Your pet says a lot about who you are. It may even be possible to predict your sign through the pet you own -- or who owns you! The beautiful woman escorting the well-groomed poodle could very well be a Libra. And the championship equestrian? Probably a Sagittarian. Let's see what astrology has to say about the kind of animal companion that works best for you.
Pets for Aries (March 21 to 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! More About Aries
Pets for Taurus (April 20 to 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. More About Taurus
Pets for Gemini (May 21 to 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. More About Gemini
Pets for Cancer (June 21 to 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. More About Cancer
Pets for Leo (July 23 to 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. More About Leo

Pets for Virgo (Aug. 23 to 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. More About Virgo
