2. Aries (March 21-April 20) • Aries is ruled by Mars, the fiery red planet of energy and drive. In mythology, Mars was the god of war and aggression. Highly impatient and competitive, many Aries have the fighting spirit of your mythological ruler. You love to be a hero--or to be swept away by one. As the zodiac's first sign, you were born to be number one. You're a solo star who steals the spotlight and inspires everyone with your confidence. Yeah, you can be impatient, even a little bossy, especially when you don't get your way. As the "baby" of the zodiac, you need lots of attention, and can throw quite the tantrum when you don't get it. Fortunately, you rarely have a problem turning heads.

4. Taurus (April 20-May 20) • Sensual Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Your sign loves great food, romance and beautiful things. Venus kicks your five senses into high gear, so you are are happiest when surrounded by the best of everything. Satin sheets, gourmet dinners, a glass of red wine, and boom...you're relaxing into one of your famous, 14-hour naps. Not that you don't work hard, too. Like a bull, Taurus operates at two speeds: either totally relaxed, or charging headfirst towards a target. You prefer to keep the peace, but when you're pushed past your limit, watch out!

6. Gemini (May 21-June 20) The Gemini mind (and mouth!) is a busy machine, always moving at warp speed. That's because your sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Mercury also rules technology and the mind, making Gemini one of the most curious and cutting-edge signs of the zodiac. If two is double the fun, then as the sign of the twins, you know it's true! There are at least two personalities inside of you at all times.

Pay attention to your dreams, especially near a Full Moon. You are sensitive and loyal, with a ready shoulder to cry on. Cancer loves to get domestic, serving your friends and family home-baked goodies and tea. When you get moody, you need to be comforted, or else just left alone.

10. Leo (July 23-August 22) • The Sun is the center of our solar system and the ruler of Leo. When the whole universe revolves around you, it's hard to be humble! Like the Sun, Leo heats everything up with its dazzling drama. And when the Sun sets, it's ice, ice baby. That's why friends of Leo know to keep them happy and shining...or else. Leo is the sign of drama, and oh, can you put on a show! Even the Leos who pretend to be shy come to life in the spotlight. A natural-born leader, you love to be the boss.

Lovely Libra knows how to charm but behind your dimples and sweet personality, you're a fighter. Libra is the sign of the scales, and you can't stand anything that's unfair or unbalanced. You love a designer outfit as much as you adore a good debate.

16. Scorpio (October 23-November 22) • Intense Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, planet of power and control. Pluto is a tiny powerhouse, and a bit of a mystery; in mythology Pluto was the god of the underworld. Many Scorpios are also drawn to "dark" things, and often wear the color black, or a shocking tone like red or hot pink. Like Pluto, Scorpio's power often emanates from a hidden source, even when you don't say a word.

17. Symbol: The Scorpion • Element: Water • Ruling Planet: Pluto -- the planet of power and regeneration • Favorite Things: Underground music, spicy food, an air of danger, one-of-a-kind objects, wireless devices, organic ingredients

18. Sagittarius (November 23-December 21) • Cheerful Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is the "happy" planet, full of energy and confidence. Sagittarians often reflect Jupiter's larger-than-life persona. As the zodiac's traveler, Sagittarius is the ultimate free spirit: optimistic, open-minded and ambitious. You're happiest in wide-open spaces with plenty of adventure and excitement. You juggle a million projects, hobbies and friends.

19. Symbol: The Archer or Centaur • Element: Fire • Ruling Planet: Jupiter -- the planet of luck and expansion

20. Capricorn (December 22-January 19) • Serious Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of tough lessons and wisdom. As a result, many Capricorns are "old souls" who play by the rules and follow tradition. Accustomed to regular butt-kickings from Saturn, you often see life as an uphill battle, with the ultimate reward arriving only through suffering and sacrifice.

21. Aquarius (January 20-February 18) • Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and chances are, you've got plenty of pals. Although you may look like the boy/girl next door, you love to be around unusual people and ideas. You know how to step back and find the perfect solution to any problem. And you can make friends with almost anyone! Aquarius rules surprises and originality, and you love to shock people. Just when they think they've got you figured out, you change the game. Practical jokes are your specialty. People love to be around you, because you're so accepting and fun.

22. Pisces (February 19-March 20) • Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. A part of you is always trying to "swim away" or escape reality. The other part is so intuitive that you get swept up in everything going on. Your imagination is the perfect hideout when you want to escape, since Pisces is so creative. You love dancing (Pisces rules the feet), movies, poetry, and music. Your moods are mysterious and your dreams are intense. Every Pisces should have a journal by your bed, since some your best ideas will come in your sleep.
