PET STAR GUIDE FOR DECEMBER

Aries
(March 21 - April 20)
Key words for pre-Christmas cheers are: settle and stay calm. Working yourself into a frenzy around the base of the Christmas tree will only lead to entanglement of the embarrassing kind. But where are those home-made biscuits you expect each year? What minor disappointments will haunt you over the silly season will well and truly be forgotten as a life-changing travel adventure unfolds. Hang on to your collar and get set for an exciting 2007!

Taurus
(April 21 - May 21)
As well as rubbing moist nozzles beneath the mistletoe at every opportunity, you will be seeking out as many cuddly moments as possible with Venus in your charts. Your sexy strut or wobbly waddle will send sparks of passion into your furry fevered universe, yet your calm amorous confidence will be challenged by like-minded Don Juan’s competing for the block ‘idol’ tag. Woof away your worries and ignore hackle bearing types.

Gemini
(May 22 - June 21)
Just as you were enjoying a momentary lull in the lead up to what is normally a fun time for Gemini’s, the home ambience will awkwardly shift to an atmosphere of chaos. Whether its early guest arriving, stampeding children or last minute gift wrappings, every aspect in life seems to be taking precedence over you, so let your frustration out with a howl at the moon and seek out cuddle-giving Taureans until the New Year dawns – and the excitement begins!

Cancer
(June 22 - July 23)
The party theme will bypass crabs who are more concerned with health issues. Whether it’s old ache and pains, a worrisome tooth or a pesty paw problem, it will affect you enough to cramp your crab lifestyle. However, with Christmas comes a refreshing change which will continue into the New Year bringing with it new relationships and magical moments that will have you barking and meowing with joy.

Leo
(July 24 - August 23)
Lion’s like a dress up so don’t be surprised if you’re transformed into Santa Claus on Christmas Day. You’ll relish the squeal of excited children, helping them to rip open as many presents as possible without a care in the world so long as those morsels of ham find their way regularly into your jowls. In between the excitement you’ll sleep like a baby dreaming of a bright new year with… well, pretty much the same fun and games you had in 2006.

Virgo
(August 24 - September 23)
Those wonderful schedules that you appreciate so much – the walk at 5.30pm, the meal at 6.00pm, the cuddle and news program at 7.00pm – will be thrown out the window as the humans in the household rush about preparing for Christmas. Each day will feel like one big waiting challenge as you shift from paw to paw with a look of ‘what about me?’. But don’t despair, this is just a temporary phase – after the 21st your life will move back on track with a brighter future brimming with love and excitement to welcome in the New Year.

Libra
(September 24 - October 23)
This month, Libran pets should be aware of masked Machiavellians hiding behind picket fences and along garden paths waiting to pounce. Some of you may wish to take extra precautions by rolling in pet repelling scents like baby powder but steer clear of amorous attracting odours that often have the opposite affect on humans. Apart from these dangers, Christmas will bring fun with family gatherings and lots of treats. Where’s that day bed?

Scorpio
(October 24 - November 22)
Not being the holder of the purse strings can be a trifle annoying especially as your begging for a makeover this New Year. Your list of presents – black leather stud collar, cool motorbike cruising goggles, sun hat for sailing, and matching extra large bowls with catchy slogans such as ‘touch me and your dead meat’ – are all part of the new look for the new you in 2007. Investing in your image is important and you’ll be paws crossed until you get it. Lucky Scorp’s with a hot new knock out wardrobe will be the envy of the block. Hooowwwwllll…

Sagittarius
(November 23 - December 21)
Saggie’s will be looking over their shoulder as the past and 2006 disappears never to be seen again. Could this mean a whole new life is ahead? Of course! Adventure aplenty with a dash of drama is your motto in life and rarely do you need to dwell on the past. This is also a good time to make any minor adjustments to your image as romance will blossom between the fence palings, at the park, in the vet waiting room… but wait until 2007 before committing yourself to one furry friend.

Capricorn
(December 22 - January 20)
Old relationships will be at the forefront of your thoughts as Christmas looms. Past mates will miss you so the soft kind approach is required. Reach out your paw and nudge your bone into their territory for comfort. Meanwhile you’ll be kept busy with a social windfall, rubbing shoulders with an intoxicating crowd invigorating you to let go for the New Year with the all the glitz and glam you love. Perhaps a momentary vision of what’s to come in 2007?

Aquarius
(January 21 - February 19)
Could the end of 2006 possibly herald a move? Christmas will be full of surprises – some good and some bad – and you’ll be scratching at the surface out of curiosity and maybe a sprinkling of fear. However, keep your tail and head up as whatever change is in store it’s for the very best. Just think… Bigger yard, more trees, greener grass… Whooppeee!

Pisces
(February 20 - March 20)
As pets around you are coping with the Christmas rush, Pisces pets will be in a world of their own dwelling on their ‘Life Plan’. Perhaps there were too many upsets in 2006 that weren’t thoroughly investigated or resolved, or perhaps there’s a cringe factor about a certain moggie across the road who hasn’t quite got the hint. It’s time to shift into a more pro-active mode with every ambitious bone in your body (and in the yard), so that 2007 is the ultimate kick-start to the new you.
