You’ve probably checked your horoscope to see what the stars say about your love life, your week ahead, or even your next career move… but have you ever wondered what kind of pet the cosmos thinks you should have?
According to some astrologers, the zodiac doesn’t just reveal your personality — it might also hint at the ideal furry, feathered, or scaly companion for you. Whether you’re a sensitive Pisces or a bold Leo, the stars may have already picked your perfect pet.
Let’s see which animal best suits your star sign!
♈ Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your match: An energetic dog like a Labrador or Border Collie
Aries are bursting with energy, and you thrive on outdoor adventures. You need a companion who can keep up with your bold, go-go-go attitude — which makes a bouncy, friendly pup like a Labrador or Border Collie the perfect sidekick. Think of them as your four-legged fitness buddy!
♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Your match: A cuddly LaPerm cat
As a Taurus, you’re all about comfort, affection, and a little luxury. A LaPerm cat, known for rubbing against anything (and anyone!) in their path, will gladly match your love of touch and loyalty. Bonus: their curly fur is as soft as your favourite throw blanket.
♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Your match: A talkative parrot
Quick-witted, curious, and always up for a chat — Gemini, you need a pet that can match your mental gymnastics. Enter the parrot: colourful, clever, and capable of having a good ol’ natter. Of all pets, this is the one who has the best chance of keeping up with your conversations!
♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your match: A snuggly Somali cat
Cancer, you’re a natural nurturer — intuitive, empathetic, and happiest when you’re caring for someone (or something). A Somali cat fits the bill perfectly. They’re affectionate, loyal, and never too far from a cuddle. A match made in cosy heaven.
♌ Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Your match: A majestic horse…or a luxurious Sphynx cat
You’re the zodiac’s royalty, Leo, so your pet should reflect your flair for drama and elegance. A horse is your ideal partner: regal, strong, and just as attention-grabbing as you are. No room for a stable? A Sphynx cat has the glamour and uniqueness to keep up with you — and their buttery-soft skin? Pure luxury.
♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Your match: A tidy tortoise
Meticulous and practical, you can’t stand fur on your cushions or chaos in your home. So a pet who makes a mess in the house or sheds hair everywhere will not be welcome. A tortoise is your kind of pet — clean, low-maintenance, and as calm and orderly as your calendar.
♎ Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Your match: A well-groomed Miniature Poodle or Maine Coon cat
Libra, you have an eye for beauty and a soft spot for elegance. Whether it’s a majestic Maine Coon cat or a stylishly coiffed Miniature Poodle, your pet must be pleasing to the eye — and of course, you’ll pick the cutest one of the bunch.
♏ Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Your match: A mysterious snake
Intense, passionate, and private, Scorpios connect with creatures that share their mystique. A snake — silent, watchful, and always a little bit enigmatic — is a surprisingly poetic match. Plus, their skin-shedding habit perfectly mirrors your love of personal transformation. Did you know we have Pet Sitters who’ll care for your snake?
♐ Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Your match: Low-maintenance fish
Born to roam, Sagittarians are always planning their next big adventure. You need a pet that won’t mind your spontaneous road trips and wanderlust. Fish are the perfect fit — peaceful, independent, and happy to swim laps while you chase horizons!
♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Your match: A hardworking (and mischievous) ferret
Capricorn, you’re all about dedication and resilience. You’re not afraid to put in the work — and you’ll enjoy the challenge of caring for a playful, clever ferret. They may be high-effort, but you’re not one to shy away from responsibility.
♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Your match: A rescue pup like a Yorkshire Terrier
The humanitarian of the zodiac. You care deeply about others and probably have a soft spot for rescue animals. A lap dog like a Yorkshire Terrier — especially one you’ve adopted — will thrive under your love, attention, and limitless compassion.
♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your match: A gentle rabbit or guinea pig
Sweet, sensitive, and deeply intuitive, Pisces are naturally drawn to soft, snuggly creatures. A rabbit or guinea pig will match your gentle energy and benefit from your tender, nurturing care. Just be warned — they’ll melt your heart in seconds. Find out everything you need to know about owning & caring for a rabbit and a guinea pig.
