This January, the shifts that mark the new year will be easy to pick up on, so expect pets to make some changes in their own lives, and yours. Mercury Retrograde will plow on through January 15, so don't be surprised if your pet seems sluggish and difficult to train until mid-month. Jupiter's move into Pisces on January 17 could bring about the beginning of a more teachable period.

For the next year, optimism permeates pets' consciousness and makes them even more of a source of joy and consolation than usual. The Mars Retrograde period in Leo might continue to aggravate some pets, while for others it will provide a chance to go back and get something right, from litter box behavior for cats to agility training for canines.

Venus and the sun will both move from Capricorn to Aquarius on January 18 and 19, respectively. So after January 18, habits will have more of a tendency to get ingrained, whether they're good or bad.

The new moon in Capricorn on January 15 and the full moon in Leo on January 30 will help give your pets the incentive to perform, please and impress. By the end of the month, your efforts to train or get your pet to adapt to big changes will meet with success, and everyone can find the same level of contentment!

January 2010 Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Aries' 10th House of Authority and Status will be filled with energy during January. Capricorn's influence through January 19 can often encourage Aries to get bossy, but if you're a smart pet parent, you'll figure out how to use this to your advantage. One way to do this would be to challenge your pet to work harder for the rewards you dole out. Rather than automatically offering treats between meals, insist that your pet does something to demonstrate at least a small bit of deference. Although Aries can be strident and defiant, the time around the New Moon on January 15 is great for teaching new tricks and setting general limits.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
Cabin fever doesn't seem like something your steady pet that hardly ever moves would be susceptible to, but with the Mars moving retrograde in Taurus' 4th House of Home and Family, your Bull baby will get antsy! Aggravations around the house, from dryness due to heat to the pure boredom of spending less time outdoors, could get the Taurus pet's fur in a ruffle. If you want to avoid coming home to shredded toilet paper or dirty litter strewn throughout the house, offer toys and occasional "pet play dates" with a dog or cat in the neighborhood who can provide a diversionary romp for your pet.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
Your pet's busybody nature will be as strong as ever, thanks to the electrifying planet Uranus in Gemini's 10th House of Status. Gemini likes to remain connected to as many people and animals as possible, so expect to be dragged or cajoled into situations that force you to include your pet in your social life. Pack Rover or Muffin in a comfy crate and let your baby tag along on a weekend getaway around January 18. Not only will you save on boarding costs and eliminate your own guilt; your pet will get the change of scenery and exposure to new beings that he or she craves so very much.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Although it might be chilly on the outside, Cancer pets will warm up to romance and friendship with the Sun, Mercury and Venus in their 7th House of Partnership. If there aren't any opportunities for Cancer to play with other animals, or at least get a good sniff at a snowy fire hydrant, you may want to spend more time at home. It's important to let Cancer socialize more, because these pets will console themselves with too much food. Better to get your baby someone to love rather than allow weight problems to balloon. Cancer will be satisfied with just about anyone to be with, but the best companion of all would be Y-O-U!

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Leo can get broody when sunshine is scarce, but the universe has a cure for any potential seasonal disorders. Your Leo pet's chin will lift when the Full Moon occurs in its 1st House of Personality and Action on January 30. Up until then, you can boost Leo's spirits by offering more time outdoors than you might really want to spend. Bundle both of you up and take a sniff at the world. You might be surprised at how much both of you get from appreciating the stark beauty of winter, and how much better you feel when you breathe fresh, if chilly, air!

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
Mercury's retrograde motion through Virgo's 5th House of Offspring, Fun and Games will let your pet take some trips down memory lane through the middle of the month. You could see puppy or kitten behavior re-appearing, and even if it's not so endearing, you'll get another chance to help correct it. If you want your pet to become a parent, this could be an especially fertile time. If you're not so enthused about the prospect for pet progeny scurrying through your abode, take appropriate measures to prevent breeding. In any case, your pet will respond to more playtime with the kind of joy and adoration that makes your role as pet parent so worthwhile.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Your pet's attitude will shift in ways you'll appreciate when Jupiter changes signs and moves into Libra's 6th House of Health and Service on January 17. You might notice your pet becoming more conscientious about grooming, and you might even be lucky enough to come across that "how can I help?" attitude! With this attitude abounding for the next twelve months, you might want to consider letting your dog or cat do something useful. From training a younger animal to toting a few groceries in a backpack, both of you will find benefit in putting your pet to work.

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
If your Scorpio pet seems more broody than usual this January, it could be because Saturn is putting a heavy spirit into its 12th House of Unconscious Thought and Motivation. Moping about will probably be your dog or cat's way of displaying the inadequacy he or she may be feeling. Or, being bent on showing revenge, Scorpio might make a mess of food or other byproducts in an effort to push you to pay more attention. Rather than scolding or berating, give your pet a ton of extra attention. Not only will this baffle Scorpio completely, it will make your pet much happier about being alive.

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
Give your Sagittarius pet more things to think about when Neptune in the Archer's 3rd House of Mental Activity sort of spaces him or her out. One-to-one interactive play could become more important now, so toys that encourage fetching and finding will provide a big thrill. Your pet's creativity could also be on the increase, so if there's a tendency toward mischief, the usual tricks could become even more inventive! The Moon will bring out your pet's preciousness on January 27, and the two of you could have a really great time taking an extra long walk or playing couch potato together.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
Your pet's penchant for power will come out now, especially early in the month. With Pluto in Capricorn's 1st House of Personality and Assertiveness, your pet could become more domineering than you ever thought possible. Extra energy in Capricorn (the Sun, Venus and Mercury) will only make this more noticeable. Around January 15, especially, your pet could try to ply you with manipulative behavior that could range from territoriality to detachment. You'll have to work hard to assert your superiority over your dog or cat. Be consistent and clear in you commands and firm about your boundaries if you expect to gain Capricorn's respect.

November 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Settling into the cooler season will be easier for your pets than for you. Chilly temperatures and longer nights will encourage them to snuggle more and roam around less, and the planets will ease them into an even less frantic state of being. The Sun's energy will be filtered through Scorpio's intense lens for most of November, and the animal kingdom will follow Mother Nature's call for rest and renewal.

Still, pets could get into some frustrating situations around November 15, when Pluto's push for transformation is strongly stifled by Saturn's determination to maintain the status quo. After November 21 the sun will romp through Sagittarius, which will inspire a more festive spirit. The Thanksgiving feast will feature a double dose of this perky energy, so if you want peace at the table, make arrangements for your pet to get enough exercise before the turkey and after the tasty pumpkin pie.

November Pet Horoscopes

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.

Now that you know what's coming for your pet, learn what's in store for you throughout the month of November!

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.

September 2009 Pet Horoscopes

September features a few major bumps in the road that everyone is sure to feel -- including your pet. Try to be especially aware of how much your pet looks to you for cues about handling life's changes. In fact, by setting an example of serenity for your pet and offering as much comfort as possible, you'll find your own sense of security will be bolstered too.

The second week of September looks especially disruptive: Pluto will turn direct, bringing an end to the illusion that all your problems have evaporated. Shortly thereafter, Saturn and Uranus will battle in a fight between old and new, and Mercury turns retrograde from September 7 to 29 to create confusion, turmoil and communication breakdowns. By taking tasks one by one, eventually life will become manageable.

September Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Pluto's drive into direct motion will wake up your Aries pet in a big way after September 11. That lazy ball of fur that spent all day waiting for you to arrive through the summer will suddenly return to its usual level of (hyper)activity and take more responsibility for daily tasks -- from guarding territory to dominating other animals that cross his or her path. This surge of power emboldens your pet, so be a strong leader. Don't ignore the signs if this pet starts crossing the line between assertive and aggressive -- channel the excess energy with extra play or more focused training.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
If your Taurus pet has been stuck in a rut, this could be the perfect time to start socializing him or her. The New Moon in your animal's house of friendship and fun will encourage a greater acceptance of new acquaintances and environments. You can try bringing the kitty that lives next door over to play, or take your dog to the neighborhood park. As the opportunities for outdoor play begin to dry up, it might be good to put some alternative measures into practice. Though the New Moon lands on September 18, this "mood" will last all month.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
You'll need to be extra careful about the way you provide leadership to your pet this month. As the rare battle between planetary titans Saturn and Uranus takes place on September 15, your pet will need to know you can be depended upon for consistency and direction. Even if you think you're being pretty clear about where the boundaries are, your pet's views can be distorted and you could be seen as being erratic and lenient. If you haven't made rules for this tricky pet yet, this would be the right time. Strong discipline will improve life for everybody involved.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Your pet is a natural nester as it is, but as the Sun moves gingerly from its 3rd House of Neighborhood Activity to its 4th House of Home and Family, those packrat tendencies could get worse. If your pet doesn't have a bed, kennel or other contained area, you might want to look into getting one now. If you don't, your pet is likely to pick one spot and become very stubborn about moving away from it. You could also note your furry one gathering toys -- and even food -- obsessively.

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Your pet will love -- and maybe even need -- company, this month more than ever. Unfortunately, things might not work out the way you would hope. With Venus in your darling's 1st House of Identity and deceptive Neptune in its 7th House of relationships, your pet might become the victim of unrequited love. All you can do here is try to spend a little more time with your pet and hope that relationships blossom as the animals involved become a little more familiar. Beware -- a bruised ego could set Leo off on an overeating binge, especially around September 15.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
Shelter your pet from the shakeups that are sure to come along when Saturn and Uranus go to war on September 15. Virgo will want to keep things exactly the way they are, but the forces of change will push harder than. You might have to examine your contribution to this. A change in your job might mean you spend less time together. Consider adding another pet to the family menagerie. Although there could be fireworks at first, Virgo will come to realize there's nothing left to do than to take care of his or her new sibling.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Your pet will take things very seriously this month, with Mars in his or her house of ambition. While this could mean good things, such as increased responsibility toward cleanliness and guard duties, it can also make your pet somewhat competitive. You'll have to work harder at establishing your position of leadership. On top of this, Mercury's moving retrograde through your pet's Sun sign and will get a lot of crossed signals. Keep trying -- by the end of the month the planets will ease off and life will be back to normal again.

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
Your pet is going to get pretty creative this month, thanks to Uranus gaining its prominence in its 5th House of Performance and Play. Some interesting acrobatics from cats, say chasing the fake mouse through a labyrinth of obstacles, or unique methods of canine bone concealment could be some of the things you'll get to see. Your Scorpio animal is intent on being excellent at whatever challenge awaits. If you were hoping to get some training in, there could be some incentive for that. Individual lessons will be better than group efforts -- Saturn is going to make peer pressure a stifling distraction.

If you're trying to get your pet to perform, perhaps for show or just to impress friends who come to visit, this is a great month to get going. Venus will give your pet a whole lot to like about learning new tricks. If you have a puppy or kitten, the organizing energy of the Virgo Sun can help you make points about toilet habits and what items are okay for chewing and/or scratching. By mid-month, Venus will move into Virgo, helping to reinforce these lessons and make your pet proud of the kind of progress that has been made.

If you don't think things such as the Full Moon affect your pets, you might change your mind after this month. Around September 4 your pet will get a very strong message from the Full Moon, and you'll be able to tell there's something unusual going on. The archetypal howling or meowing, prowling or pacing could take place. Or, you might just notice your animal is way more vigilant than usual. Take measures to provide extra comfort, and don't stop when the Full Moon wanes -- your pet will need your reassurance all month long!

August Pet Horoscopes

The easygoing days of August have arrived, but expect some tense moments as well. As always, the key to keeping your pet happy is to act as if you've got it all under control. Fortunately, unnerving issues will be resolved around August 5th, once the third eclipse of the summer brings resolution. Once pets get through the pent-up feeling Mars and Saturn are sure to deliver between August 10 and 11, the rest of the month will be comparatively calm. Take time to enjoy being warm and moving slow, and your pet will follow.

August 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
With enough youthful energy to keep you on your toes way beyond those terrible first two years, your Aries pet is a real live wire. The key to keeping Aries from wearing you out is to provide structure and discipline. Aries doesn't really want to boss you around, but this strident pet will do so until you provide an alternative. While Saturn is in Aries' 6th House of Health and Discipline, a slower pace will give your pet time to think about the consequences of careless antics -- such as running head on into the door or sloshing paws and claws around in the tropical fish tank.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
You're going to have a pretty defensive puppy or kitten this month, when a full-blown eclipse rattles Taurus' 4th House of Domestic Life and Security. Go all-out to provide a sane and stable environment. If you have a party, let your pet be sequestered somewhere quiet and safe until s/he's ready to face the tortilla chip dipping, mojito-swilling masses. Traveling could also add to the anxiety levels -- if you're going away, try to keep your little one in his or her home environment. This would be a rather inauspicious time to experiment with an unfamiliar kennel or day care facility.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
You might think you have a rather easy-going animal in your house, but when Mars makes its way through Gemini's house of ego and image, you're going to see what happens when your pet becomes a little monster! The key to curbing frustration in any animal is to offer ample exercise. Get to the dog run more than once a week, or encourage kitty to chase the birds and grasshoppers around the yard. Meaty treats will also be appealing while this red-blooded energy continues to feed your pet's ferocity -- and it's a good time to consider spaying or neutering.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
If your pet won't let you out of his or her sight, you can blame it on Pluto in your pet's 7th House of Partnership. Basically, for most of the month your furry friend won't be satisfied with being alone. Considering Cancer's capability to bring clinginess to sticky, gooey levels, you could become quite irritated with constantly tripping over that fuzzy body -- when it's not planted squarely on your chest! This could be a good time to watch a friend or neighbor's dog or cat for a week, so you can share the love. Expect power struggles around August 28, though.

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Your pet could have a bit of a personality crisis when the eclipse hits his or her 1st House of Identity. The effects could manifest in at least two different ways -- from uncharacteristic shyness to bold and unabashed aggression. This is a good time to get more one-to-one time with your pet. Pay more attention to grooming and let your baby know how much you admire that magnificent jaw line. If behavior gets out of control, administer consistent discipline and praise every attempt your pet makes to avoid direct confrontations with other animals.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
Your Virgo pet might be more sensitive than usual, and it's probably your fault. From your dog or cat's perspective, Mars has been making your behavior seem much harsher than it needs to be. Virgo's delicate nerves need reassurance, plus a calm and peaceful atmosphere, especially right now. Beware of having too many friends around at once, and respect the pet's need for privacy. Tone down your music, possibly switching from rock or R&B down to classical or cool jazz -- and leave it on while you're out of the house. You'll come home to find Virgo chilled out and relaxed into a soulful groove.

While it's in Leo, cats and dogs born under Libra will seem very social. They'll want to greet lots of guests and even invite the company of visiting animals. After August 22 though, your pet will probably seek solitude. Virgo energy makes Libras feel like it's time to reflect and think about what might be the next big step they take.

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
Your pet will be going through some trainable moments this month, so try to spend extra time working on those basic commands and behaviors. The New Moon in Leo gives you the opportunity to re-assert your authority and break patterns such as mooching, overeating and misplaced bathroom habits. Prepare for this by moving around furniture or adding devices that help make discipline easier, such as a new leash or litter box that seems to please your pet. By the 20th, you'll be ready to execute your plans for discipline and other fine displays of derring-do

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
If you really want your pet to get the most out of the peak of summer, help your Sagittarius focus on the joy of his or her ruling planet, Jupiter. As this friendly, jovial giant goes through your pet's 3rd House of Communication, Neighborhood and Short Trips, use these themes when you consider activities that involve you and your furry bud. Spend lots of time at the local dog park, invite your neighbor's cat over for a play date or take your dog or cat on a short trip in the car. A fresh perspective will re-ignite that fiery, cheerful spirit.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
While everyone else is lying around and lazing in the sometimes-too-hot Sun, your pet will seem more than a bit agitated, thanks to the irritating presence of erratic Uranus in Capricorn's House of Mental Activity and Communication. Those peaceful crickets chirping outside your window? Your dog or cat will be on the alert -- and ready at any moment to pounce and destroy them. The up side here is the guard animal potential, which can be nice on a camping trip or during a stay in a relative's deserted vacation house. Calming moments -- maybe in the mountains -- would be best for your pet.

July Pet Horoscopes

There's no escaping fireworks in July, but this time their unnerving effect could influence pets well past the Independence Day weekend. The Sun, Moon and Earth will line up to create eclipses that seem to touch issues as basic as security and status. The best way to keep your pet's morale high is to be aware of your own feelings about these topics. Being confident in the face of something new is the best example you can set. This can go an especially long way when you go off on vacation and leave your pet in the care of a kennel, neighbors or a boarding facility. If you believe everything is going to be all right, your pet will have no reason to suspect anything else.

Read on to see what more is in store for your furry friend throughout July:

July 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Aries pets are sure to pick up on the two big eclipses that take place this month. Around July 7, an eclipse of the Moon will increase your animal's tendency to establish superiority over others, particularly those who are small and fragile. If your dog, cat or other pet is an "Alpha" creature, you may need to monitor their behavior around the rest of the pack. On July 21, an eclipse of the Sun could incite fearful reactions to changes to their domestic scene, whether real or perceived. Extra petting, favorite foods and as much consistency as you can muster are just some of the ways you can cultivate courage.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
The Taurus pet's acquisitive nature could become even more noticeable when Venus and Mars move into Taurus' 2nd House of Possessions. This is a time when your cat, dog or other cuddly creature becomes more attentive toward what he or she "has," from food to toys and even some of your things. Deter your cat from sitting on your printer by providing a catnip-laced blanket, and teach doggie that the remote control and other items in your living space are not necessarily chew toys. Gently declare your own territory, and don't be tempted to give in to boorish behavior.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
Even though the rest of the world is feeling the lazy days of summer this July, your Gemini pet will continue to show off his or her pep and sparkle thanks to Uranus shining in their 10th House of Status. So, if you want to get time in your hammock or lawn chair, plan to either have your dog or cat running around you, or tire out your pet with a long walk or extended play session first. Your pet's nervous energy will come out more now, especially around July 7 when Mars adds more power to Uranus' "static." You can play soothing music, provide catnip or give a chew toy to help Gemini reach a calmer state.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Lavish your Cancer pet with lots of attention and more than a little quality time this July. With the Sun shining brightly in your furry darling's sign, plus Mercury spending most of the month in Cancer, too, self-involvement is going to be the thing that comes naturally. If you have to leave your pet for a short time while you go on a trip or you want to spend more time lazing in the Sun with other human beings, be sure that someone is around to pick up the pieces and distract your pet from spiraling into one of those moody periods Cancers are famous for.

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Your Leo pet might already be the center of your universe, but this month you'll find that even your most intense attention isn't quite "enough." You'll watch the drama unfold (yes, even more so than usual), as intense energies encourage him or her to be extremely physical early in July, then rather contemplative as the month comes to a close. Before you reach for the Prozac prescription or some other kind of mood stabilizer, consider the fact that two eclipses are enough to make anyone's brain go in at least two different directions. Pet and cuddle, cuddle and pet.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
If your Virgo pet seems to need more encouragement than usual, remember that having Saturn in his or her sign can be somewhat of a burden. Although there's no reason to fear health problems or difficulties, it never hurts to make sure your pet is in perfect shape. A trip to the vet in pursuit of a clean bill of health will make this health-conscious creature feel better, anyway! You can also enhance your pet's vitality with healthy foods. Switch over to natural products that are designed to provide extra surges of raw physical energy, and avoid doling out too many rich, lethargy-producing treats.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Territoriality could become an issue with your Libra pet as Pluto takes over his or her 2nd House of Domestic Assets this July. Use this to your advantage by proceeding with a little guard training, or introduce your cat to a new, safe and summer-friendly enclosure for relaxation in the warmer weather. This might not be the greatest time to introduce another pet into the household, obviously. With Pluto's powerful influences getting let loose, fur will fly! Even regular neighborhood playmates might not receive as warm a welcome as usual, because your cat or dog will initiate power struggles just to show everyone involved who rules the roost.

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
Your Scorpio pet is the embodiment of sexiness, and this particular attribute is going to jump out at you this July. Mercury, the planet of communication, will inspire your companion to show off the sultriest side of his or her being. Whether it's schmoozing at the pet store or eyeing up others in the vet's waiting room, your animal is going to be on the prowl in more ways than one! Even when Scorpio pets are unable carry through on their intentions to mate, they'll enjoy an afternoon playing chase and fetch with an animal of the opposite gender.

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
Your Sagittarius pet is all about fun, and this month Venus is going to bring out the clown you love so much. This pleasure-loving planet will make doing things for fun almost irresistible. Introduce new toys or take your pet into a summery setting such as a quiet backyard or a private swimming pool. After June 9, expect more demands from your pet to spend time outdoors. It could be time to install that little door or spend more time at the dog park where your faithful cur can suck in some fresh air. It's just better to enjoy special things about warmer weather together.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
Jupiter's presence in the "spending" portion of your Capricorn pet's chart could affect your finances if you're not careful. Although cats and dogs can't use words to ask for life's little luxuries, they have other ways to open up your wallet. If you want to indulge your pet in something out of the ordinary, it would be good to at least check that what you're buying will add to his or her life. Instead of dropping dollars on fancy treats or some extravagant piece of clothing, consider a cat habitat or a leash that makes your dog feel more secure on walks. The satisfaction will last a lot longer.

Just like humans, your pets will be affected by the movement of the planets - so you'll need to know what forces they're using to out-maneuver you with their sometimes-unpredictable antics. Whether you've got a cute cat or an adorable dog, these horoscopes are here to help!

Life will move more quickly and with less resistance this June. Pets will enjoy exploring their neighborhoods, or at least the habitat you've created for them within your own abode. Make time for extra walks for your dog, and consider letting kitty in and out through a safe-but-flexible pet door that leads to an enclosed and preferably grassy space.

Communication is key while the Sun is in Gemini. No one will think you're silly for giving your furry friend words of encouragement, especially when praise has been earned. After summer arrives on June 21, pets will settle in for lazier days and hours of peaceful sunbathing.

Read on to delve deeper into what June holds for your special four-legged friend!

June 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Aries Pets (March 21 - April 19)
Your Aries pet will want to socialize this June, as Neptune creates an instinctive call to gather with the pack or den. If you're not feeling particularly athletic right now, it could pay to hire a neighborhood caretaker to handle the play date duties. Even the most sedentary cat will notice the lengthening days and other sure signs that it's almost summer. On June 17 you might notice your animal's trying to tell you how much a long walk or some time wandering around with the rest of the wild beasts would be appreciated. Don't be the dork that doesn't get the hint in time to thwart a slick break-out!

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
You've probably noticed your Taurus pet can be rather hard to dissuade, and this month that stubborn streak could become more obvious than ever. Venus and Mars will take up residence in this mostly placid beast's 7th House of Identity and Desire, and your furry friend is likely to become even more pleasure-seeking than before. If your pet's involved in a mating game, the lucky moment could arrive when the Virgo Moon hooks up with Mars and Venus on June 27 and 28. If you're not into breeding, maybe your pet's adorableness at the vet or dog park will lovingly attract the perfect match for YOU!

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
With erratic Uranus in your dog or cat's 10th House of Authority Figures this June, it's key to be consistent with your pet. Even if you think you're executing your masterly duties perfectly and predictably, your pet will be grading you with an extra-critical whisker raised. Exercise is key for Gemini pets, because when they don't get up and stretch, they wind up sitting around thinking up ways to take out their inborn nervousness on you. Start a daily workout routine, whether it means chasing kitty around the coffee table or getting up half an hour early to run around the neighborhood with your faithful dog.

Yes, it's true that your dog or cat can be a homebody, but when the New Moon and Full Moon inspire personal desire and a sense of adventure, it could be the perfect time to plan a vacation. Satisfy Cancer's affinity for water this June with a camping trip that lands at the lake or takes place by a babbling brook. Or, rent a pet-friendly seaside bungalow and offer special treats featuring nibbles of crab, lobster and mussels. Kicking around in sand or simply the sound of the sea lapping up on the shore will restore your pet's spirit, and get you closer to nature for a few days, too.

Spectacular surges of personality will make your dog or cat a real attention getter. If there are awards or rewards at stake, the joining together of Venus and Mars on June 21, coinciding with the start of summer, will attract all the right energy and make you and your pet big winners.

I See a Bone in Your Future - May Pet Horoscopes

by Paw Nation Staff (Subscribe to Paw Nation Staff's posts): May 1st 2009 8:00AM Filed Under: Pet Horoscopes, Photo Galleries

By Stephanie Dempsey
Provided by Tarot.com

"Should I play with my mouse or my catnip?" What does that Yorkie at the dog run really think of me? "Should I sleep on my owner's bed while he's at work?"

You pet has a lot of questions on his mind. Why not help him sort it all out with a little advice from the stars? All pets should know what's happening with the planets, so they can monitor the people in the household, of course.

Pets of all signs, take note:

May is always fun. When the weather gets sunnier, your people do, too, which takes the pressure to cheer them up all of the time off your back. Besides that, pretty flowers, greener grass and other signs that winter is over are reasons for you to feel like a pup or kitten again. Mercury retrograde could cause some frustrating situations for your humans starting on the 13^th, though. Nuzzle lovingly, tilt your head, and act concerned. That way they'll keep feeding you the good stuff, even if money gets a little tight.

May 2009 Pet Horoscopes

Aries
Saturn will make the two-legged ones think more about "healthy food," exercise and other nuisances that make lazing around in the sun harder to do than it really should be. Choose your level of participation as best you can. Canines might enjoy chasing their people as they jog or run, but if they bring out those weird rollerblades like the Dog Whisperer guy on TV – head for your favorite spot under a couch or bed. Are you a feline who's packed on a bit of extra winter weight? Less food in the bowl might actually be a good thing for now. And yes, chasing the plush mouse is excellent exercise.

jupiterimages

Taurus
The Sun will stick in your sign for most of the month, so make sure your people get you a bunch of nice birthday presents and extra lap time. You don't ask for much, after all. Nicer, warmer weather should translate to more walks for canines, and more frequent trips to the dog park. Cats will rejoice at litter being changed more often or cute little pots of catnip being placed lovingly by their bowls. Yes! If you still can't attract the right kind of attention, use the depressed-looking eyes or cough up a fur ball. Just don't get them thinking it's serious enough to warrant a dreaded trip to the vet.

Photodisc

Gemini
Mercury's going to go retrograde while it's in your sign, so you might experience more confusion and crossed signals than usual. You'll need to work hard at honing your communication skills, and training your people to give you what you want. Rather than spending all day in your favorite spot, use some of the long hours they're away at work to perfect your best "pet me – NOW" look. It's worth the risk of creeping into the verboten bedroom to get a peek in the full-length mirror. You do have to keep them feeding, walking and pampering you on cue, right?

Corbis

Cancer
Old conflicts could come back into the picture when Pluto goes retrograde in your house of relationships. Even if you're the only animal in the house, a boarding situation at the vet's or groomer's could spell trouble when you run into a ruffian you had problems with before, or get into a hissy fit about a nasty-smelling neighbor trying to take over your territory. If you have a fellow feline or flea-bitten "sibling" to deal with, you might fight over an issue that had fur flying between you in the past. Claim your power but don't give the humans reasons to send you in for obedience training!

jupiterimages

Leo
You consistently insist on getting as much attention as possible, and this month that could be truer than ever. Mars in your house of status will push your ambitions to a whole new level. If you go to day care or have play dates with another pet, you won't want to cooperate and share as much as you should. Try to curb your desire to have more than your fair share of resources, from food to affection, because Mars could also raise the disciplinary instincts of a harsh human who's hell-bent on trying to make you believe you're not really the boss.

jupiterimages

Virgo
With Venus pumping up the passion in your house of mating, it's impossible to forget what spring is all about in the animal kingdom. Even if you've lost some of your libido due to "The Operation," that certain sultry feeling that you should be cuddling with someone even warmer and furrier than you will be hard to subdue. Canines will find your olfactory senses to be even keener than usual, and your desire for a barking neighbor on the other side of the fence could grow. Felines might try to sneak outside to answer the call of the wild out back or in the alley.

Corbis

Libra
You could get very playful now, as Neptune fires up your imagination and allows you to find all kinds of new uses for old toys. Canines may dig up an old bone, or re-discover the fun of stealing socks. Felines might even have to admit that dancing in pursuit of that silly toy with the dangling plastic streamers really is kind of fun. It's also possible that you'll have to deal with younger pets now. A new puppy or kitten could look to you for sage advice about toilet training, or seem to beg for a rap on the nose for boisterous behavior.

Getty Images

Scorpio
The Full Moon in your sign is going to be a time to remember. Being as tuned into nature as you are, you have genuine respect for the Moon's ability to stimulate the emotions and fuel your obsessions. Obviously, you're going to have to be careful about getting under your people's skin. Still, though, you should expect them to provide ample outside time or something "real" to devour, such as a bone, a grasshopper or a delicious rodent of some kind. Your wild side will be strongest around May 9th, but you'll be more fidgety than usual all month.

Corbis

Sagittarius
If you've been ruling the roost, your reign as sole owner of your people might come to an end this month when Jupiter goes retrograde in your house of brothers, sisters and short journeys. The people could be back to thinking about bringing in a "playmate" for you, or diversifying to add a different kind of animal to the family. You're usually pretty open about welcoming new elements into your life, but if you're not in the mood to share your people with another pet, give them just enough trouble around the house to show why they wouldn't want it doubled.

Corbis

Capricorn
Strong energies in your house of hygiene could get uncomfortable for you. Your people will probably take you off to the vet for a dental exam or to get your ouchy vaccinations up to date. One of those bouts with the groomer where you wind up with water in the ears could be in store, too. Look at the bright side. A new style could be a welcome relief, particularly if you're the type that has too much hair to stay cool and comfy in the summer heat. The whole month is suspect, but the New Moon on the 24th could be the thing that convinces them to finally do the deed(s).

Your Pet Horoscope - What Pal is Right for You?

Your pet says a lot about who you are. It may even be possible to predict your sign through the pet you own -- or should we say, who owns you! The beautiful woman escorting the well-groomed poodle could very well be a Libra. And the championship equestrian? Probably a Sagittarian. Read on to see what astrology has to say about the kind of animal companion that works best for you.

Do you know your pet's birthday? Look out for our pet horoscopes in May!

Pets by Sign

Pets for Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Rams are always on the go, so you need a lively pet that can keep up with you -- like maybe a Jack Russell terrier. That fit bicyclist with the cockatoo on his shoulder is apt to be an Aries. An animal that doesn't mind being left alone a lot -- like an older cat or even a hamster -- also works well. Better yet, how about a menagerie of cats, rabbits and dogs? They'll keep each other entertained and make you laugh -- a favorite Aries pastime!

Getty Images

Pets for Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The sensual Bull likes a touchable pet, like a plush Russian blue or Scottish fold cat. No slimy reptiles for you, although the placid, ambling nature of the tortoise -- your other animal symbol -- could capture your heart. High-strung breeds like Dalmatians make you nervous. A Taurus can be found in the neighborhood park, playing catch with a sweet-natured golden retriever or beagle. You'll also find the silky-soft rabbit charming.

Getty Images

Pets for Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
A parrot or cockatiel makes a great companion for the Twins. Birds resonate with your airy, free spirit -- and what a plus for your chatty nature if your pet can actually talk back to you! You'd also appreciate an intelligent dog, like a German shepherd. The young woman on the plane with a Chihuahua tucked into her satchel is likely a Gemini. The antics of a monkey or even pet mice could be an endless source of delight for you.

Getty Images

Pets for Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Forget about the prickly Crab. Your true symbol is the cat, curled up in a ball. Home-loving, cuddlesome and fond of eating -- just like you -- the tabby cat is your perfect breed. Allow your female cat to have a litter of kittens -- you'll both be in seventh heaven. You can spot a Cancer slipping food to an animal pal under the table. Any fragile creature, like abandoned birds or neglected dogs, will find a nurturing home with you.

Getty Images

Pets for Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
The Lion is regal at heart. Whatever pet you choose, it should be gorgeous or exotic enough to match your kingly or queenly nature. Think Bull Mastiff, long-haired tortoiseshell cat or iguana. The pride with which a Leo shows off his Arabian horse is a dead giveaway to his sign. Elegance is essential, even in a run-of-the-mill breed. Playfulness is also key -- you're a child at heart, and your pet should be, too.

Getty Images

Pets for Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)
Dogs that smell and cats that shed -- or any creature that misbehaves -- won't last long with you, Virgo. You'll insist on taking the puppy to training school and the cat to be professionally groomed. And everyone will thank you for it! The family with goats or chickens in the backyard, doling out milk and eggs, is probably headed by a practical, health-conscious Virgo. You also appreciate the clean, quiet ways of a hamster or rabbit.

Getty Images

Pets for Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
Aesthetics are important to you. The stylish guy with the cream-colored Persian to match the couch is no doubt a Libra. Lizards, snakes and ratty little dogs leave you cold. But an elegant afghan would suit you fine. You admire the beauty of exotic fish, and their tranquil meanderings soothe your nerves. You adore birds, especially lovebirds, but their chirping may disturb your need for harmony. An outdoor aviary is the solution.

Getty Images

Pets for Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
That kid from school with the boa constrictor caged up in his bedroom? Probably a Scorpio. Your sign resonates with the seductive, secretive nature of the reptile family. Pets with an air of mystery, like an Abyssinian cat or even an owl, also appeal to you. So do those with a dangerous edge, such as a pit bull or Doberman. You admire an animal that can hold its own -- just like you.

Getty Images

Pets for Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
With the Centaur as your symbol, it's no surprise that the horse is one of your favorite animals. That teenaged girl smitten with riding was probably born under the sign of Sagittarius. The free nature of the horse awakens your fiery, questing spirit. You also like outdoorsy dogs like labs and huskies. If you have a cat, it probably brings home special "trophies" for you. Your footloose nature may require you to forgo being a pet owner until you're ready to settle down.

Getty Images

Pets for Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
You're status-conscious, so that fluffy white dog of yours probably has a pedigree. If admiring glances from your neighbors aren't enough, show him off at dog shows and you may win a prize. The Goat loves to mountain climb, so a nimble-footed breed like a collie works well as a companion. Dogs and cats bring out your latent nurturing side and help lure you to the comforts of home -- a plus for a sign that tends to work too much.
