Even though Capricorn pets are usually very responsible, this month they will need to have a job of their own in order to feel like a valued member of the family. Provide one for them by teaching your dog to fetch the newspaper. Although cat’s do not generally have ‘jobs’, you should lavish praise on your kitty whenever you catch her grooming another member of the family.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

October welcomes Neptune into your pet’s sign, which results in your pet acting a bit spacey this month. Do not worry if your cat starts to dreamily stare at your parrot in its cage or if your dog freaks out about the fake skeletons that you are hanging up around the house in celebration of Halloween, it’s just that their natural instincts have deserted them for a while. Keep this in mind and try to avoid any situation in which your pet may face danger.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

This month it is best to help your Pisces pet stick to a daily regimen. This will help to reduce any stress that they may have due to the Halloween festivities going on both in your house and out on the street.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries pets will be the center of attention this month. Let them! Just don’t let them take it too far! Allow your pet to show their tricks to your visitors and reward them with treats. However, they will also be extra sensitive this month, so be careful not to overburden your pet with your own worries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

After being somewhat submissive during the beginning of October, your Leo pet will soon turn back into a roaring lion just in time for Halloween!

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Being their birthday month, it is fitting that Libra pets will have the urge to assert their dominance. However, your Libra pet will need to be gently reminded who the real pack leader is.
