Aries compatibility
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac.This sign, more than any other, needs to lead. A natural-born warrior, fearless and courageous when positive, but foolhardy and reckless when negative, an Aries person is difficult to ignore, highly competitive, hard to beat, in sufferably annoying, but strangely likeable.Aries people are strong-willed, adventurous, naturally extrovert, and impulsive.Loaded with energy and vitality, they charge at full power into their endeavors and expect people to keep up with them. Most Arian people are direct, outspoken and uncomplicated. Arians can strike out and hurt, both mentally and physically, but they are just as quick to forgive and forget.

Geminis can bluff their way through any situation. Relatives, friends, and companions are very important to Gemini people.Their restless nature leads them to travel by road, rail, and air. The Geminians life may appear to be chaotic, but this is how they like it.

Cancer compatibility
Cancer signs have deep emotions and fathomless longings. Rather than take a risk and put all their energy into something that might fail, they prefer to wait and watch. When the time is ripe they dive in with great speed and efficiency. They are serious, caring, sensitive people with complex psyches.This is a sign that dislikes taking unneccessary risks. When the going gets tough, they are perfectly content to dig in and surround themselves with domestic comfort and security. A wounded Cancerian is not an easy person to deal with. Given the opportunity at the right time, people of this sign cope remarkably well with fame, fortune, and responsibility. Money and a sense of security play an important part in the Cancerian scheme of life.Though careful with money they are kind, generous and thoughtful.

Leo compatibility
Proud and regal, fiery and determined, the subjects of the leo sign are always a bit larger than life. Leos love to be noticed, admired, and adored. Innately lazy and good-natured, it is often quite difficult for Leo subjects to make an effort to assert themselves. Leos are renowned for being eternal children. Leos are loyal, likable, and often quite lovely people, but they can also be self-indulgent, stubborn, and prone to sulking if they don't get their own way.They are warm, demonstrative, and theatrical and love pageantry, blitz and glamour. They love adornment of their physical self. When Leos commit themselves to something they go with it for life. Leos are honest in love life. Leos when loved and respected have hearts of gold. But when not loved or when they are not reciprocated they become depressed, self-pitying and self-destructive.

Virgo compatibility
Virgos seem to sit on the fence looking backward with confidence and at the same time displaying a certain timidity in moving forward.Virgoan subjects are happy to remain in the background, employing their organizational skills to help those with extrovert talents.Virgos are practical, sensible, logical, and clever.They can make mountains out of molehills in both a positive and negative context .Virgos are renowned for their fussy, worrying, critical natures-traits which can be very irritating to other signs.They are perfectionists who need to have everything just right. No sign is more critical or more demanding of itself than Virgo. Fussiness, which borders on obsession at times, is apparent with most Virgoans.

Libra compatibility
Libran subjects tend to center their lives around love and relationships. People born under Libra zodiac sign need a partner in order to be at their best and feel fulfilled. Librans are reluctant to select a direction until they are absolutely certain it is the right one. For this reason they tend to be thought indecisive.
Librans love to impose a sense of order in their lives-everything must look perfect-appearance, clothing, possessions, home and environment must be scrupulously clean and tidy. Most librans posses a hard, cold, steely core. When they are confronted and forced to show their true colors, subjects of this sign can turn out to be remarkably hard, aggressive, and verbally self protective. Outwardly likable, gracious, and caring, it comes as a surprise when, at the slightest hint of trouble, Librans quickly vanish.To achieve balance in all aspects of their lives is the ultimate aim of most Librans, but sometimes the means does not justify the end.

Scorpio compatibility
Scorpio is probably the most feared and yet the most revered sign of the zodiac. Most Scorpios would not hurt a fly for they are as gentle, caring, and generous as they can be hard, cruel, and mean. It really depends how they are treated.This is a sign which demands respect and usually gets it. Scorpions are highly sensitive, emotional creators who are so easily hurt that they cannot bear to show their feelings for fear of being ridiculed.Scorpios develop from an early age the ability to control such outer expressions of emotion, and remain dry-eyed. Scorpios do not forgive easily, if even at all, and are capable of holding a grudge for the rest of their lives. Scorpio subjects are hardworking, generous, and very determined. Once they begin a task, they will be dedicated to finishing it. Scorpios can become obsessively devoted to a person, a cause, or a project.

Sagittarius compatibility
Given freedom, they are warm, affectionate, funny,and interesting companions .The adaptability of Sagittarius gives ambidexterity to its subject and enables them to tackle more than one thing at a time. Concentration is not their strong point, however, and they often become unstuck when talking on too much.Their love of change and variety makes them fascinating but unreliable .Projects are started but not finished, appointments and promises are made but not kept, and words are spoken which mean nothing a few days later.Sagittarians listen earnestly to advice but rarely follow it.They are easily able to forgive and forget. Regarded as the luckiest sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius always appear to land on their feet. They can be reckless and foolhardy, and children of this sign are often prone to accidents. Sagittarius are known for their bluntness and what they perceive is plain honesty. Diplomacy is an alien word to them. They are great storytellers.

Capricorn compatibility
Capricorn subjects have a sense of duty and responsibility toward themselves and others. Capricorns solider on down the road of success. Because they work hard at everything they do, they expect everyone else to be the same. Laziness, apathy, and lack of ambition are alien words to Capricorns.
From a very early age Capricorns seem to have old heads on their young shoulders. Baby capricorns have fewer tantrums than the other children of the zodiac cycle. Capricorns need masses of respect, recognition, and security in their lives. Capricorns of all types are intrinsically loyal, reliable, honest, hardworking, and astute.

Aquarius compatibility
Aquarius is one of the hardest signs of the zodiac to understand. Aquarius are often felt to be unfathomable when in reality they live almost entirely on the surface.Aquarians will not reveal their innermost feelings no matter how hard others may try to persuade them, simply because they are unable to do so.People of this sign have a reputation for being enigmatic, difficult to understand, and different from everyone else, and cleverly play on this to gain power and attention.They are extremely friendly yet detached at a personal level, sociable in large gatherings, but unsociable at smaller meetings and parties which require greater intimacy. They are helpful and compassionate when involved with charities or group activities.
Zodiac compatibility: aries, leo, libra, gemini
Best Engagement Stone: garnet, turquoise, agate
Love color: blue

Pisces compatibility
This is the sign which contains a little of every other sign and is often the hardest of all to understand. Pisces are rarely content. Typical Pisces subjects are quiet and introspective, preferring to watch and wait rather than dive straight in. They are generally kind, sympathetic, and supportive, and readily offer a listening ear for people with problems and a shoulder for friends to cry on.
But when the time comes that they need to be comforted themselves, they find it hard to express their feelings to others and often turn away and console themselves in private. The Pisces capacity to reach great heights and sink to the lowest depths leaves them vulnerable to addictions. Pisces are gullible and easily tempted, especially when young.

blame it on his sign: why men do the things they do

Aries

'Arrogant. Pompous. Vain. Cruel. Verbose. Show-off. I've been called all of these. Of course, I am.' Howard Cosell (Born March 25)

Passionate, idealistic, and sentimental, the Aries man is part hero, part child, no matter what his age. He's as friendly as a puppy, downright fearless, and rather like one of those weighted clowns that children punch. You can knock him down, but he will always bounce back. And, for as long as he loves you, he will be faithful, sexy, and attentive. If you feel weak in the knees, make sure there's a sofa handy to fall on, because by the time you've swooned, this Romeo will have moved on to his next conquest! Aries men are in love with love. The appeal is in the art of romance and the thrill of the chase, not your charming smile.

Some astrologers compare an Aries man to a knight in shining armour. However, you are just as likely to get run down by his charging steed as scooped up in a pair of loving arms. Sir Lancelot may have been bold and honest, but he was also a royal pain in the butt - a bit like your Aries man. His ego ruined a kingdom when, in his eagerness to run his hand up Guinevere's dress, he conveniently forgot his vow to King Arthur. In Lance's point of view, he was a hero, and to an Aries man, his point of view is the only one that counts. The Ram fears mediocrity more than death. He would rather be the biggest jerk in town than just another anonymous working slob. He is subjective, bossy, and has a caustic wit he inflicts with careless abandon. He takes pride in being more self-centered than Scorpio and more obtuse than Taurus. He's sure he's right, especially when he is wrong.

Male Rams come in two types. Bold, brash, and ready for action or shy, quiet, and ready for action. Don't be fooled by the shy type. He may come over all 'Aw shucks' and toe shuffles, like Aries Dennis Quaid, but under that poker face, or enigmatic smile, his brain synapses are firing at 1,000 per minute, concentrating on the best way to get you into his bed in the shortest possible time.

On the door of the original Playboy Mansion in Chicago hung a brass plate with the inscription 'Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare' - the Latin for 'If you don't swing, don't ring'. Aries Hugh Hefner, the flip, hip, big daddy of hedonism, is still alive and well, and still the quintessential bad boy at 77.

Remember all of this before you buy your wedding dress. After the ceremony, he will expect you to worship the ground he makes you crawl on, while he declares his need for freedom. He will require you to have the house sparkling, the grass mowed, and the cars washed, all before he gets home from his latest adventure. He'll leave a trail of dirty clothes from the front door to the shower, while shouting his dinner order over his shoulder. When he appears at the table, he'll expect you to have a gourmet's delight in one hand and his favourite cold drink in the other. And, you'd better look like you just stepped out of the pages of Vogue. This man chases the ideal. He doesn't want a real woman, with real needs. He wants the adoration of a mother and the ethereal qualities of a fairy princess, all wrapped up in the figure of a Playboy centrefold. He thinks he is indestructible, but he's extremely accident-prone and seldom gets through life without a few broken bones, several concussions, and a couple of totalled cars. He is restless, fidgety, and has frequent headaches.

Just as he is either brash or shy, he'll either be a spendthrift or paranoid about starving to death. You'll have to cut out coupons and buy pork and beans in bulk, while he plays Mr Fix-It with the plumbing. You'll learn to sew and to raise your own veggies, while he attacks his latest money-making scheme with the same fierce energy that makes him shout at the TV and practise road rage in the church parking lot. If he's loose with cash, you'll have to work two jobs to keep the debt-collectors off your back and a roof over your heads.

Mr Ram communicates by temper tantrum. He will smash the glasses and put his fist through the wall one minute, then get jiggy with it the next. And he will be genuinely surprised when you resist his ardour as you're bent over the dustpan, sweeping up shards of crystal.

Your favourite martian will start a little war to have an excuse to slam out of the house and stay out until all hours. A Leo would announce that he's going out with the boys, and a Capricorn would tell you he's working late at the office, but Aries needs to rationalise his bad behaviour. If you're the bitch, then he is still the hero. The Greeks christened him the Ram. You can call him Butthead.

Virgo

'I'm not afraid to let people know that I'm kind of an idiot.'Terry Bradshaw (Born September 2)

He's faithful, thoughtful, and cool-headed during a crisis. A Virgo man will be home in time for dinner, help you balance the cheque book, and help raise the children. Whether he's as sexy as Sean Connery, or as silly as Peter Sellers, he will always be by your side. He's conscientious, capable, thrifty, kind, and loyal. Sounds like a real boy scout, doesn't he? Well, he is - the bargain basement version.

Life with a male Virgoan is like being pushed into traffic when you don't want to cross the street. Born with a superior attitude and an eye for improving everything except his own conduct, he is as relentless with his fault-finding as a pit bull locked onto a mailman's leg, and just as unsympathetic.

At his worst, he's a classic chauvinist, dismissing what he doesn't believe and believing only what's convenient to his point of view. His one talent for conversation is a non-stop string of criticisms about every facet of your existence, from the way you wear your hair to your coupon-clipping ability. And he won't hesitate to insult your intelligence by demonstrating just how to accomplish either task.

At his best, he has the kind of predictability that will give you sleeping sickness. He'll expect dinner promptly at six, where you will exchange news of the day's events. Then he'll spend an hour with the children, who will go to bed exactly at eight. Next comes an hour of telling you how to improve your housekeeping abilities. Finally, he'll retire to his home office where he'll spend the rest of the evening mumbling over the bills or developing a plan for your self-improvement.

His character is purely idiosyncratic. Every Virgo has his own peculiar thought process and just as peculiar a speech pattern. Many self-made Virgo millionaires are unable to utter a sensible statement.

Throughout his career, legendary Hollywood producer Virgo Samuel Goldwyn adamantly refused to compromise his search for the finest talent, directors, screenwriters, and technical crews. You can't argue with perfection, and The Goldwyn Touch set a standard of excellence that has been seldom, if ever, matched. Sam also had an unmatched Virgo talent for trying to act superior and coming off as a total goofball.

When his secretary asked for permission to destroy files that were more than 10 years old, Goldwyn said, 'Yes, but keep copies'. He's also credited with such gems as, 'Give me a couple of years, and I'll make that actress an overnight success,' 'If I look confused, it's because I'm thinking,' and 'True. I've been a long time making up my mind, but now I'm giving you a definite answer maybe.'

Argue with yours, and he'll stare at you as if you've just lost your mind, for he can't believe you dared to disagree. Then he will repeat, word by word, the conversation, question, or disagreement that led you to throw the toaster at his head. Soon, you will feel as if ants were crawling through your brain and will apologise just to shut him up.

You can take comfort in the knowledge that if you are determined to force his hand, you can send him to bed with a tummy ache. The fact that he's pretending to be ill, and he knows you know it, makes no difference. A male Virgo will feign anything from a headache to a heart attack if he feels cornered. He's as loathe to confront a situation as is his opposite, Pisces, but where Pisces fears confrontation itself, Virgo fears facing any unpleasantries about himself. Of course, he will expect you to rush to his side with chicken soup and spoon-feed him. If he can't control you with his superiority, he'll try to by appearing helpless.

If you want romance and love songs, choose any other sign (except Capricorn), because you won't find it with this man. Serve him dinner by candlelight and he'll complain he can't see what he's eating. He'll talk a lot about sex and isn't above leering at the nearest pretty face. However, he's really not into promiscuity, even the legal kind, except on Wednesday and Saturday nights, unless it's tax season, then revise that schedule to Saturday from 9 to 9:15. He's so methodical that you can put a cake in the oven and be assured that his buzzer will go off five minutes before the kitchen timer.

A Virgo man is nervous, nit-picky, and as selfish as a spinster guarding her assets. Emotional scenes baffle and alarm him because he fears losing control. Unless, of course, he plans to lose control, and even then he will try to orchestrate the outcome. Like Mr Spock, too much unbridled passion makes his brain melt.

Gemini

'I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.' Tony Curtis (Born June 3)

He is simply irresistible. The Gemini man is a fun-loving, independent, roguish romantic who has a doctorate in flirting. He can cook an exotic dinner. Then dance with you in the starlight, point out the constellations, and capture your heart with his beautiful version of their myths. But don't invite the wedding guests yet. While you are mentally compiling the guest list, he will excuse himself to get you a fresh glass of chilled wine, and while in the kitchen, manage to phone three other girls for dates next weekend. The only thing this schmoozing, womanising, party animal is interested in is adding your phone number and bra size to his ever-increasing list of victims.

Gemini movie star Errol Flynn was long regarded as the black sheep of Hollywood. The phrase 'in like Flynn' was coined as tribute to his ability to score. His real-life adventures, rebellions, and general unruliness rivalled those of the swashbuckling heroes he portrayed. Flynn was married three times and cheated on all of his wives. His first wife, French actress Lily Damita, said, 'You never know when he's telling the truth. He lies for the fun of it.' His life was one of cheerful excess. But, by his late forties, his hurricane-force existence had taken its toll, and he was a burned-out shell of his former, lively self. Flynn died of a heart attack at 50.

Your Twin will probably not be quite as bad, but all Gemini men have a gypsy moth's fatal attraction to a pretty face. Totally faithful Gems do exist, but are rarer than a shy Sagittarius. In fact, the word 'faithful' has a different meaning to a Gemini man. Think of Gemini Brigham Young, the Mormon founder of Salt Lake, who had 27 wives. I'm sure that, in his mind, Brother Brigham considered himself a devoted and faithful husband. In my mind, he was in Gemini paradise.

Yours will have five hobbies, four careers, and an assortment of friends that resemble a mini-United Nations. But, his intellectual prowess is limited to his ability to memorise the various versions of Trivial Pursuit and entertaining his friends by tearing you to pieces with his merciless, acerbic tongue. He lives to put down people, and will call you fat ass in public, or snap his fingers at you when his glass is empty. Cold-hearted and calculating, he is a blatant social climber and will propose on the first date if he smells money. As a husband, he is ambivalent. The only thing this guy's passionate about is being entertained.

If you think love means being together at least some of the time, sharing dinner, and watching TV, you had better find yourself a homey Cancer, or a quiet Virgo, and send this horny hound dog packing. Or you could look on the bright side. You may be hysterical and freaked out half the time, but you'll never be bored.

Cancer

'I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.' Hunter S Thompson (Born July 18)

The first thing you'll notice is his genuine, and adorable, smile. The Cancer man is sweet, chivalrous, and has a wonderfully off-beat sense of humour that can be downright loony. He is sentimental, sensual, and truly affectionate. He is a traditionalist who respects the proprieties of courtship, believes in family and forever, and he's absolutely the best snuggle-bunny in the universe.

You may see an ideal mate, but what you get is an ideal stalker. A male Crab's idea of devotion is bonding at the hip, so unless you are prepared to become his Siamese twin, run in the opposite direction as fast as possible. In bed he is tender, but so passive that you'll soon tire of always being on top.

His devotion is legendary. However, don't say 'I do' until you understand that this extends to every friend and relative he's ever had, especially mother. It's not above him to wait until the honeymoon to tell you she's coming to live with you as soon as you return.

He's subjective. His favourite game is 'Guess How I'm Feeling'. You will be expected to read his mind, sense his moods, and mend his fragile ego, all without benefit of knowing what has upset him. Don't worry. Everything upsets him. Forget to buy toothpaste, and he'll decide you don't love him anymore. Say you want a night out with the girls, and he'll expect divorce papers in the morning.

Taurus

'The great question - which I have not been able to answer - is 'What does a woman want?'
Sigmund Freud (Born May 6)

He's patient, prudent, and persevering, a tower of strength on whom you can lean. You'll fall for his shy charm and those big, sad eyes. He may remind you of a slow-talkin', slow-walkin' hero like Gary Cooper or Henry Fonda. His needs are simple: home and hearth, a good woman, and a nest egg for that rainy day. But before you start drooling, read on!

Taurus may offer old-shoe comfort, but what you're likely to get is an army-boot mentality. Hook up with the Bull and either do things his way, or do your thing alone. He won't mind your independence, if it benefits him in some way, and as long as dinner is ready when he appears. Don't expect to be showered with praise and lavish attention. But do expect to be cast in the role of the little woman. Of all the men in the universe, this one expects the 1950s textbook version. He will buy your clothes, pick your friends, and criticise your beliefs. He is judgmental and fixed in his ideas, attitudes, and prejudices. Nothing you can say or do will change him. You'll have the distinct feeling of being boiled alive slowly, just as the proverbial frog, and you will be right. Mr T invented the smothering relationship.

He is jealous, possessive, and obsessive. Piss him off and he'll hold a grudge. Unfortunately, it's not a silent one. He will snipe and pick and make nasty remarks until you want to bash in his head with the nearest blunt object.

Scorpio

'If only I had a little humility, I would be perfect.' Ted Turner (Born November 19)

Whether he is tall, dark, and handsome or short, blond, and chubby, a Scorpio man is idealistic, passionate, and loyal. He will mesmerise you with his candid, purposeful stare and capture your heart with his magnetic charm. He may be as cuddly as Sinbad, or as sexy as Leonardo DiCaprio; wear a white collar, a blue collar, or no collar at all; but here is the man who is impossible to resist. Think you've hit the jackpot? Think again, sweetheart.

Loving a male Scorpion is like falling for King Kong. Oh, he's sexy and, underneath that aloof exterior, surprisingly sensitive. Of course, that titbit of knowledge may not help when you are handed divorce papers because you said his best friend was a low-life slob. Other guys might sit down to discuss their feelings. Mr Intense will sit down and rip yours to shreds.

He is selfish. Never mind that you are married to him or in a serious relationship. The Scorpion's idea of commitment is showing up for dinner most of the time. His emotion switch is set at sub-zero, and he won't hesitate to be unfaithful until he's dead. However, contrary to popular belief, he is not sex-crazed. That trait belongs to cousin Aries. Scorpio is terrified of deep emotional dependence on just one person, so, in his usual ass-backward way, he screws around precisely to avoid intimacy.

A male Scorpion has two reasons for living. The first is power. The second is control. He would control fate if he could - and some try. He will usually be a good provider because his desire for power and control drives him to become successful in his chosen profession. But money is rarely his primary motivation. Financial gain is only a by-product of becoming Mr Big. His moods change faster than a Pisces flipping the remote, and he will test your love by demanding the devotion of a religious fanatic at a revival meeting. He's so jealous, possessive, and sarcastic that you will be tempted to poison his oatmeal. There's no handling a Scorpion. You either put up with him or run like hell.

Leo

'I make it up all different every time I'm asked.'
Andy Warhol (Born August 6)

A Leo male is warm-hearted, generous, and dignified. He's a genuine romantic you won't have to tempt twice to go for a moonlit stroll or to your favourite hideaway for the weekend. The Lion seeks a mate who is stable, family-oriented, and intelligent. His family adores him, he keeps his friends laughing, and he's always the centre of attention. In the office. In jail. At the beach. He's the centre of attention. Always.

His favourite game is Commander-in-Chief. A Leo will snap off orders with the crispness of a general ordering his troops and expect you to move at double time to wait on him hand and foot. He demands to be rewarded for coming home in the evening, and he demands your respect, whether he deserves it or not. Should he remember your birthday, nothing but a blatant display of fawning will satisfy his ego.

He rarely loses his temper as long as you call him 'master' while bowing in respect. Challenge his authority, and he will roar, kick the sofa, and issue a couple of ultimatums designed to strike fear in your heart. As soon as the scene is over, everything is forgotten. Be stupid enough to deliberately wound a Lion's pride or, worse, attack his dignity, and you'll soon feel like helpless prey being sized up for dinner.

If he's a quiet Lion, he'll be a benevolent dictator who wants you to hover over him constantly. He'll want you to rub his aching shoulders and tell him how fit, strong, and wonderful he is, no matter what his age or physical condition. He, on the other hand, will not hesitate to tell you that your hair is a mess, your ass is too big, and that you have the intelligence of a gnat. When you burst into tears, he will be genuinely shocked because, in his mind, he was only trying to give you the benefit of his wise counsel.
