Pet Horoscopes

What's In Store for Your Pet:
September 2010

Welcome to 2010, a new year for you — and your pets! Just as you may depend on your own horoscope to advise you throughout the year, you may be seeking guidance on behalf of your pets to gain insight into your companions’ well being. .

Your pets are influenced by their particular astrological signs just like you are; however, your pets are also greatly affected by your daily routines, behavior and attention.

So, while the ups and downs of global (and financial) events will undoubtedly affect your life, they will also strengthen the bond you share with your pets. This year, your pets will discover their role as a constant companion is an important one. As much as your pet depends on you, you may discover that you, in turn, will rely on your pet for comfort when necessary, and to share new adventures and life changes.

This year may mean a less material world but that doesn’t mean cats, dogs, fish, small and big domestic animals will go without exercise, training, vet visits and love. Use these pet predictions as an outlook into important issues for you and your pets.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20)

Discipline, consistency and regularity aren’t a Pisces pet’s best traits, but this month enforcing these for your pet will reduce any stress generated from you home environment.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)

Gemini pets are known to have an absolutely amazing ability to hold it together in the midst of stressful, demanding times. This month is no different. Pet owners, whatever is going on in your lives, do you best to deflect it away from your four- or two-legged friends. Make sure to keep your Gemini pets calm; be resourceful and distract them in creative ways. Take your dog shopping with you, buy your cat, bird or exotic pet a mind-teasing game that will keep him preoccupied and your whole family will have some peace of mind.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)

Cancer pets sometimes put on a steely resolve — especially when it comes to protecting their loved ones. This month, frequent visits from guests — some new, some familiar — influences your pet’s tough act. Despite the brave front, expect Leo pets to mellow at night, especially at bedtime, when they look for a little extra comfort. Follow your heart and spoil them excessively.

LEO (July 23 – Aug. 23)

Pet owners may notice their Leo pets’ somewhat goofy behavior in September. Believe it or not, it could be new love… Don’t overanalyze the signs, roll with it. With a packed social calendar this month, there are plenty of opportunities for your pets to cozy up with someone special. Keep an eye out for other pets who might try to take advantage of your pet’s submissive attitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 22)

Virgo pets may adopt a fearless attitude this month. Fall weather is arriving; Virgo dog owners, take advantage of the cooler weather and challenge your pet’s eagerness to an agility class (elderly dogs may prefer a change of scenery, whether it be a different dog park or the willingness to meet new friends). Cat owners, consider buying a cat tower that encourages your frisky pal to reach new heights. Indulge your Virgo pets this month; they deserve it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 – Oct. 23)

In September, Libra pets will get the urge to prove their prowess and assert their dominance. Pet owners, curb this behavior by reminding these assertive pets who’s the boss. Take 20 minutes a day to train your Virgo dog how to heel while on leash; keep a watchful eye for Virgo cats scratching that favorite piece of furniture and stop them in the act with a firm rebuff. Moderation is key; by the end of the month, your pets will be back on track and everyone will benefit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22)

Pet owners, you may think your Scorpio pets have gone a bit nuts this month, due to their recent peculiar behavior. Something unusual is happening, but it’s probably more productive than you think. Give these actively-inclined pets something to do: challenge them with new toys they’re unfamiliar with, ones that will get them thinking and moving. Keep up the daily routines and loving communication; the second half of the month should run smoothly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21)

You might notice your Sag pets lack the energy to look after everyone in the house this month. Don’t misinterpret this cranky behavior; needy Sag pets will be lonely if you mistakenly give them a “timeout”. Don’t overdo the exercise; let your pet get plenty of rest and keep up the amazing ear and chin rubs. You’ll notice an attitude improvement by the second half of the month.
