Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Aries pets will be feeling the frustration when Saturn and Pluto square off in their 7th and 10th Houses of Partnership and status around November 15. This could be an especially uncomfortable time for one-to-one relationships. It could be that your schedule won't permit the same amount of lap or walk-around time as usual, or your pet's favorite fellow furry creature in the neighborhood might move away with his or her owners. You'll want to make sure that Aries doesn't get too broody, because this month's darker mood could lead to undesirable habits such as chewing, scratching and compulsive eating. As always, extra helpings of love will soothe your pet's soul.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus pets will feel more confident and self-assured than usual after the Full Moon hits their 1st House of Personal Expression on November 2. Even though the weather isn't likely to permit a lot of outdoor enjoyment, animals will push to go out and crunch in what's left of the leaves anyway. Maybe putting on a coat and getting out in the great outdoors wouldn't be such a bad idea for you, either! Let your pet prance and pounce before the ground gets all buried in snow. If you both get exercise, the whole family can avoid adding pesky holiday pounds.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
Neptune, the planet of illusion, will captivate your pet's mind and provide plenty of things to ponder as it activates his or her 9th House of Adventure and Exploration. Stimulate your pet's desire to seek out new experiences by rotating old toys or providing new ones. Gemini likes a lot of noise and as much action as possible, so you'll want to focus on items that squeak or sing -- or you might elect for lightweight balls and other items you can toss for your pet to stalk, catch or retrieve. Staying playful will prevent both of you from succumbing to the pre-winter "blahs."

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Every Cancer pet needs to have a sense of purpose, especially when the weather gets cool and the out-of-doors space seems to be somewhat lifeless. Saturn has recently entered your pet's 10th House of Status and Ambition, so he or she will seek out extra responsibility. Let Rover carry a pack filled with water to the dog park or encourage kitty to clean up around the litter box. Reward almost any kind of reasonable alerting and herding behavior, because Cancer is almost always only trying to help. As long as your pet isn't making excessive noise or preventing you from getting back and forth from couch to refrigerator, what's there to complain about?

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Pluto's relentless demand to transform will spur activity in Leo's 6th House of Health and Energy this November. Your Leo pet is going to demand a change in routine, whether that entails more sleep or longer walks than you might be in the mood for. If your pet has a habit you'd like to correct, such as compulsive visits to the kibble bowl, now is a great time to introduce alternative behaviors. Try adding more interesting obstacles to your pet's home environment, from a cavernous kitty wonderland to a nice, soft bed that keeps the chill away from an aging dog's bones.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
Your Virgo pet doesn't usually ask for much, but that could change while Venus is visiting your pet's 2nd House of Possessions early this month. Creature comforts can count for more during the cold weather months, so treats, chew toys and other accoutrements will be appreciated more than ever before. Monitor your own food supply, too -- acquisitive animals may decide that the usual fare isn't nearly as enticing as your stash of granola bars, beef jerky and bacon bits. Even virtuous Virgo will find it hard to resist the temptation to pilfer certain tasty comestibles from your pocket or pack while you're not looking.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Your Libra pet could become more of the outdoorsy type when the Sun makes its way into Sagittarius and Libra's 3rd House of Quick Trips on November 21. Your self-nurturing animal might start out enjoying extra preening time as November winds encourage closed doors and warm fireplaces, but it won't last long. If you find it unbearable to open and close the door for kitty or take the dog on long walks while your nose and ears go numb, consider a car trip. A change of milieu will lift Libra's spirits and give your pet the thrill of "being seen."

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
It's no coincidence that your Scorpio pet seems so bound and determined to turn over a new leaf this month. With a New Moon in your pet's 1st House of Personality and Image on November 16, Scorpio will have even more reason than usual to push toward greater heights of skill and excellence. If you and your pet are involved in agility training or obedience school, this is a great time to make progress. Add adequate amounts of unconditional attention, too -- even if your pet isn't the top dog or appointed regent over the rest of the kitties at the show, let him or her know who's number one with you.

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
Your Sagittarius pet will get an extra dose of clever when Mercury makes its way into your pet's 1st House of Self-Assertion. This fiery, ebullient animal will be even more boisterous as he or she struggles to get your attention -- everywhere and all the time. Never underestimate your pet's ability to connive ways of causing mischief, either. You might discover an underground passageway from your garage to the street, or the Thanksgiving turkey carcass could get licked clean by a cat laying in wait for the moment when you're too preoccupied with dessert to notice or care about tomorrow's leftovers.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
Jupiter's generosity will show in your pet now, as this expansive planet enlivens Capricorn's 2nd House of Giving. Although you probably wouldn't think your pragmatic pet has it in his or her bones, you could watch Capricorn suddenly turn nurturing toward a pet visiting from afar for the holidays. This could come in handy if you're hoping to hold on to the peace long enough to finish Thanksgiving dinner without the growls and howls of a squabble. Don't be fooled for long, though -- any time Capricorn shares, it's just to re-assert the fact that this strong-willed sign has enough to spare ... and can take it back again at any time.
