GaneshaSpeaks.com | 3
Pandit, started the web-portal with a few trusted aides by his side, somehard-earned capital and a small ofce, there was nothing much to writehome about.

But, by the grace of God and thanks to the constant hard (andsmart) work, GaneshaSpeaks.com is now a market leader in its feld.
The aim and vision from the day one was to streamline a scatered,directon-less Astrology market. A wide gap existed between the seriouscustomer and a genuine astrologer. And, that is what GaneshaSpeaks.comaimed to fll. E-space and telecommunicatons seemed the most viable andprogressive media to take the frst giant step aimed at bringing somestructure and professionalism - to this largely unstructured market. It madesense, because people from all over the world could connect with eachother and their preferred astrologers and astrology services, via thewonders of technology.
Today, GaneshaSpeaks.com is the Number One Astrology services providerin India. It is also the Number Three Astrology portal in the world. Given itsreliable, top-of-the-line content and services and a strong team of over 400astrologers, there's no wonder that the web-portal now receives over 35lakhs or 3.5 million visitors every month. Its latest web-interface and novelconcepts have even caught the eye of many a sceptc!
Already successful in making its presence felt on various platorms,including mobile telephony, SMS, WAP, online services, personalconsultancy, GaneshaSpeaks.com leaves no stone unturned in making itsservices accessible to its patrons. Its exclusive Astrology consultatontelephone short code 55181, now quite popular, is used to provide voice-based personalised astrology services, and is available with almost allcellular operators across India.

No wonder that astrological predictons and analyses by GS bearan accuracy rate of over 85% to 90%. The Team's achievements in predictngevents correctly in almost all areas of public, natonal and internatonalinterest are too many to be put in words here. However, it would be best toreiterate that it is their constant endeavour to keep bringing thesepredictons, analyses and deductons via their Predictons Secton on thewebsite or channel partnerships or through their specifc products/serviceslike Fortune Mantra (meant for stock markets' predictons).

ForewordWelcome to the intriguing and bewitching world of Astrology, the powerful,predictve subject that has caught atenton of many a non-believer acrossthe world, for ages.
Unearthing the hidden knowledge of self, the world and the universe hasbeen an eternal quest of human beings. The curiosity to know what thefuture beholds, and the undying urge to be able to capture the future hasalways been a driving force behind the evoluton, innovaton, inventon, thestruggle for existence and overall human development.
Probably that's why we have always been scampering to get a slice of future,and thence, the eternal popularity of astrology and other predictvesubjects. If nothing else, this knowledge makes us feel 'in-control'! Astrology
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 7
is one of the keys to this knowledge of the self and of the future. Howsuccessful or unsuccessful it tends to be is a diferent debate, altogether.But, going by the huge number of its followers and believers, astrologysurely looks a potent area.
For years altogether, planetary movements and interactons of variousheavenly bodies have fascinated the best of the minds. And, this very studyof the celestal bodies the Sun, the Moon and the planets and theirpositons in relaton to the human life and afairs has come to be known asastrology. The science or, as sceptcs would call it, the subject of astrology isas vast as the Universe itself. The permutatons, combinatons, integratonand many other principles of Mathematcs have been employed to study,understand and decipher the fundamentals of astrology.
Usually an astrologer will draw up a horoscope of a person with the help ofhis/her birth data date, tme and place of birth and then sync it with thepositons of the celestal bodies at that tme to determine the fate andfuture of the person, his personal qualites, his natural gifs, and almostevery aspect of his life, short-term or long-term prospects of his educaton,health, love life, fnances etc.
There are various systems and ways in which astrology has been practsedand understood. However, two major and most accepted systems ofastrology followed across the world are Eastern Astrology System (beterknown as Indian or Vedic astrology) and Western Astrology System. Alsocalled as the Niryana (Indian/ Eastern) system and Sayana (Western) systemof Astrology, both of these are reliable and relevant in their own ways. But,they have basic diferences in the way calculatons are made andinterpreted. Western astrology is more popular and thus, has more amountof published literature.
Broadly speaking, the Western or Sayana Astrology founds its basicprinciples on the Solar Horoscope and hence, the Sun Signs (largely based onone's Date of Birth). On the other hand, the Eastern/ Vedic Astrology isbased largely on the Moon Signs. Owing to the popularity of Westernastrology and ease of identfying Sun Signs due to birth dates, the commonman has a beter understanding of these aspects hence, the popularity ofthe Sun Signs.
Although, a person's individual Natal Chart and other planetary aspects(current and past) are required to accurately predict about his/ her futureand personality, the Sun-Signs do give a fair, albeit general, indicaton. A lothas already been said and writen on the twelve Zodiac Signs Sun-Signs,and the way they infuence an individual's personality, characteristc featuresand other areas of life. This book, however, aims to bring you a slightlydiferent perspectve. There is something for everyone in this book for theavid news bufs and the crazy sports bufs, not to menton the zodiac junkie!
Your Zodiac Horoscopes 2015 by GaneshaSpeaks.com atempts to frstdecode each Sun Sign in a manner that is going to make you sit back andtake notce be it the general nuances or how Zodiac Signs behave when in

love or distress or when faced by design choices. This is what gives this book atmeless appeal. The importance of predictons for a coming year may waneas the tme elapses, but this detailed, step-wise and 'diferently' classifedknowledge about each Zodiac Sign will always come handy. This aspectmakes this book an invaluable and extremely handy reference.
As you begin reading the book, you will come across special and interestngfeatures on Sun Sign preferences and sensibilites. The 'Sun-Sign in anutshell' feature is meant to give you a fair idea of the most importantaspects related to each Sign be it the best day, lucky gemstone or the bestpartner!
As you move ahead and reach the Predictons secton, you will come acrossclear, concise and detailed predictons for the year 2015 for each Sun Sign.The predictons have been arrived at afer a metculous analysis of theplanetary alignments in store in the year 2015 vis-a-vis each Zodiac Sign.
All atempts have been made to keep the predictons lucid and concise. Foreach Sign, you will get yearly, in-depth month-by-month and week-by-weekforecasts.

All in all, Your Zodiac Horoscopes 2015 by GaneshaSpeaks.com has beenwriten and compiled with an aim to enhance the happiness and satsfactonquotent of your life. As already pointed above, it can be used as a generalguide to understand yourself and people around you beter, and hence dealwith them more efectvely.

Ganeshawishes you luck, and hopes that you will utlise this book, His gif to you, tothe fullest, and in the best possible manner.
Author's NoteAll the Zodiac Sign descriptons and predictons (barring the artcles) carriedin this book are based on the Sun Signs and the Western methodology ofAstrology. Plus, they have been writen and compiled keeping in mind anaverage reader, who may or may not be familiar with the subject ofAstrology in general, and Zodiac Signs in partcular. Hence, we have tried tokeep the implicatons and deductons general, universally applicable andinterestng. And, have deliberately avoided loaded, text-book terms andextremely specifc nuances.
Beside the Sun Sign - the Ascendant, the Moon Sign and other planetaryrulers exert a signifcant amount of infuence on an individual, and play avital role in shaping his future and life. An individual is ofen a sum total of
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 9
all these (and more), and although Sun Signs do make a great contributon,they are duly assisted and infuenced (even dominated) by other aspects.The Sun Sign descriptons and predictons, thus, given in the book YourZodiac Horoscopes 2015 are largely general in nature. They do not take intoconsideraton Astrology's other specifcs.
Let's understand this beter with an example. Our editor here is a typical,slightly awkward Capricorn (Sun Sign), and when she earnestly claims thatshe has not ever donned a pair of pointy stletos, nobody does a double-take. In fact, they are ever so slightly amused on seeing her clumsy gait evenin the kiten heels (heels are impractcal!). However, when the next momentshe splurges on a silly pair of intricate earrings, people are fabbergasted.Whatever happened to her Capricorn staidness and practcality? The answerlies in her Libra moon! Her dominant Sun Sign traits get mitgated by herMoon Sign traits; she can hardly contain herself, when confronted by beauty(a marked Libra infuence).
While reading your favoured Zodiac Sign predictons, please bear in mindthat although Sun Signs have helped us create a near-perfect predictons forthe year 2015, there is always a possibility of discrepancies in the fnalresults. Besides, for all practcal purposes, not all individual nuances can becovered within the scope of a book. Keep these important points in mind, asyou go about enjoying this, otherwise vastly useful, book, and you shall seehow, subtly yet powerfully, these insights improve your life and its variousaspects.
Also, again for practcal purposes, we have, at diferent contexts in thebook, used the alternate symbolic names of the Zodiac Signs in this book.The Ram stands for Aries, the Bull for Taurus, the Twins for Gemini, theCrab for Cancer, the Lion for Leo, the Virgin for Virgo, the Scales for Libra,the Archer for Sagitarius, the Goat for Capricorn, the Water Bearer forAquarius and the Fish for Pisces (with the excepton of Scorpio). In no way,do we intend any ofence on the people of any Zodiac Sign by employingthese names.
Lastly, please note that the Zodiac Sign pointers and Yearly predictonsgiven here are in NO way a substtute to your personal discreton OR aprofessionally done Natal Chart (Personal Horoscope) reading.
Live and let live!

The Zodiac MysteriesThe Sun is the largest celestal body in our solar system. As per
Astrology, the Sun signifes the Soul. No wonder it holds a place of
pride, when it comes to understanding and interpretng a birth chart in
astrology. Of course, other vital planets and their positoning in a
Horoscope decide the course of one's life. But, the importance of Sun
cannot be over-emphasised. Western Astrology lays a plenty of
emphasis on employing Sun's positoning and its relaton with other
planets in determining one's characteristc traits, features and even
future trends. Sun is said to exert a major infuence on one's personality
and personal life, and also determines one's choices and preferences.
Based on the entre Zodiac, there are a total of 12 Sun Signs, also
referred to as Star Signs in myriad literature. They are based on one's
Date of Birth, and take into account the aforementoned fact that the
Sun is indicatve of, to a great degree, one's personal qualites, tastes,
preferences and choices. Although a division of qualites based on Sun
Signs is seen as too broad by many, it stll gives a fair view/ idea of the
likes, dislikes and lucky charms of people of a partcular set.
Now, each Sun Sign may have any of the three main qualites Cardinal,
Fixed or Mutable - four Sun Signs fall under each quality. Some of each
Sun Sign's inherent traits may also be traced to these umbrella qualites.
Cardinal Signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. These Signs are
seen as actve, enterprising and innovatve. Noted for their leadership
qualites, these Signs are NOT necessarily dominant and overpowering.
People of these Signs would rather make their presence felt with calm
authority.
Ofen referred to as the organizers of the Zodiac, the Signs that fall
under the Fixed quality are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Quite
resistant to change, people under these Signs tend to be stubborn,
intense, steadfast and fercely loyal. Freedom loving, they usually turn
detached and reclusive (usually with the excepton of the gregarious
Leo), when their personal space is invaded.
The four Mutable Signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagitarius and Pisces. All
the four mutable ones tend to be excellent communicators, and are
seen as versatle and adaptable. Networking and inter-personal skills
may safely be called as their forte. The natves of these four Signs tend
to be somewhat self-absorbed.
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 13
The Zodiac Elements and Colour
Palete Elements
The popular astrology takes into account four elements Fire, Air,
Water and Earth. All the 12 Sun Signs can be classifed under these
elements such that there are three Sun Signs under each head -
The Fire Signs Aries, Leo, Sagitarius
The Earth Signs Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
The Air Signs Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Water Signs Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Astrology and Colour
Colours are important to us, and they do have an impact on us. They fll
the otherwise mundane life with excitement, zaniness and beauty.
Colours are said to have a marked efect on our sensibilites, feelings,
moods etc. That is why there is a noted alternatve therapy called as
Colour Therapy. Surround yourself with compatble colours, and see the
diference yourself.
Various tones, moods, qualites and feelings can be associated with
colours or colour groups like Reds are warm, Blues are cool while
Greens are said to induce restulness, and white is said to augur clarity
of thought.
When it comes to the connecton between colours and astrology,
diferent colours have been associated since tmes immemorial with
various Zodiac Signs. The connecton is largely made based on the
elements and qualites linked with the Zodiac Signs, and also on the
personality traits associated with these signs, elements and qualites.
One can choose the colours and colour mixes based on their Zodiac,
their element and/ or their complementary nature. Elements which
naturally foster each other are said to be complementary in terms of
colour palete too. So, you will see that the colours associated with the
Earth Signs and the colours associated with the Water Signs will be
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 14
related, and same goes for the Fire colours and the Air colours, which
are said to enliven each other.
Now, using or bringing in a compatble colour scheme at all tmes can
be tricky, especially if you feel stuck due to professional or conventonal
reasons, and cannot suddenly introduce an eclectc colour scheme into
your life. Firstly, note that surrounding yourself with a good, compatble
colour is important, if you are looking to beneft from the therapeutc
and astrological propertes of colour. But, how you do it is best lef to
you only, which means that it could be done in any which way you fnd
suitable. Add colour to your surroundings with the aids of home dcor,
paint on the walls, paintngs, fower arrangements, aquarium or simply
with clothes, accessories or colourful additons at your workplace desk.
The Fire Signs
The three Zodiac Signs that subscribe to the element Fire are Aries, Leo
and Sagitarius. Actve, enthusiastc individuals of this group tend to be
quite assertve and vigorous. The people under this group, in these
three Signs are not the ones to be easily deterred by the blows of life.
Always striving to rise above the mundane and swim upstream, these
Zodiac Signs are the initators, and don't hesitate in putng their
imaginaton to creatve reality. Fire Signs gel well the most with the
signs under the same group, yet they also tend to connect with the Air
Signs. Fire and Water do not make a good mix, and hence signs of these
two groups tend to not connect well. As far as the Earth Signs are
concerned, Fire Signs tend to have an average to decent amount of
tolerance for them.
Associated Colours
All Fire Signs can be most associated with the varied colours related to
the fre itself. So, be it faming reds, invitng tangerines or shades of
yellow, Fire Signs tend to relate to it all.
Aries
The Aries-born is a restless, actve and courageous individual, and thus
associates most with the brightest or rather deepest of the colours in
the Red family. So, all kinds of reds - crimson, scarlet, brick-red, tomato
red, vermilion and even pillar-box red work for them. Aries is also the
ruler of these colours.
Leo
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 15
Sun is the ruler of mighty lions, the Leos the intmidatng leaders of
the Zodiac, or so they would like to believe! Hence, the colours most
associated with the Lions are sunlight colours yellows in all shades
and hues, orange, tangerine, gold, burnished golden, bright yellow of
daisies and sunshine.
Sagitarius
The Archer as a Zodiac Sign is ruled by the largest planet Jupiter the
planet of deep, profound thought, analysis and knowledge. Thus the
colours associated are the colours of Jupiter deep yellows, mustard
yellow, greenish yellows, and even indigo, deep blue etc. Darker shades
of red like maroon etc. are also associated, and even the colours that
are formed by combining reds with the tnges of blue and yellow
purples, violets, aubergine etc.
The Earth Signs
Cautous, practcal and methodical in their approach and attude, Earth
Signs represent the ground reality in the Zodiac. Down-to-earth with a
conservatve perspectve and a subtle, ofen subdued taste, the Earth
Signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn - tend to be the fag bearers of
everything that's stable, earthy and realistc. Their understated
preferences and high regard for quality, durability and relevance are
mirrored in the way they carry themselves. Ofen the ones to be the
most well turned out amongst a crowd, Earth Signs value their pre-set
goals, materialism and wealth, and have a genuine respect for people
who manage to carve a niche for themselves. Impulsiveness doesn't
come naturally, even though it's desirable that they let themselves go,
at tmes doing something rash, fun or colourful, just once in a while,
won't hurt them!
Associated Colours
The colours of nature and earth tend to be the best for theses earthy
creatures. Practcal colours that have a mater-of-fact appeal work well,
and are best carried. However, this doesn't mean that these elegant
Signs can't carry of anything jazzy or psychedelic. It's actually good if
they become more experimental, and do something crazy once in a
while.
Yet, it's unlikely that Earth Signs will dress in a riot of colour from head
to toe. But, then slightly ofeat ones will match some zany colours
nicely with their favourite, subtle tones. Not that they go wrong usually
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 16
when it comes to the aesthetcs, anyway! Unsurprisingly, Earth Signs
tend to have a special preference for pastels and beige.
Water Signs make the best matches for the Earth ones, and the colours
associated with Water do well for the Earth ones too. Colours of Fire
and Air too may be connected to the colours of Earth.
Taurus
This Sign enjoys the broadest range of colours and a most eclectc,
although subtle, palete thanks to its ruling planet Venus. The planet of
beauty, aesthetcs and atracton bears a special connecton with colour
in all its forms, and so Taurus too ends up enjoying it. Most pastel
colours, pale hues and foral tones work well for the Bulls. So it's pale
blues, surf greens and rosy pinks all the way for these exotc ones. In
short an idyllic blend of all elements - colours of Fire, Water and Air in
their exotc best - works wonders.
Virgo
Virgos move further into the spectrum inching towards the earth tones
of dull blues, greens and even yellows, muted beige, mushroom hues,
greys and fawn. Although all these colours suit Virgos, you will see them
experimentng with other colours too. The self-loving Virgins have a
great faith in their own self, which makes it easier for them to break out
of their practcal mould more than their counterpart Earth Signs.
Capricorn
Next in line is the zodiac's most dignifed yet retcent and conventonal
Sign Capricorn the upward moving Goat. They take the analogy of
earth and associated colours further into the spectrum. The colours
most suited to them are the deepest of the shades of earth jewel
tones in green, blue and brown, mud brown and beige, soot-grey, dark
grey and yes....black. The later ones are best associated thanks to
Capricorn's ruling planet Saturn. The take-away, though, for Goats is
that they will do best with these colours, but it will not hurt, if they
loosen up somewhat and add more tones from the palete of mother
earth an icy blue, an electric green and even a sandstone red won't
hurt!
The Air Signs
Cool, light and collected airy in short that's how one can broadly
describe the Air Signs Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. These are the ones
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 17
who mostly manage to keep a calm, ratonal and largely detached
approach in most emotonal of the situatons. Not the ones to usually
put up a show of their inner feelings and emotons, these signs are
actve, agile and communicatve. Intellectual actvites are stmulatng
for them, and choosing their colours too become something they deal
ratonally with. No wonder their design and colour choices bear a
cerebral perspectve. Air Signs gel well among each other, as each of
them is chaty, communicatve and likes to be with right people at the
right place and right tme too perfectonist, but, so what, it suits
them! They have an eye for expensive stuf and luxuries of life enchant
them. Earth and Water Signs generally fnd it difcult to associate with
Air Signs, as either will not be comfortable with the other in the long
run, despite a good start.
Associated Colours
Air is colourless and transparent to a great degree. The colours of sky
and translucent tones may also be atributed to air. Same goes for the
Air Signs the colours related to air apply for Air Signs too. So, it's hues
of sky, changing colours of horizon, whites all can be associated with
the Air Signs. Thumb rule is 'light' and 'cool'. Earthy tones and deep,
mysterious hues will not fnd favour here!
Libra
The balanced ones Libra fnd it easy to ratonalize during trickiest of
the life's issues. No wonder they opt for the most professional, coolest
and balanced of the hues. So, it's blues and shades all the way for this
Air Sign. Medium shades of blue, translucent greens and light, even
whitsh blues and pale pinks all are great. Although the Libra are born
with an inherent charm, garish colours are not carried well, and so says
the astrology. So, it's not Sagitarius's dark blue or Taurus's pale, pastel
one, but the mid-hue of blue that suits a Libra. Libra and Taurus
thanks to their shared ruling planet Venus, display similarity in this
respect.
Gemini
The ruling planet of Gemini, Mercury, is quite good an explanaton for
their mercurial temperament. Confused? Don't be or else forget
understanding a Gemini! There are extremes, and they like both of
them. Twins' design and colour choices refect the same. Their
associated colours stretch from the pale yellow of Mercury to the
transparent blues of sky. Colours of the Sun, varying colours of horizon
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 18
scatered pink of the twilight and dull grey interspersed with golden
and blue of dawn and aquamarine blue all fnd favour with the Twins.
Aquarius
Electric blue the brightest of the sky colour family fnds the place of
pride in a Water Bearer's life. The colour is a refecton of this Sign's
startling persona difcult to explain reactons even when pleasant,
unexpected responses and the overall mystery. Jade green, royal blue,
turquoise, deep surf blue fnd favour with Aquarius. And, so do deep
grey and black! There's a nice analogy that can describe an Aquarius'
taste in colours it's as changeable, unexplainable and myriad as the
changing shade of clouds and sky would be, if one moved towards the
outer limits of atmosphere, on the verge of entering the depths of
space!!
The Water Signs
The trio of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces form the Water Signs. All three
share their emotonal excesses and sensitvity, yet they are not the ones
to be bogged down by unpleasantness and fears. It's, in fact, pressure
and responsibilites, which psyche them out making them withdraw and
under-perform. Yet, all the three Signs can be credited for excellent
intuitve prowess and an internal strength that's seldom seen. No
wonder they tend to be the absorbers of negatvity and others' troubles
and fears. But, it's their strong emotonal responses, which can be quite
draining, and that is why these Signs need their private space and
seclusion to recharge their emotonal reserves. Don't nag a Watery Sign,
if he/ she is withdrawn! Their notable spirituality and perceptveness is
well known. Water Signs do well with the Signs of the Earth family, as
the earth tends to lend form and structure to water. Colours related to
the Earth Signs, thus, do well for the Water ones too. Fire and Air are
not compatble with Water while the Fire is absolutely incompatble,
Air may have inital pleasant moments, which don't last long.
Associated Colours
It goes without saying that colours related to the depths and mysteries
of nature in general and water in partcular associate well with the
Water Signs. So, it could be any colour ranging from blues and greens of
water to the burnished golds and deep reds of a sunset. Muted, pale
tones of earth brown may not suit their taste, but stark white, of-
whites and silver make their day.
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 19
Cancer
The most watery of the three Water Signs is Crab, and that is why they
bear the maximum afnity to the hues of water and, not surprisingly,
sea their home. Beach lovers, malleable and reclusive, they love the
marine colours, but it's the colours of Moon that fnd maximum
preference with them. That is because Moon is their ruler, and is also
the one that makes them gentle, confused and dreamy. The lightest
shades of blue surf blue, the blues of the ocean foam and the blue of
the morning sky gentle and polished work the best. Same applies to
the greens never the electric or gaudy shades, but the sea greens of
the pastel variety. And, what rules, obviously, is White and silver and a
few smoky colours associated with moon, full-moon and even no moon!
Scorpio
Scorpio is diferent than the two other Water Signs in more than one
way. The most mysterious Sign of the Zodiac is deeply associated with
the darkest and deepest shades be it reds, maroons, violets, browns,
golds - all thanks to Mars, the planet closely associated with Scorpio.
Pluto, the coldest and the farthest planet, the ruling planet of Scorpio
also bears its efects on their design and colour sensibilites. Hence, the
afnity towards dark! And then, there are the colours from the water
palete greens, blues and the likes but all in their darker hues.
Pisces
Pisces picks up from where the Scorpio stops! So, this dreamy, romantc
and submissive Signgets the hint of reds and violets from Scorpio, and
adjusts them to suit its sensibilites. Thus, it's fuchsia, mauves, lavender,
pale purples and pinks all hues of pink rather; it's the most feminine
and romantc colour afer all for Fish in the colour department. And,
then there are light, bright green, aquamarine and sea-blue, which suit
them quite well, and bring out their best features. Whites, creams,
peach and dreamy tones of various colours also atract the design
sensibilites of a Fish. All in all, a splash of colour, but all mixed and
coordinated to the aesthetc t.

Zodiac Signs in LoveAries : Vitality is the second name of this proverbial infant. Aries knows
how to celebrate life with his candour, optmism and love for adventure.
Probably that is why despite being the self-centred, self-absorbed,
impulsive babe, Aries is so lovable, and manages to win admirers with a
surprising ease. Love for them is a given, a necessity that has to be
fulflled. They demand it as if it is their birth-right. They will go to the
least probable places looking for love, especially if it catches their fancy.
When in Love, they tend to be very loving and mindful of their loved
one's needs and demands. Happiest to pamper with extravagant
gestures, they see love as an accomplishment. The babe in Aries secretly
craves a lot of babying, and yearns that all his desires be fulflled at the
frst instance. Aries need constant reassurances in love (though, they
usually are too egoistc and smug to accept!). A happy and satated in
love Aries is generous and cheerful. While, a neglected in love Aries shall
shout, cry and throw tantrums. Besides, an unhappy in love Aries may
develop a tendency to get bored with people too soon, may even
become a philanderer.
Taurus : The healthy, cherubic baby in Taurus is loved and admired by
many, and yet many are afraid of his stubborn tantrums and sudden,
unannounced grumpiness. The toddler-in-making understands and
appreciates the love and security net provided by his family, and lays
supreme importance on both, as he needs them for his sustenance and
happiness. Anything that brings the familiar comfort and warmth is
valued and clung on to by Taurus. Love for them is afecton in its primal,
physical, visible sensual sense. Love to a Taurus ought to be pleasurable
and available, when he needs it. And, he likes (and knows) to both give
and receive love. The deeper, more subliminal aspect of love may not be
understood by the Bull. Very steadfast and loyal, Taurus natves value
material comforts and security, and get drawn to people who have and
can provide for them. When in Love Bulls are devoted. Their
understanding and display of love, though, may lack depth or
tenderness. Traditonal and least change-oriented, their relatonships
too may mirror their personalites. Rejecton and betrayal are abhorred!
Gemini : The toddler in Gemini understands, appreciates and values his
autonomy and new-found independence. He can speak and express, and
is no longer dependent on others for fulflment. Communicaton is new
and very very enchantng! This is intoxicatng. Most Geminis love to talk.
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 21
And, manage to leave others smiten in the process. Love for them is
conformity that does bring happiness and pleasure, yet can be a
hindrance to complete, uninhibited freedom. In positve sense, love
becomes an enjoyable bond for Gemini. When negatvely viewed, it may
cause resentment, as the Twins may see love as restrictve. When in
Love, Gemini can be versatle, entertaining, inquisitve and stmulatng.
Their candid, amicable personalites make them great companions.
Spending hours simply chatng and interactng with their loved one is
always on their agenda. Geminis, however, are prone to bouts of
restlessness and recklessness. Impractcal, impatent and inconsistent
when under such spells, they may atempt to run away from love. Also
prone to the feelings of duality about love and relatonships one
moment craving the pleasure, amusement and warmth the love brings,
and the next moment resentng it with full force.
Cancer : The Crab craves change, yet is scared of it. Not an adult yet, the
adolescent hidden in Cancer is enchanted by the grown up, mature
world, while the security net of his family, the familiarity and safety of
his home stll tugs him back. The Crab deals with a plenty of emotons,
many of which are new to him, yet very real, very deep. He watches
others with an eerie percepton, and thence develops his famous
instnct, his intuiton. Love for them is the emotonal security net, a need
that is above all, and that, ideally, should come from a familiar corner of
their lives. This great need for love evokes in them a deep
sentmentality. When in Love, they love with all their senses, all their
might completely and irrevocably. They make gentle, sensitve, caring
and loving mates, ofen sensible and cautous. And, they need an equal
amount of, if not more, love, atenton and tenderness back from their
partner. Crabs can't handle hurts, though their silent anger is well-
known, and so is their tenacious shell. They need their quiet moments to
recharge and refuel their drained emotons.
Leo : The king Leo is regal, proud and confdent of the self, of the
ability and of his knowledge. Courageous, large-hearted and
compassionate, Lion is full of youthful enthusiasm and vigour, ofen the
proverbial performer. The symbol of idealistc young blood, the bright,
warming sunshine and the spring bloom, Leo loves gazing at himself,
admiring his handsome features, dogged drive, keen percepton,
surprising candour and admirable wit. Love for the Lion is romance
bright, frothy and beautful akin to the fairy tales. Lion loves the idea
of 'being in love'. This feeling for Leo may not always be about loving
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 22
someone else, but oneself and the whole world, at large. In love, the Leo
are supremely ardent, afectonate, loving and amorous. They love
pampering their loved ones with open displays of afecton and
magnanimous gestures. In return, they expect, rather demand, ample
doses of praises and thank-yous. On the fip side, although, Leos possess
all the qualites of a great life partner, they can be taxing as lovers.
Besides, given their vanity and social popularity, they may end up
neglectng their partners or drif towards multple relatonships.
Virgo : Conscientous, dutful perfectonists, Virgos are metculous and
prim with a compettve, survival instnct so marked that it dominates
their life and choices. No wonder that they are said to signify the realist
young adult donning the mantle of maturity and determinaton. Capable
of dissectng, de-constructng and analysing almost everything, Virgos
believe in submitng to the norm for the beneft of duty and practcality.
Love to them is a mystery to which they are ofen happy and content to
surrender. On the edge of awareness, yet not willing to know further,
Virgos may believe completely in what they see. Completely devoted to
their relatonships, they do keep their practcal antennae up, at all tmes.
Besides, their constantly working minds may not allow them to let their
hair down. When in Love, they are gentle, dutful and loyal. They love
taking care of their loved ones, creatng perfect havens and pampering
along the way. Dependence is abhorred, and so are sloth and
disorganisaton. Virgos' vigilant, fretng selves rarely miss anything.
Becoming overly critcal of partner's faws is a possibility with Virgos.
Jealousy and compettveness too may mar Virgos' relatonships.
Libra : Libra is capable of understanding and appreciatng myriad facets
of human existence and the world at large. Libra knows that the key lies
in moderaton, in fnding and internalising the fne art of balance.
Existence comes to assume a wider perspectve in the Libran world. Love
to them is, thus, harmony. Matng of minds that is balanced not
extreme in any way, leading to happy, pleasurable results. In Libra's
poised, symmetrical world, love is also a lot about beauty. These people
know when they have fallen in love, and like it to come with all the frills
atached -wine, roses, candles, pink hearts et al. However, they may
rarely get to know why. Getng drawn towards beauty, elegance,
money, success, fne things in life, lifestyle, they may forget/ fail to
appreciate their partner for what/ who he/ she is. When in Love, they
make for atractve, charming, tender, commited and interestng
partners. Objectve and fair, they may take their tme to say yes, but
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 23
once they have made up their minds, they seldom stage a walk-out.
Scorpio : Passionate, sorted, capable, mature, keenly intuitve, yet
insecure, restless and secretve, Scorpios are as mysterious as they
come. This emotonal and magnetc Water Sign signifes the mature
human being who already knows a plenty, yet is able to perceive that
there's a lot he stll hasnt seen. And thus, he desires to see and fnd it
all. Scorpio is fercely protectve of his own self, and of his loved ones.
Any hurt and Scorpio refexively stngs back revenge, instant and
complete is the name of the game in his raw, intense world. Defeats
motvate him, and hurts harden his resolve to bounce back. Love for
them is an all consuming desire for oneness that engulfs their lives, and
greatly afects their opinions. To them love is supreme, worthy of any
sacrifce, even when expressed and understood in a more physical,
carnal way. In love, Scorpio is potent, protectve, gentle and loyal. In the
beginning, though, they may play it cool. Passionate to the core, these
magnetc and powerful beings are sure to draw atenton and
appreciaton from myriad quarters.
Sagitarius : Restless, inquisitve and philosophical Sagitarius fnd it hard
to believe anything/ anyone at the frst go, and hence take tme to form
opinions. Born with a unique spirit of inquiry, they (with their
penetratng logic and curiosity) aim to unearth the mysteries. Candid as
they are, in their atempt to know and see, they may end up asking/
saying blunt, embarrassing or rude things. They can be optmistc yet
sceptcal, fanatc yet atheist, and tactless yet serious! Love to them is
true, eternal yet something that they may never see or feel, and thus
needs to be found, investgated, restored or retained, before it is lost
forever. No wonder, Archers are insecure, even though their insecurites
are carefully masked under the garb of garrulous, self-immersed, blunt
exteriors. Scared of reality (and even shocked beyond repair by it), they
seek refuge in idealism. Unable to look inwards, so socially tuned in they
are, they may fail to achieve true fulfllment. In love, Sagitarius are
cheerful, optmistc, communicatve and adventurous. They are their
happiest in a new relatonship, as there is so much to fnd, so much to
know and so much to see.
Capricorn : Hardened by experience, Capricorn is stable, steadfast,
responsible, driven and dependable. However tred or weary it may be,
the Goat is never scared of leading the way for others or taking a new
responsibility. Gifed with great personal strength, organizatonal skills
and a perfunctory sense of practcality, they believe in carrying on when
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 24
others have long stopped or discarded a task. Love to them is a mutually
satsfying exchange that brings the needed security, peace and
contentment. It may not be the idyllic, romantc, liberatng feeling as in
the movies, but is defnitely important. Capricorns' stern exterior and
Saturnine ways hide their gentle, tender side. Yet, they understand that
love means being able to forgive, and rise above the human faws. When
in love, they are dependable and caring. Not the ones to believe in
excess of emoton and display, however, they tend to be controlled,
measured, even cautous in their approach to love. They may even be
called selfsh and callous. But, let a Goat open up, and you may have a
very interestng partner beside you, who does have a sense of humour
(even if tnged with sarcasm and irony), and who is capable of
appreciatng fner things in life.
Aquarius : Novelty enchants Aquarius, and the modernity infuses life
into them. Aquarius frmly believe that they know and can infer. Liberal
to the point of being peculiar, even eccentric at tmes, yet so wise, they
are a mystery to many. Fixed in their own personal priorites, style and
opinions, they crave, propagate and encourage change. And, hence
comes the duality, which surprises other people. Love for them is cool,
impersonal yet unselfsh and enjoyable. To the humanitarians of the
zodiac, love is universal and ought to be selfess. In love, Aquarius is
communicatve, imaginatve, wity, candid and friendly. The mate of this
intelligent person will fnd great fun in spending tme with him, as an
Aquarius is always full of beans innovatve, bubbling with novel ideas
to do something diferent and unconventonal yet fun and cosy. Usually
loyal (especially when they have found the 'one'), and supportve of
independent partners, they themselves guard their independence
fercely. On the fip side, since many Water Bearers have their hands full,
their social calendars chock-a-block, they may get detached, absent-
minded and unmindful of their partner's needs. And, when confronted,
they may simply refuse to cooperate.
Pisces : Dreamy, romantc healers of the Zodiac, the Pisces are kindred
souls sympathetc and modest. Ofen quiet, slow and measured, the
proverbial 'old souls' seem to possess a deep understanding of life,
especially when seen from a distance. Ones who come across as
detached and passive, they may seem troubled to some and enchantng
to others. Some Pisces may want to abandon it all and leave, while
others may completely give in to the epicurean, hedonistc romantc
ideal. Love is a selfess emoton to them, a miracle that completes,
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 25
creates a 'whole', and requires entre submission of the self. In love,
Pisces are is nurturing, intuitve, selfess and compassionate, yet
frustratng at tmes. Rarely willing to explain his stance and quite fxed in
opinions and thoughts, they are capable of evoking a variety of feelings,
broad enough to cover the entre spectrum of extremes. They avoid,
rather shun, confrontaton and make submissive partners. In healthy
relatonships, they fower, blossom and are capable of ataining their
poetc, philosophic and creatve best. Wrong experiences, on the other
hand, may divert them towards the irrevocable routes of addictons,
alcoholism, promiscuity and wastng.

Zodiac Sign PreferencesKnow the preferences of various Zodiac Signs. Find out which one
makes the best shopping partner, and which one of them would make
the best gym-buddy! Also fnd about the preferences of various Zodiac
Signs' natves in terms of sports and health.
Aries: Initatng any actvity comes naturally to these initators of the
Zodiac, but the real challenge for them lies in sustaining interest in it.
Energy, initatve and enthusiasm are a given, but so are impatence and
wavering atenton, when it comes to Rams. An Aries loves to be
pronounced as a ftness freak, and will also love to indulge in myriad
sportng and physical exercise actvites. But, then, they may not really
be very consistent with these 'gym and playground' escapades. However,
given their natural ebullience, they tend to excel in sportng actvites,
especially running, sprints, cycling, biking and high-impact aerobics.
Their choice for auto-mobiles too mirrors their love for everything
contemporary, fast and challenging Aries love to ride a sports-bike or a
sports-car. And, whatever they choose to drive, one thing is sure - their
'mean-machine' has to be snazzy! Aries exhibit similar tastes, when it
comes to other things like clothes, accessories, jewels and footwear.
They will always point at the most in-style and chic jewellery and
apparels. So, it's a wise idea to take them as shopping companions
they won't be imposing, but will lend you excellent advice about latest
places to shop and trendiest stuf to buy. Have fun!
Taurus: Headstrong and stable Bulls are practcal beings, and thus
appreciate the importance of physical ftness and regular exercise. But,
then they may fnd it difcult to implement this understanding, given
their proclivity for many other actvites and pastmes. Thus, a Taurus
may fnd it hard to divide his/ her actvity or reading tme to get going on
a treadmill. However, when it comes to sports and fun actvites, they
more than make it up for any lack of physical exercise. They love to put
their endurance and stamina to test by indulging in actvites like rowing,
tug-of-war, canoeing, mountaineering, hiking, trekking, travelling the
world and gardening. On the sports front, basketball, volleyball, cricket,
golf, rugby rule for Bulls.
Materialistc Bulls like to frmly believe that their possessions, be it
mundane items like garments or their much-loved auto-mobiles, are the
best. They may not always be, though, yet Taurus won't prefer knowing
that. In the jewellery department, understated yet classy stuf rules, and
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 27
yes it will be expensive. Think diamonds and tmelessly chic pieces! If
going shopping, take along a Bull, if you are looking for something really
diferent. Their love for the 'eccentric' ofen makes them shop for stuf
that's truly class-apart. So, do take their advice when looking to stand
apart in a crowd.
Gemini: Wiggly and restless Geminis like sports and physical exercises,
but not as much as partying and socialising. Jogging, spinning, dancing
and fun-games top their list of ways to remain ft. However, most Twins
will manage to have good fun even in a gymnasium. And, that is not
because they love toiling on machines and weights, (they hate it rather)
but because they quickly fnd interestng gym-buddies with whom they
enjoy hanging out for a post-workout snack! When it comes to sports,
anything that is played in pairs catches their atenton, so it's badminton,
tennis, chess or billiards for them, all the way. Compettve sports and
group actvites too fnd favour with the gregarious Twins.
Ample socialising skills lend another excellent trait to Twins their
superior negotaton and bargaining skills. And, they are not the ones to
join the 'brandwagon'. No wonder, Geminis, especially women, make
brilliant shopping companions for budget or street shopping trips. Junk
jewellery and knick-knacks are not favoured items on their shopping list,
though. In fact, otherwise fun loving Geminis are absolutely
conventonal, practcal and utlitarian in the shopping department. So,
they will also not let you go over-board! Their non-fussy preference for
functonal and economical refects in their choice of vehicles too.
Cancer: Drive to match their sensitvity is what is needed by Cancers, if
they wish to achieve what they dream of! Chances of you fnding them
cribbing that their eforts are not showing desired results are high. Why?
Irregularity and lack of passion, maybe! However, give them a dedicated
gym-buddy, and see them making a beeline for their workout, even early
in the morning. An emotonal connect in form of a friend or a partner
can provide the necessary encouragement to propel the Crab towards
his/ her ftness goals. They can also be instantly lured by an outdoor
water sports expediton. Being water babies, Crabs love to indulge in
water polo, boat race, para-sailing, ice-hockey and skiing.
Most Cancers are not regular shoppers, but once they get into a mood
for it (temperamental Crabs are driven by their whims), nothing stops
them. Shopping is a liberatng experience for them. They just wish to
relish the experience when shopping. Shrewd beings, they, however,
manage to get the best value out of their expenditure. Non-intrusive,
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 28
excellent shopping partners, they will never remind you of how much
you are spending, though. They like to shop for precious jewellery, and
their collectbles resemble the treasures of the seas - pearls, precious
stones rule. Not given to outward appearances, a Crab may not worry
much about acquiring swanky cars or vehicles, though. Rather, they
would be more than happy driving their cherished old bike or car to
which they will be emotonally atached.
Leo: To channelise their vast energy and enthusiasm in the right way,
Lions prefer actvites that'll let them excel physically. Conventonal ways
of burning calories won't fnd much preference here, though. Thus,
contemporary and 'diferent' routnes like kick-boxing, aqua-aerobics,
ballroom dancing or hot yoga will suit more to their idea of getng and
remaining in shape. When it comes to sports, Lions again have
aristocratc tastes. Thus, they prefer amusing themselves with sports
atached to royalty. Hence, golf, yachtng, polo, horse-riding and car
racing suit well the Lions' idea of grand entertainment. Gambling and
visit to casinos are also distnct possibilites.
Unlike the former Zodiac Sign Cancer, the Lions are all for outward
appearances. Given to a certain pomposity, Leos like to make bold,
brazen style statements, and that applies to their choice of clothes,
vehicles and jewellery. If their pocket permits, the Lions will love to
become proud owners of a Lamborghini, a Rolls Royce, a Bentley or even
a custom-made version of a vintage car. You'll see them picking up a
chunky neck-piece, a gleaming solitaire or a beaded bracelet, rather than
a delicate pearl ring, when jewellery shopping. And, if they ask you to
join them for a shopping trip, go ahead you'll love the courteous
treatment and ebullient companionship. Reverse the situaton, and the
results may not be as exemplary, though!
Virgo: Loyal and sincere, Virgins are quite regular at sweatng it out.
Being one of the most ftness conscious zodiac signs, their idea of
staying ft includes aerobics, yoga, jogging or dancing. They are all about
the 'au natural' look and feel. Also, besides physically ftness, good
health is also about mental rejuvenaton for them. Thus, they show a
keen interest in games that provide them intellectual stmulaton, apart
from their of-favoured basketball and gymnastcs. You'll also see them
driven towards natural ways of remaining healthy, and that includes
eatng and sleeping well.
Perfectonists to the core, Virgos are metculous even when it comes to
shopping. Here, they exhibit a certain duality, though. On one hand, they
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 29
may simply pick up what they like without any prior planning, while on
the other hand they may look for a bag/ watch at fve diferent places,
before zeroing in on the 'One'. Appearances mater, but so does the
'value'. Virgins will buy jewellery only in two cases one, if it's a good
investment, and/ or second, if they really, really like it. No wonder, they
have a special preference for precious-metal jewellery and precious
stones. For imitaton pieces, they go for semi-precious stones, chunky,
psychedelic or ethnic look that'll make them stand out. As for the
vehicles, Virgins have a bizarre choice, especially if they can't aford an
expensive model they fancy. They will prefer to buy a remodelled version
than use a run-of-the-mill budget car/ bike.
Libra: Balance and poise these are the two mantras around which a
Libra's life and preferences revolve. They seek balance in all aspects of
their life, and health and physical ftness are no diferent. Meditaton,
yoga, other calming and balancing forms of exercise appeal to them. So,
it's not only about burning calories, but also about 'lifing spirits and
feeling great'. Unconventonal exercise forms like Tai Chi, Kalaripayatu
and Kendo shall fnd favour with a Libra. Relaxing/ unwinding and having
fun are vital to a Libra for overall ftness afer all it's all about balance.
When it comes to sports, they are highly fond of athletc-actvites that
would let them test and hone their balance. So, it's gymnastcs, spinning,
hurdle-races, handball, skateboarding or skatng for them, all the way.
Suave, stylish and ofen well-turned out Libra natves, surprisingly, do
not like to shop. A Libra male is most likely to despise his wife's/
girlfriends shopping expeditons. Female Libra, on the other hand, may
love to buy expensive and designer stuf, but more so for her intmate
relatons than her own self. However, you can consult them for tps on
latest fashion and trends, and they shall happily oblige. And, don't
forget, they love receiving classy gifs chic and delicate jewellery
included. Buying or wearing jewellery, otherwise, isn't a preference
here. Any jewellery bought by them is merely for investment purposes.
They carry the same attude, when it comes to their auto-mobiles. In
fact, they would rather have their vehicles passed on to them as a
legacy.
Scorpio: Intensely compettve and passionate in whatever they do,
Scorpio natves tend to look for the ways to enhance their physical
prowess and mental strength. Besides, anything that intrigues and
energizes them is also good enough to keep them going. Thus, when it's
about physical training, these aspects act as the guiding force. Vinayasa-
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 30
yoga, power-yoga, rock climbing or mult-gym actvites ft the bill
perfectly! In the sports department, intense athletc actvites or
marathon races, which test their endurance and stamina, are their idea
of fun and play. Scorpios are also, many a tmes, unbeatable at games
like chess, monopoly. These are the sports that not only require a
defnitve strategy, but also give them a chance to faunt their expertse.
And, if that's not all, the Scorpio may choose to zoom away in a powerful
bike or a tme-tested car at the end of the day to refresh himself/
herself. Their chosen vehicle will, however, have to be sturdy, reliable
and easy to maintain.
Atractve and ofen quite poised, Scorpios have a distnct and defnitve
taste in clothes. They have set choices, and don't like anyone giving
them any advice on it. The wardrobe of a Scorpio woman is usually very
tasteful, and may even be a cause of envy for many. Most Scorpios have
an exquisite choice in both clothes and accessories, and many of them
may be the proud owners of some of the fnest and rarest jewellery
pieces and/ or precious stones. Tried and tested brands rule, but not for
the sake of exclusivity, but because they guarantee longevity and trust.
No wonder, most Scorpio women worship shopping. However, many
men of this Sign are, more or less, indiferent to the shopping actvity.
However, they will readily pay the bill, without being grumpy or
inquisitve about your purchases. They may not be very appreciatve too!
Sagitarius: A powerhouse of energy, an Archer displays great strength
and stamina, and tends to take his/ her workout routne a tad too
seriously. They have the knack of getng down to the slightest of the
details, and will metculously plan each of their moves. Adventurous and
always ready to experiment, Archers, however, fail when they overdo
this very bit. They fourish the most in a compettve scenario where
they get ample chances to boast and make show of their abilites.
Adventure, team actvites, vigorous sports like squash, lawn-tennis,
swimming, horse-riding and even basket ball, baseball and hiking/
trekking suit their sensibilites best. If this does not sufce, they like to
hit the road to explore new destnatons in their posh set of hot-wheels
a Sports Utlity Vehicle, maybe!
If the 'best-dressed' Sun Sign award was to be declared, a Sagitarius
natve would win hands down! The Archers have a knack to pick up just
the 'right' objects at the 'right' tme. An Archer woman is considered to
be street-smart, as she would exactly know what to and from where to
buy, and that includes jewellery. Great at bargaining skills, she'll also
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 31
ofen manage to buy at the most reasonable rates. On the other hand,
Archer men are relatvely laid-back, and would rather be patent
onlookers, while you shop. Thus, all in all, it's not a bad idea to take
them as shopping companions, especially if their interests are as ardent
(for shopping) as yours.
Capricorn: No one appreciates the benefts and rewards of an exercise
and ftness program more than a dedicated Goat. Capable of frst
sweatng it out on a treadmill before heading for a tango/ jazz session,
Capricorn natves will be able to strike a balance between myriad means
to keep ft, given they gel with his/ her current set of responsibilites.
Weights, cardio, yoga, aerobics or walking in a nearby park - all may be
favoured they just have to fall in line with the Goat's busy work-
schedule. And if that's not all, they'll also manage to ft in a trekking
expediton, a soccer game or following some natural remedy, but only if
tme, or rather their work, permits. They also love playing compettve
feld sports that test their stamina and energy.
Practcal and prudent, Goats, ofen, don't fall in the category of
impulsive shoppers. Both male and female Goats are patent shopping
companions, and when in mood, they themselves don't mind spending
hours or even days (for bigger purchases) huntng for just the 'right'
thing. That's exactly what happens when it comes to bagging their 'mean
machine' - expect a Goat to create so much fuss that you'll be tred and
bored. But, the end result will be so spectacular that you'll be lef
jealous! However, on most other occasions, a Cappy is too caught up
with his/ her work to bother slotng a separate tme for shopping, so
shopping becomes an extension of day's work! In the jewellery
department, the emphasis is on the minimal. Their love for traditon
makes them go for tmelessly classic or ethnic pieces, and yet it's always
elegant.
Aquarius: Ironically stubborn yet pliable, Aquarius natves are, ofen,
careful about their appearance. They like to keep themselves toned and
agile, and that's quite possible given their natural charm and poise.
However, what they really need is some more discipline and dedicaton
towards their ftness goals. Add some mental/ intellectual stmulaton to
their ftness routne, and see them stcking to it like bees to honey!
Mental health is as important to them as physical well-being. So,
actvites like Yoga and Pilates fnd favour with these free-birds. Also,
anything that holds a humanitarian cause catches their interest like
nothing else does. Charity walks, marathons and team sports are
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 32
preferred, and so are adventurous sports like snowboarding, wind
surfng, sky diving or bungee jumping.
Aquarius is, by far, the best Sun Sign to shop with. Not short on ideas
and opinions, Water-Bearers like to go the whole hog, whenever they
decide to shop! Their distnct style of dressing rather, abstract and of-
beat shall also give you many shopping ideas. So, dont hesitate in
taking them along they may appear too ted up/ self-centred initally
but, ofen, you won't regret their company. When it comes to jewellery,
they like to be close to the nature. So, precious stones, shells, cowries
and pearls are preferred, and so are precious, gleaming metals. And,
that's exactly how they also like to keep their auto-mobiles glistening
and shimmering! Quite possessive about their dream machine, they are
proud of their possession, and would love to faunt it.
Pisces: Most Fish have a tendency to be quite laid-back, so they need a
'real' push to 'exercise'. However, since most of them are quite
appearance-conscious, they would eventually do something or other for
their ftness. Fascinated by the waves of sparkling water, Pisces natves
wish to be close to water bodies for long hours. And, if that water-body
is a sea, nothing like it! Hence, besides regular work-out sessions at the
gym, a Pisces natve may ofen be spoted at the pool-side/ sea-shore, as
swimming or aqua-aerobics shall turn out to be the most pleasurable
ways to burn calories for him/her. Most Fish adore the sensuality of
warm water, of foatng and gliding through currents. And, this is evident
from their special preference for water sports like water skiing, river
rafing and deep-sea diving.
When it comes to shopping, impulsive is the word that best describes a
Pisces natve. They love to shop and gif, and are ofen quick to pick up
items that appeal to their eyes. Nothing run-of-the-mill would be
allowed to enter a Pisces domain, though. They are quite selectve that
way, and prefer to collect exquisite objects. Like, if it's about jewellery,
gold rules all the way! Whether it's a trinket or a fnely carved neck-
piece, the gleam of gold with, maybe, a touch of their favourite blue
precious stones, will be evident! As for their choice of auto-mobiles, not
much can be said. They ofen tend to keep their vehicle, whichever one
they have, neglected, and would not send it in wash or repair unless
extremely necessary!

Decoding Capricorn
Permanence and reliance are the two corner-stones of the rock-solidCapricorn. Known as the Goats, Capricorn natves are one of the moststructure-oriented, constancy craving beings. Needless to say, theydislike change, and have set paterns, changeable only for the demandsof their ambiton, professional growth and success. Or, to be fair tothem, if their loved ones need it. Although liable to be perceived as cold,calculated and rigid, Goats are inwardly, sensitve, altruistc, maturebeings, who are likely to be much harder on them than they would everbe on others. Their fatal faw is their tendency to be pessimistc,melancholic and negatve.
Most Goats are cautous, practcal and prudent (and that's why theyweigh the negatves, so much!), and make brilliant providers, especiallyfrom a material perspectve. Their element Earth and their ruling planetSaturn together fll their life with responsibilites and struggle, mostlyearly on in life. A lot of Goat's stark realism, sincerity and dark moodsmay be atributed to the two.
Never underestmate serious Goats, though, for they won't fail tosurprise you sometmes with their endless whining, at other tmeswith their steely determinaton, and yet at other tmes with their crazed,unstoppable, dry humour (read sarcasm!). Practcal and methodical,most Goats are, in fact, famous in their circles for their helpful nature,vibrant personalites, positve, headstrong approach and resilience. Theirwondrous clarity of thought makes them great problem solvers. Goatsalso have a burning need and desire for power and prestge.
However, their abilites, personalites and intriguing sensibilites alwayswin them an equal number of foes and admirers/ friends. Goatsunderstand that people are jealous of their popularity and success. And,they fathom that while they are surrounded by well-wishers, there arethe ones around who are on the lookout for an opportunity to pull themdown. But these things rarely scare them. In fact, when the Goats setout on their journey, the best part is that they know exactly where thesebumps can be expected, and they know how to handle them.
Now, all that is not to say that Goats are these magnifcent beings, whodon't face any hitch, due to their foresight. On the contrary the Goatshave their set of problems, they take tme to deal with these betrayals(which, by the way, are many in their lives) and they do make theirmistakes.
But, they stll always try to plan out the minutest of details, and considereach possibility, so that the life doesn't take them by surprise. Alwaysready with a Plan-B, and even a Plan-C, Goats have optons aplenty.
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 36
Many may consider this as a sign of pessimism. But according to theGoats, this is merely practcal. The fear of failure, in fact, makes themover-cautous. They also consider other people's views and outlooks,and hence are ready with a second opton, in case someone disagreeswith the frst.
While Leo is the undisputed king of the jungle, it is the Capricorn whoactually executes and enjoys the powers of a king. A Capricorn boss issaid to be a tough taskmaster. He will point out your mistakes, evenwhen you think you could not have done beter. And, although, Goatbosses frmly believe only in constructve critcism, they ofen demandprety much from their subordinates and juniors. But, then that'sbecause they always believe that what is done well, can be done evenbeter. Juniors may initally begrudge them, but then such bosses aremissed the most and such bosses make the best teachers. And, the bestpart is that the Goat boss always strives to be a good role model to hissubordinates. Therefore, his subordinates are likely value his critcism.
Capricorn is the Sign that ages most gracefully. They tend to becomemore refned, more stylishly turned out and even more elegant, as theygrow in age and experience. Needless to say, these contnual workers areclassic examples of experiental learning.
The Goats in the Professional and Public Domain
As already hinted, the Goats visualise, and when they do, they dreambig! Ofen ambitous and successful, they are industrious and gifed withgreat intellect. But they may lack two very important qualites socialgrace and the art of winning hearts. The Goats should get a litle soferon themselves as well as on the people around them. You can commandrespect, but you have to earn love. They should also be conscious abouthow they conduct themselves in public. The Goats need to bridge thegap between people, and carry them along to accomplish commongoals.
A Goat who has learned how to deal with people and how to win hearts,is difcult to stop. Challenges cannot shake the confdence of hard-working, efcient Goats. Promotons, increments, and status may comea litle late in their lives, but Goats do not look this as failure rather aninspiraton to do even beter. And, they may not always get the best, atleast not easily, but then where-ever they are, whatever they are doing,they endeavour to give it their best.
Things take tme in a Goat's life also, because they don't do things in ahurry. Haste is truly waste for them! As said earlier, their craving prestgeis strong and they believe in earning it righteously, therefore they makesure that every step they take is in the right directon. Slow and steady
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 37
wins the race this stands true for an unrelentng Capricorn.
The Goats in Financial and Money Maters
The Goats aim to acquire wealth, but only through conventonal sourcesand tried and tested formulae. If they come across a great opportunityor a lucratve ofer, which has never been tried before, they wouldhappily turn down the ofer. At least they will not take it upfront, notwithout proper and detailed research. They are not risk-takers, andwould pass up the small gains for long-term happiness and biggerbenefts. Although they are ready to take up challenges, they hesitate toadapt unconventonal or innovatve methods to deal with them. And,this tendency of them may, at tmes, may go too far, and they may loseon excellent opportunites in life. Not that the Goats will regret it,though! They will either fnd another, beter one, or shall completelyforget about it that rigid a Goat can be.
You will come across a lot of old-fashioned businessmen or teachers,professors etc. who are Capricorn natves, and have sadly not grownmuch in life, thanks to their resistance to anything novel andexperimental. A litle alteraton in their style of working can take themmuch higher on the success ladder. They need to experiment a bit andbe more open to new ideas, new concepts. They should work in tunewith tmes, and bid farewell to the rigid and orthodox ways of working.This will give them a chance to be more compettve, and explore theirtrue potental. This is the only way Goats can improve their fnancialstability and status.
The Goats in the Maters of Heart and Interpersonal Relatonships
If you are in love with a Goat, you need some patence. Although theyare not secretve, they are deep, and may prefer keeping their thoughtsand emotons to themselves. In short, they will take their own sweettme to open up, and specifcally trust you. Also, it may be very difcultfor goats to 'relax', which may them hyper and jumpy a defnite pain,when you have them as your sweethearts. But, then there are no freelunches in this world!
Romantcs at heart and sof at their core, they may not be very good atexpressing their feelings for their beloved. And, they are least likely to beblinded by mere, vacuous passion or emoton. They may fall for people,though, who, are not as scintllatng or successful as they. But, that isbecause Goats are excellent providers, and they take this concept ofindependence and providing for loved ones to their heart. They don'tmind a dependant spouse/ partner, but not for long. For, they also wanttheir partners to have a lot of self-respect and esteem. And, for a Goatworking, earning, being successful and being on the move are the sure-
GaneshaSpeaks.com | 38
shot ways of keeping and fostering self-esteem.
Practcal in their ways to even express their love and afecton, Goatsmay initally disappoint or disturb an overly-romantc, dreamy person'snoton of love. If you expect them to fall in love with you right away, youwill surely be disappointed. The Goats do not make hasty decisions.These earthy creatures ensure the ground is frm before stepping on it.To be precise, they are, yet again, steady yet slow in their approachwhen it comes to relatonships. This quality may ofen be seen as coldand emotonless. But, that's not true, and you will only come to knowthis when you get to know a Goat inside-out. They are for keeps, butonly if they are devoted to you! Give them some, and you shall receive alot, a lot more in return.
Passionate about their relatonships, Goats inadvertently credit theirpartners for their support in a marriage or bond. They derive strengthfrom their beloved, and don't hesitate to announce this to the world.Like other things in their lives, they also want their relatonships to beregulated and defned. Commited to the core, the Goats are awareabout their responsibilites and happily fulfl them. All in all, the sincereand dedicated Goats are the partners you can rely upon. And, if that'snot enough, they make wonderful parents! Just be more patent andcalmer, and try to understand their inherent need to work hard and testwaters.
The Goats in the Maters of Home and Domestcity
Those born under the sign of Capricorn want their homes to be cosy andwarm, and clean and tdy. They disapprove of messy rooms and uncleansurroundings. The Goats are highly career-oriented and, therefore, can'teasily strike a balance between personal and professional life. Theyspend a lot of tme at their workplaces.
But, this doesn't imply that the Goats make irresponsible parents. Infact, they make sure that their children are disciplined and organised.They want to provide perfect training to their children, so that they growup to become respected and responsible citzens. However, the Goatsshould pay more atenton to their domestc lives. Although, they lovetheir families, partners, parents and children very much, they may notbe very demonstratve of their love and emotons. And, this, whencoupled with them spending less tme with their loved ones, is liable tomisunderstood and can breed negatve emotons. So, again here's aneed for fnding a middle ground. Capricorn, if decides to relax a bit,consciously at that, can solve most of the problems of his/ her life.
