Birthday Astrology

The one day in the year when you have license to just enjoy being yourself. Last but not least do you think your astro sign has an effect on the kind of day you will choose? Certainly, your overall astro tendencies could condition your special day!

ARIES

An Aries celebrating their birthday means laying on a party. Guests will be expected to “get into the groove” and participate in arduous dance routines. Aries folk like to be active; the fact is the only time you will see them sitting still will be in the dental chair. Energetic egg and spoon races in the back yard will ensure a good time is had by all, most of all that Aries! Mates from the Kung Fu martial arts club will probably bring the booze. Guests are expected to attend in tea shirts and jeans and have “good sport” characteristics. Best present. Track suit.

TAURUS

Taurus will probably want to eat a lot on their birthdays with a leisurely atmosphere around the kitchen, no rush, and no fuss. On the big day a wise friend or relative will offer the earthy, sensuous Taurus a massage. Taurus loves to be pampered and feel good in their own skin, especially when they are standing around plants. Taurus are not born to be wild though, so drunken ravers screaming “Happy Birthday” will not be this bull’s thing. They would prefer to get intimate with their honey when night falls in fact. Best birthday would be to scoff their way through a four course party lunch. If they invite you to a laid back do, dress casual. Best present Bonsai tree.

GEMINI

Gemini will probably hire a concert hall or a sports arena for the party. These airy twins have so many “contacts” it might be hard to fit them into an average size house, or flat. They expect their guests to be experts at sparkling repartee. Small time soap celebrities could be spotted offering the sausage trays around. Social gatherings are the tops for Geminis as they not only talk a lot they recount a succession of daft shaggy dog stories. They will tend to fill the room with colored balloons; Gemini likes anything that rises in the air! Best presents iPods or mobile phones.

CANCER

If you are a sensitive Cancer you might prefer to spend your birthday in your own company reminiscing about how things used to be. You could invite mum over since you love her special, homemade jam tart. Mum spoils you. You will urge her to bring the photo album so you can both get the hankies out and have a good sniffle. More sniffles watching “An Affair to Remember” on the video player will be appreciated. Barbara Streisand music is preferred. Best presents home knitted sweaters and scrap books.

LEO

Fiery Leo birth days will have a self indulgence theme. The day could begin with an up market shopping spree followed by a “spoil yourself silly” afternoon at the spa having one of those aromatic herbal massages. The birthday could then be topped by a rave party where Leos excel as the centre of attention with a lot of swishing back of hair and friends falling at their feet in admiration. They will like their birthday dinner well garnished. Presents could include a crown and scepter but they will also accept costume jewellery.

VIRGO

Virgos pre plan and write lists prior to the big day. Virgos do not like surprises; therefore it is best if party expenses are calculated beforehand and nobody asks the conjurer to perform. An assessment will be made on how to spend as little as possible on caterers. Hopefully the Virgo will not get a bilious attack fretting about their birthday celebrations over their morning cupper. Virgo will spend a lot of time ironing the napkins the table cloth, their shirt, or dress, etc. Everything has to be perfect and wrinkle free. Best present: nutcrackers and DIY kits.

LIBRA

Your beauty loving Libra birthday boy or girl might like a trip to the ballet or opera, a fashion show would not go amiss. Expect to see them looking swell in designer clothes as they glide past their many birthday admirers in Jimmy Choo shoes. If they throw a party guests are expected to have impeccable manners, shoes and clothes. Dirty nails are not tolerated. Gobbling is not taken kindly to either, nor is arguing. They will not dig having to be that archetypal peacemaker even on their birthday present, bathroom scales.

SCORPIO

Scorpios might like to take in the following for their birthday, hot sex, a horror movie or a session in the tattoo parlor! Scorpio’s special day will be thrill based, and it will pay homage to his best pal, Pluto, King of the Underworld. Scorpio will not exclude a spell of ghost hunting or a quick weekend in Transylvania. Presents, vampire teeth or a pet snake.

SAGITTARIUS

The Saggy might like to hire a horse on their birthday and go for a gallop across the moors, the wind in their hair. Expect them to enjoy a trip to the circus, a sky diving weekend or an archery session. Action packed and risky celebrations are the best bet where Saggys are concerned. However an adventure break somewhere would be the ultimate for a Saggy. Ideal present therefore: A weekend at the races!

CAPRICORN

Cappys would prefer nothing less on their birthdays than breakfast at Tiffany’s, perhaps with some rare herbal tea thrown in. Being picked up at their deluxe residence by a Rolls Royce and then taken to some fancy restaurant in the evening, with refined harpsichord music playing in the background is also recommended for a Cappys birthday night out. Top hats and pearls would be preferred. Best present: pearls.

AQUARIUS

Something akin to the mad hatter’s tea party might be fun for an Aquarian guy’s celebrations obviously with a good-looking Alice in tow. Another alternative would be a gig on top of Glastonbury Tor. These fun and airy folk will not lack for friends to join in the party since the world is their friend. If they throw a birthday at home, expect them to be talking plans for a coming green revolution with their mates, and also expect 70s style songs of protect to emanate from the jukebox. Best present a vintage Bob Dylan or Duffy CD.

PISCES

The Piscean birthday will be a day of gold dust and party frocks, a day of dreams and recounting them. Pisces will want their day to be magical. So they could invite a tarot card reader over, or a psychic healer who reads the minds of their guests and gets them into a blue funk as a result. They will want to hold hands with their lover and get a birthday prediction together though, or draw the curtains for a séance. Best present Ouija Board or goldfish bowl.
