Is a pot-bellied pig, puppy, or parrot your best choice?

Pets enrich our lives in many ways. Anytime you take care and love another creature, you're doing something good for yourself. When we walk our dogs, we're improving our health; when we pet our cats, we're helping to get rid of stress.
There are many different types of pets out there and it can be difficult to know what kind to choose. But luckily, your zodiac sign can help you find the perfect pet.
Aries (March 21 - April 19): The best pet for an Aries is a Boston Terrier. You need a pet that will match your abundant amount of energy, and that's this small but sturdy dog. He's ready to go when you are.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Slow and steady are your words, so naturally, a turtle is the best choice for you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Geminis can communicate with almost everybody, so the perfect pet is obviously a talking parrot.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): You're a caring nurturer, so why not adopt a special needs pet? You'll have something to focus all your attention on, and they'll finally get the love they deserve.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): Since you're big and bold, you need a strong feline as a pet. A serval may be right for you. A serval is a wildcat that comes from Southern and Central Africa, and while it isn't a house cat, it does purr, chirp, hiss, growl, grunt and meow.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Virgos are practical, detail-oriented, and focused. A good animal for a Virgo to have is a ferret. Ferrets are quiet, friendly, inquisitive, intelligent, and make fascinating companions.
Libra (September 23 - October 22): Because it's challenging for a Libra to make a decision, the best direction to go for a pet is to not have one, but to have one of each. Hopefully they'll all get along because there's nothing a Libra hates more than conflict.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): A Scorpio would love to have a snake as a pet because it's just as secretive, mysterious, and sometimes unpredictable as they are.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Sagittarians love to be wild and free, so a horse is the best pet for them. Let's hope the horse can match the energy of their owner.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Capricorns are practical and thrive under structure. They're going to need a dog who can double as a guard dog and a pet. An Akita would be a good choice because they're dignified, courageous, and loyal.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Aquarians are very tech-savvy, so they'd love a hamster or gerbil that has a super-involved cage with tubes, wheels, and sensors.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Pisces can be dreamy to the extreme and forgetful. A fish is the ideal pet for them. They'll enjoy looking at a tank filled with exotic fish, and if they forget to feed the fish, that's OK; they should be able to survive for a week or so.
