Your Pet’s Horoscopes

Week starting: Monday, January 30th

As astrology has a profound effect on our human world so it also influences the lives of our pets.

Just as the zodiac is divided up into 12 very different personality types it is perfectly natural that this should extend to animals.
All these different traits can be explained by studying the astrological influences that determine their character and behaviour patterns. Now check out your own pet’s horoscope to see what the stars say this week - starting Monday, January 30th!

Aries

You’re almost eternally in the mood for fun; your housemate has seen how very sociable you are and how you always find ways of connecting with people and pets, consistently adding new names to your wide circle of contacts. When something is delivered to your door, you’re on the spot to greet the delivery person. Be wise enough to know that some of those who ring your bell are strangers and you need to be on the alert!

Taurus

There you go are carrying out ordinary, day to day rituals, following the routines established by your housemate, but underneath all that commonplace activity you have the heart of a warrior and may wish for more hazardous or impressive acts to take on. Don’t dwell on such adventures; in the moment, be glad there are no dragons to fight, no emergencies to respond to and no dramas to contain; just enjoy doing all the lovely daily things that make up the world you and your human companion share.

Gemini

All those television ads and magazines have put your people into buying mode. With new toys for pets and fashionable outfits constantly on parade, how can anyone resist? Whether it’s because you’re such a dear pet, or because your friend is trying to keep up with the times or outdo a neighbour, you’ll give your companion a lot of pleasure if you appear to enjoy the item they acquire for you and let them show you off.

Cancer

As the week wears on you note it grows more difficult to relate to disgruntled companions; the best you can do is to lay low till this phase ends. While you’re staying out of the way, you’re able to observe things you miss when you’re in the thick of things; take note of these impressions as they’ll help you to be a better companion in the months ahead. There’s a certain advantage in collecting information in this way; it puts you in a position of power!

Leo

As the week rolls along your tremendous networking energy will be called into play to make connections for people who need them. You’d do well as good will ambassador; perhaps it’s time you put the idea in your companion’s head so they’ll get you involved in local functions where your special skills could be put to use. There are few things you like better than being around people and making friends; you have too much social interest to just stay home all the time.

Virgo

You may feel a bit out of sorts, but it’s not without reason; if the tempers of those closest to you have been flaring, it’s no wonder you’re bothered! When creatures live in proximity, what happens to one influences all. Don’t fret, these testy times will be coming to an end shortly and peace will once again return. In the meantime, keep clear of flying objects; it’s possible one of your housemates, in a momentary madness, could hurl something across the room!

Libra

There’s no predictable reason for you to be naughty now, but you just can’t resist a little bit of nonsense that causes a disturbance in the kitchen. The one you live with will be pleased enough once you settle down, but there is someone who delightedly giggles in secret while watching you cause your mischief. An experience or dream you have later this week brings a new sense of closeness between you and your companion. The rhythm you establish with each other is uncanny!

Scorpio

Vocalising your disappointment could set your human companion on edge. Ideally, your friend will understand that you’re only trying to communicate your needs, rather than create chaos. If the two of you do have an argument, you will kiss and make up over the weekend. The truth is, it’s hard for two unlike species to get along. With a little effort and a lot of patience, though, you can overlook each other’s differences.

Sagittarius

Your need to be of service is at a high so when unexpected visitors arrive you’ll be at the ready to tackle all the extra little chores that need doing. Don’t cause a fuss if there are some tasks that have to be repeated; though your intentions are good, you may not do things the way your friend expects and be asked to try again. Your good nature wins the hearts of many admirers.

Capricorn

How you’re enjoying the pace and feeling of this special time of year and the thought of extended family coming to visit sets your heart aflame. Festive touches are placed around your home and though you may be looking forward to settling into your usual routine, it may be some weeks before things revert to the usual. Be careful walking about as many of the items you now see on display are so special they’re only brought out once a year! Watch your step!

Aquarius

At week’s end you get a break from what had been a busy period as your housemates have time to be more attentive to you. This is a nice role reversal, as you’re usually working hard for your humans and for others who enter your home. This brief period of mindfulness is followed by a return to taking care of routines, but you never complain about anything that’s asked of you. Enjoy all the experiences you have now; they show you’re part of the family!

Pisces

Aggressive? You? Well, yes, especially when people don’t automatically satisfy your demands. If someone puts your favourite toy out of reach or refuses to share their dinner, you’ll put up quite a fight. In fact, you’ll be so vociferous in your demands that you might actually scare somebody. At times like these, a little training is in order. You must be taught how to delay gratification. Otherwise, you’ll be insufferable!
