Aries  Birth stone Diamond You like... Sincere people, freedom, being busy, laughing at silly jokes and scary movies (sometimes). You dislike... Gossip, moody mates, being taken for granted and you absolutely hate lies. You're best at... Leading the pack as a leader, pushing yourself to the limit and making difficult decisions Deep down... U are just a sensitive softie with a lust for life 'n' love. U dream of having a gang of mates, a happy home environment 'n' wild holiday adventures. Your career... Choose a job in publishing, entertaining or climb to the top as a company boss - anything where you're in charge of exciting and interesting projects. Fashion Tight-fitting clothes in bright colours (red especially) look great on you - as do sporty-looking clothes or anything fashionably stripey. Fluffy, girlie clobber isn't your style at all. As a mate... A friendly and focused type, u want everyone to be happy. U can't stand dishonesty or people who talk behind ur back and won't be shy to mouth off at 'em if they do. As a girlfriend... U take the lead in a relationship, teasing ur boy wiv passionate kisses 'n' behind-the-scenes butt squeezes. If he's worth his salt 'n' wants to keep u, he'll return th! e favour with hot dates and plenty of pressies. If your boyf's an Aries... He lurves being in charge, so let 'im off once in a while 'n' pretend he is. Tell him how clever, capable 'n' cute he is 'n' he'll be eating out of ur hand. Mind the temper though - he's far from bootylicious when he's blowing his top. Play it cool till he's calm and then wait for him to say sorry. He must've been the one who was wrong, right?

You enjoy shopping for clothes, b! ut don't like spending too much on them. You love pretty dresses and dainty shoes are a must!

A lovable, loyal sort, your close friends can always count on u when the going gets tough. Stubborn beyond belief, u find it difficult to say sorry, but you'll make an effort to patch things up. And u don't forget birthdays. As a girlfriend... You need romance like a fish needs water. Good food, bear hugs 'n' mountains of flowers make you mushy. Loyal 'n' affectionate, you expect ur boyf to be faithful. If he cheats on you, he's in serious trouble If your boyf's a Taurus Make an effort to dress up for dates. These types have great style and appreciate u going to all that trouble. Don't rush ur crush either - he likes to! take his time when kissing, eating or chatting. Be patient with him or you'll scare him off. Taurus boys are slow-moving sweeties 'n' he's worth the wait.

Gemini  Birth stone Pearl or moonstone. You like... Interesting conversations, wacky movies, new places 'n' people and being first in line for the latest CD or fashion trend.. You dislike... Being told what to do, being told what not to do and people who sit in ur space for hours saying nothing. You're best at... Organising parties, thinking up brilliant ideas for projects 'n' stuff and doing six different things at the same time. Deep down... U are always looking around the corner for the next exciting person, place or adventure to stimulate ur restless mind. U like to be involved in whatever's happening and hate being left out of things. Your career... Bend ur mind a! round a career in computer technology, theatre directing or feed ur adrenalin by becoming a circus performer. Fashion With fashion, as with everything else, you're a creature of extremes. One day, you'll pull out all the stops and really go to town on your appearance, the next you'll deliberately dress down. Yellow's your top colour but actually, you look good in any bright shade. You're a complete sucker for shoes, especially non-sensible ones, but being such a fast walker, you'd probably do your feet a favour by sometimes opting for less crazy styles. As a mate... You are loads of fun to be around. People love your sense of humour and laugh-a-minute conversations. Always game to try out new things, u really are the life of the party and mates think u are just fab. As a girlfriend... U get bored easily, so ur boyf's got to be a fun sort who enjoys surprising u. Clever and witty, u are quick to ditch someone who can't match ur mental magnetism, bu! t watch that sharp tongue and learn patience. Not everyone's as brilliantly brainy as u! If your boyf's a Gemini.. Learn to think on ur feet. He likes to play word games with u so best u engage that brain at all times.

Virgo  Birth stone Sapphire. You like... Paying attention to detail, solving difficult problems and getting the job done on time. You dislike... Confused and lazy people, pointless conversations and mates who can't make up their minds about where to go for coffee. You're best at... Organising projects, meeting deadlines, staying out of trouble and keeping ur head when everyone else is running around in circles.

Deep down... U wish the world was run by Virgos, coz if it was, there'd be no long queues at the mall and no computer crashes. Chaos confuses and annoys u. Your career... Attention to detail is ur thing, so become an anthropologist, police chief, undercover agent or magazine editor. Fashion You like to be trendy, but won't wear clothes you know don't suit you.
