When it comes to shoes, you need to go a little crazy now and then. Wearing something sexy and fun on your feet gives you a lift, often literally. Beyond the basics -- cross-trainers, flip-flops, loafers and office pumps -- lies the seductive realm of stiletto heeled sandals, strappy platforms, pointy-toed mules and jeweled ballerina flats. Even sneakers have gone a bit wild lately. But the round-toed, kitten-heeled Mary Janes that flatter a playful Gemini might look silly on a more conservative Capricorn. And, the sexy stilettos that make a club-hopping Pisces swoon could be sheer misery for a comfort-loving Cancer. Here are some suggestions for satisfying your shoe fix:
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
If you can't run to the corner store or dance all night in them, they probably aren't for you. For sex appeal in flats, try a gold metallic toe-ring sandal, paired with shorts or a mini skirt. Or, to keep your youthful spirit alive, patent leather Mary Janes or slides with a pleated skirt or Capris. The latest pink-and-purple suede slip-on sneakers or lace-up espadrilles with three-inch wedge heels will really make you feel like kickin' it.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
You look at shoes with a practical eye. Are they well made? Versatile? Invest in something beautiful that does double duty, like stylish, thinner-heeled mules that look equally good with long trousers and shorter skirts -- if you have the legs for it. Or, an elegant black suede shoe with tapered toe and stacked heel that can go from work to evening. Sling-back platforms with chunky hardware details would also suit you well.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
You'll opt for trendy over practical any day. The latest four-inch platform sandals with loads of skimpy straps across the foot and ankle, which work with everything from skirts to jeans, would tickle your fancy. So would metallic mules with dainty kitten heels or ballerina flats with embellished satin designs -- which look terrific with cropped pants. Madras plaid wedge-heeled thong espadrilles are also a good option.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Your changeable lunar nature loves the latest trends, but you'll also wear your old favorites until they fall apart. So, invest in classics you'll wear forever -- like a low-heeled, pointy-toed suede lace-up boot shoe, or a strappy black sandal with medium-high heel and padded soles to keep you comfortable. Then, you can spice things up with an inexpensive, trendy style like foam-soled platforms with rhinestone-studded straps.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
You like to show off a bit. How about some turquoise mules with four-inch heels and gemstone heart embellishments to wear with your sexiest jeans? Or, a hot pair of Carmen Miranda-inspired red suede platform sandals with peep-toes and ankle straps, just made for your flouncy, tiered skirt and crop top? The latest silver or bronze metallic leather espadrilles with three-inch rope heels would also complement your elegant style.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You don't like to get too fussy, since you're usually takin' care of business. But sliding on a pair of comfortable yet fashionable shoes such as mules, clogs or Mary Janes will make you feel stylish, and therefore ready for whatever the day may bring. A sexy pair of kitten-heeled thongs ornamented with wood designs or sling-back, pointy-toed patent leather flats will add a sophisticated touch to jeans, Capri pants or skirts.
