Posted on 06/08/2013 I by: Suruchi

Choosing a new pet is an exciting experience, but don't just walk into the pet store and pick one at random! Your zodiac sign is a great place to find your match. Our signs impart unique qualities and characteristics that shape our personalities and preferences.Find your Sun sign to reveal the type of animal that might make your personal best friend.

Aries
Someone born under the Aries sign is usually very active and independent. An Aries has lots of energy, but can get bored quickly. The perfect pet for this sign is a dog. Not just any dog, but one that's spry and lively enough to match your intensity. You want a dog that you can take on your morning run and that will be ready and wagging its tail when you come home at night. Aries also tend to enjoy birds.

Taurus
Those born under the Taurus sign tend to be laid-back, dependable, and a bit stubborn. A Taurus is perfectly content just sitting around at home for a nice, relaxing evening. A lazy cat is the perfect pet for this type of person. A warm and fuzzy companion will satisfy that need, which means rabbits and dogs are suitable substitutes.

Gemini
A Gemini tends to be impulsive, witty, and a bit restless, which means they appreciate freedom and thrive on change. The Gemini's constant need to chat makes a parrot the perfect pet. These intelligent birds can be taught to talk and do tricks, which should keep a Gemini entertained. A monkey can also make a good pet for this sign.

Cancer
Those born under the Cancer sign can be a bit sensitive and moody, but they're also caring and loyal. This type of person needs a tiny fuzzy animal that they can hold in their hands, like a hamster. A Cancer will also fall in love with similar animals, such as mice and guinea pigs.

Leo
While the obvious pet for a Leo is a cat, there's another pet that fits this type of person even better. A Leo is confident and ambitious, but also a bit vain. A regal and distinguished animal fits this personality, which make a horse the perfect pet. Unfortunately, most people can't afford to buy a horse, so Leos might have to settle for a feline friend.

Virgo

People who are a Virgo tend to be helpful and observant, but also can be a bit fussy. This type of person doesn't like to deal with animals that misbehave or make big messes, which rules out most pets. This makes a fish the best possible pet for a Virgo, as it requires only minimal care.

Libra
Those born under the Libra sign have peaceful and hospitable personalities, but they can be a bit superficial. They love company and tend to get along well with everyone. Most of all, a Libra wants a pet that looks good and won't frighten visitors. A purebred cat works best, such as the Main Coon or Russian Blue breeds.

Scorpio
Scorpios have unique and even extreme personalities, which makes an exotic animal the perfect pet. This type of person is passionate and dynamic, but also tends to be a loner. The Scorpio's independent nature makes those loveable, cuddly pets a bad fit. Scaly and slimy things fascinate the Scorpio, which makes a snake or frog the perfect pet.

Sagittarius
A Sagittarius loves to travel and appreciates freedom above all else. This type of person typically doesn't enjoy pets, but something that's low maintenance is acceptable. Fish are always a good choice for the Sagittarius, but an unexpectedly awesome pet for this type of person is the tortoise. As long as you give it a nice, large fenced-in area, this animal can almost completely take care of itself.

Capricorn
Those under the sign of Capricorn are responsible and patient people, which means that they can handle more difficult pets. These animals are a little finnicky, but they are some of the coolest pets if treated well. The ferret or the sugar glider are good choices for the Capricorn, but they do require a lot of care and attention. Some Capricorns prefer dogs.

Aquarius
The Aquarius is very clever and tends to have a sarcastic brand of humor. This type of person probably won't enjoy having a pet at first, but they'll quickly warm up to the idea. An Aquarius prefers the company of birds, specifically canaries and cockatiels. Something along the line of a gecko or chameleon might be interesting too.

Pisces
Pisces is the final sign in the Zodiac calendar, and those born during this time are compassionate and devoted. They also tend to be a bit oversensitive, though. While the Pisces is the sign of the fish, that doesn't make it the ideal pet. A Pisces wants to care for and cuddle with a cute and loveable animal. A cat or dog fits well, but an even better match is the guinea pig. This simple little animal craves attention!
