Can you teach him to be what you expect or does he have a predestined personality? What signs are best for getting along with children? Which signs make good watch dogs? What signs will adapt to out-door living and make good inside pets? Will he bite the mailman, or will he let someone enter your home uninvited with his tail wagging? Choosing a pet that suits your needs can be a difficult task especially if you are not aware of what the animal’s "typical" personality traits are. This is where Astrology can help you choose the right pet for your needs. Every pet requires different treatments and you need to use individual teaching methods in order for him to behave and respond normally. Did you know that psychological problems can develop in your pet if you treat him the same all the time? Each animal has his own unique individual personality and will go through emotional ups and downs just like we do. Different types of personalities require different methods of handling. Astrology is not the only thing or even the main influence on pet personalities or behavior. But it is one that should be considered when choosing your pet. Some personality traits are inherited, such as aggressiveness. Environment also plays an important part in influencing behavior. And of course the breed also plays an important part also. Consider for a moment how the phases of the moon influence the ocean. And since our bodies contain a large percentage of water, it seems obvious that our behavior should be affected by the phases of the moon too. Some personalities are greatly affected by moon phases, and others may be so slight one would not even notice any change. It depends on your sign! Water signs are affected most by the moon phases. Mood swings are common in water signs. But the moon is not the only thing in the sky to affect personality. In fact, all planets have an influence on behavior and personality. It is the "combination" of signs and plants that affect how we will behave. And there are enough combinations to create a unique and individual personality in all of us! For example: Mercury is an indicator of our intelligence. Venus influences our sensual or romantic side. Mars determines energy, specifically, sexual energy. Jupiter influences our luck factor. Saturn influences how disciplined we are. Uranus influences the things that happen to us suddenly or unexpectedly and out of our control. Neptune influences creativity and fantasies. And, Pluto determines what in our lives needs to come to an end, and what new phase will replace the old one. Data collected on pets over a ten-year period showed how consistent their behavior could be correlated with their astrological sign. That is certainly worth consideration. The following is a list of personality traits and behaviors that you might expect to find in a pet born with that sign: LEO (July 20 – August 20): Positive: Proud, calm, graceful, strong, loyal, intelligent, friendly, active, likes to explore, likes to be the center of attention, loves to please, likes swimming, protective of animal friends and family members, overprotective of children, leader of the pack of animal friends.
