-ups on their behalf. The Capricorn pet will not be particularly warm or affectionate. This is a rather rigid animal, but he or she will bestow devotion and loyalty upon an owner. Obedience is also a given, as is impeccable behavior...just not an abundance of licks and/or nudges for affection.Since the Sign of Capricorn rules the skeleton, knees and teeth, the food offered to this animal should be full of nutrients, vitamins and minerals...especially calcium and magnesium...in order to keep the bones and teeth strong. The Capricorn dog should never be given regular meat bones, since the gristle could get caught in the teeth...or even worse, in the throat. This canine should be offered chewing items that are unlikely to splinter or break into small pieces...chewables that will truly work at keeping the teeth and gums clean and healthy. Animals governed by Capricorn are rarely the most active of creatures, so a special effort needs to made to ensure they get plenty of exercise. This will keep the bones in particular in good condition. The Capricorn animal should never be fed salty foods or this could result in arthritis. Some animals ruled by this Zodiac Sign do require additional salt in their diet...such as rabbits from a salt lick, for example...so it should not be eliminated in such cases, regardless of the governing Sign. It is not uncommon for Capricorn pets to live to a ripe old age and they will probably live longer than animals born under any other Sign, regardless of species. Often, as the Capricorn pet grows older (usually after the age of five), he or she seems to become younger in outlook and attitude. These are animals who tend to start out slow and stodgy...often apparently depressed with no interest in anything...and then, over time, transform into creatures who are spry, upbeat and happy. Indeed, Capricorn is one Sign in which there is a dramatic change in temperament with advancing years. Even though the Capricorn pet might not be the most animated soul in the household (at least in his or her youth), an owner can rest assured that this will certainly be a steadfast, obedient and trustworthy companion...for a very long time.
