When we talk about why people have pets, a few things come to mind. Companionship is usually the first. Others may feel it is their duty to rescue a stray dog or adopt a pet for protection. The reasons are truly endless, but for the most part, anyone with a pet is indeed an animal lover.
While we can look to our sun sign to determine which pet would be ideal, the 11th house provides an even more accurate picture of pet compatibility.
Why?
This is the astrological house of friendship! This house explores where we belong, what we surround ourselves with, and even how we interact socially – all of which ties into pet ownership.
Let’s dive into the best pet for your zodiac sign.
The best pet for your zodiac sign
Aries: Beagle
Aries needs a cheerful, easy-to-train pet. When choosing a dog, Aries will likely prefer a dog that is independent and enjoys lots of walks and adventures.
That said, any trainable pet will bring great satisfaction to your life if you have other influences in your chart that promote patience and leadership.
It is for this reason that dogs like Beagles or Italian Greyhounds are usually the ultimate pet for an Aries: smart, independent, courageous, but eager to learn. They offer everything an Aries needs!
Taurus: Pig
Pigs are both intelligent and independent, which suits the Taurus lifestyle very well. Taurus is grounded and the ultimate homebody, which means they would rather talk to their pets than people. A fantastic potential pet owner indeed!
You have a natural ability with animals, so almost anything you choose will likely be satisfying. This is why Taurus is an absolute natural with animals like cattle, especially cows. Of course, a cow isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea.
A little pig works well as a middleman between a cat and a dog (you’ll thank us later!).
Gemini: Rabbit
For Gemini, a pet is part of the family, so you may prefer pets that behave and feel the same way. Many would assume that dogs are an obvious choice, but rabbits are actually much more attuned to Gemini energy.
Rabbits are highly intelligent, sociable and affectionate, with a slight tendency to be a bit conceited and vindictive. They also need someone who can work to understand their complex personalities, something the talkative, charismatic Gemini is up to.
In this environment full of Gemini love, a Rabbit would be fulfilled in all the ways he needs, and Gemini would get someone to talk to about his dreams. It’s a win-win situation.
Cancer: Siamese cat
Because Sagittarius is the dominant influence in Cancer’s pet zone, some people believe that the love of freedom does not lend itself well to pet ownership – but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Instead, this zodiac sign likes pets to roam freely in the home and strongly believes that pets are family and should be treated as such. Siamese cats are a fantastic pet for Cancer natives.
Leo: Persian cat
You know Leo wants an animal they can show off! Leo will usually choose pets that you can not only spoil, but also pets that they can be proud of when they take them around town.
A Leo wants nothing but the best for his pet. So a pet that they can spoil makes the most sense. A true princess of a Persian cat, or even the hairless sphinx, would do the trick.
Virgo: Tortoise or Tortoise
Aquarius influences the pet zone for Virgos, and this means you may prefer more exotic “outdoor” pets. Probably yes Also prefer very independent pets that are a little more your speed.
For the neat Virgo, a tortoise or tortoise is small, quiet, clean and easy to care for. With a neat, good environment, the love between a Virgo and their little shelled friend will be an unbreakable bond.
Libra: Pisces
Pisces rules Libra’s pet zone, and you probably know what that means: Fish. You can enjoy a large koi garden outside with beautiful, striking orange fish and lots of plants, or a large saltwater aquarium in your living room.
If you did If you want to go for something with a bit more fur, you probably won’t care about status or pedigree: you don’t need pedigrees. Libra would simply fall in love with your pet and form a bond that will last a lifetime.
More than likely, just like humans, you would have a house full of stray animals that you could rescue.
Scorpio: Ferret
Aries has a big influence on Scorpio here, and that means you can take on pets that are really challenging. In general, you prefer pets that are very independent, and you are not inclined to go for something ‘ordinary’.
Ferrets and gerbils would appeal to you very much and give you great satisfaction. Additionally, hand-rearing larger birds, such as parrots, would be very appealing to you.
You would accept any animal as it is, without any conditions.
Sagittarius: Hedgehog
A free-spirited Sagittarius needs a pet that is cute, fun and thrives individually. That’s why a hedgehog is a perfect pet for a Sagittarius. This is the perfect pet for you because you can take it with you on all your daring adventures.
Both nocturnal creatures will bring out the best sides of each other.
Capricorn: Golden Retriever
When it comes to animals, you feel younger and happier, Capricorn. You are always good with them, and you are extremely good with every animal you encounter. However, for you, one would never be enough.
Capricorns like to have a house full of pets, and you probably prefer that they come from the shelter or are otherwise rescued.
That said, you would be a good match for a Golden Retriever, who would be as loyal as you are.
Aquarius: Labrador Retriever
Because the ruler of Aquarius’s pet influences is Cancer, you have a genuine warmth when it comes to animals, and you tend to like them more than people. You usually choose pets that are gentle, warm, caring and sensitive.
While Aquarius may still love independent animals like cats, a loving and loyal dog will always be the animal that gives you the most pleasure and keeps you happy.
The very best breed for you would be in the retriever class, because of their sheer beauty.
Pisces: hairless cat
Pisces is always interested in the strange and mysterious. Often their minds are in a dream world instead of here on earth.
That said, an interesting pet would go well with the interesting Pisces. A hairless cat would make a great companion for you.
