Welcome to the Aries Room!

Hot and fiery, you always like to be at the head of things.

Now go ahead and find out everything about your zodiac sign inside out!

Aries

Aries the Ram Ruled by Mars

A Masculine Positive Cardinal Fire sign

Polar or Opposite sign: Libra

Colour - Shades of Red.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, lasting from March 21 - April 20. Aries represents springtime, the burgeoning of new life and a great upsurge of energy and optimism. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and this gives the sign its adventurous spirit. Blessed with abundant energy and drive, Arians have no time for laziness and make excellent motivators, whether at work or at home. Negative Arian characteristics arise out of their driven nature. They are childishly egocentric, extremely demanding and liable to throw tantrums if denied their own way.

Physical Appearance:

They tend to be angular, slim people in early life, although they may fill out later. Rarely graceful, they seem awkward and ill at ease in their bodies, with particularly sharp elbows and knees.

Relationships:

While in love Arians can be possessive and jealous, yet they are faithful and rather idealistic. Passionate and incurably romantic, both male and female Arians tend towards joyous sex and close relationships throughout their lives. Always demanding, all Arians will expect, rather than give, support, although they can be motivated to save a relationship if their hearts are really engaged.

Career:

Arians are made for adventure, whether it takes the form of dealing with `futures' on the money market or hacking their way through the Amazonian forest. They direct their energy and spirit of enterprise to sensible and useful ends in order to further their ambition. They are ill at ease with boring and repetitive jobs, and thrive on challenges. They can be enterprising and excellent motivators of a workforce.

Health:

Arians are always in a tearing hurry and often have a fast metabolism, which keeps their weight down. However, constant speed has its drawbacks. They are prone to stress and suffer from tension headaches, but they rarely follow a course of medication or a treatment through to the end.

IdealPartner:

Arians need support and encouragement, so their ideal partner belongs to one of the Earth signs, either Taurus or Virgo.

( A R I E S - A b o u t Y o u )

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

You are concerned with the world only as it relates to yourself. Deceptiveness and deviousness are entirely foreign to your nature. You also lack stability and show a child-like shirking of responsibility. Although you are the firebrand, and forge your way ahead with daring, initiative and enterprise, there's a strange quirk to your bravery.

Your weak point is that you have no patience for detail. You are totally consumed in the action of the present. A realist, yet a decided idealist, you often defy emotional description. You don't wait around for success to drop in your lap, either.

You as a man:

You are a picture of passionate ardour one minute, and are as icy as a polar bear the next. When it comes to love, your heedless attitude is absolutely amazing. You plunge into an affair, positive that this is the only true love ever known by any two people ever born. When it breaks in half, you will pick up the pieces, and try every angle you can think of to salvage the dead romance.

You are a natural rebel. You demand the same fierce loyalty that you give, in both love and friendship. You want your woman to be completely independent,yet stay a few paces behind.

You as a woman:

You will open your own doors. You are rather a pushover for flattery, if it has an honest base. Your loyalty in love is gigantic, as long as the sentiment remains. You are generous to a fault with your time and sympathy. But when it comes to love, you are downright stingy.

You think love is equal sharing. You admire strength and try to imitate it. You will throw away fame or fortune defiantly in the face of anyone who hurts a friend of yours.

You can be unreasonably temperamental, and create some violent scenes. But you never hold a grudge, seek revenge, indulge in self-pity or bitterness.

You as a child:

As an Aries infant, you are the boss. There's not a subtle bone in your strong, active, broad-shouldered little body.

You are usually affectionately demonstrative. You will share your toys with amazing generosity. However, your generosity will end if one of them hurts your feelings or gets in the way of something you want to do or somewhere you want to go.

You can breeze through your studies, if you apply yourself. For all your rash, domineering ways, your idealism is sensitive and it bruises with the slightest bump.

You will have to learn responsibility, and you will appreciate this faster through direct logic and honest affection.

( A R I E S - L o v e )

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Scorpio

You love the chase and will do whatever it takes to get the prize you desire. But you will wonder if the prize is worth keeping. You will take risks during the chase and would love your beloved to do the same. This give and take adds sparks to your relationship. A mental attraction for you is often the first step and the indicator as to whether things will progress. You love being told you are the best.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Leo

You are overflowing with passion, love of life, and personal magnetism. Your flamboyance and grand nature is rarely matched, and you love the attention you attract. You treat love as a fun experience, and love all beautiful things in life. Your energies are often organised and directed. You would make an excellent lover, as it gratifies you to see others enjoying themselves with the same intensity you do. You are creative and playful, and of course, passionate about it all. But being passionate means laying your king-sized ego to rest. If not, it may be curtains for you and your partner. You are willful, so just a little bit of effort will go a long way. You offer generosity to your lovers and are happiest when your love is reciprocated.

You in relationship:

You are demanding and passionate, and need an equally self-possessed lover to stimulate you. You can be fiercely loyal, yet self-centered at the same time. So your partner needs to exhibit confidence and know when to give you your space. The occasional bouts of temper exhibited by you are best dealt with if they are used as a prelude to a deeper understanding. You will stick with a relationship as long as it's hot, but if things start to cool down, it won't be long before you hit the road. The ideal Aries soul mate may be someone who is never dull.

Are you in love

You are moving target where love is concerned, always looking, seeking and finding. It can be very hard to resist your magnetic charms. The aura surrounding you is one of intensity and intrigue, so many are game. This is exactly what you want: many opportunities to play the game of love. Some things will work, and some won't, but the game is surely fun! The beauty of it all is that you flourish in love, becoming a more sensuous, understanding and feeling soul. As long as you remember how to share, things can go far.

Getting intimate:

You are intense where sex is concerned and love the hunt -- that steady pursuit of the ultimate prize. You are a physical and fearless lover and blessed with the stamina to go on. You are not afraid to experiment sexually in your quest for pleasure, which means an open-minded lover is a must. You will be the dominant sexual partner, and prefer a mental connection with eroticism.

What you need:

You don't generally need hearts and flowers to give you a warm glow. Finding a partner who is equally strong and self-possessed is important to you. The person who can draw you out and make you better is a keeper. It also helps if your partner can handle the occasional fiery argument and master the art of making up. You are passionate, adventurous and energetic. Those who can stand the heat will be rewarded with a loyal companion who will take them to greater heights.

You must Know

What you should do:

Meet the Aries eye to eye. The Ram likes to make eye contact, and what do you know, he will notice the new outfit in the process.

Be prepared for anything. Your Aries lover will serenade you in true Romeo fashion, and ask you to bungee jump with him the next day.

Be bold. No coyness for the Aries lover. Your free, independent spirit will be appreciated, so have fun!

Expect a lot of fun along the way. Your Aries lover will play a practical joke on you just as you are out of bed, and surprise you with floral bouquets.

Bask in the glory of your Aries lover's passion.

What you should not do:

Don't be too possessive. Rest assured, your Aries lover will be faithful, but if you attempt to stifle his freedom, he will slip out of your grasp.

Don't try to get his attention by flirting with other men. Don't talk about ex-flames, either. Your Aries man will have a roving eve, but he belongs to you. Stooping down will only send him packing.

Don't be too critical of his friends. Give him the space he needs.

Don't dampen your Aries lover's enthusiasm. He is exuberant, and you have to pretend to cruise along, even if you are not interested. What is a little play-acting to make sure that your Aries man stays with you?

Don't play hard to get. This could prove fatal, as the Aries man will take it for rejection and go away.

Sign Speak:

I'm on fire. Can I run through your sprinkler?

( A R I E S - L i f e S t y l e )

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

You are a trendsetter, mind you. Your greatest pleasure lies in people taking note of the clothes you wear. And if they wish their wardrobe could get better than yours, even better. You were probably the first one to try the new-length mini skirt. You like perfumes with florid, heady undertones, and you should call attention to your piercing eyes with bold shadow choices and well-groomed brows.

You are game for anything new, but you have your set choices. Your sexy, red lipstick probably has a place of honour in your purse. And yes, the more vibrant the reds are, the better. No muted shades for you! You are comfortable with starting off things, but never get down to finishing them. You probably bought a new jar of fairness cream, and soon forgot all about it. Last season's discarded colors and half-used lotions pile up beneath your sink and clutter up your vanity. Although potions you love certainly help you shine, your true beauty comes from your spontaneity and willingness to experiment. You have your best foot forward all the time. This runs colour up your cheeks, and is one blush make-up cannot achieve!

You, the fitness freak:

You are always on the go. With huge outbursts of energy, you like to be on the move. Like all Fire Signs, you are powerful, animated and brave As an Aries, you are impatient and you always want to be first. Second place just isn't good enough. Challenges excite you, but only if you're going to win. It may be hard to hold your attention, so routine bores you easily. You don’t enjoy working out, going to the gym every day or running laps. High impact aerobics and Tae-Bo, however, may be right up your alley. Any new fads or action-packed sports like auto racing and roller derbies are right up your sleeve. Be careful, though -- Aries rules the head and are prone to head injuries. Always wear a helmet!

Fashionably Yours:

You never get tired of running the race, do you? And it would be better if you could set standards! You have an innate sense of adventure, and are willing to try anything just for fun.

Forget shop racks, your cupboard is likely to stock the latest trends. Maybe you were the first one to wear the new-length skirt. Or pierce your belly button. And that is exactly what you want.

You would die for black and red clothing. You shun the conservative look, and your closet is full of clothes in all shapes and sizes. And you can carry it all off with élan!

As far as makeup goes, dramatic eyes do you best, with bright red lipstick to match your fiery hair. Your Sign rules the head, so your best accessory is a hat and sparkling diamonds to adorn your neck and fingers.

Travel and you:

You are the pioneer of the Zodiac, and this holds true even in the case of travel. Ever on the go and seeking action, you are a moving target. You constantly ask what your agenda for the day is. You will not hang around very long for an answer, as you'll soon be someplace else. You have a thirst for knowledge about diverse issues like who built those pyramids in Giza. Hopping from one place to the next, you set the agenda and expect others to follow it. No takers? Well, you are happy to travel alone, in which case you'll seek some company along the way, even if only for a meal or a night.

Your Taste buds:

Aries loves variety. Remember, this is a Fire Sign we are dealing with, so food has to be hot and spicy. Rams hate bland things and like to spice up their meals with basil, cinnamon and curry. When cooking for an Aries, remember: the redder, the better.

( A R I E S - L e i s u r e T a l k )

LEISURE TALK

Books:

The Ram is always in a hurry, so a quick read is what he seeks. Short stories and thrillers suit the turbo-charged Aries. Favourite books could include Edgar Allen Poe's stories, and some of Stephen King's shorter works.

Chocolates:

The Aries loves chocolates, and could eat any amount in one sitting.

Movies:

The Ram loves a chill up his spine. While the others are screaming their lungs out, the Aries will sit back and enjoy the spectacle. Favourite films might include The Sixth Sense or adrenaline-pumping Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbusters like The Terminator, or maybe the slapstick comedy of Jackie Chan.

Music:

The Ram likes to be the leader here, too. You were probably listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers while they were a back alley band. You have a penchant for weird band names. Your type of music causes your parents to cover their ears.

Restaurants:

Always on the go and ready to rush off to the next big thing, you have no time for food. Maybe fast food was invented for you. When dining in a restaurant, try a variety of appetisers, which will suit your investigative nature.

Sports:

The robust Ram puts his athletic energy to use in activities like sprinting, running the marathon or karate.

Television:

The Sports channel might just be the most-watched at home. You lose sleep over every important game on television. Add to it a good action film over the weekend, and your day is made! You don't understand why people make soppy romances at all.

Pets:

Your Aries pet will keep you on your toes all the time. So you had better be ready for those workouts. This pet is not a wallflower. Aries pets know exactly what they want, and will make a lot of noise to make sure that they get it. This is not exactly good behaviour, but you will excuse it, considering what good pals these pets will make.

Your Aries pet is a regular show-off, ready with a bag of tricks to entertain visitors. This is also an assertive animal, so canines in particular can be expected to be staunch protectors of the home. This pet will tire you, for he is action-oriented and revels in frisky, fun-filled games.

This is one pet which will need a lot of room. So if you live in an apartment, your canine is likely to feel edgy all the time. Your pet is also fiercely competitive, and will want to show that he is the best. Think up of new games for your pet, and you will have a loyal friend for life. As Aries rules the head, eyes and ears, be mindful of these areas on your pet.

Gifts:

The Aries man likes to be on his feet, so any gift that adds value to his athletic hobby would be acceptable to him. The Aries man is also fun-loving, so try gifting him a miniature golf kit, and see him fall in love. Aries rules the head, face and brain, so any gift item or clothing associated with those parts of the body would be appropriate. The gift that challenges them, starts a new project or hobby or utilises some of their intense physical energy will be appreciated most.

Great gifts:

A Polaroid camera, computer games, sunglasses, a shaving kit, a coffee maker, tickets to a sporting event, a how-to video or book for a new hobby, portable CD player, a puzzle.

( A R I E S - L u c k y F o r Y o u )

CAREER

You, the employee:

Hiring you can be the smartest move anyone has ever made or the largest headache. You're more likely than any of the other employees to accept additional assignments without complaining. You will be prepared to labour until the wee hours for an exciting project. You are constitutionally unable to keep to a tight and uniform schedule, regardless of standard office procedure. Your great, creative energy bursts upon you at all hours, and it can't be adjusted to fit someone's idea of the proper working day. One thing you can't stand is to turn in imperfect work. Money is never your prime reason for working.

You take orders willingly from very few people, since you do not believe in universal superiority. Few people can equal you in bringing in new accounts, saving customers who were hopelessly lost and putting over the largest, most ambitious schemes that can be devised-especially when you think you are heavily relied on to come through.

You will do well without the conventional rap on the knuckles. You will be the first to apologise for errors you've committed through your natural haste and impulsiveness, if you're met halfway, and you'll sincerely try not to repeat them. Criticism will never accomplish its intended purpose with you. You have an uncanny ability to understand today with clarity. Unless you are allowed to promote, create and originate, you consider yourself worthless. There are no special places where you thrive best. The fields of advertising and public relations attract you, since they give you a chance to promote your talents.

You, the colleague:

You do battle for your independence! You like to think you are boss, and you must decide early on as to where you should draw the line. You will want to take the lead, but if there is a little give-and take, you can share a beautiful working relationship with all your co-workers.

Careers and you:

You are competitive and love the game, whether it's business or life. You hate to lose, which means you will probably win. You like being the leader - you like to start projects and blaze the trail for colleagues. You are considerate of your colleagues and display enthusiasm and courage in the workplace. One thing you crave is adventure. Preachy staff meetings are a snore, since you would much rather be out in the field closing a key client. New challenges need to come at a fast and furious pace for you.

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are gutsy and spirited, the go-getter of the zodiac. You like to hog the limelight and win! This quality might get you into a financial tight spot but invariably you manage to wriggle out of it. Very often, money to you is nothing more than the "currency" which will enable you to get what you want. Are you security conscious? You are not keen on the idea of a nest-egg. You live for the moment and do not believe in saving for a rainy day. You are also messy with repaying loans. The flip side of this is that if you have a couple of bucks on hand, you'd be more than happy to lend them.

Stretch the buck:

Given a choice between fame and fortune, you are happy with the latter. You will laugh your way to the bank all your life, and this attitude stems from an incredible will to succeed. You always like to be in the thick of things, and this can get you into trouble, especially when the money is concerned. But trust you to wiggle out of such a situation! You will draw up elaborate plans of getting rich, since the quest for fortune is more important to you than the result. Moving your agenda forward is top priority, even if the agenda isn't fiscally sound. Very often, money to you is a source of inspiration to surge ahead. You consider security frivolous, and love a touch-and-go situation. People must not expect a nest-egg from you. You would much rather cherish your freedom, than worry your head over figures.

You love a bit of a gamble, and this could wreck havoc on the chequebook. You are a tough customer when it comes to repaying money. Loan repayment is not hot on your priority list.

T A U R U S ( April 21 - May 21 )

Welcome to the Taurus Room!

Stubborn and dependable, you are blessed with a bullish

steadiness, which is your very own. What are you waiting for? Know more!

Taurus

Ruled by Venus

A Feminine Negative Fixed Earth Sign

Polar or Opposite Sign: Scorpio

Colour: Shades of verdant green.

Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac, lasting from April 21 - May 21. Sensualists par excellence, Taureans love all forms of self-expression. They are reliable, responsible, and affectionate, with strong artistic leanings and a winning way with money. They are patient, determined and possessed of enormous reserves of strength and common sense.

Taureans are liable to fierce possessiveness. Their negativity is expressed in dullness, stubbornness and resistance to change.

Physical Appearance:

Their stature varies from short to medium to stocky. Taureans' delicate hands and feet reveal a strong artistic streak. Their eyes are bright and soulful and they carry themselves gracefully.

Relationships:

Taureans are intense and passionate. They demand perfection from their mate and are exacting, but there is no malice behind this. This makes them ardent and fascinating lovers. They make charming company and are loyal and devoted. They are essentially traditional, and are conformists.

Career:

Taureans have a wide spread of potential careers, right from banking to the fine arts. They opt for stability and will hold on to one job for the rest of their working lives. Gritty, dogged and strong, they rise to tackle any major crisis. If a Taurus person fails to realise ambition early in life, the struggle will continue until a goal is reached.

Health:

Traditionally, Taureans are endowed with a vigorous constitution and splendid health. If there is a weak point, it is usually their throat or neck. Taureans are often martyrs to obesity and find themselves hopelessly addicted to food and alcohol. Most are content with conventional medicine and make good patients.

Ideal Partner:

Taureans seek emotional stability and financial security. They vibe best with one of their own kind - another Taurean.

( T A U R U S - A b o u t y o u )

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

Your volatile Taurean temper is seldom displayed impulsively, but when you get mad, you can destroy everything in your path. Speaking of obstinacy, there's no use telling you that you're obstinate. You think you are not stubborn at all. You're patient. It's just a matter of semantics.

You have a fixed opinion in every matter, and it is no use trying to pry you away. Still, you can also claim the virtue of patience with justification. There's nothing small about you, including your capacity for lasting love and your potential for wealth. Eventually, success will come to you, and you will be ready. Because the far-off Venus showers you with the love of luxury, you pay dearly for your possessions and treasure them for a lifetime.

You as a man:

You can be a tender, gentle and protective lover. Your sentimental gestures and pleasantly earthy wooing can be just as satisfying as the soulful, poetic sighs of more colourful lovers.

You're extremely patient, but are not willing to waste an entire lifetime on a lost cause. You are kind, gentle and truly tolerant. You'll do anything in the world for the woman you love except allow her to wear the pants.
Your financial affairs are usually secure. Few of you will fail to accumulate at least security, if not wealth.

You as a woman:

You have more moral and emotional courage than many a tough male, but you have enough confidence in your own sex to let your man be the boss.

When you run across someone you dislike, you don't start a big campaign to destroy him. You show frigid indifference to your enemies, but if you count someone as a friend, you'll be loyal through all ups and downs. Your perspective normally remains straight and true, with no twists and turns.

You can be a tower of strength. You're seldom demanding, except in the area of loyalty, and your disposition is generally even, down-to-earth and pleasant.

You as a child:

You are emotionally stable, seldom subject to deep moods of depression, fits of impulsiveness or tendencies to show off. Your disposition is normally calm and pleasant.

You quietly mind your own business. However, if forced, you turn into a silent, moody, cruel adult.

You must be treated gently and logically. Even when you're very young, your mind will respond to common sense.

You will be industrious in school, learn your lessons methodically and have excellent powers of concentration. You are ordinarily quite obedient. Your mind absorbs slowly, but you never forget what you've learned, once a fact or date is mastered.

( T A U R U S - L o v e F o r Y o u )

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Cancer

Sweetness is your best recipe. You are extremely responsive, and if a tender glance comes with champagne and roses, the better. You value material pleasures, and would live to share them with your lover. Security and possessions are important to you, and someone who provides these things will quickly make it to the top of your list.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Capricorn

You are extremely determined. You have tremendous endurance and tenacity to accomplish what you put your mind to. You are focused and practical, and can direct your energies to get to your goal. You work hard, and are a respectable, determined lover, worker, and friend. You are willing to put in the time it takes to build a relationship that is truly satisfying and mutually beneficial. Your lover will find you stable, thoughtful and down to earth. Your potency attracts people who admire you and recognise you for your efforts and practical nature. Sensuality and an underlying passionate nature make you an excellent catch for anyone who enjoys peace, stability, and a no-nonsense approach to life. You offer stability to your relationships and are happiest when you and your partner are working toward a common goal.

You in Relationships:

You are committed, and make a wonderful partner. You take your time, and a slow and steady courtship is more your style. This quality alone is enough to win people over. You enjoy a close relationship, and the affection and intimacy this provides. You are also strong enough to be the power in a relationship. You do love being pampered, and regular gifts will keep you interested.

Are you in Love?

You can appear a bit stuffy on the outside, being an earth sign. This, however, is only half the story. In reality, you are a smouldering lover waiting for the right moments. You need to be safe and pampered, but will flourish if a lover can convince you to take a risk. You are very focused in affairs of the heart, the risk being that possessiveness may step in. Consequently, monogamy with a certain degree of autonomy is the best balance for you.

Getting Intimate:

You love amazing things, and that makes you truly alluring. In private, you are an intense partner, and quite happy to have sensual encounters. For you, fantasy has to be punctuated by the right cues to take you along. Sex as a release from the more practical aspects of life is often all that you want.

What You Need:

You need someone who is strong and practical, qualities you value in your own life. Someone bringing good gifts would also score points. You need to feel safe, and that is the best way to win you over. You are dependable and considerate, someone who wants to be in a beautiful world and have that special someone to share it with. Anyone lucky enough to enter that world will find a sensual soul waiting to be nurtured and explored.

You must know

What you should do:

Perfect the art of whipping up a gourmet meal. And top it with candlelight and romantic music.

Share quality time with your Taurus. Five-minute meetings when you have something else in mind will not work. When you give time to the Taurus, give all of it.

Be assured of a shoulder to cry on. The Taurus will support you through thick and thin, no matter what.

Be generous with compliments. Your Taurus loves being appreciated and noticed, and all it takes is some of your time!

What you should not do:

Try not to be unpredictable. The Bull loves stability in life, and any attempt to upset the apple cart will only send him scurrying.

Don't push your opinions on your Taurus lover. The Bull loves being in charge of a situation, don't deprive him of the feeling.

Learn to be patient. There are times when the bull will let off steam, and target everything in his path, which includes you. Wait for the storm to blow over.

Don't be frivolous. The Taurus prefers a steady relationship. If you don't want to carry on, say so. Don't break hearts.

Suggesting a financial plan to a Taurus can be sacrilege. The Bull loves to have total control of the money, so keep your suggestions to yourself.

Don't push for an answer early on. Taurus likes to take his time, so wait for the right time.

Sign Speak:

I just had to come talk with you. Sweetness is my weakness.

( T A U R U S - L i f e S t y l e )

LYFESTYLE

Beautiful You:

Ever wondered how beauty is not always make-up dependent? Well, rejoice, that is the kind of beauty you are blessed with! Stop thinking of yourself as a stuffy old bull. Subtlety is your greatest strength, and this is the greatest head-turner!

Your dressing table is never cluttered. You don't scurry to buy the latest shade of lipstick. A trusted brand name is what you prefer, and you would probably stick with a brand for ages. Though you are simple, you always have a trick up your sleeve. This is why you always manage to look beautiful.

With your steady gaze and flawless complexion, you should grow out your natural curls rather than force them straight, or keep your nails trimmed short if you just know long and sexy won't work for you. You adore the small, sensual pleasures of beauty -- sensual fabrics, natural, revitalizing skin creams and perfume with a woodsy, balsamic scent.

You prefer your hair flowing naturally over your shoulder or a loose tendril falling across your forehead. It's through these tiny but generous gestures of understated femininity that you as a Taurus assert your beauty.

You, the fitness freak:

You are ready to explore any sort of fitness routine. You are confident about your capability. While others are racing ahead of you, you're content to go about your business, knowing you'll get there eventually. You have a strong build with a slightly slower metabolism. Weight lifting and shot put are good plans for you. When playing team sports, you like the idea of having an important role in the team. As a Fixed Sign, stretching is very important. You may want to try yoga and meditation for added flexibility. Be wary of your sweet tooth! You like finery, but living too much of the good life can put a strain on your heart.

Fashionably Yours:

You are a designer's delight. You would never be caught dead in a bargains store. You know exactly what to wear, and how to dazzle. A seam out of place has you fuming.

Only the finest of fabrics will do for you. Money is no issue, as long as you can get the right shade and the right fit. You are not particular about trends. Anything that is classic, comfortable and practical finds place in your wardrobe.

You have a neck to be proud of. Classy chokers and necklaces look marvellous on you, and tying on a scarf appeals to the most classic part of your nature. Try doing your hair up in a classic chignon. And yes, let others try the bright colours. With your sense of fashion, you will never be underdressed for any occasion, and you will always look good.

Travel and you:

Slow and steady pretty much sums you up on the road. You are a careful planner, knowing fully well what's needed to make a trip both successful and worth your time. Taking a trip is no small task for you, which means you wouldn't think twice about spending a year planning the perfect excursion, poring over stacks of travel books to map your dream itinerary. Does this mean a trip with you will wind up being "my way or the highway?" Hey, they don't call you bull-headed for nothing! That said, you are likely to set an agenda that's rife with sensual pleasures -- top hotels, great meals and a night at the opera are all to be expected. Even the luggage will be top-of-the-line, whether it's a Louis Vuitton trunk or a sturdy Eastpak bag. You will also spend a pretty penny while on the road, although probably not more than your bank account can handle. Is it likely that you will wait a lifetime for that six-month whirl through Europe? Maybe. But for you, the trip will be everything you want (and need) when you finally get there!

Your Taste buds:

Taurus has a sweet tooth, so marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg are all winners. Taurus is an earth sign, so he will at least try to follow a sensible diet. The Bull will want to savour a full meal, so fast food will just not do.

( T A U R U S - L e i s u r e T a l k )

LEISURE TALK

Books:

The Taurean takes to thrillers, for he has the patience to plod through them. While some people need to read the last page first, you can wait to reach the climactic end of an Agatha Christie book. Your reading will also accommodate masters like Tolstoy and Dickens with great ease.

Chocolates:

The Bull is selfish with chocolates. Of course, you will get a few morsels, but not until he has had his share.

Movies:

The Bull is not the one to take to racy thrillers. He is patient, but the film has to be rewarding enough. Epic films that bring the viewer laughter, tears and beautiful scenery top the list. Mel Gibson in Braveheart, Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth and Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra all fit the bill.

Music:

Steady and solid, the Bull isn't inclined to listen to anything harsh or grating, but would rather have background music that sets the mood. Old romantic numbers are likely to find a place in your music rack. "Soothing" is your watchword, when you choose music.

Restaurants:

You would love to have a full-fledged, three-course meal, so nothing less than the best for you. You don't mind a good five-star hotel meal burning a hole in the pocket. Surely, dessert will be one of the three courses, as you have quite a sweet tooth.

Sports:

The brawny Bull has endurance and stamina galore, which would best be put toward sports like rowing, weight lifting, tug-of-war, rugby, gardening or cricket.

Television:

The Bull loves melodrama. You would probably have watched every episode of the longest running soap opera on television. Epics intrigue you, and you don't lose your interest, as the episodes lose lustre.

Pets:

If you have a Taurus pet, you had better be prepared for it snoozing all the time. Laziness is this animal's second name. Make a good bed for your pet. Better still, throw in generous doses of tender loving care.

These animals love to eat, so ensure that there is food around all the time. The Taurus pet also loves to be touched, so make sure you are generous with those hugs and caresses.

If you expect your Taurus dog to fetch a stick, forget it. These animals are very lethargic, so a walk in the backyard is the most they can do. Lounging around is the name of their game.

You should be thankful that these animals don't talk. If they could, they would probably wind you round their little fingers. The Taurus pet sure is an obstinate one!

But you would be glad that the Taurus pet is faithful, and is highly unlikely to run away. Since they like to eat so much, keep an eye on your pet to ensure they don't get too fat.

Lastly, this tolerant and gentle pet makes for a great companion for kids.

Gifts:

The key word to think of when getting your Taurean loved one a gift is 'luxury'. Taureans enjoy the good things in life, be they financial or physical, earthly sensual. A rejuvenating massage will do him a world of good. The Bull also revels in beauty and fine art, so tickets to the newest play in town be appreciated. Taurus rules the neck and the throat, so pamper your Taurean loved one with necklaces and earrings. The Bull also has a yen for investments, so a gift of stocks and bonds would do him good.

Great gifts:

Aftershave, cologne, chocolates, stocks or bonds, a wallet, a shaving kit, a plant, tickets to a new play, a gift certificate to a gourmet restaurant, a fine tie, a top-of-the-line stereo system, a leather jacket, a nice bottle of wine, gardening equipment

CAREER

You, the employee:

As a Taurus employee, you are always an outstanding worker, and one of your most endearing qualities is your willingness to take orders without resentment. Your respect for authority is based on your knowledge that when you become an executive, you will expect your employees to follow your directions. As a boss yourself, you'll have definite and probably rigidly set ideas and methods.

You have a sort of Machiavellian detachment for those who think they're manipulating you, and you'll handle them with smooth tact and diplomacy. In the end, you will have your own way. If you are a woman employee, you are usually a real jewel. If you're a typical Taurus, you'll have a quiet, low-pitched voice and soothing manner.

After you have found the right meadow, where the opportunities grow plentifully, you seldom seek change or new fields to conquer. You are incredibly capable of persevering until the reward comes, but only when you are at the centre of things, never when you are insecurely chewing around the edges and hoping for a break. Once you feel the necessary sense of achievement and security beneath you, and once you have planted yourself in a position where you can build even higher, you move forward with confidence.

You, the boss:

As a Taurean boss, you are a thoroughly practical soul. Although you need to feel that your business allows you to express the beauty in your nature creatively, you need even more to succeed materially. You are never satisfied to run a small business. You want to build it into a possible empire. As a Taurus boss, you won't be content without some expansion, however minor. There will be no dramatic, sweeping changes, and progress will proceed one step at a time. You'll build gradually, without flash or fanfare, but you'll build. You stick to anything you start and finish what you begin, and you'll expect your employees to do the same thing. You want your facts plain, not fancy. Granted, sometimes you're wrong for refusing to listen to progressive ideas. But in the long haul, when the final score is tallied, you'll come out ahead.

You'll always try quiet common sense as your key phrase. But that doesn't mean you're lacking in imagination or appreciation of the finer things in life. Fancy names and titles don't impress you as much as they make you uneasy. You may take flak for your bull-headed attitude, but you are also stubborn in standing up for people who are loyal to you. You're really quite gentle if the red flag of defiance isn't waved in your face too often. You're strong and dependable. You say what you mean and you mean what you say. You won't need an interpreter.

You, the colleague:

You are accommodating, and that is half the battle won. You are also fiercely committed, and that means there is always a shoulder to cry on, when someone needs it. There are a few rough patches, mind you. We are dealing with stubbornness here. You refuse to see eye to eye on certain matters. Remember, it does pay to give in sometimes.

Careers and you:

You are reliable and loyal, easy to get along with and a good team player. You are also practical and grounded, as befits an Earth Sign. You are the Mr-Fix-It of the zodiac. You can be a bit lazy to get going, but once you are up and running, look out! There's a focus and single-mindedness of purpose there that can come in very handy. You can be strong-willed, so it's a good idea for colleagues to lay down the law first -- you will follow their lead and work hard. While you can do well in business, an artistic streak is also present. More apparent, though, can be your frequent stubborn streaks, which can defeat a lot of hard work. And that temper! It's mercifully swift. If you can keep your focus on the steady accumulation of material goods and an occasional dose of earthy, sensual pleasures, life will be grand.

Here are some occupations that a Taurean might consider:

( T A U R U S - M o n e y A n d Y o u )

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are one of the Zodiac's great providers. You are terrific with money, probably because you value it so much. You don't mind slogging for the good things in life. Of course, you do value the simple things in life like a sunset, a juicy grapefruit or a good book. As an Earth Sign, you also enjoy owning a piece of land, so real estate makes for a particularly attractive investment. You love everything about money -- its colour, feel, and smell -- and also feel entitled to it! This comfort level around money makes you very good with it. You never make rash financial decisions that will cause you to lose your treasure trove. You are a master at making deliberate decisions where money is concerned, which means that bills will be paid on time and accounts are always in order.

Stretch the buck:

You take to security like a fish takes to water. You are very comfortable with money, because you value it so much. You also surround yourself with good things in life, and do not mind spending a little more on life's luxuries.

You are willing to put your nose to the grindstone for all the money. The phrase "value for money" means a lot to you. Being an earth sign, you will also invest in real estate.

You are very comfortable with money, and this comfort level equips you with a good head for figures. You do not make rash financial decisions, lest you lose the feeling of security you so cherish.

You like to touch and feel things, and tangible assets work best for you. Consequently, antiques and real estate are far more appealing than stocks and bonds. You are often a long-term investor, since you like both making and keeping money. Your love for money does not necessarily govern your life, and you will make way for other pleasures, like food and sex.

You are a master at making deliberate decisions where money is concerned. That old maxim "neither a borrower nor a lender be" fits you to a Taurean T.

G E M I N I ( May 22 - June 21 )

Welcome to the Gemini Room!

From patient to strident in a flash!

Who can predict the kind of person you are? Need to know more?

Gemini

Ruled by Mercury

A Masculine Positive Mutable Air Sign

Polar or opposite sign: Sagittarius

Colour: Yellow or Gold

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and lasts from May 22 - June 21.

Quick-witted, versatile and adaptable, they are the life and soul of any party. Because they easily get bored and restless, they require constant intellectual and social stimulation.

As a rule, they are talented people with a keen sense of humour and a charm of their own. They display enthusiasm in short bursts but tend to lose focus easily.

Physical Appearance:

They like maintaining an impeccable appearance and are generally tall and slim. They have small, narrow hands and feet and quick, sometimes theatrical gestures. They are highly energetic and exude oodles of charisma.

Relationships:

Geminis are emotionally undemonstrative but enjoy being in a lively family, and seek a partner with strong opinions. They are keen to make relationships work, but tend to be too egocentric and outgoing to ever really know what makes their partners tick. Often, Geminis content themselves with playing the field for many years before settling down.

Career:

The ultimate charmers and communicators of the Zodiac, they are particularly suited to media work. They are good at creating an impressive image that allows them to be even more persuasive in sales pitches. They find it hard to stick to one job as they are always on the lookout for something new. Typically, they live for the moment.

Health:

Geminis need to guard against `burn-out' and discipline themselves to get enough sleep and eat regular meals. They are particularly sensitive to the ill effects of smoking since they have delicate lungs. A healthy exercise programme will help them balance their energies and will promote greater powers of concentration.

Ideal Partner:

Geminis need someone who can deal with their unpredictable temperament and cope with their constantly changing plans. They vibe best with Aquarians.

( G E M I N I - A b o u t Y o u )

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

Your volatile Taurean temper is seldom displayed impulsively, but when you get mad, you can destroy everything in your path. Speaking of obstinacy, there's no use telling you that you're obstinate. You think you are not stubborn at all. You're patient. It's just a matter of semantics.

You have a fixed opinion in every matter, and it is no use trying to pry you away. Still, you can also claim the virtue of patience with justification. There's nothing small about you, including your capacity for lasting love and your potential for wealth. Eventually, success will come to you, and you will be ready. Because the far-off Venus showers you with the love of luxury, you pay dearly for your possessions and treasure them for a lifetime.

You as a man:

You can be a tender, gentle and protective lover. Your sentimental gestures and pleasantly earthy wooing can be just as satisfying as the soulful, poetic sighs of more colourful lovers.

You're extremely patient, but are not willing to waste an entire lifetime on a lost cause. You are kind, gentle and truly tolerant. You'll do anything in the world for the woman you love except allow her to wear the pants.
Your financial affairs are usually secure. Few of you will fail to accumulate at least security, if not wealth.

You as a woman:

You have more moral and emotional courage than many a tough male, but you have enough confidence in your own sex to let your man be the boss.

When you run across someone you dislike, you don't start a big campaign to destroy him. You show frigid indifference to your enemies, but if you count someone as a friend, you'll be loyal through all ups and downs. Your perspective normally remains straight and true, with no twists and turns.

You can be a tower of strength. You're seldom demanding, except in the area of loyalty, and your disposition is generally even, down-to-earth and pleasant.

You as a child:

You are emotionally stable, seldom subject to deep moods of depression, fits of impulsiveness or tendencies to show off. Your disposition is normally calm and pleasant.

You quietly mind your own business. However, if forced, you turn into a silent, moody, cruel adult.

You must be treated gently and logically. Even when you're very young, your mind will respond to common sense.

You will be industrious in school, learn your lessons methodically and have excellent powers of concentration. You are ordinarily quite obedient. Your mind absorbs slowly, but you never forget what you've learned, once a fact or date is mastered.

( G E M I N I - L o v e F o r Y o u )

LOVE FOR YOU

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Leo

A love affair with you needs great stamina, and is a race to the finish. You are funny and love to play those little tricks that make a relationship with you fun. You have an active mind, which can sometimes lead to a short attention span. The best way to keep you around and aroused is through mental stimulation. You also value adventure and travel, so a certain casual attitude will help the romance bloom. Your duality allows you to see both sides of an issue. You also feel especially connected to those who can help you feel, since you spend so much of your time thinking.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Aries

You like to take the lead all the time, and this holds good for your relationships as well. You do not believe in being chased, and take the lead in whatever you do. You love to compete to win the attentions of your beloved. You are always on a voyage of discovery, and love to experiment. You also hate being rejected. Your love realizes a little late in the day that rejection of any sort damages your fragile ego. You must climb down from your high horse and learn to give in from time to time. You must beware of being totally self-absorbed, or you may soon find yourself bereft of a lover. You must remember that not everyone thinks the way you do. You will be happiest in a relationship that allows you to be true to yourself.

You in Relationships:

A relationship with you is certainly never boring. You want a mentally stimulating partner, who should match you in your zest for life. You love to dazzle with your intelligence and quick wit. Jealous lovers will find themselves tested by your magnetism, and you do love testing your beloved to see if they are true. You need to be loved and yet need space, and the one person who can give both to you wins hands down.

Are you in love?

You love a chase and the game of love can be a real adventure for you. Your biggest challenge is to find one person who you can share your life with. If there are any doubts, you will just keep on looking. When in love, you can be a very caring and thoughtful partner. You often find yourself adrift in the sea of love, needing someone to fill a void. You may be the life of a party, but you do have your lonely times.

Getting Intimate:

You don't ask for much, just someone who will stimulate your mind for a great time. And yes, you are impulsive, so the one you love had better be prepared for surprises. Whatever said and done, making love is a mental sport for you. You are always in search of the perfect lover and the perfect experience. Once you find it, they will want, and give, stimulation to all the senses. To you, it is important being different and complete.

What You Need

A person who is smart, fun, a good friend and a great sport is what you are looking for. You need someone who can be attentive to you and appreciates your sparkle and wit. You also prefer a strong partner whose shoulder you can cry on. If you can find the right mental match, life will be a dream. You love a relationship replete with mental fireworks.

You must know

What you should do:

Be open. Your Gemini partner will play the field. Some lighthearted flirting will be part of the relationship. Don't throw a tantrum. You can be assured of his loyalty.

Brush up on your general knowledge. The Gemini loves to talk, and if you are well-informed, good for you!

Be prepared to run the race. The Gemini loves action, so if you are left behind, consider being left out.

Enjoy flirting with the Gemini man in your life. Make personal space the operative word in your relationship.

What you should not do:

Don't expect your Gemini to stop playing the field. That will be the end of the relationship.

Fumble for words all the time. The Gemini cannot stand poorly informed people.

Don't intrude into every hour of the Gemini's life. Your Gemini lover needs freedom to think and introspect.

Don't hold on, once the Gemini gets tired of the relationship. He will slip through your fingers like the wind.

Don't be too surprised at the way in which the Gemini expresses his love. What do you know, you will find love notes tucked into your pillow one morning, and be greeted by a cold, icy stare the next.

Sign Speak:

Do you have any overdue library books? 'Cause you've got the word "fine" written all over.

( G E M I N I - L i f e S t yl e )

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

Wit and charm - the two most important ingredients of your beauty. An unruly tendril could not bother you, as you are more concerned about who will sign the next peace treaty.

Well, you do have a way of moving your hands in the most rhythmic fashion as you speak. Have you ever noticed how people's eyes follow your hands around? Just don't let your chipped nail show, and a manicure will set things right in a jiffy. And yes, use good lip colours, for your mouth will be under constant scrutiny for pearls of wisdom!

But it is your power of thinking that wins hands down. Calm the hyperactive mind with a lavendar-tinged perfume and make-up in shades of pinks and light blues.

You are not partial to colour. Your beauty comes from your intellect, sense of humour and zest for life. Don't let your life be governed by shades of blue and pink. The cosmetic façade does not work all the time!

You, the fitness freak:

You are determined to be in two places at once, all the time. Always in motion, you lose interest quickly with anything that doesn't move fast enough. As a Gemini, you're versatile and want to try a variety of activities -- in short spurts. You like large groups, yet are mostly noncompetitive and likely to get into sports and fitness activities just for fun. Since Gemini rules the arms, hands, shoulders and lungs, swimming is an excellent way to stay in shape. You also tend to enjoy exciting sports that can be played in doubles, like table tennis and badminton. You may also excel in gymnastics. Mental fitness is also important; after a day of running around, it's great to relax with a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Fashionably yours:

Planning a wardrobe is not quite your scene. Your dressing routine is like throwing together tossed salad. You probably sift through a mountain of crumpled clothes, and choose what you need to wear.

You are open to trends, but the fascination fades quickly. You will never spend an insane amount on a piece of designer clothing. You don't even know garments have labels. Comfort is important to you, so you can pick up anything off the shelf.

Your arms are a delight, so you would do well to flaunt them. Denim flatters you, and needs no extra care, so it is your favourite fabric!

If you think about putting on makeup in the morning, it's probably very light, perhaps only lip gloss to give you even more than your natural shine. You are willing to try anything once, but your hair is usually pretty simple, with only twin braids to bring out your inner nature.

Travel and you:

Weekend getaways were clearly designed with you in mind. No fan of long-drawn-out excursions, you prefer to hop into the car, get to where you are going (and fast!) and sightsee like crazy once you're there. Sitting around on a beach is for everyone else, thank you very much. You are always eager to learn from your travels, and one of the best ways to do this is by talking to the people at your destination. Who better to offer some local colour and insight? You enjoy having a travelling companion, if only to have someone to talk to! You don't feel a need to get every last bit of information while travelling, either -- a quick glimpse into things is just fine, and then it's off to the next place or activity on the agenda. Will there be much in your travel bag? Unlikely, since you'll pack as light as Air, the element which rules your sign. You are also good to have along on a group tour, as you have a knack for synthesising chunks of information and making it easily understandable. You are a pocket tour guide. You are also street-smart and possess good common sense, an ideal combination for the intrepid traveller.

Your Taste buds:

Gemini is always on the go, so they're constantly looking for food that they can pick up and run with or that they don't need to spend forever preparing. The Twins would love a take-out dinner, instead of slaving away in the kitchen.

( G E M I N I - L e i s u r e T a l k )

LEISURE TALK

Books:

Bored easily and always ready to learn, the Twins will dive into short stories, educational books, fiction or cartoons. You'll read anything from Shakespeare to Sidney Sheldon to Archie, and probably do some bedside reading out of a P.G. Wodehouse omnibus.

Chocolates:

You love chocolates of every kind, and would not hesitate sampling a wide variety before deciding on the best!

Movies:

While you're a voracious reader and an intellectual, you enjoy a laugh, too. You crave for a good comedy, and Peter Sellers may be the perfect idea of a great evening. On the other hand, you can't go wrong with something that gives you pause for thought. Perhaps Dead Man Walking should give you food for thought.

Music:

Your music collection looks like it has travelled back and forth on a time machine. You will find timeless classics sharing space with the latest chartbuster. And you flaunt your musical tastes with élan.

Restaurants:

The intellectual and airy Gemini likes to keep dinner light. While fast food will do, you're also willing to broaden your horizons by trying different types of food.

Sports:

The versatile and flexible Gemini enjoys sports as an experience to strengthen the mind. A few rounds of table tennis will help you tackle a challenging day!

Television:

The Gemini like little bits of everything, so channel surfing is your favourite passion. 15-second sound bites were made for you. You also like to jostle your mind with a quiz show or two, like Mastermind on the BBC.

Pets:

The Gemini pet is so noisy that you think they might start talking after a while! But they have their own ways of communication.

Gemini pets love their freedom, and variety is what they live by. So if you think your pet will be happy with a ball-throwing everyday, forget about it! The pet's daily routine should be well planned, so you will be walking your canine on the beach one day, and doing cartwheels the next.

Your Gemini pet is always game for tricks, so if you want to preen to a friend, this is the best opportunity. And yes, everything about the Gemini pet is quick. So, your feline may start walking on twos, while you still remember that it walked on fours.

These happy creatures are innovative, too! Gemini pets are always coming up with the kind of original stunts that make people swoon. Be ready for anything with this pet! The Gemini pet's zest for life and a good time ensure that this animal will seem young even in old age.

Gifts:

Gemini loves a tough mental exercise. The Twins examine the world through intellect, so books, educational videos and magazine subscriptions would be great gift ideas. And yes, your Gemini loved one talks nineteen to the dozen, so a cell phone or an address book would help him. Gemini rules the arms, hands and lungs, so gloves, shirts, rings or watches also make good presents. The Gemini loves variety, so mix and match various kinds of presents to make the Gemini happy.

Your Gemini pet will never cease to amaze you and will provide countless hours of fun. Be sure to pay particular attention to your pet's paws or legs, as these areas may be weak spots for them.

Great gifts:

Books, magazine subscriptions, rings, shirts, a sweater, a coat or sport coat, stationery, a nice pen, a diary, videos, an address book, a watch, a cell phone.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You do not have the intense drive or the willingness to work overtime. You lack fixed and steady purpose and you never understand endless, devoted dedication.

You have a built-in ability to deal with emergencies. You are so persuasive, you can talk people into buying things they couldn't possibly even use. You won't throw away extravagant sums of money readily.
You keep the workplace humming with busy activity, lots of jokes and gay chatter. But you will get things done. You function very well as a secretary. Normally, if you're a typical Gemini, you'll be able to do an intelligent, clearly stated letter with just a hint from your boss about the subject matter.

You will talk your boss into giving you the raise, and make sure that you work that extra hour everyday. For you, it is only perfectly logical. It is much safer to avoid persuasive hurdles with you. You have a youthful air of irresponsibility, and will shoot down anything the first prude says. You have a mind at least a million years-old, and the emotions of a teenager. You look like one too.

You, the boss:

You are a brilliant, though restless, executive. It is hard for you to sit behind a desk for more than one hour at a time. You can wear a hole in the carpet pacing up and down, if you are cooped up in one place for too long. When you are assigned an executive spot, you will be quick to delegate authority to those around you.

Your employees can look forward to a lot of excitement, with you around. You are seldom dogmatic and your opinions are flexible. You also hate antagonising your employees. Few people interest you long enough for that kind of intensity. Your true character, despite your surface warmth, is cool, aloof and lonely. Yet, you're not unsympathetic. You're not overly sentimental, but you always see the ridiculous side of things. There is always a slight whirl of confusion around a Gemini-run office and constant activity. But you won't be the one who is confused. You sort it all out, clear the muddy waters of all the junk. Your quick eye and your trigger-fast brain work in perfect synchronisation. You get suddenly bored after you've made financial or business successes, and you rush off to the next challenge long before retirement time. You are an expert at double talk. Yet, as clever as you are in competitive situations, you are still an incurable dreamer, and a smashingly good storyteller.

You, the colleague:

You can be surprisingly aloof, where your work is concerned. But you soon discover that you can talk about anything, from the first man on the moon, to the paisley prints on your cushion covers. You will also talk your way to a raise or a promotion, but remember, it pays to put in some work too!

Careers and you

What you have is The Great Communicator and The Great Facilitator all rolled into one -- but wait, they're two. Twins, right? Possessed of a restless and quick mind, you are constantly moving from one project to the next, so a capable assistant who can keep pace with you is a good idea -- if they can keep up!

You work well as an intermediary or go-between, since you love to talk. The context of these contacts is probably a fast-paced social whirl where you are being continuously challenged and stimulated. If things get dull, you will set your sites on a new arena.
