Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra can't bear it when others are inconsiderate. Therefore, plan to borrow something secretly from this sign. Write a polite note saying you needed it, that you'll treat it with care and that you'll return it as soon as you're back from your vacation. Thank Libra profusely for their understanding, and then dash off an illegible signature, leaving Libra to wonder who made off with their favorite lamp, chair, or stapler.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac. If you suspect this sign of snooping where they shouldn't, place a folder marked CONFIDENTIAL in a prominent spot. Inside the folder, place a folded note that says, "Thanks for helping me organize my files, Scorpio. However, I'm going to need this folder tomorrow, so just leave it where it is." To ensure your trick works, pluck a hair from your head and place it inside the note. If the hair is missing when you open the folder, you know Scorpio fell into your trap!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Archers will do anything to get a laugh, because they can't bear it when life gets too serious. If you'd like to turn the tables on your favorite Sag, refuse to smile at their antics. Remain stony-faced when they purposely dribble food down their fronts, talk in weird accents, and perform dead-on impersonations. Then have someone tell a lame joke, and laugh hysterically.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Goats are famous for their social climbing skills. Sometimes, their snobbery can wear a little thin. If you'd like to get a rise out of Capricorn, embrace the lowest common denominator. Serve peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches for lunch. Quote Paris Hilton extensively. Cite Britney Spears and Kevin Federline as your fashion icons.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians take great pride in marching to the beat of their own drummer. The best way to tease these rebels is by conforming. Program all the channels on their car radio to the same Top Ten station. Refuse to read any books that haven't been recommended by Oprah. Suggest that they tone down their look in order to fit in.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisceans are incredibly sensitive and compassionate. Fish have been known to burst into tears at the sight of a sad-eyed puppy. If you'd like to poke gentle fun at this sign, arrange to have a friend tell a terrible sob story, then make crass and unfeeling comments. The gentle Pisces you know and love will turn into a raging spitfire!
