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.

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 )

2007-10-21T05:04:00.000-07:00

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?

2007-10-21T04:56:00.001-07:00

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 )

2007-10-21T04:48:00.000-07:00

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.

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 employee:

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 )

2007-10-21T04:08:00.001-07:00

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.

2007-10-21T01:34:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

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 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.

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 )

2007-10-21T00:14:00.001-07:00

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 )

2007-10-21T00:06:00.001-07:00

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.

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

Changeable and unpredictable, you enjoy blowing up money, rarely worrying about where the next cheque will come from. Your charisma will surely lead to something! You can't be bothered with balancing accounts, though, since there are so many more interesting things to do. As far as you are concerned, money is a necessary evil. You enjoy juggling many tasks, and are ideally suited as a salesperson since it's a great way to talk all day long! And talk you can, for you could sell ice to Eskimos. A freelance sales job is ideal, thanks to its flexible scheduling. Are you good with money? Well, you can have a pretty hard time deciding between practicality and pleasure . If your partner is willing to manage the purse strings, life with you can be a non-stop joyride!

Stretch the buck:

You are always looking out for a good deal. You can effectively charm your way into the good books of others. You never lose sight of the real purpose, and have the last laugh all the time, with a good investment tucked away.

You enjoy spending your money, and worry little about depleting funds. You are averse to saving, since there are so many interesting things you can do with the money. You find the idea of security boring, and change jobs in the twinkling of an eye.

Money is never an all-consuming passion. You love the good things in life, and if it costs money, you will go ahead and earn it. You crave for a job with a lot of freedom and flexibility, and would not be caught dead in a humdrum existence.

You rarely worry about whether you have enough money to go round, since you can pull it off when it really matters. You can have a pretty hard time deciding between practicality and pleasure. You would do well with a practical partner, who can have a hold on your purse strings.

Welcome to the Cancer Room!

The eternal homebody, you thrive on love and affection.

Now get to know more about yourself!

Cancer

Ruled by the Moon

A Feminine Negative Cardinal Water Sign.

Polar or Opposite sign: Capricorn

Colour: Pale blue or Silver

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac and lasts from 23rd June - 23rd JulyCancerians are the most family-centred of the Zodiac. Fiercely protective of their loved ones, they can be intuitively wise and zero in on a person's frame of mind. They are not wildly ambitious once they become established. Cancerians are tenacious and hang on to a belief or a cause at the risk of hurting themselves. Being very emotional, they can be moody, withdrawn and secretive.

Physical Appearance:

Cancerians are small-made, with round faces and possess a tendency to gain weight. They have abundant shiny hair, expressive eyes and are economical with their gestures.

Relationships:

Cancerians treasure emotional bonds and don't severe ties easily. They cling on to a failing relationship and find it difficult to let go. Usually they wear their hearts on their sleeve, and are prone to emotional excesses. When blinded by emotion, they never see reason. They long for an atmosphere of love and harmony to prevail at home.

Career:

Being naturally sympathetic, practical and nurturing, they are best suited for counselling and charity work. They are reliable and responsible and can easily run small businesses. They also tend to work well with people and often adopt the role of a mediator where diplomacy is required.

Health:

Exercise is generally anathema to them. They have a weak digestive system and constantly suffer from heartburn and ulcers. They tend to become hypochondriacs. With a tendency to be fascinated by holistic or alternative therapies, they can spend a fortune working their way through them.

Ideal Partner:

They seek steady, stable and practical partners, and usually bond best with Capricorn

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

Your Cancer funny side shows itself in the most unlikely of situations. You have an uncanny sense of publicity, when it pleases you to be noticed.

When you're hurt, you disappear into reproachful silence. Most of the time, however, you'll turn away from getting hurt content to hide under your protective shell. You seek solitude.

You never go directly after what you want. You truly care and want to help.

You tend to brood over mistakes instead of shrugging off bad luck and trying again.

It takes a long time and a fair amount of patience to really know you.

You as a man:

You have the characteristic Cancer need for security. You pursue it with dedication and a quiet, religious fervour most of the time. Finances have fascinated you since childhood, and saving is substantially more attractive to you than spending.

You are either very close to your family (specifically your mother), or completely alienated from them. The relationship is never casual. You are naturally shy of rushing into a relationship, but once you're sure, you won't be easily rebuffed.

You like your loved ones to lean on you forever, and when they show signs of independence, you may become a cranky crab.

You as a woman:

Your Cancer sensitivity is hurt at the slightest pretext. You hate to be criticised, you are deeply wounded by ridicule, and you just can't stand being rejected.

You like to keep secrets. You are afraid you are not pretty enough, smart enough, young enough or old enough.

After you've been won over, you may be just a little tenacious, but you'll never let go of the relationship as long as you live.

There is never anything shallow or superficial about your sentiments. Patience is one of your loveliest virtues. You will never let people down when things get really dismal.

You as a child:

You have an active imagination. Your busy mind promptly records what you see and hear. Although you briefly turn into a rebel without a cause in adolescence, you are relatively easy to manage and discipline during your younger years.

Despite your tender emotions and gentle manners, you are not a follower. There's a great deal of independent thinking and individualism. You want your independence early. Most of you look forward to working for pay. You'll probably supply your own spending money sooner than other children, and be proud of it.

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Virgo

Where romance is concerned, you enjoy being the initiator in the game of love. Gentle probing can soon turn to passion, and few would resist your charms. The best way to your heart is truly through your stomach. This love of physical and emotional well-being, is a duty which your partner must fulfill. If this isn't achieved, you will retreat into a shell.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Taurus

You are passionate, sensual, and down to earth. You have a lot of latent energy, and are capable of channelling it in the right direction. You have an assured and determined air that surrounds you and a confidence that you project onto the world. You are persistent and patient, making you a stable lover. You are even tempered, but once angered, you are honest, forthright, and passionate with your emotions. You are capable of disciplining yourself, and have a great deal of raw physical strength. You attach great importance to discipline. You offer personal security to your lovers and are happiest when surrounded by material possessions.

You in relationships:

You are blessed with a unique intuition, and this works very well for a relationship. You have an excellent instinct for which relationship will work, and once you assess this, the relationship will never go wrong. Your charm and magnetism are qualities which will prove most alluring, and coupled with your nurturing need, will prove hard to resist. You love to feel secure, so someone who remembers special days, or who finds no reason to celebrate, will find a tender and loving companion.

Are you in love?

You want to take your time with a relationship. What's the rush, anyway? You are determined to win, so the initiation should go on for as long as possible. Once love is in the air, you are a devoted lover, protective of your beloved, and unusually helpful and sympathetic. You are the perfect sign for a lover seeking pampering. You are also honest with your emotions and someone who truly deserves your affections will get plenty of it.

Getting intimate:

What you want most is a partner who can take things slow and easy, secure in the knowledge that the ultimate victory will be sweet for both. You are most comfortable with an exchange of emotions, whether it's through sex or some other means. An understanding lover is what you need. A partner as intuitive as you will also help to draw you out of your shell.

What you need:

You are most relaxed at home, since it provides you with a cosy nest and a sanctuary. And if you can share that space with someone special - nothing like it. The emotions of your sign make you an empathetic and caring lover.

You must Know

What you should do:

Invest in a recipe book, and learn to whip up some wonderful meals, For the crab, there is no place like home, and something straight from the kitchen wins hands-down.

Remember special days, like the first time you exchanged a kiss. This means a lot to the Cancer.

Show the Cancer how much you appreciate the relationship. The Crab thrives on emotional security.

Be ready to lend a shoulder whenever needed. You will get unconditional love in return.

Give your Cancer undivided attention when they need it. The Crab is hurt easily, and you don't want that, do you?

What you should not do:

Don't expect to be the boss in the relationship. The Crab has a definite idea of who will wear the pants.

Ignoring family matters could is a dangerous mistake. The Cancerian burns incense at the family altar, and will expect you to do too.

Don't be pushy. This will shock the Crab. Gentleness is the key.

The Cancer is not the one for practical jokes. Tread carefully when making fun of them, for they can lapse into depths of gloom.

Don't get carried away by the Crab's mood swings. You will experience an emotional tidal wave.

Sign Speak:

Can I borrow a quarter? I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the person I'm going to marry

2007-10-20T09:11:00.000-07:00

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful you:

The mirror is not your best friend. You care for the world, and a beauty routine only binds you down. But your eyes and cheekbones are a special gift, so you need no work there! You are the perfect picture of the nurturer, with your sparkling eyes and womanly proportions.

From the outside, you would pass off easily for Mother Hen. Underneath, you're an emotional and sexual woman. You do have your moments of celebration, when you want to let your hair down. When you want to indulge, you spend hours in the bathtub, scrubbing away. That is when your bath oils make a rare appearance. You prefer the classics -- pearls, pastel colours and tried-and-true products.

Your beauty comes from your generosity, your sympathetic nature and your realistic self-image. It's when you open your arms to give the world a warm hug that you become an absolute knockout.

You, the fitness freak:

You are the most home-oriented amongst all zodiac signs. You prefer to stay in and work out to videos than go to the gym. You excel in pulling people together to form teams for sports and games. You're the cheerleader who stays away from the spotlight and quietly roots your team to victory. Fitness can easily be achieved when you're part of a team. Things like neighbourhood basketball teams will do wonders for your sense of community. Watch out for kidney problems, though. Be certain to drink a lot of water when there's danger of dehydration.

Fashionably yours:

You have probably had that old night suit for years, yet you shudder at the thought of letting it go. Clothing is as important to you as family. Comfort is your watchword, and you would not follow a trend for even a million dollars. But you don't turn up a frump. Even your most basic clothes have a tinge of femininity.

You frown on a big budget for your wardrobe. One of the only things you spend haphazardly on is lingerie, from sports bras to sultry nighties. A favourite outfit might be a long, flowing skirt with a v-neck sweater and a raincoat. On warm days, beachwear and wraps with sandals are a must. You have a weakness for pretty jewellery. Pearls are an eternal favourite. You probably don't go much for makeup, unless it is soft and easy to manage. You prefer to literally let your hair down. On busy or windy days, you may only pause to pull it back in a loose knot. You dress for comfort, and don't give in to new trends. But you can be quite a looker!

Travel and you:

Armchair travel may have been invented for you, as you prefer to stay cozy and warm in your trusted shells. You are unadventurous and are content to stay at home, or you'll generally go somewhere close to home when you do venture out. And catch you going alone -- the entire family travels with you to provide the emotional security. Yep, there's no place like home to you, so any journey must recreate home and hearth as much as possible. Although nurturing souls, you can also be stubborn, so it's you who'll set the agenda when travelling. You're not likely to spend a lot of money on a trip, either, as you know the value of a buck.

Your taste buds:

Cancer is the homebody that, as a Water Sign, is looking for comfort food. The Crab is an excellent cook, and spending time in the kitchen to make sure that a dish turns out right is no problem. No wonder you have a good collection of cookery books.

( C A N C E R - L e s u r e T a l k )

2007-10-20T09:03:00.000-07:00

LEISURE TALK

Books:

The sensitive and caring Crab will enjoy cozying up at home with a good tear-jerking romantic novel, or a book that evokes warm childhood memories. The perfect idea of a good read is Love Story, and a cup of hot cocoa to go with it.

Chocolates:

You do love the good things in life, and your idea is to make the experience last. So you would save teeny-weeny bits of chocolate till the end of the month.

Movies:

Your greatest pleasure lies in watching a home video. Your idea of a perfect movie is when the "happily ever after" principle prevails. You will probably have the Sound of Music on video, so you don't have to brave theatre crowds.

Music:

The sentimental crab likes listening to the music of the good old days. John Denver, The Beatles, or a romantic old number should send you down memory lane. You would also try remixes, merely to understand why they are the rage.

Restaurants:

A homebody at heart, the Crab enjoys a good home-cooked meal or take-out. Due to your delicate tummy, you may not be too inclined or advised to try different cuisines.

Sports:

As a Water Sign and aquatic creature, you are happy to make a splash. You will reign supreme in the pool, and enjoy sports like water polo immensely. Television:You could probably do with a warning: soap operas never fail to intrigue you, so think twice before you start watching one. You are the one for reruns, especially if it is a classic film.

Pets:

Your Cancer pet is likely to be moody, and sulk for no apparent reason at all. Just like the humans, the Cancer pet loves being part of a family, and feels safe at home. They won't feel the need to go out and explore. Home will give them everything they need.

Remember, your Cancer pet will get paranoid if he is locked up. The Cancer pet is prone to stomach and digestive problems, so make sure that he gets plenty of food when he needs it.

The Cancer pet is intuitive, so be sure you don't raise your voice. Your pet will work his way up to be the darling of the family. He will soon have the kids eating out of his hands. Trust your pet to jump on your lap and cheer you up when you are feeling blue!

Of course, these pets can have their own bad days, so it is best to let them be. The Cancer pet is highly possessive, and will feel morose if left behind. They can sense that they're about to be left alone, and that's just no fun in this animal's kingdom.

Forever loyal, the Cancer pet is sure to be stretched in front of the fire, adding their own brand of affectionate warmth to whatever family they come to love.

Gifts:

Cancerians are homebodies, and finding presents for them promises to be fun. Any gift that adds value to their home should be a big hit with the Crab. The family is as important to the Crab, so why not gift him a photo album which will help stack family photographs? Cancers also have a strong association with food, so anything to do with cooking, be it cookbooks or a home cooked meal will be appreciated.

Great gifts:

Chocolates, books, a food hamper, a photo album, a diary or journal, a cookbook, kitchen appliances, membership to a health club.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are the quintessential, hardworking Cancer employee. Your boss will firmly hold on to you, because you will actually work for him. You never think of your job as a means to express your ego or an amusing way to pass time. You work for the simplest reason in the world - security.

As time goes on, and you prove your ability, you will expect a raise. Your income must always equal your output, which will steadily increase. You accept discipline from the boss with calm docility while it's necessary, but never forget what's behind your willingness to follow orders gracefully. You also need oodles of affection. Appreciation is soothing to you, but it never completely replaces your sentimental attachment to your bank balance.

It's best to let you make the jokes. With your kind heart and your sharp perception, it's unlikely that you'll annoy anyone with your comedy. You can be an utterly fascinating conversationalist, unless you're in a gloomy mood, in which case one word an hour, snapped out briefly, will be about par. You are a tender and sympathetic shoulder to cry on, and no one can be crankier when they suspect someone is trying to take something from them. You do well in any position that lets you use your natural abilities.

You, the boss:

As a serious, hard-working Cancer executive, you don't go for hilarity on the job. Your working humour can consist of anything from laughing at an over-confident competitor falling on his face to a faint chuckle when an employee asks for a raise. Nothing else will arouse much mirth or many giggles. The humour is still there, beneath your crisp business face and your snow-white collar, but it will be used sparingly on the job. You are in business for one purpose only. To make money.

You have a memory like an elephant. You may have inherited wealth and position, but you will seldom rest on your family's laurels. You have to prove you can stack up the gold pieces on your own. Still, you're not greedy. You're truly sympathetic and charitable, without being naïve about it.

Happiness to you means money and affection in equal measure. You are also a mind reader, and have a unique insight into people's feelings. You understand everything people say with uncanny accuracy, and the unnerving part is that you're also perceptive enough to sense the meaning of words unspoken. You are not really a loner. You may act like it at times, when you're passing through a cranky or depressed mood, but you usually like to be surrounded by people. You drive a hard bargain, but you're fair while being shrewd. You're a kind and decent person, moved to pity by cruelty and misfortune. Courtesy and compassion are part of your gentleman's code.

You, the colleague:

You are a dream colleague. You love to work in silence, which makes people think that you are not much of an achiever. But you prove them wrong eventually. You are very sensitive, and this tends to get on people’s nerves. But don’t take this too seriously. It will not affect your need to make a difference!

Careers and you:

You could be mistaken for an underachiever, but you work in a subtle, low-key manner. You like to lead, and are generally successful. You can create a space of harmony and happiness for all. This empathetic and intuitive quality also makes you a natural nurturer. You are very creative and possess qualities that can lead to bliss in the workplace, if properly merged. Think of an art therapist or family counseller, that is your talk. But a word of caution; people shouldn't make the mistake of rubbing you the wrong way. They will pay a heavy price!

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

Security is of the utmost importance to you and that means financial security as well. You like having money and feel especially good when there's a pile of it in the bank. You are an excellent strategist. You enjoy accumulating money (you need to!) and intend to hang on to most, if not all, of what you get. Loving money as you do (green must be your favourite colour!), you make excellent bankers and business people, seemingly endowed as you are with a head for money. You also view money as a measure of your value. You enjoy doing the budgeting and will always see to it that the fridge is full, the bills are paid, and that bank balances are healthy.

Stretch the buck:

You have an incredible gut feel in money matters, and often end up making a neat little pile. You must also take credit for all the hard work.

You are an excellent strategist, and with your astute business sense, you often clinch a good deal. You enjoy accumulating money and intend to hang on to most, if not all, of what you get.

You are endowed with a strong head for money, and make a good banker or businessman. You also view money as a measure of your value -- it validates you and helps you feel more powerful. It also allows you to take care of those you love and buys peace of mind. You will never fret over rainy day woes. You do not tolerate pending bills, and see to it that the coffers are never empty. You frown upon the idea of a credit card, since it gives you a feeling of insecurity. You are also cautious about lending money, unless it's a family member that's doing the asking, in which case your generosity is boundless. You are also uncomfortable with shopping sprees, since you love to hold on to the money.

Welcome to the Leo Room!

The leader of the pack! Go ahead, preen all you want, as you discover more about yourself!

Leo

Ruled by the sun.

A Masculine Positive Fixed Fire Sign.

Polar or opposite sign: Aquarius

Colour: Gold-yellow - orange, sometimes red.

Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac, and lasts from July 24 - August 23

This is the sign of strength, pride, confidence and courage. Leos possess regal dignity. They have good mental and emotional strength, ambition, a strong will and a great deal of persistence. They love flattery and attention and revel in compliments. Conversely, when their integrity is challenged, they can fly into towering rages. It is easy for Leos to become overbearing.

Physical Appearance:

Leos have a distinguished stature and attract attention easily. They normally possess healthy skin and a well-sculpted body. Slow and deliberate in their speech and movement, their bearing is regal and dignified.

Relationships:

They are fairly easy to live with and make wonderful social companions. They tend to have a large circle of close friends whom they value for life, and they make passionate and faithful lovers who expect loyalty in return. They are very sensitive and get hurt easily. If betrayed by a loved one, they can be very vindictive.

Career:

Leos are happiest and most effective in any career where they can give orders or be the centre of attention. They are clever artistically and creatively: many succeed in the entertainment world, and flourish under the glare of the spotlight. They find routine jobs tedious and usually opt for a more satisfying job. They expect constant praise and positive feedback.

Health:

Many Leos suffer from back and spinal problems, made worse by their tendency to be overweight, and their lack of exercise. They get easily stressed and can suffer from heart ailments. However, they also like visiting expensive health farms.

Ideal Partner:

Leos expect consistent support and constant pampering. Hence, they gel best with Aquarians

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

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.

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.

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.

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Scorpio

You tend to get selfish in your relationships, and assume a "me first" quality. You love to feel good, and respond very well to pampering. While you love to be admired and adored, you also want to take the lead, and make things happen in your relationship. Since the world is a stage to you, fun and excitement are part of your repertoire. You take chances where romance is concerned, since losing is just not you.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Gemini

You are a master of glib-talk, and this point scores over the rest to win your beloved over. You also possess an insatiable curiosity, and are always ready to experiment in your relationship. You are extremely versatile, and your multiple interests are forever expanding. You are very open to new experiences and mental challenges, and are capable of directing your energies for cerebral searches. You are blessed with a clear wit, and this helps ease out many sticky situations. You excel at asserting yourself through language, enabling you to talk your way into and out of any situation. As a lover, you are experimental, interesting, energetic and fun. An intellectually active partner would be perfect for you.

You in Relationships

You are the life of any relationship, and a courtship with you will rarely prove dull. You need to be lavished with attention, but can also do that in return. You need a lover who can keep up with you match your wits. If boredom creeps into the relationship, you look for greener pastures. You need a partner who can understand your needs and give you the attention you need.

Are you in Love?

You are a natural leader in the love dance. You will want to rule, but you also want to be admired, which makes for a relationship filled with tension. But your generous and giving nature makes certain that a lover will feel special. You make your beloved run in circles, while finding out answers to questions related to your relationship. Love is an attractive state for you, and you surely do love the chase.

Getting Intimate:

You emit a great physicality, heat and ardour, when the timing is just right. You crave for action, and anyone who makes the right moves will get noticed. The right kind of approach makes you a confident lover. You are the happiest when a partner tells you how wonderful the relationship is. As your gracious gift, you will tell your partner just how much that compliment meant!

What You Need:

You love being fawned over. Being a devoted sort, you will return this gesture in kind, making a partner feel special indeed. Someone who exudes class and remembers that it's nothing but the best will score points with you. You are giving and devoted, and live for the pleasures that life can bring. One of these is being in the limelight, where you believe you truly belong.

You must know

What you should do:

Think of new ways to praise the Leo every single day. The Lion loves to bask in the glory of praise.

The Leo will rule the roost, so learn to be submissive. Pretend you like it!

Laugh at the Lion's jokes. The Leo has a wonderful sense of humour, and will keep you entertained.

Show the Leo how important they are to you. Be prepared for surprise gifts to be showered on you on a daily basis.

What you should not do:

Don't make plans, unless the Lion has a place in them. Or be prepared for them to sulk in the corner.

Try and pull the Leo vanity down in public. The Leo ego will be bruised, and this is not very good news!

Don't take charge of a situation. The Leo knows he is boss, and would not like to share the spotlight with anyone, not even you.

Don't challenge the Leo vanity. The Lion's ego is fragile, and has to be handled with care.

Don't insist on sharing honours with a Leo. The spotlight is theirs and theirs alone.

Sign Speak:

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

( L E O - L i f e S t y l e )

2007-10-20T06:03:00.000-07:00

LIFESTYLE

Beautiful you:

Have you checked if your make-up is right? Good. You have people looking, so things had better be right! You demand to be noticed all the time, so a well-stacked dressing table is part of every Leo household! And yes, you do have a crowning mane to speak of! That, with your large and expressive eyes, should get hearts beating! Did we forget those sexy shoulders?

You don't mind spending hours in front of the mirror for the right look. And if your brand of shampoo has to be shipped from the jungles of Brazil, so be it. You wear vibrant colours, lemony perfumes, and you're not afraid to take risks to get your point across. Your true beauty comes from your readiness to share yourself and your gifts, your generous affection and your loyal, pure heart.

You, the fitness freak:

You believe in hiring a personal trainer in order to get individual attention. You're likely to persist with frequent aerobic workouts, even if you don't like them. Looking and feeling good is important to you. You are very competitive, you always feel the need to lead and be first. You like to help the underdog, and will be fair about making sure everyone gets a chance to play. The authoritarian Lion rules the heart and back, so cardiovascular exercise is important. When going to the gym, you may want to run a few extra laps -- but only after a vigorous stretching session on the mat. You are very finicky about your looks and appearance. At the gym you're likely to be the one in designer sweats.

Fashionably Yours:

You see a slinky new outfit the shop window. Almost immediately, you are seized by an insane desire to possess it. Not that the price tag will deter you. Sounds familiar? Price tags and labels rule what you buy. You would probably never patronise an unheard-of designer. You could never be seen in public wearing anything but top quality. And if comfort hinders you, it has to be restricted to the backburner.

Anything daring with a bold display of colours is your cup of tea, as long as it makes you look good. Business suits are for the workplace, and you wear them well, but in your own time you prefer flowing, elegant garments, custom-tailored to your shape. It's imperative that you look the part of royalty. You excel at wearing flashy, pricey jewelry. Your Sign rules the back, so going backless or strapless to the right soiree is never out of place. Favorite colours are gold, bronze and orange; whether you choose to wear these as an electric splash or a bold statement is your decision. You'll purr over anything that calls attention to the Lion's mane, it's handcrafted barrettes, colourful rubber bands or jewelled tiaras. One thing is for certain: Leo knows how to dress for success.

Travel and you :

Who is that stepping from that gilded carriage? Royalty? A world leader? Nah, it's probably just you. You know how to travel in style, and if it's not in a Cinderella-like carriage, it's probably via the Orient Express or the Concorde. You love to be treated like royalty because in your world, you're just that. When you hit the road, it's first-class all the way. Bigger is always better for you, so think of the Grand Tour, a hacienda in Cuernavaca or a private Greek island. And while you are possessed of considerable physical strength and stamina, you'd much rather have a car and driver take you from one splendid sight to the next. Organised and creative as you are, you love to set the agenda when travelling, and it'll surely be a good one. You'll also travel with a few friends in tow, the better for all to see what shining stars you are. Royalty needs its court, after all. You won't dawdle over any one part of the journey, either -- a quick peek at the Mona Lisa is fine, just enough to tell the folks back home about it. Travel for you is all about ease, which is why you pack all those credit cards. Someone will worry about the bill later.

Your Taste buds

You are a connoisseur of food, and would want the best of everything. So if you need French wine flown in from France, so be it.

LEISURE TALK

Books:

The Lion has a penchant for romance, so a nice tear-jerker should keep you occupied. Your reading has to have a sense of balance, so John Grisham should enjoy as much importance as Emily Bronte.

Chocolates:

You would probably first grab a fistful if chocolates on offer. You love chocolates, and make it very evident.

Movies:

Great dramatic films and blockbuster romances are your pride. You only want to watch the big stars in action, and would throw your nose up in the air at debutants. A film like Titanic would best describe your canvas. If the film were a blockbuster, you would be the first one to have watched it.

Music:

The Lion listens only to the biggest and best of all the musical genres. You worship at the altar of The Beatles. A fair share of your respect is also reserved for stars such as Michael Jackson. No flash in the pan acts for you!

Restaurants:

You would dine like royalty does, so nothing less than a five-star restaurant for you. Three-course meals in the best restaurants in the world are right up your alley.

Sports:

A born leader with stamina and a yen for competition, you will lead the pack in every event. Challenging games like river rafting are up your street.

Television:

You need action and drama. Any action flick, and you are game for it. Blood and gore has never deterred you. As you watch each of the episodes, you wish you would rather be fighting the goons.

Pets:

Your Leo pet will expect oodles of love and attention. Thank the stars he is not human, otherwise he will demand a new bauble everyday. The Leo pet will run the show, but with such incredible charm that you never know what passed you by. These pets are spoiled rotten, and no other way works for them. Sometimes this can make them a little lazy and aloof.

You had better be prepared to spend a substantial amount of your time with this pet. They will expect to be groomed, worshipped and pampered. If you do achieve this, you can be assured of the pet's undying love.

The Leo pet has the incredible knack of being the centre of attention, and will be popular with other pets in the neighbourhood. They will be a big part of the family, too. They might even take over if you're not careful! The Leo pet needs a lot of attention, but would not flinch when it comes to acts of courage. Your pet would pull you out of any sticky situation. And if it attains star status in the bargain, nothing like it! Finally, be sure your Leo pet gets enough exercise -- these pups need to watch their big, loyal and loving heart.

Gifts:

Leos love being in the limelight, and in the middle of an idea. Give them a gift that adds value to their creativity. Leos love style, so your gift better be flashy. Fine jewellery goes down well with the Lion, so take your time choosing a trinket. Leos love to gamble, so a lottery ticket would also be a good gift. Remember, the Lion is the king of the zodiac, so some royal treatment would take you a long way.

Great gifts:

Lottery tickets, a Swiss Army knife or watch, oil paints, champagne, fine clothing, a classic leather briefcase, season tickets to the opera or theater, a piece of tasteful art, wine-tasting classes, a gift certificate for a gourmet restaurant, fancy cuff-links, a nice bottle of wine.

CAREER

You, the employee:

As a Leo employee, you will be used effectively in promotion and sales. You are a natural showman, and you will keep customers happy with your warm, sunny disposition.

Underneath your brave front, you secretly fear you have no real courage. Despite the fear, you carry on with your extreme vanity and insufferable ego. But you are invaluable when it comes to a crisis. Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, you show yourself to be the steady one.

You have a fetish for authority. If you can't be the boss, you must have a position where you can display your talents and abilities to the world in some way. If the role of executive or leader is denied to you, you are happier as teachers, salesmen, doctors, lawyers, managers, counsellers, speakers, announcers, actors, actresses, writers or even plumbers and tourist guides. You seek an occupation which allows you to give your superior knowledge to others in some manner, or to stand in the bright spotlight of publicity.

You work harder than anyone else to keep a steady stream of compliments coming. Flattery eggs you on, and bereft of it, you perform to only half of your actual potential. You will be hired mainly for the excitement you provide in the workplace.

You, the boss:

As a Leo boss, you expect to be at the top of the heap. You will take credit for the most creative strategy, even if an employee came up with it. You achieve it most of the time, thanks to your charm.

Once you get every last ounce of credit you deserve, with some surplus respect, you will dole out generous praise to your employees. You are also prompt to point out to mistakes with little discretion.

You have a trace of arrogance, but it is tempered with good-natured optimism. You keep things humming and running smoothly. You were born to command, with an enviable talent for assigning the right jobs to the right people and seeing that they're finished on time.

You can be an entertaining boss. You have a fearful rage, and then pout behind closed doors for hours when you think you've been insulted. Your greatest weakness is a generous dose of flattery.

As an employer, you cannot stand being ignored. You are not the kind to hide your light under a bushel. If tribute isn't paid to your vanity, you seek greener pastures. You can't bear to be underestimated.

Being in command is your strongest need. You revel in the regular dose of flattery and attention. If frequently placated, you can be a delight to work with.

You, the colleague:

You will want a major share of the limelight. But, remember, there are lots of other people who make the organisation, so you cannot take all the honours! A tinge of envy is also likely to show up, which you have to tackle right at the beginning. Yours is a constant tussle in one-upmanship. It will be tough on the others!

Careers and you:

If there's someone who likes being the centre of attention, it's you. You are giving, proud, energetic, confident -- the world can't help but look! You draw attention easily, thanks to your larger-than-life personality. You make great role models since the signature qualities of leadership, truth and justice are ones that you seek. As much as you like being in the spotlight, there really is plenty of room for a team to assemble all around. Your team is the winning team, and a happy bunch of cats it is.

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You love to be centrestage, playing to an adoring audience. You also love beauty and riches and often seem to be pampered with both. When not on stage, it's easy to spot you in a crowd. You are always the most magnetic presence in the room. You are a risk taker, but generally only if the odds are in your favour. You hate to lose. Extravagance is your middle name! You will find a way to make money, because you surely know how to spend it -- and will. Managing money would definitely crimp your freewheeling style. If you do overspend, you are generally resourceful enough to get back on track. When things get really bad, you will pay a visit to the banker, since you could never borrow from a friend.

Stretch the buck:

Don't you just love you icon status? You are the star of the zodiac, and preen before an adoring audience. You love to surround yourself with beautiful things. It is also important for you to carve out a place in the sun. You are also the natural leader of the zodiac. You are always game for a risk, but only if the odds are in your favour. You do not shy away from the gambling den, as long as you can take home the day's winnings! Your gambling streak is a good thing, as long as it does not interfere with your fragile ego.

You firmly believe that money is there to give you everything you deserve, whether it be a great house, a zippy sports car, or other fancy things you can play with. You thrive on extravagance, and will certainly find ways to make all the money!

You cringe at the idea of managing money, and would do with God in the guise of an accountant. But if you do overspend, you are wise enough to get back on track.

Your secret to success, however, is a very generous spirit. You would lend your last penny, and since what goes around comes around, you'll always find your way to a few more.

Welcome to the Virgo Room!

The Water Bearer always thinks fifty years ahead in time!

Find out this and more, as you go through your special room!

Virgo

Ruled by Mercury

A Feminine Negative Mutable Earth Sign

Polar or Opposite Sign: Pisces

Colour: Brown and russet-reds

Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac, lasting from August 24 - September 23

They often have the quiet, unsophisticated air of an inexperienced person, which can be deceptive. They are reliable, sincere, methodical and precise, have an enquiring mind and a critical eye for detail. They see life as a never-ending series of tasks and duties, some pleasant, some difficult - but all of them very necessary. Negative Virgoan traits include a capacity for endless worry.

Physical appearance:

Virgoans have good bone structure and are often highly photogenic. They are attractive, with beautiful eyes that sparkle with intelligence. Curiously, many Virgoans have a slightly unbalanced way of walking.

Relationships:

They are quiet, undemonstrative people and cautious with strangers. They can be slow when forming new friendships, but are truthful and loyal with those they trust. Virgoans can be tense in close relationships, which could badly upset their sex lives and make it hard for them to become truly intimate with those they love.

Career:

They are usually happy working in a job that calls for precision, a shrewd mind, and logic. Dogged, analytical and intellectual, they make skilled and inspired research scientists, analysts or even literary critics. They are money-oriented and tend to dabble with stocks and shares.

Health:

They are often martyrs to their stomachs, and many suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which greatly embarrasses and inconveniences them. Many also suffer from food allergies. They need plenty of fresh air to balance their energies. The answer to their ailments lies in Yoga and Meditation.

Ideal Partner:

They get attracted to opposites and vibe well with dreamy Pisceans.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

The first thing one notices about you is the definite impression you give that there's a serious problem on your mind.

You are particular about how you dress. You are an elegant, if not a compulsive dresser.

You are unquestionably dependable and sincere. Nevertheless, you can make up an excuse if your heart is not convinced about doing something. Your approach to romance is very practical. You never let love cloud your eyes. You value lasting relationships, and are prepared to wait for them to happen.

You shine with a clever wit and project a bright charm that's hard to resist.

You as a man:

You live life almost entirely on a practical, material level, and you have little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Your idea of love is synonymous with duty. Sugary romance is not quite your style.

Self-discipline is part of your nature. Once you make up your mind, you move on, regardless of what will result.

You place great emphasis on intellect and train your children rigidly in matters of ethics, courtesy and good citizenship.

You are uncomfortable with physical expressions of love. You need to become more generous with those hugs and kisses. There's also a tendency to be too critical, to expect too much too soon and to be too strict.

You as a woman:

You are bashful, but you have all the necessary wiles and weapons, including a determination to pursue happiness. You seek romance, and commitment is an integral part of it. If you are in love, you go to any lengths to make sure it works. On the flip side, if you are in an unhappy relationship, you will snap the cords with ease.

You can be deadly practical and divinely romantic at the same time. You are a perfectionist, but not perfect yourself. You have your negative traits. You can be sickeningly prompt, and think that you are the best critic in the world.

You as a child:

You live in a world of make-believe. Your talent for acting is seen early in life. You have excellent observation skills. Your sense of perfection shows up early. You have a fetish for neatness, and tend to put away your toys cheerfully.

You talk nineteen to the dozen, but your bashful nature surfaces when there are strangers around. You need little minding, and cheerfully do what you are told.

In school, you are the teacher's favourite, because you are the easiest to discipline. You hate being ticked off. Too much stress on mistakes can cause you to worry unnecessarily.

You are keen to question knowledge.

( V I R G O - L o v e F o r Y o u )

2007-10-20T05:07:00.000-07:00

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Capricorn

A romance with you is a roller-coaster ride of excellent taste, since you love things being in order. You also wait and watch where romance is concerned, perhaps because being in love for you means falling hard. Being a perfectionist, you also aim to please, and your beloved is one happy individual.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Cancer

You are just one of the few people who are able to truly act out how you feel. Emotional, passionate, and creative, you can direct your energies in ways that nurture yourself and others. You are in tune with yourself, which provides you with the knowledge of what pleases you in life. This makes for a sensual romantic partner. You are also sensitive to the needs of the people around you, and willingly succeed in fulfilling them. Your memory is sharp and clear, and you are able to expend great energy in seeing something through to its end. Your endeavours are enriched by great imagination, but make sure you use it to your advantage. You offer emotional security to your lovers and are happiest when surrounded by an expressive partner.

You in Relationships:

Your easygoing nature makes you a reliable and steady sort. Your devotion also signals that you will work very hard to take any relationship far. You strive for the perfect relationship. You feel truly rewarded when the one you love is willing to give you time in the relationship. You are independent, and may seem cold on the outside, but your potent charms will merit a truly deserving partner.

Are you in love?

Even when in love, you analyse the situation and explore it deeply. This shows you as steady and solid. You love giving as well as receiving passion and joy. You will have one happy partner, for you really know how to make him feel special! You revere a relationship blessed with total honesty. Love comes to you slowly, carefully and sweetly, and the desire to learn all about you lover makes you an ideal lover.

Getting Intimate:

You are a perfectionist Virgo personified, and never overlook the little details. All you need is a lover who can bring out your sensual self. What they will get in return is a confident lover. A cool exterior tends to mask your wild side, often a fantasy world filled with dreams safely under wraps.

What you need:

You need someone who can match your perfection. You want a strong and free lover who will draw you out and acquaint you with pleasure. You need a partner who will draw you out of your shell and can communicate easily. For you, God is in the details and doing things right. You know that small things in life do matter.

You must know

What you should do:

Clean the inside of your nails, and tuck every hair in place. The Virgo is a perfectionist, and loves cleanliness.

The Virgo attention to detail will rattle you, but be patient. You will be rewarded with quality love in return.

Try and keep pace with the Virgo wit and intellectual abilities. The Virgo is not patient with immaturity.

Show appreciation in small doses. The Virgo will shrug it away, and pretend that he does not need it. Persist, and you will be rewarded.

Wait for the magic to happen. The Virgo trust is not for all and sundry. Once you have earned, you can be assured of security and undivided attention.

What you should not do:

Don't sit back while your Virgo partner is slaving away. The Virgo appreciates perfection, and believes everyone has to be self-reliant.

If you expect the Virgo to be at your beck and call at all times, forget it. Virgo is the sign of service, always eager to lend a helping hand.

Don't underestimate the passion of a Virgo. Perfectionism carries over into every aspect of their life, including relationships.

Go easy on the criticism. The Virgo likes to think he is perfect, and would rectify his own mistakes. Point out an error, and watch them sulk.

Don't get lax with your cooking. The Virgo likes good, healthy food, and every morsel goes under the microscope.

Sign Speak

Baby, you must be a broom, 'cause you just swept me off my feet.

( V I R G O - L i f e S t y l e )

2007-10-20T05:01:00.001-07:00

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

You probably must be tired of hearing how beautiful you look. You wonder if something fishy is going on. Relax, it is just your diligent beauty regimen doing the trick.

Your attention to detail is what keeps you looking smashing. One look at your cabinet, and you have a product for every feature there is! Good brands would probably name you customer of the year! You are brand loyal, and this is the secret of your appearance! Quality is your watchword, and you know exactly what you want.

You prefer light, feminine scents and soft, muted earth tones. Your greatest asset is your practical attitude and your self-assuredness. Now that is indeed a lethal combination!

You, the fitness freak:

Virgo is the Sign of Health, which means that you're very conscious of your body's vitality. You generally skip dessert in favor of some delicious fruit and bran, which is good for your intestines -- the part of the body that Virgo rules. You're one of the few signs who really loves the whole routine of exercise and looks at it as leisure rather than work. Long bike rides could be your best workout bet. Golf is also a good idea. You are all to take the steady route to success, so you will avoid anything high-impact. Extreme sports are likely to upset those with nervous stomachs. It's probably best to stick with a more standard jogging routine.

Fashionably You:

Every night, no matter how late, you would run a hot iron over a set of clothes. To you, looking good stems out of an essential neatness, and you achieve this with ease.

You turn your nose at trends. You have never been able to figure out how people wear clothes with straps that threaten to fall off! Comfort is important to you, and absurd trends leave you cold.
Price is important to you, but never at the cost of quality. The outfits you buy are simple, tailored to fit and will last a lifetime. For fun, you might give in and wear a crop top to display a belly of which they can be truly proud.

Your hair is always tied back, or cut to a comfortable length, and this never goes out of fashion. Natural colors and fabrics in browns and beiges fit you just fine. Jewellery is not quite your style, but you might just succumb. One exclusive trinket is what you will allow. But that will suffice, to draw attention!

Travel and you:

Anyone travelling with you need not wear a watch, since you have an internal (and external) clock which hums to perfection. When travelling, you can jump out of bed at 7 AM, make a 7:35 train, pull into the station at the scheduled 8:32 and know that the next bus is due in seven minutes. Is this even fun? You bet, since you are highly organised and love a routine, even when travelling. Better yet, call it a rhythm, for hitting the road with you will be a delicious mix of sightseeing, knowledge-gathering and good, clean fun. And heaven help the one who upsets this apple cart! You love this sense of order, thank you very much, meticulously planning your trips well in advance. You want to experience as many things as possible and will try to fit it all in on every trip, the better to get your money's worth. The major museums would certainly be visited in Florence, while the best Cajun bets would be savoured in The Big Easy. Looks count, too, which is why your luggage is always nice and the day's attire is both clean and pressed. Although you enjoy travelling with a partner, you are also perfectly happy to hit the road alone. Whatever the case, it will be a sensible journey!

Your taste buds:

You like health food in general. You love cooking a meal, as long as you know everything will proceed in order. You have good taste when it comes to either making or consuming a meal.

( V I R G O - L e i s u r e T a l k )

2007-10-20T04:54:00.000-07:00

LEISURE TALK

Books:

You are quick-minded and detail-intensive, and would love getting straight to the point. You don't mind poring over books filled with facts. They are the best source of intrigue. And yes, with you around, the encyclopedia will never gather dust.

Chocolates:

You will first assess each ingredient of the chocolate, and determine if they have passed your quality test. You are also fair, so if there are a 100 different people around, each will get a bit of chocolate.

Movies:

You do not have time to watch anything that won't improve your life in some way. You might just watch a Jane Goodall documentary to unwind. When you need to have a few laughs, a Charlie Chaplin film will work just fine.

Music:

The music you listen to should not distract you from the task at hand. And yes, what is said in a song is as important to you as the song, and meaningful lyrics score.

Restaurants:

You probably frequent a handful of restaurants, and think twice before you try a new one. And yes, the kitchen had better be as impressive as the rest of the décor!

Sports:

You will gravitate toward sports that provide mental stimulation and fitness, all at once. Sports like basketball, gymnastics or hang gliding fit the bill.

Television:

You are perhaps one of the few ardent watchers of quiz shows and nature documentaries. You would also watch self-help shows. Soap operas are a waste of time and emotions.

Pets:

You need to summon your patience with a Virgo pet. These animals can be picky, and will drive you mad in no time.

Your Virgo pet needs order, so a set schedule can work wonders. Virgo pets are also prone to hypochondria, so they'll forever be wincing or yelping about this or that. Get used to it!

However, you will soon get used to caring for this pet, for what they need is a stable routine. The Virgo pet enjoys being walked at the same time of the day, down the same route. You don't have to tear your hair over variety! These animals are also neat and clean, so see that the place they sleep in is neat and clean. If not, the pet could get finicky and look elsewhere. You will be thankful this pet is not demanding. They are quite happy with their old playthings. They also have a great attention to detail, something that makes them good guard animals.

While the Virgo pet can seem demanding at times, it's only because they know what they want and are counting on you to help them get it. Keep things simple and consistent, and you'll both be happy.

Gifts:

Virgos love the understated, so a classy gift would work wonders. Virgos are also well organised, so give them a gift which would help them keep track. A calendar or a digital diary would be the ideal gift. Virgos have a head for money, so a gift of bonds would certainly make them happy. What with their astute business sense, they would soon reap rich rewards. Virgos also enjoy keeping fit, so a gym membership would help. People born under this sign also have a love for pets, so pick up a dog from the local SPCA and see the special Virgo someone's face light up.

Great gifts:

A gym membership, roller blades, a massage or spa treatment, stocks or bonds, a wallet, a key ring, a pet, an exercise cycle, a diary, an organiser, a plant, a nice bottle of wine, a calculator.

2007-10-20T04:42:00.000-07:00

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are a gem of an employee and will be treasured for a long time. Your employer will let go of you rather reluctantly. You are uncomfortable with moving up the ladder too quickly, and would rather prefer a gradual approach. You value your work, but you are also conscious of appreciation and recognition. You do not hesitate to move on if you feel the policies are unreasonable. You project the image of being selfless, but know where to draw the line.

You are a certified workaholic. You have an innate fear of being feeble and dependent, and this is what drives you ahead. You have a perfect eye for detail, but sometimes, it can get too perfect to be comfortable. You value perfection more than titles. But you do not hesitate to turn on the charm when really needed.

You soon find that people bank on your strong analytical skills to sort out a problem. Your powers of discrimination are excellent, and you can sense if there is a right solution in sight.

Your sense of ethics is strong, and you are comfortable working without supervision. You detest short cuts, and would spend hours splitting hairs over a logical solution. You are slow, but sure.

You, the boss:

You do not have the drive to be the high-powered executive who makes the policy decisions. Very few Virgos are comfortable in positions of authority. You are most comfortable being behind the scenes, running the company like a well-oiled machine. You are good at carrying out the original ideas of others. You hardly waste your emotions, and are uncomfortable being a listening post for troubles. You are also ill-at ease with praise. You simply cannot fire orders at subordinates. You are uneasy with wearing many hats at the same time. That is what makes you such a reluctant boss. You are excellent at piecing parts of a problem, but miss the whole issue completely. You make a few bad decisions this way. You are needed to pull a few punches when needed. But you call a spade a spade, and your much-needed diplomacy surfaces. You sometimes make decisions in self-defence and fail to cover up for it. Deception does not become you, and you end up being accused of being sly and hypocritical. You eventually do some soul-searching, and realise that you are better off running the machinery, rather than being a part of it. But while you are at it, you are generous with the criticism. Once your employees will soon see through your perfectionist façade, and discover a kindhearted boss.

You, the colleague :

Well, one thing which will work in your favour is your ability to make intelligent conversation. You will never run out of topics to discuss, and this will prove to be a great intellectual stimulant. This will ensure that you seek people out, provided you don’t indulge in a round of nit-picking every time you meet. Let your critical attitude take a backseat from time to time. You need it.

Careers and you:

Need a quick fix? Then you would probably be called. You simply love to analyse and bat things around and are bound to come up with some answers. You are a talker and a helper and like to facilitate solutions as a service to others. Even so, you crave independence and a space of your own, so not all your cards will be laid on the table -- some things are best kept private.

MONEY AND YOU

Money and You:

You are sensible and self-reliant and manage money very well. As befits your cautious and reflective nature, you like to size up a situation first, making you a good business partner. You are also a chronic worrier, so you will definitely mind the store! The accounts will always be in order, and you can really stretch a buck, being as measured as you are. Having money in the bank is a bonus for you since it will eliminate one more worry! You believe that "some of the best things in life are for free" and really mean it! You are rarely a big spender, hate to borrow, and hate to lend money even more. About the only time you will lend is to a family member in need or in a case where you are sure you will get it back. The fun for you isn't in spending money, it's in cultivating less tangible assets such as knowledge and friendship. Now that's golden!

Stretch the buck:

You are born with the magic gift of managing money. You highly analytical nature makes you a worthy business partner anyone would be glad to snap up. A business with you involved will run like a well-oiled machine, since perfection is the name of the game.

You always see to it that the account books are in order, and are blessed with the ability to stretch the buck. You take comfort from all the money stashed away in the bank, as it spares you one more worry. You also hate wasting money. You definitely save for a rainy day and don't mind working hard to do so, especially since it keeps you from having to depend on others, a perennial concern.

You are a wizard at budgeting, and can have fun on very little. You can impart valuable lessons on how "The best things in life come free." You are not a big spender, and hate to borrow and lend money. About the only time you'll lend is to a family member in need or in a case where you're sure to get it back. You love the idea of a regular paycheque. You will not be found anywhere near the vicinity of a gambling den, since you believe that a bird in hand is worth a lot more!

Libra

Ruled by Venus

A Masculine Positive Cardinal Air Sign

Polar or Opposite sign: Aries

Colour: Royal Blue and Rose Pink

Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac, from September 24 to October 23. Librans are natural arbitrators and diplomats; they constantly seek balance and harmony. They are sociable, cheerful and charming people. Indecision is a problem for Librans, who find it difficult to make up their minds and strongly dislike taking sides. Although they hate anyone being rude, they can be disconcertingly brash and blunt.

Physical Appearance:

Librans are personable, smart and attractive in appearance. They have sweet open faces with laughing eyes, and a devastating smile. They tend to be plump rather than angular or skinny. They have an innate sense of style, adding a personal touch to their clothes, which makes them stand out.

Relationships:

Librans are sentimental and affectionate. The overriding purpose of an unattached Libran is to find his or her soulmate. They make romance their business and really know how to flatter their loved ones. Unfortunately they're not very good at handling relationships. They are liable to extreme mood swings and can be very difficult to live with.

Career:

They like light-hearted offices with a relaxed atmosphere, and appreciate being left to themselves in order to work at their own pace. Librans are attracted to careers in the luxury trades, including fashion, beauty and design. They also make good diplomats and counsellors. Many Librans are not ambitious but simply proud to be associated with successful organisations.

Health:

With their roller-coaster emotions, Librans tend to suffer from nervous stomachs and ulcers. They can over-indulge in food and wine and may suffer kidney and bladder problems. Librans need to drink plenty of water in order to flush out the toxins from their kidneys. They should concentrate on holistic therapies and spiritual exercises for their well-being.

Ideal Partner:

Librans get along with most star signs. However, it's peace-loving, gentle Taureans that captivate their attention for life.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

You are the sunny Libra, who can charm your way into people's hearts. You are in a hurry to get to the top, but learn to take things easy when it really matters.

You have a rich emotional palette. You have a philosophic approach to both sorrows and joys that seldom fails to smoothen things out eventually. Your character is made up of equal parts of kindness, gentleness, fairness, plain cussed argumentativeness, stubborn refusal to capitulate, philosophical logic and indecision.

Impatience angers you, and you do not take kindly to hastily made decisions.

You are wholesome and well balanced. You are normally scrupulously honest, and there's very little carelessness about you.

You as a man:

You have a bit of a roving eye, especially during youth. You fail to draw the line between friendship and love.

You love being around a small group of people. You sparkle and make intelligent conversation, but when the group is over a dozen, you run for cover.

You need harmony to remain stable, and this holds good for your relationships.

What you lack in commitment, you make up for in charm. For you, romance is an exhilarating experience.

While all this sounds very rosy, you do a double take when it comes to a permanent relationship. You like to be in love, but do not take the initiative to take the relationship forward.

You as a woman:

You are blessed with a clear Libra wit. You also revel in debate and argument. You make allowances for all opinions, and wait until all cards are on the table.

Partnerships, in both business and romance, constitute your deepest need. You are happiest when living with another person, but treading on toes is not quite your style.

Being a woman is sort of a lifetime occupation to you, and you are bound to arrive at perfection somewhere along the line. One of your womanly talents is that of talking, and you use it to perfection.

You are normally gentle as a mother, yet quite firm when the need arises. Your children are never neglected or ignored.

You as a child:

You look straight out of the pages of a baby book as an infant. With your sweet expression and pleasant features, you are quite a charmer. You play the role of sweet, endearing child to perfection, and soon you will have your parents eating out of your hands.

You resent any set rules, but a little affection can get you to fall in line.

If you are raised with proper balance, you can be a delight to your teachers. You will be a stickler for obeying the rules, as long as you've convinced yourself the rules aren't loopy.

( L I B R A - L o v e For You )

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Taurus.

You love the good things in life. You love to rake in the money, it means you are safe and secure. You are not discriminating in your appreciation for creativity and culture of any realm. You will enjoy things as diverse as the opera, fine food, wine, performances, art and music. You are blessed with the capacity to savour each moment to the fullest extent, and instinctively seek out the beauty in your surroundings. However, you may want to watch out for a possessive streak! You will be happiest in a relationship that provides you with a real sense of belonging and stability.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Scorpio

You come closest to possessing the irresistible charm. You may have been told that you are magnetic, extremely desirable, and very intense.

You come up with fabulous plans, one always more ingenious than the next. You may even outwit yourself at times. You are able to remain focused in situations that take patience and perseverance. You are also able to influence people in a positive manner. You are also determined to fight to the finish. You offer emotional depth to your relationships and are happiest when others provide you with what you are seeking.

You in Relationships:

Your magnanimous outlook is a boon in relationships and this attribute makes you a pleasure to be with. You want to be loved and lusted after, although you refuse to take the lead initially. In a relationship, you can alternate between being the dependant and dominant partner, based on your analysis of what you can get from a relationship.

Are you in Love?:

You enjoy being in love, and the heady feeling this state can bring. You admire beauty and seek pleasure and what better way to do it than being in love? You are a perfect conquest and can make the art of love a sensual state. You would ideally want the other person to take the lead, and teach you about being a more evolved lover.

Getting Intimate:

You would rather make love with the mind. Mental fireworks are just the beginning of a perfect relationship. Since you like to be in balance, though, you often think of what your beloved wants. You love a gifted and attractive partner, since you feel your partner is receiving just that.
What You Need You need a partner who can encourage you to be honest, open and trusting. You also thrive on feedback and support, and like being told that you are loved. Wooing you with gifts is the right thing to do. You are a harmonious person who adores love, beauty and romance. Anyone who can take this principle forward to newer heights is in for a surprise!

You must know

What you should do:

Make sure there is harmony in the relationship always. The Libra hates it when the apple cart is upset.

Know your Bach from your Beethoven. The Libra has a great interest in the arts, and will expect you to keep up, too!

Tuck away little gifts for your Libra. They love surprises.

Make sure your Libra has a say in every matter. For the Libra, a good courtship is all about sharing things.

You must know that a likes to consider issues carefully. If something is taking too long, wait. Don't push.

What you should not do:

Don't be a frump, when it comes to your relationship. The Libra loves spontaneity, so keep those little surprises tucked away.

Complaining about the Libra laziness can be sacrilege. Your Libra may not be a great help with the chores, don't expect it.

Don't ever mention that the your special someone looks ill. The Libra likes to remain in robust health all the time.

Snap decisions are just not made for the Libra. Let them mull over what is best for them.

Don't expect the Libra to make major decisions quickly. Weighing issues is a Libra art, so make use of it!

Sign Speak :

If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be walking through my garden forever.

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

Admit it. You do have a secret formula for looking good. Stunning, yet casual, you manage to draw attention. And with very little work. You are blessed with an inherent ability to charm. This helps you steal a march over the others. You have loads of confidence, and this helps you put your best foot forward - all the time.

Maybe God just decided to be kind to you, and grant you all the beauty. Your skin is to die for. You look at life objectively and this balance shows in your supple skin. You look lovely in greens and pinks, and you bathe in warm, floral scents.

You turn heads all the time, but you know it, don't you? And it all comes so easily! Your beauty comes from your poise, good looks and powers of persuasion. Now who could resist that?

You, the fitness freak :

You always want a workout buddy. Your motivation for going to the gym, besides socializing, is an interest in looking and feeling your best. Libra is a Cardinal Sign, which means you do get carried away by new fads. You may splurge on an outfit for your tai chi class but think twice about spending on a gym membership. You usually need to work on your follow-through. You were probably first in line to exchange your roller skates for blades, and now you want to go back. Team sports don’t excite you. You dislike the discord of competing against the other side. You want an allover workout, so swimming and ice-skating are in. You could even excel on the balance beam.

Fashionably Yours:

Do your friends want to take you shopping all the time? No surprises, since you do have excellent taste. If your friend is going on a first date, he will know whom to turn to for advise on threads.

You will have trouble deciding on which outfit to wear - you have so many of them stashed away! You blow all your money on clothes, and no price tag is too daunting for you.

You decide days in advance what to wear. Throwing together an outfit in the morning is sacrilege to you. You simply don't understand how the others do it. You will not get your belly button pierced just because it is in fashion. There is a sense of balance to what you wear. It looks like you would brave the world with the no make-up look, but this is just some deft strokes at work.

Jewellery, too, only serves to highlight your best features. The rich shade of the sapphire works best with your desire for comfortable blue tones. Libra loves to shop, and it shows.

Travel and you:

Taking the focus off yourself and aiming it at others is what you are all about, and that certainly applies when you're on the road. You are loath to travel alone, much preferring the company of another, especially your partner. And you are always in synch with their travelling companion. "Honey, if you're happy, I'm happy," is a common refrain from you on the road. Much like the Scales which represent you, you seek harmony and balance when travelling. Consequently, it's likely that you will have an agenda which matches your mate's, as you work to avoid conflict at all costs. And speaking of cost, an excursion with you will cost a pretty penny! You simply adore luxury, ruled as you are by Venus, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Pleasure. Five-star hotels and the best food and wine are only the beginning -- oh, the trinkets on which your will fixate! Someone had best have deep pockets or plenty of plastic to finance this journey. As well, you have to look good in order to feel good when on the road. Your sociable nature will also take you to many glittering events, so a pressed tux or twinkling evening gown will be in that bag. And will you chat everyone up when you get there? Absolutely!

Your Taste buds:

Libra gets two of everything in a meal, and it may take you a little while to decide which dish they prefer. But anything laced with mint or ginger should make your day. Vanilla ice cream remains your eternal favourite

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

2007-10-20T03:53:00.000-07:00

LEISURE TALK

Books:

The romance genre tops the Libra list of priorities. So you would not mind shedding copious tears over a suffering Scarlet in Gone With Wind. Any mushy, soppy love story should make your day.

Chocolates:

Libra loves variety in chocolates. Be it white dark, white or bitter, you do enjoy the melt-in-the mouth feeling. You also share your chocolates.

Movies:

You are happy with a little of all worlds, and will watch whatever is on, just so long as you don't have to pick the film. Check out When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle for the romantic displays of two people working everything out in the end.

Music:

You can't decide which type of music is your favourite, you just want to keep your music to yourself. You don't mind listening to Britney Spears because your teenage sister loves it, and then play an oldie. This makes for your eclectic tastes in music.

Restaurants:

You take your refinement and charm to an equally sophisticated eating establishment. Five-star dining in the best restaurant around is right in style with your tastes.

Sports:

You are most comfortable working in twos, and seek out mental sports played in pairs or activities that put your balance to the test; for example, gymnastics, figure skating, handball or skateboarding.

Television:

Glued to LA Law and The Practice, right? You love shows which deal with the law, that should explain the Scales symbol. Reruns of old romantic movies are what you would enjoy on a rainy night.

Pets:

Don't expect your Libra pet to be a lone ranger! Libra animals love to have company around them, the more, the better. Don't be surprised if your Libra canine has others gathering around him when being walked.
Be sure that your pet has enough friends. Or be prepared for him to mope around. Your Libra pet loves harmony, and any bad vibes can prove harmful. The Libra pet sure does like to preen. So a mandatory thousand brushes a day may as well be part of your routine. In addition to the good life, your pet will also want to eat well, so make sure there is enough food in the bowl. Travel will excite your Libra pet. So don't leave him behind when you are packing up. Even if this means a quick walk to the grocery store, take your pet along.

Lastly, this is a pet who is very eager to please. If you're nice to your Libra pet, they'll give you plenty in return!

Gifts:

Libra is symbolic of partnership, which means they are more interested in others than in themselves. Do you know how to put a smile on the Libra's face? Gift him a photo album where he can stack his photographs, or capture a rare moment. Mount the photograph on a beautiful frame, and see the special Libra in your life glow! The Libran loves reading, and a good biography is a source of inspiration. Librans appreciate beautiful and sensual things, and like to look their best. Some make-up or a mirror would cater to their desires.

Great gifts:

Chocolates, books or magazine subscriptions, tasteful clothing, a wallet, a painting, a nice pen, a shaving kit, a picture frame, a biography of someone famous, a scrapbook for pictures of friends and family.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are efficient, but you need a perfect work environment to work well. If not, you retreat into a sullen silence, and offer no excuses for lousy work. The most important thing to you is harmony. Perfect justice is your ideal. This causes you to assume the role of peacemaker when quarrels arise. You are adept at clearing the air of disagreements.

It's difficult to figure just what annoys or pleases you. You hate today what you found delightful last month, and what you fancy today may not interest you tomorrow.

You are never the cause of office politics. You are the epitome of tact, clearing the air wherever needed. You bring your own personal aura of grace and beauty to everything you touch. You want to lead, and you are well qualified.

You may have a little trouble making up your mind at times. Your train of thought runs at breakneck speed when the destination is a decision, but it seldom goes off the track. After you have finally pulled into the station, you'll probably have the right answer. You are extremely artistic and bring a calming influence to your place of work. You are a valuable employee, fixing things at the right time. Every workplace needs one of you to keep the well-oiled machinery running.

You, the boss:

As a Libra boss, you are very restless and full of outgoing activity, yet you never seem to be in a hurry, a contradiction few people can manage. You have a fetish for frenzied activity. Born with a natural affinity for the element of air, you accomplish even frenzied action with so much easy grace, you almost seem to be standing still. In spite of your often shy, gentle manner, you are not an island. There's always a need to express yourself in some way, to communicate with others. You are sure to be intelligent. You are a persuasive talker and a great debater. You can sway a whole roomful of people effortlessly. You seek opinions frequently. There are several motives for your flattering interest in others' ideas. First of all, you want to be fair. You do not want to make either an unjust or unpopular decision. Another reason you feel compelled to gather all the pros and cons of an issue is because, without access to all the available facts, you feel incapable of making a wise assessment.

If you are a female Libra boss, like your male counterpart, you try to be fair. Your viewpoint on money is seldom neutral. You will either be the stingiest boss in town or the most generous.

You, the colleague:

Talk, talk and more talk! You make a perfect conversationalist, and there is very little you cannot talk on. But you also make up for it by working hard. Of course, who can resist the Libra charm? You will manage to get work done, but will also put in your little bit whenever needed.

Careers and you:

You are a constant seeker of truth. The sense of justice and fair play attached to you is remarkable. You enjoy the leader's role and will work hard to be worthy of the privilege. You crave the exchange of ideas, conversation and chatter, and if all this takes place in a social situation, even better. Harmony is important to you, as you enjoy beautiful surroundings. The mediator in you likes bringing people together, but you also enjoy having a partner at their side. You are motivated to keep your partnership sailing smoothly, and it's also likely to be a pretty ride, since you enjoy being in a beautiful world.

Libra Career Guide

Here are some occupations that a Libra might consider:

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You revel in beauty and harmony and often strive for perfection. You can be terribly indecisive, for although you love to please, you hate to make the wrong choice. You thoroughly appreciate money and what it can buy: the best that life has to offer. Fortunately, there is enough money around to keep you in the style to which you're accustomed. It's comfort and luxury which you crave, and you also feel it's your divine right! You do not enjoy making financial decisions as you consider it a bit tedious. You will pay the bills on time in one of two ways: by sheer luck or with the aid of a responsible partner. You will charm a pal into a loan. You won't hesitate to lend money as well. If you choose to do so, however, you will have saved up for the splurge since life is perfect when that bankbook is in balance!

Stretch the buck:

The Scales symbol was not attributed to you by accident. You love a perfectly balanced chequebook, and thrive on a sense of harmony. This attitude can lead to bouts of indecision, and you are likely to swing either ways. You are at your best with a partner, ideally someone who can help you achieve their goals.

You also have a healthy respect for money, since it ably supports an extravagant lifestyle. You also have the incredible knack of finding the money to buy those lovely knick knacks. You live on comfort, and find it pointless to scrimp when you can spend.

Much as you love the feel of money, you would much rather leave the financial decisions to others.

You need not worry about pending bills, since your responsible partner will pay them. You will never face a financial crisis, since you cam always charm a friend into a loan. You are also willing to lend the money, as long as it is a good risk.

It's not uncommon for you to blow the bank balance on one exceptional item, be it a work of art or luxury holiday.

Scorpio

Ruled by Pluto

A Feminine Negative Fixed Water Sign

Polar or opposite sign: Taurus

Colour: Black and red.

Scorpio is the eight sign of the Zodiac, stretching from October 24 to November 22. Most Scorpios have an intense emotional nature. No other sign of the Zodiac has more profound and enduring feelings than Scorpio. They are energetic, passionate and exciting. This is a sign of extremes, of black and white, dark and light; and this is often reflected in the ups and downs of their lives. Scorpions can be vindictive and possess a strong streak of venom. They make dangerous enemies.

Physical Appearance:

Scorpios are always striking, whether or not they are stunningly beautiful. They have a magnetic, forceful quality and dress elegantly. There is a strange mysticism and magnetism in the Scorpio personality, which is enchanting to the beholder.

Relationships:

Intense, sexual and demanding, they tend to use sex as a form of control. They see seduction as a form of possession and won't take no for an answer. They have a marked tendency to be both jealous and possessive. Though they make loyal friends, they can be vengeful when betrayed by a loved one.

Career:

Scorpios are traditionally associated with jobs that require delving and uncovering secrets, such as mining and detective work. They are conscientious and hardworking. They see money as an outward and visible sign of their dominance in a chosen field. They make demanding bosses but can also be surprisingly sympathetic towards their subordinates.

Health:

They suffer from chronic constipation, liver and kidney problems, and can quite often be diabetics. A shocking health scare could be a turning point, and may convert them into fitness freaks.

Ideal Partner:

Scorpios vibe best with Taureans. This sign gives them the material and emotional security they crave.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

You have a haunting sweetness and compassion which endears you to people. You are intensely loyal to friends, and this will be richly rewarded. You are heroic, dedicated to family ties and gently protective of weaker souls. You are fiercely ambitious, but your ambition is never obvious. You have a strange attachment to death. One of the strangest patterns in astrology is the death of a relative in the family within either a year before or the year after the birth of a Scorpio. And when a Scorpio dies, there will be a birth in the family within the year before or the year after. Your symbol is the triumphant phoenix rising from its own smouldering ashes.

You as a man:

You need emotional excess to survive. You thrive on a need to be loved and approved. In a word, you are invincible.

Normally, you will surround yourself with luxury. You love mysteries, and solving the puzzle of love is an irresistible challenge. Marriage gives you a certain security, but you will want to get out of it before it actually happens.

In a relationship with perfect understanding, you will be tender, sympathetic and considerate. You will repay your woman's loyalty with the kind of love most women only read about and wish for.

You as a woman:

You are magnetic, proud and totally confident. You are a strong woman, and hate to flutter your eyelashes and look pretty. You can be overbearing and domineering, sarcastic and frigid. You look for ambition in a man, and you cannot excuse his weakness.

You are fiercely possessive of your man. If he does not commit, you chase him, till you can get a positive answer.

You hate being possessed. You are also very stubborn. You refuse to see any viewpoint but your own when emotions are involved. Your passion for living can be all-consuming, yet in a real storm, your cool, calm reason and steely strength will be a life raft.

You as a child:

You need to be a winner very early in life. You have to learn to be considerate and a good sport. Because of your blunt speech and plainspoken manner, you seem forthright, but there is a great need for privacy.

You have a sharp, open mind and an uncanny perception of theories. You can be the biggest prankster, and still top the school honours list. A good teacher is all it takes to hone your skills.

You deeply respect your family circle. Whatever you become, you will be the best in your chosen field. You are determined enough to get what you want, and strong enough to hang on to it.

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Taurus

There is an irresistible magnetic quality surrounding you, a "come-chase-me" attitude which is most alluring. When this works, your passions are unleashed with hurricane force. If you let bouts of jealousy creep in, it may lead to an unwelcome result. You might steer clear of a relationship since it is a clash of wills, but a clever lover is someone who can dispel these notions to bring out the best in you.

Your Passion sign:

Your passion sign is Sagittarius

You are the lucky one with many people eating out of your hands. You are loads of fun. You have an inner integrity that is backed up by an honest and very integrated expression. You speak your mind clearly and strive to remain true to your idealistic sense of how people can relate to one another. You are adventuresome, and love freedom in all forms. Your active and carefree nature attracts multitudes, your excitement being almost impossible to quell. This type of energy can be contagious and will spread like wildfire. In love, you are in tune with both your spiritual nature, and your very strongly felt animal appetites. You infuse the two, bringing this so called duality together through physical expression. You are curious and expend a lot of your energy through endless discovery. You offer spontaneity to your relationships and are happiest when you find your kindred spirit.

You in Relationships:

You like to be in charge, and you convey it right from the start. This can make for an interesting and dynamic relationship. You are clear you want the absolute best where romance is concerned. Any relationship, which gives you a sense of power, wins hands down. You have a steely determination and a strong sense of what you really want. You are quick in finding the right lover, and this makes life very easy for you. As long as you win, there is harmony in the relationship.

Are you in love?

You are as clever in love as in life: you love playing a tactical game, where you are likely to win. When in love, you can be intensely passionate, and often exhibit a rush of feelings. Often, though, there is a push-pull in love, thanks to your many motivations. A lover who is willing to discover what's really beneath the surface is likely to secure a place in the Scorpio's heart.

Getting Intimate:

The prowess and drive of those born under this sign is legendary. You seduce with so much as an alluring look. You love giving and receiving sensual pleasure and maximum mutual satisfaction is important to you. You also adore a lover who is eager for more.

What You Need:

You love taking on challenges, since they are oh-so irresistible. You want nothing but the best, so only winners will be considered. You are also eager to find a strong, understanding and perceptive partner. You are determined, forceful, and have the strength to finish what you start. A relationship with you is not for the faint-hearted.

You must know

What you should do:

Dress up and look good for the Scorpio. The Scorpion appreciates beauty and sex appeal.

Have a no-holds-barred approach. The Scorpio will delve into your secrets, anyway.

Don't hold on. A relationship with the Scorpio is an exciting journey of discovery, so go along!

Be comfortable with the Scorpio gaze. Squirming will not help!

Share everything with your Scorpio. This will make for a highly fulfilling relationship.

What you should not do:

Don't ever accuse the Scorpio of playing with your emotions. The Scorpio promise of fidelity is as good as gold.

The green-eyed monster is the most dangerous part of your relationship. Try and keep jealousy at bay.

You need to take lessons in handling your emotions with a Scorpio. Try not to contribute to the emotional fireworks in the relationship.

Don't have a narrow mind. With the Scorpio, you must be prepared for anything. Don't ever keep secrets from the Scorpio.

( S C O R P I O - L i f e S t y l e )

2007-10-20T02:44:00.000-07:00

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

Do you find people giving you a second look all the time? Well, they should, for yours is the sign of the slinky seductress! No other sign has your mystique, so take pride in it. You are intense, amorous, passionate, and in equal measures, secretive.

You take refuge in your sensuality, and this works very well for you. An electric sexual energy is almost second nature to you. But there is a soft side, which you prefer to guard. You don't go for the musky perfumes as much as you do sweeter essences like vanilla or spicy fragrances like cinnamon. You love a makeover, don't you? That is why you don't hesitate a bit to try on the new purple wig, or those long eyelashes.

Your secret of beauty is your subtle charm. There is an ulterior motive to possess behind every move. You are at your most beautiful when you use your sly charm, letting the world in on the biggest Scorpio secret of all: how good it feels to be you.

You, the fitness freak:

You need to be goaded to start an exercise routine. You might hang out at the gym just to pick up a date or to show off how your sporty designer gear. Your intensity knows no bounds, however, so when you get into doing something, you're likely to give it your all. High-impact aerobics and long distance running satisfy your energy levels. Challenge and competition are your strengths, and you may relish the thrill of coming up from behind to win. Martial arts like Aikido will help you harness your power and focus your energy. Working out your mind is important, too. Consider taking a break from exercising for a game of chess.

Fashionably Yours:

My, my, you do think hard before you dress. One cannot pin you down to a specific look. You will show up in something sleek, or go for flowing skirts. And yes, you do think a lot before you dress. Your arsenal is replete with attire to seduce, or score at a meeting.

You are no slave to fashion, and follow trends as long as they suit you. But if the style appeals to you, what is a little discomfort?You are prepared to tread the extremes of fashion. It is either a lot of jewellery, or none of it. Your hair might be long and luscious or short at spiky.

You will even don excess of greasepaint, as long as you feel upto it. You are a master of disguise. You could wear makeup like a mask, or take it all off so those around you think you're revealing the bare truth. Your passion is silky, sensual undergarments in black or red.

Travel and you:

Yes, that mysterious stranger on the train, the one in dark glasses and a Burberry trench, is probably you. You are truly the go-anywhere, do-anything kind, and the seamier, the better. Kink will always be "in" with you Scorpion, but the passion within also runs to an interest in the world's underbelly. Think India, Algeria or Mozambique, anywhere less than pretty where interesting lessons can be learned. In the end, that's really what the you is all about: the experience. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of regeneration, you will internalise much from your travels and likely return a different person. Hence, the outer and inner journey is where it's at. Hard-to-peg, you prefer to travel alone, but when you do opt for a group it's a given that your agenda rules. Not only do you like to get your way, they also want your experiences to be utterly complete! Thankfully, you are plenty resourceful and will always have the means (whether by money or smarts) to get what you want. Travel is yet another of life's seductive charms.

Your Taste buds:

Scorpio is all about intensity. You want food bursting with powerful flavors like basil, cinnamon, garlic and ginger. If possible, the food should be deep red in color. As a Water Sign, though, there's still some element of you wanting food that reminds you of home.

LEISURE TALK

Books:

You would probably handle T.S. Eliot and John Donne with ease. As the sign of Death, you can handle the metaphysical and more abstract quite well. Books that fit into the categories of drama, suspense and horror will stimulate your penetrating mind.

Chocolates:

You are not fussy about chocolates, as long as you have someone to share it with!

Movies:

You have a yen for mystery, and a whodunit is what you would pick. You would probably want to crack the puzzle of the movie long before the end. You're likely to check out The Matrix, American Beauty or Eyes Wide Shut.

Music:

Intense and with a sting, you want music you can dive into. Try one of the weird-sounding trance music bands. Of course, old timers like Pink Floyd, Enigma and Guns and Roses figure top on your list.

Restaurants:

You prefer to keep a routine and not be bothered with big meals, which might take you off course and off your itinerary. Your strong constitution will enable you to try a wide variety of dishes.

Sports:

You are blessed with resilience and cunning, and would try a variety of sports that test your mettle and require strategy and endurance. Investigate extreme sports, marathon running or chess.

Television:

Always ready to solve a mystery, you become entranced by the slowly unravelling narrative of a thriller. You will also tune faithfully into detective shows and crack the case much before the show ends.

Pets:

Your Scorpio pet might appear mysterious to the rest of the world. The Scorpio animal is self sufficient, with a stubborn demeanour. Your pet will sometimes disappear in search of adventure, but always come back. Loyalty is second nature to these pets.

Once comfortable, this animal will stick to you till death, and pull you out of any sticky situation.

The Scorpio pet is also emotional and intuitive and can easily sense when things aren't right. You can count on your Scorpio canine to comfort you when you are down. Call that nosy? Well, maybe. This is the kind of pet who needs to know what's going on, whether it involves the family or the garbage can. Beware of what this pet might bring in! It could be a prize for the family or some tasty treat they've hunted down for themselves -- goodness knows, the Scorpio pet does things his own way.

Gifts:

The Scorpio loves mystery, so anything from Agatha Christie novels to a detective kit should make an ideal gift. The Scorpio also has a fetish for computer games, so Pokemon should set his pulse racing. Other gift items that cater to their love of competition and challenge might be sports equipment or stocks and bonds. Scorpio is a water sign, so gifts from the heart would be appreciated. How about gifting your Scorpio some jewellery or cologne?

Great gifts:

Aftershave, cologne, stocks or bonds, binoculars, mystery books, a diary, detective novels, a volleyball net, a reading from an Astrologer, a book on basic astronomy, an aquarium with tropical fish.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You are entirely self-motivated and single-minded. No one else can be so resourceful and so sure of your own potential.

If there is something you need, you pursue it with tranquility. Retaliation and defensive stinging are not quite your style. The very fact that you are able to control your deep resentment and literally erase it from your mind is proof of your awesome inner strength. You are absolutely certain you will reach your goals eventually. That is why you are so fearless. To you, everything is timing.

You accept the inevitable with grace, if the stakes are high enough. But you can also be stubborn and overbearing, getting things done where it really matters.

You often gravitate to work that involves solving mysteries and penetrating the puzzles of life, machines, facts or human beings. Lots of you are detectives, psychiatrists, scientists, surgeons, policemen, researchers, reporters and even undertakers. You must increase your knowledge each day you live. You increase talents, abilities and incomes at the same rate. You are always firmly committed to your own codes and ideas. You are true to them above all other loyalties, including love and ambition. No one can force you to alter your views and opinions but yourself.

You, the boss:

Your Scorpio enthusiasm is infectious. You are indefatigable in whatever you set out to do, and pride yourself on not letting people know how deeply you want or need what you seek. One of your most powerful weapons is secrecy of purpose and intent. You have a way of attracting people who are intensely loyal. But you know your real friends from the flatterers. You also keep your enemies at a safe distance. It's difficult, if not impossible for enemies to reach you.

You feel strange around excess displays of emotion. You feel that one must keep one's cool at all costs. Unless if the emergency demands instant and violent action. Normally, however, you are the epitome of deliberate, gentle, calculated placidity.

You are a suspicious boss. In fact, one of your weaknesses is that you are frequently suspicious of innocent remarks from innocent people.

Your loyalty to your employees is lasting and all-encompassing. You expect the same gratitude in return. You are a stickler for money transactions being spelled out in detail. No problem ever invented is so tough that you can't solve it, once you tackle it. You have the will to surmount tragedies with superhuman strength. You are the essential Rock of Gibraltar people like to have around.

You, the colleague:

Congratulations! You have won half the battle! You have a winning streak, and that has you in good stead. You also share your work ethic with your colleagues, and most of them listen to you! But your tendency to keep secrets could ruin things.

Careers and you:

Intense and passionate, you know how to live life to the fullest, and as a result, don't suffer fools gladly. You know how to zero in on important tasks, and where the art of the deal is concerned, can go for the kill. Rarely, however, will blood be spilled. You are a straight shooter with lofty and important goals. Everyone else falls by the wayside. One of the your greatest assets is the ability to effect change, if only by sheer will. It's when this virtue spills over into impatience that the trouble begins. You love to create, solve and manage -- both the good and the bad. It's all for a reason. You also like to win. As long as you can control your aggressive, vindictive and inflexible tendencies (and the need to control in general), much can be accomplished.

Here are some occupations that a Scorpio might consider:

Analyst

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are, in a word, wise where money is concerned. You are self-made, although a surprising number of you inherit wealth. It's easy to see that you desperately crave for money. Money buys you security, freedom, and, best of all, control. An unshakable conviction that you will come out on top where finances are concerned motivates you to work harder, no matter how long or how tough. You are more than willing to make sacrifices for the grand prize. If there are reversals, you will generally suffer them well, thanks to your quiet confidence. When the going is good, though, you will remember your friends with uncommon generosity and are quick to support favourite charities. In the end, you far prefer to accumulate money rather than spend it. And you hate wasting it! Even so, there are times when nothing less than a Ming vase will do. Go figure!

Stretch the buck:

You will not shout out your financial status from the rooftops. You are quiet about your financial dealings. When the chips are down, however, your inner strength makes you the Rock of Gibraltar. People shy away from you in a business deal, because they consider your mystique dangerous.

You are essentially comfortable around money, because you are largely self-made. You also love the crinkle of money, since a healthy bank balance is a symbol of security. You are also obsessed with the idea of control, and the answer lies in the money.

You have an iron will, and are willing to stay in the race, no matter how high the stakes. If there are reversals, you will generally handle them well, with your quiet confidence. You also loosen your purse strings easily when a friend is in need of money.

Your temperament is well suited to astute management. You bank balance will never wear thin, thanks to your eye on the budget. Control over domestic finances can lead to tension in your relationship, making this a fight you may not want to pick.

In the end, you far prefer to accumulate money rather than spend it. And you hate wasting it! Even so, there are times when nothing less than the best will do.

Welcome to the Sagittarius Room!

The Water Bearer always thinks fifty years ahead in time!

Find out this and more, as you go through your special room!

Sagittarius

Ruled by Jupiter

A Masculine Positive Mutable Fire Sign

Polar or opposite sign: Gemini

Colour: Dark blue and purple.

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the Zodiac, and stretches from November 23 to December 23. Typically, Sagittarians are optimistic, kind, dependable, and love freedom. They are intelligent, sharp and incisive, are also gregarious, and have a large circle of friends. However, they don't care for discipline or confined spaces and have a tendency to procrastinate.

Physical Appearance:

They have quick, determined mannerisms and darting, piercing eyes that are always likely to flash with laughter. While not particularly fashion-conscious, Sagittarians can look trendy.

Relationships:

People born under this sign are highly sexed and have no time for prudery and conventional attitudes. As free spirits, Sagittarians need understanding partners who can cope with abrupt changes of plan. In personal relationships, jealousy or possessiveness in a partner will quickly shrivel a Sagittarian's affections. Those born under this sign are tactless and can hurt with their brutal remarks.

Career:

Sagittarians go for anything that gives free reign to their adventurous spirit. While rarely very ambitious, they like to see the fruits of their labour, and enjoy being appreciated. Dull claustrophobic offices make them feel uncomfortable. They work best with a tactful, organised business partner.

Health:

They often fail to look before where they leap, and as a result suffer quite a few bruises, pulled muscles and broken bones. They find Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation very beneficial.

Ideal Partner:

They need to spend their lives with organised and tolerant people, so they vibe best with Aquarians or Librans.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

You are completely free from malice. You refuse to accept the seriousness of life, though some of you manage responsibility with admirable conscientiousness in later years.

You plunge into romance with reckless abandon, but you often stop short suddenly when marriage is mentioned. You are just not the committing kind. You are a poor liar. No one believes you for a minute. Deceit is unnatural to you, and when you try to dabble in it, the exposure is usually swift and sure.

You have a violent temper, extreme eccentricity and the inability to keep a secret.

You treat life as a circus, and you delight in being the chief clown.

You as a man:

You are a dreamer, and make a feeble attempt to get down to reality. Your soaring imagination can cause you to fall down or go bust. But wonderfully, Lady Luck has a way of rescuing you just in time.

You are never in a relationship for keeps. Women often misinterpret your attitude, and think the relationship is more serious than it really is. You are a flirt, that can't be denied, but you are not looking for sex alone. You like variety and mental stimulation.

You have no sense of attachment, and have no qualms in breaking free. You enjoy being with older children. Youthful escapades will amuse you rather than anger you, but your very tolerance might keep your children in line.

You as a woman:

You see the world as it is, even through rose-tinted glasses. You tend to dream some big dreams, and sometimes, reality never hits you.

You are very independent, and have a strange aloofness to family ties. You love the feeling of protection, but do not enjoy being bossed around. You are breezy and unconventional in your relationships with men. But you are a trusting child at heart.

Your moods can be terrible, but they are rare, and they last so briefly they will hardly be noticed. When you are really hurt, your tongue can be bitterly sarcastic.

You as a child:

You learn to be diplomatic early in life. You know exactly what you want, and how to get it. You are also compelled by a need to be independent. You experiment with relationships, though commitment is not your cup of tea. Money fascinates you. You spend it like paper, once you discover its true value. You enjoy school, and are a delight to your teachers. Your multi-faceted intelligence and great curiosity will make learning a fascinating game, if your bright interest isn't squelched by rigid study habits.

As you grow older, you will question dogmas, perhaps change faith and church membership, searching eternally for truth. Fighting for causes develops your strength.

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Pisces

The game of love is a straight ahead affair for the Archer, one where the rules are laid down from the start. A good time is important to Sagittarians, so playful dates will be the right appetizer for this zesty lover. Those born under this sign are intuitive, and as a result, have a good sense of what and who they want. The one lucky enough to get in their sights is in for a wild time! Possibly the sexiest part of the game for the Archer is maintaining a sense of independence in the face of a blooming relationship -- there is nothing sexier for these folk. One possible exception might be honesty, which is often why a Sagittarian lover is also a best friend.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Libra

You have the ability to express anger or aggressive tendencies with tact, charm, and diplomacy. You probably do not enjoy conflict and may even go out of your way to avoid it. Your flexibility and balanced outlook make you an easygoing, cooperative partner. You desire connections with others, and much energy is directed towards relationships and friendships. You are gracious and entertaining, and attract many, due to your curiosity and willingness to try anything new. You are sensual and affectionate with those you feel close to, and are gratified by lots of physical contact. You are extremely romantic. You rely very much on the setting being right. You may feel better in a room full of flutes and flowers. You offer a peaceful loving nature to your relationships and will be happiest with those who are demonstrative and expressive with words.

You in Relationships:

Mental fireworks will surely fly in a relationship with the Archer, for nothing seems worthwhile without them. This eagerness to learn can make for one very curious lover. Sagittarians love the idea of a companion, a friend/partner who can share in their quest for truth and knowledge. This relationship will be active and spirited, filled with adventures to faraway lands, as well as exotic fantasies in the bedroom. Traveling has never been more fun than with the Archer! This enthusiasm comes with a keen sense of loyalty for a deserving partner, but the Sagittarian's lover must be careful not to make the mistake of becoming boring or possessive. If so, they'll be vanquished from the lair (minor rifts, though, are gladly patched up in bed). The ideal Sagittarius soul mate is well-read on everything from Philosophy to Sex, and is not afraid to practice what they preach.

Are you in love?

Love is wonderful for many, but it's a bit of an enigma for the Archer. What, after all, is love? To libidinous Sagittarians, love is often sex, plain and simple. These straight-shooters want a partner who is a mental and physical equal, yet one who understands "love" on their terms. This means mutual independence and an ability for each partner to do, and be, exactly what they want. Love can be hard for the Archer, since a fear of intimacy often swirls around them. For this reason, a friendship first is often the best way to encourage a love relationship with these folk. If this can be achieved, it's splendor between the sheets.

Getting Intimate:

The Archer is a Fire sign: 'Nuff said, at least where sex is concerned. The initial Sagittarian response where sex is concerned is through physicality, as opposed to emotion or practicality. The Archer is not shy, and like the half beast/half human that he/she represents, is quite the sexual animal. In other words, these folks are always ready! Sagittarians like to enjoy many an erotic experience, in keeping with their outgoing and sociable nature. Their great libido also lends itself best to an artistic and graceful lover, qualities they very much admire. Trying new things is also often on the Archer's mind, and when their lover says sex on the beach, they had best not be referring to a fruity drink. The Sagittarian's thirst for knowledge is often quenched through straight talk in bed, a way to combine two of their favorite pleasures. Sagittarians can also grow to worship a worthy lover, a fitting response to this.

What You Need:

A true friend who can go toe-to-toe with the discerning Archer, while not making any serious demands spells pure bliss as a partner. These independent souls also prize a lover who understands and embraces the value of alone time. Mental stimulation can be as exciting as the sexual kind for Sagittarians, and if conversation is honest and open, things will continue to develop and grow. An equal in the bedroom is also a delicious reward. Foreigners, or anyone fairly exotic, are often an irresistible lure to the Archer.

The Sagittarius lover is a philosopher, wanderer and explorer who insists on living life to the fullest. The zest for adventure and quest for knowledge they possess will move many. Only independent folk need apply for this red-hot ride!

You must know

What you should do:

Say to yourself that life is beautiful, all the time. The Archer hates to be morose.

Make personal space an important part of your relationship. The Archer craves freedom.

Be all ears. The Sagittarian needs to know that there is a shoulder to cry on, when he needs it.

Be prepared to pack your bags at a moment's notice. With the Sagittarian love for travel, you never know where you will be whisked off to!

Develop a good sense of humour, and appreciate the value of a good joke.

What you should not do:

Don't sulk too often. The Sagittarian loves a sunny personality, and may not take too kindly to a morose you.

The Sagittarian hates to hear he is wrong, so reserve your judgement.

Don't be in a hurry. The Sagittarian likes to take time with the relationship.

Don't frown on the Sagittarian love for taking chances. Sometimes, your Sagittarian lover will toss a coin on the gift he should buy you!

Don't expect the Sagittarian to be by your side very often. The sign loves to travel, and may take off on flights of fancy anytime!

Sign Speak:

Hi, I'm writing a term paper on the finer things in life. Can I interview you?

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful You:

Face it - cosmetics are not your best friend. You don't race to buy the newest beauty item off the shelf. Since you are always on the move, a basic sun block and lip balm should take you far. Add a little essential oil, and you are ready to brave the elements!

But you do need a little pampering, right? When you feel the need to look pretty, enhance your honest eyes. Your comfort level with people adds to your charm. Bare your midriff if possible or hang your pants low on your hips -- Sagittarius rules this area of the body, so you should show it off. Your beauty comes from your sense of adventure and your infectious sense of humour. You are at your most beautiful when you grab life with both hands, and your enthusiasm rejuvenates those around you.

You, the fitness freak:

You are athletic, and thrive on the outdoors. It is highly likely that you keep physically fit by camping, hiking and rock-climbing. Any, active sport, like white water rafting, kickboxing thrills you. If you're bored with the mainstream, try exploring the activities of different cultures. You are fascinated by rain dances and martial art to be mastered. Jogging through a new neighbourhood will refresh your spirits. Sagittarius rules the hips and thighs, so the lunges and squats of karate may help ensure your flexibility. As the Archer, you may also see the appeal of shooting arrows into targets.

Fashionably Yours:

You don't care if new-length skirts grace the ramps of Milan. You are not too particular about making a fashion statement. The clothes you wear need to offer you freedom of movement. Natural fibres suit you best. Sportswear of any kind suits your lifestyle. You may be out of place on formal occasions. But pleasing with clothes is not what you are looking at. Impressing people with what you have to say is more your style.

You don't attach too much importance to fancy footwear. Make-up is a pain, and jewellery gets in the way.

Strong colours, particularly navy blue, lifts your spirits, but you rarely bother to match your clothing.

Long tresses are not quite your style. You would prefer a ponytail, or short, spiky hair.

Your colorful clothing causes smiles as you go, unassuming, on your way.

Travel and you:

Was Sir Edmund Hillary a Sagittarian? He certainly could have been, for he epitomizes a key characteristic of those born under this sign: explorer. The first man to climb Mount Everest lived the dream of many a Sagittarian in going where no one else had been before. As the Sign of Travel, you love nothing more than hitting the road in search of knowledge and adventure. You need to experience things firsthand in order to have a good time. Tales of monks in Tibet are useless unless you can break bread with these learned men -- then and only then will it all make sense. Philosophers that you are, you crave a journey of discovery. You could never be found at Disneyland, since you'd much rather be muckraking in Bolivia or exploring the wilds of Mozambique. Solo travel also suits you -- a good thing since it would be pretty hard for others to keep up with you, anyway. Once on the road, you seek to expand your mind; if you can grasp the meaning of life along the way, even better. Travel and new experiences are very important to you and your sociable natures dictate that you should have fun while you're at it!

Your Taste buds:

You are always in the mood for something new and adventurous. Your fiery nature leads you to hot and spicy food with bold flavours featuring cloves, curry and garlic. Mexican food is a favourite with you.

LEISURE TALK

Books:

Unconventional and scientific, you will enjoy books that boggle your mind. Science fiction and adventure ensure that you move into the new millennium double quick. Check out the classic works Aldous Huxley and H.G Wells for a glimpse into the future.

Chocolates:

You would not even consider chocolate bars! You are game for low-calorie chocolate though.

Movies:

Different is the operative word, when you choose your movies. Add weird and futuristic to it, and voila, there you are! Try The Matrix or 2001 -- a space odyssey. What about a shoddily made horror movie just for laughs?

Music:

Your favourite goal is to change the world. So you would probably listen to music that others consider guttural sounds. Don't worry, they will probably listen to the same stuff 50 years later. You are social, and would appreciate a good sing-along classic.

Restaurants:

Original and inventive, you seek out new and different foods, if you're not cooking up some new creation of your own. Your eccentric and intellectual nature will lead you to sample exotic foods from the world over.

Sports:

You will take part in the newest sport before anyone has even heard of it, and the sports will be of the extreme variety, like snowboarding, surfing, wind surfing, sky diving or bungee jumping.

Travel:

Costa Rica, Dallas, Greece, India, Mexico, New York City, Venezuela.

Television:

Your television preferences span an age, so you will watch Star Wars for a taste of the futuristic. Seriously wanting to change the world though, you also tune in to the news to find new causes to champion.

Pets:

Your Aquarius pet will live in a world of his own. Unusual and sometimes finicky, this is a pet who requires plenty of freedom to express itself. Watch out; you're bound to be surprised!

This sense of freedom is also physical, so don't keep your pet bound. The Aquarius pet loves to socialise and mixes easily with other animals. Your pet also picks up important lessons along the way, so let him be. However, this odd little creature will astound many. This pet will have a few off days, so don't be surprised if he sulks in the corner.

This pet will have a few off days, so don't be surprised if he sulks in the corner. While not cuddly, these pets will be good companions nonetheless. But they will grow on their own terms. Smart as a whip, too, these animals learn their lessons fast and well. Ready for a rebel in the family? The Aquarian pet is never boring.

Gifts:

The Aquarian thinks much ahead of his time, and has an affinity for anything radical. What's a good gift for the Aquarian in your life? Technological gadgets. Scour the market for the latest is, it would be a good idea. The Water Bearer also loves to learn, so gifting them how-to books will have them doing cartwheels of joy. The key to getting a gift for an Aquarian is novelty. Try yoga classes or a rare sculpture. The Aquarius sign rules the feet, so pretty anklets would do the trick for Aquarian women.

Great gifts:

Books or magazine subscriptions, technological gadgets, a watch, music, scuba-diving lessons, socks, a nice pen, a personal portable CD player, science-fiction or fantasy books, rock-climbing gear, incense, a cell phone, Internet access.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are the lucky one with all the friends. You make an interesting and lasting impression, especially on women. You have them eating out of your hands, because you do not even cast a look in their direction.

You are a bundle of energy, often leaving others a little breathless. Your opinions are often considered impractical, simply because the critics are not tuned in to your frequency.

There are two of you around. The first kind is the suave, pipe-smoking professor type, with a relaxed manner. He's usually brilliant. The other one lives simply and is very sentimental. He is also brilliant. Both have a high degree of intelligence, as well as uncanny perception. They each soak up knowledge while appearing to be engrossed in some abstract theory. Their memories are weak but their intuitive powers more than make up for it. They're extremely odd in their habits, kind and sympathetic, usually very courteous, and they wear unusual combinations of clothing.

You are slow in asking for a raise, but you know what you are worth. You raise the issue at the right time, and move on to greener pastures if it is not worth the effort.

You, the boss

You can be a difficult boss at times. Your employees may literally have to wiggle a raise out of you, but when it comes through, it is generous. You believe in giving people what they deserve. You recognise a job well done. You have no sense of discrimination.Your employee is likely to be fired for stealing a postage stamp. You have your own code of ethics, but when it comes to business decisions, you are democratic. Opinions matter to you, the more, the better. You are very likely to request everyone's opinion on projected procedures-and sometimes even ask a subordinate to make the final decision.

You are usually willing to give your employees all the rope they ask for. But you can be unpredictable at times. There is always a change in the air around you. You have a lot of nervous energy, but your surface curiosity can be unnerving.

You live by the dictum of friendship. You make friends with the most recent employee, and even the competition. You are unpredictable, and this behaviour of yours can have your employees in a tizzy. You are best friends with your employee one day, and on the next, you are ready to bite their head off.

You, the colleague:

You question authority, since you dream of a work set-up 50 years from now. You throw your arms open to the world, and this makes you a good person to have around in the workplace. When you do get down to work, you attach to it a certain detached efficiency.

Careers and you:

You are humanitarian, idealistic in your beliefs and an ardent pursuer of causes. Non-profit organisations and trade unions would be a natural for you -- anything that will help the greater good. You care so deeply about your fellow man that the quest for knowledge and answers is never-ending. You enjoy a challenge whether it's a team meeting or a battle of bantering wits. You have strong beliefs -- you've spent plenty of time thinking about them -- and are bound to get the job done. You spend countless hours mulling over the possibilities for a project and may even come up with some startling conclusions, but it's all in a day's work. And it's never boring! A dull day is a nightmare for you.

Here are some occupations that an Sagittarian might consider:

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are the true genius of the zodiac. With a quicksilver mind, you could succeed at anything- you just have to apply your mind to it. Off course, you will be more preoccupied with your lofty new ideas. You may appear distracted but that's only because you are living inside your head, a place where the wheels are spinning away. You are logical, love to think, and enjoy helping others, especially via charities and your pet causes. Money, for better or for worse, is not at the top of your list. To you, money is a means to an end -- like saving the planet! Futurists that you are, you enjoy the novel nature of bartering as well as the more progressive concept of equal wage earner couples. You are loathe to borrow, and if you lend, you expect to be paid on time.

Stretch the buck:

You possess a quicksilver mind, and could make quite a pile, if only you set your mind to it. But you are keen on thinking up of new ideas to save the world, than stashing away money in the bank. You are the perfect answer to Karl Marx, and have in your head a perfect little world. Money is not on the top of your list, but you love to contribute to pet charities.

You must be lucky, since any money that comes your way just by chance. Money to you is onlay a means by which you can undertake the greater enterprise of saving the world.

You also tend to experience great highs and lows where money is concerned. One day you plan to take a luxury cruise round the Atlantic, while you are still figuring out how to pay the bills.

Capricorn

Ruled by Saturn.

A Feminine Negative Cardinal Earth Sign

Polar or Opposite sign: Cancer

Colour: Dark brown, black and grey

Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac, lasting from December 23 - January 19. Capricorns are disciplined, methodical, sensible and sensitive. They have an orderly mind that can be cool and calculating. They tend to be perfectionists, but have the strength of character to bear considerable hardships and setbacks in life. They can be temperamental and moody.

Physical Appearance:

They tend to be tall and have sharp, angular features. They generally have serene expressions and an air of tranquillity. They take great care with their appearance but hate any form of flamboyance or extravagance.

Relationships:

Capricorns can be surprisingly passionate behind closed doors. However, they take a while to warm up and are very cautious about relating to others. They need to be encouraged to lighten up. They are very unhappy with emotional scenes and upheaval, get hurt easily, but thaw just as quickly if they find that their partner is genuinely repentant.

Career:

Capricorns are usually determined and ambitious, with a strong sense of discipline and a good head for business. They make superb administrators, and often rise to very high positions of respect and authority in their careers. They see duty and law enforcement as of paramount importance, and can unfortunately become overbearing.

Health:

Traditionally, Capricorn problem areas are their joints, bones and teeth. They need to ingest extra calcium, cod-liver oil and evening primrose oil supplements to help their flexibility.

Ideal Partner:

Capricorns need a strong, loving partner and bond best with Taureans.

ABOUT YOU

This is you:

You have an aura of melancholy surrounding you. You impose on yourself a stern sense of self-discipline. This translates into a tough reserve later in life.

You have a great need to be self-made, and work hard to get there. You court success and respect tradition.

You have an exact blueprint of your life in mind. You keep your gaze fastened ahead, and your feet firmly planted on the ground. You make it a point to wear your ambition on your sleeve all the time.

You cope well with duty and responsibility, and can tolerate frustration. You treat life as a constant struggle to get stronger.

You as a man:

You have a self-made brick wall around you. You are a bundle of contradictions. You are laidback, but can be fiercely ambitious when required to be.

You experience a reverse ageing process. You are as serious as an owl in your youth, but you relax gradually as you mature. You are reverent about family ties. You take time to fall in love, as you look for a secure relationship. Financial security comes first to you.

You suffer because you detest mushy, romantic declarations of love. But once you are guided and tutored in the fine act of love, you become the companion everyone envies.

You as a woman:

You have a practical, sensible manner, and a steely will to snag the right man. You value security, authority, respect and position.

You seem to be even-tempered and steady, but that is just a facade. You can flare up, when you get really hot under the collar.

You need to be assured of complete commitment, before you plunge into a relationship.
You are unusually attractive. Yet, you are unsure about your appearance. You need constant reassurance that you are pretty.

You make an excellent wife. You have a tight hand, and run a smooth home. You also have reality firmly in your grasp.

You as a child:

You have a strange maturity about you very early in life. You are strong-willed and positive in your tastes, but you don't make a big fuss in expressing them.

You know exactly what you want, and make your wish known. As you grow older, your life will settle into a routine. You have a strong sense of duty, and this shows in your schoolwork.

You seem to be slower than the others, a poor mixer and the dark horse. You quietly and inevitably end up in some position of leadership, as the extroverts realise you are the one they can trust to be responsible. You seek respect and authority. You need encouragement and careful handling in romance.

LOVE

Your Love Sign:

Your love sign is Aries

You are often traditional, somewhat reserved and usually cautious. You take some time to size up the stakes in the game of love. You know what you want, and once you fix your eyes on the prize, you will work hard to get it. You are a winner and often attract the same. Focussed as you are on appearances, you are likely to lure an attractive lover.

Your Passion Sign:

Your passion sign is Virgo

You are down to earth. When you do look for a little excitement, you visit a museum, rather than have a relationship. Logical and disciplined, you probably have a knack of weeding out all the fluff and annoyance of needless pomp and circumstance. You are proud, practical, and emotional fluff is not for you. You have an enthusiasm that cannot be matched when you've found a worthy cause. You possess great mental skills that enable you to focus and therefore excel at whatever you do. You may be restless and need constant activity or thought to satiate your mind. You may not make an ideal romantic lover, but your attention to detail is a blessing in disguise. You hate the rigmarole of a relationship, and crave for honesty.

You in relationships :

Where the 'us' thing is concerned, you keep the ground rules pretty simple: Those with money, power and the trappings of success should step up to the plate. You will work hard at taking a union with the right person to newer heights. If your lover can throw in a dash of excitement, all the better. A bit of solidity, along with excitement and passion, is just the right mix.

Are you in love?

The good news is that with the right one, you positively bloom in love, and are a loyal and devoted partner. When you give, your love is total. Not only that, it is also delicious for both, since you can easily engage in dreamy states, and flatter your lover.

Getting Intimate:

Behind your cool exterior lies a passionate interior waiting to be discovered by a worthy lover. You are persistent, passionate and a loyal lover, so whoever is on the receiving end is in for a guaranteed good time. While you abhor being dependent on your lover, you would certainly like to be nurtured.

What You Need:

Don't let work take over your life! The one you love deserves some of your time, so plan more romantic weekends and dinners. Take each day as it comes, it will take you far.

You must know

What you should do:

Understand that between you and work, the Capricorn devotion to duty wins hands down.

Wait for a commitment. If the Capricorn is sure of the relationship, he is yours for life.

Surprise your Capricorn from time to time. Little gifts are all it takes to have the Goat committed to you for life.

Make promises you can keep.

Spend some time on personal grooming. The Capricorn appreciates good taste.

What you should not do:

Don't ever embarrass the Goat in public. Capricorn has a strong sense of integrity.

Have a hold on your purse strings all the time. The Capricorn is appreciative of people who can save.
Don't go back on your word, ever.

Don't blame your Capricorn for being wedded to his job. That is how it will be.

Don't accuse your Capricorn of being stuffy. It will take him a while to lighten up.

Sign Speak:

Have you always been this cute, or did you have to work at it?

LIFE STYLE

Beautiful you:

You have charted a long way to the top, and would not want a few strokes of the brush to distract your progress. But your beauty lies in your quick thinking power, and your ability to think well. And yes, people do find your cool-as-cucumber façade irresistible!

But this does not mean that you let your chipped nails be. A strict health regimen comes naturally to you, and that is the secret of your slim waist! And yes, you achieve all this with élan! Confidence is your greatest weapon, and your poise makes all make-up redundant.

You have an eye for detail, and this helps you weed out passing fads from the ones that stay. Your elegance also shows in the confident and purposeful way you carry yourself. Just remember to draw attention to your graceful neck. Warm, earthy scents suit you, as do dark, rich colours like plum, burgundy and red.

Power is essential to you, and you glow when you have it. Your beauty comes from your resourcefulness and your ambition towards high-quality living.

You, the fitness freak:

You always work towards a long-term goal. You're not looking for temporary solutions, so you're unlikely to adopt a punishing workout schedule to force your body into shape. You already have a long-term routine outlined and are determined to keep plugging away at it, so long as your goal makes you happy. You are practical and realistic, and it doesn't make much of a difference whether you exercise alone or as part of a team. If you're on a team, though, you like to be recognised as an asset. You're focused, ambitious and devoted; nobody is going to get away with bending the rules while you're around. You are a steady climber, whether it's scaling rocks or hiking up mountains.

Fashionably yours:

You rely heavily on power dressing, and would not be caught dead in sandals. You will want the best, but not at the cost of burning a hole in your pocket.

You do look for a brand, but are judicious enough to realise that your finances matter, too. Your clothing is practical, and this lets people know that you are serious about your work.

You would prefer to have your clothing tailored, and classic cuts are quite your style. You may hunt for bargains, but you dress for success. What you save on clothes, you splurge on accessories. Your jewellery carries with it a stamp of understated elegance. You can be classy without being gaudy.

You want no issues with your hair. It needs to be short, neat and well styled. You have never shied away from technology, and your purse will carry a pager or a mobile phone, to keep contact.

Travel and you:

Travelling in style is what you are all about -- if you can get on the road, that is. You are a compulsive workaholic, mainly interested in making money and building an empire. If and when you do take a trip, though, you are highly organised, carefully planning the agenda beforehand. It will also be first-class all the way: you are keenly interested in social status. You are also fond of travelling with friends and won't shy away from leading the troops -- or at least managing the finances. You are a business person first! You are great fun to travel with. You are exceedingly capable and are happy to shoulder the worries for the group, thereby making things easy for all. No, there won't be any wild adventures on the horizon with you, but a good time will be had by all!

Your taste buds:

You are steadfast and practical, and like simple, earthy foods. You steer clear of the exotic. Your eating should follow a specific pattern, and if anything goes awry, you are not very happy. You are also partial to substantial foods that will fill you up.

LEISURE TALK

Books:

Serious-minded and cautious, you are a fan of fact. You prefer books that are educational and dramatic. If they can help you take strides ahead in your career, all the better. Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People and Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking find place on your shelf.

Chocolates:

Given a choice, you would personally savour each chocolate in the box, before deciding on the best. Your quest for perfection is displayed here, too!

Movies:

When you do have the time, you sit down for flick that helps you identify with your workplace. You would seek inspiration from a film like Wall Street. And if you need to unwind, Office Space is the perfect comedy.

Music:

When it comes to music, you stick to what you listened to while you were growing up. Who has time to follow the bands of today? You get uneasy if the boat is rocked, so The Beatles would be perfect for you. You could still be caught up in disco fever or some other bygone era.

Restaurants:

You will count your money, before considering a meal out. A five-star restaurant that has great food at a great value is your dream dining experience, whether it exists or not is another question altogether.

Sports:

Why not translate your metaphysical climb up the ladder into a real one? Try rock climbing or mountaineering. Team sports like soccer will provide the competitive playing field you love.

Television:

You could do without the idiot box. But you do take some choice moments out of your day for a little humour. Once you have finished learning about the rise and fall of the stocks on the financial news, try Ally Mcbeal.

Pets:

More serious and deliberate than most, it's likely that the Capricorn pet will live to a ripe old age. Well, your Capricorn pet will not play rough games in the alley. These animals are careful, and they live long What keeps this animal happy is helping out and working hard. So, you can be assured of the morning newspaper delivered to your bed, if your pet is a Cappy.

Stable and serene, the Capricorn pet will appreciate a comfortable home and a happy family. These animals won't need much exercise, either -- for them, work is exercise!

The Cap pet will learn rules easily and is easy to train. You don't have to enforce discipline, your pet will know what makes you happy, and instinctively follow it. And yes, if you have to take a family trip, your pet will hold the fort at home.

While the Cap pet doesn't need much physical affection, it does like to be neat and clean, so brush this pet regularly. Watch their bones and teeth, too, as these areas may require special attention.

Gifts:

People born under this sign are ambitious and disciplined, and have set goals in mind. They are also practical and realistic, so any gift that helps them in their career, job or personal financial management would be most fitting. Try a sleek business card holder, subscription to a financial magazine, a nice leather purse or a classy wall clock. And yes, if you would want the Capricorn in your life to unwind, try shocking them-- pamper them with luxurious lotions or bubble bath. One-on-one competition also appeals to Capricorns, so try some golf or tennis equipment.

Great gifts:

Aftershave, cologne, stocks or bonds, a classic leather briefcase, a nice wallet, a wall clock, a tennis racket, a digital diary, a fine business suit or tie, a bottle of good wine, movie tickets, membership to a club, dancing lessons.

CAREER

You, the employee:

You are the perfect employee, and your boss wishes there were more of you around. You know how to keep your nose out of trouble. You are the dependable safety valve when things get disorganised, and you come through all the time. There's nothing openly ambitious about you. You are not a flashy climber. In your own inconspicuous way, you are determined to get where you are going. You accept your responsibilities without complaint or resentment, but you won't be pushed too far.

You are conscientious almost to a fault. Sometimes, you are just too hard on yourself. You have a set goal in mind, and efficiently work for it. You are not flighty or undecided about your future. You do not waste office time on petty gossip. You have a serious sense of duty, a respect for your superiors, and an inner discipline. Your are business-like. You disapprove of people who are late to work, and who waste time in idle chitchat. You have respect for every profession, and do not hesitate to shovel the sidewalk, if it can earn you money and respect.

You are comfortable with most occupations, and are serious in whatever you do.

You, the boss:

You are a certified Capricorn workaholic. Your day never ends. It starts at dawn, and at midnight, you plan for the next day.

You are a kindly father image to those who work for you-stern, but fair. You insist on obedience to duty. You seldom raise your voice to give orders. Your tone is gruff, but normally quiet, except on rare occasions when stupidity or careless mistakes cause you to bellow. You rarely expect a compliment, and turn pink when you get one. You seldom acknowledge that you even heard it. Your moods are unpredictable, and it is better to keep people at arm's length at that time.

With this image in mind, your employees will have a pretty good idea what to expect from you. You are a stickler for time. If you have any spare time, you won't waste it. You expect the same from your employees. You are always impressed with the status of those who have inched a few toeholds above you on the mountain of success.

You like it if things work like clockwork. Clean fingernails, courteous manners and perfect grammar are necessities, and efficient work without whining or complaints will be a requirement. You revere scrupulous honesty. You will be seen as a tough disciplinarian, but you also recognise the true value of good work.

You, the colleague:

You barely have your nose out of files, to notice the people around you. You are perfectly sensible, and project a no-nonsense attitude, so people cannot pile you on with what is more than essential. But you do need a break from time to time. You will ensure that everything is in perfect working order, before you take off on that holiday.

Careers and you:

Practical and conservative, you enjoy working hard and getting things done, and your patience helps you persevere where others might give up. You enjoy being a leader, since it gives you a measure of control, which is soothing to you. You are image conscious and are likely to insist that co-workers look as respectable as you do. You are highly organised, so being on your team is a study in cool efficiency.

Here are some occupations that a Capricorn might consider:

Administrator

CEO

Coach

Commissioner

MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are always disciplined and focused. You work hard for your money and enjoy the benefits. It's your temperament that makes you follow a slow and steady climb up the mountain. You expect things to be tough since you tend toward pessimism. In the end, however, it's exactly what will spur you on, because you do want to get to the top of that mountain in the worst way. You are among the shrewdest people at making and keeping money. Money gives you a feeling of strength and accomplishment and a delicious sense that you have arrived. You do not get carried away by get-rich-quick schemes. You also need to have a nest egg set aside for a rainy day, thanks to that lingering sense of gloom. Managing money comes so easily to you that you could keep accounts in your head. Once you set your mind to making money, no one will work harder than you toward that end. And you will probably make it to the top!

Stretch the buck:

You are oh-so-careful where money is concerned. You actually look forward to the hard work involved in achieving financial success. You also love a slow and steady climb to the top, pausing regularly to take stock of the situation. You also prepare yourself for more than a cakewalk. You will find that this attitude helps, since it gives you the much-needed financial security. You thrive on a bulging wallet and a lot of attention, and that's what you get!

You keep your financial affairs on a tight leash, and hate the idea of splurging. Money gives you a sense of security, and paves the way for recognition. You work steadily and methodically toward financial success and generally don't relax until there's plenty of cash on hand.

You are uneasy with the idea of gambling, and usually tread carefully. You also set aside a nest-egg for a rainy day, thanks to an impending sense of gloom. You are not exactly cheap, but love the idea of a good bargain.

Managing money comes easily to you, and you love the idea of figures swimming around in your pretty little head! You also loathe the idea of borrowing and lending. You need to have a hold on the family resources, so this might cause a flutter among the more flamboyant.

Once you set your mind to making money, no one will work harder than you toward that end. And you'll probably make it to the top!

Welcome to the Aquarius Room!

The Water Bearer always thinks fifty years ahead in time!

Find out this and more, as you go through your special room!

Aquarius

Ruled by Uranus

A Masculine Positive Fixed Air Sign.

Polar or opposite sign: Leo

Colour: All the colours of the rainbow

Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac, lasting from January 20 - February 19. Aquarians are friendly, idealistic, independent and humanitarian. Usually pacifist, they often mount campaigns against injustice of any kind. Personal independence is important to those born under this sign and they make every effort to maintain it. They are friendly but rather distant, and frequently unpredictable. Though they are original thinkers, they can be rather eccentric.

Physical Appearance:

They have clean-cut good looks and a ready smile that shows off their excellent teeth to advantage. They can eat any amount of junk food and still remain slim. Aquarians like to wear unusual outfits like hippie gear or New Age kaftans.

Relationships:

Aquarians are not good at close relationships, despite their caring-and-sharing attitudes. They tend to be wary of emotion, often misconstruing it as mere sentiment that makes irritating demands on their affection. In emotional relationships, they like to retain a certain degree of independence.

Career:

Aquarians can turn their hands very successfully to most things, since they are very determined individuals. Most are hardworking, even driven in their chosen field. Many choose rather unusual or esoteric careers like Astrology. They see life as a series of golden opportunities to make the world a happier place, and if money comes their way, so much the better.

Health:

Aquarians' lungs are particularly sensitive to cigarette smoke and air pollution, so they should be careful to avoid these wherever possible.

Ideal Partner:

Anyone who is also an idealistic free spirit will be suitable for an Aquarian. A well-grounded Capricorn suits them best.
