01
Aries - Dog
Aries are high energy people who rarely take a moment to breathe. An enthusiastic and energetic person needs a pet who brings as much vitality to the table as they do. Dogs are practically the embodiment of enthusiasm, so there isn't a better fit for an Aries than man's best friend.

02
Taurus - Turtle
Tauruses can be stubborn folks who refuse to move (both metaphorically and literally) if something doesn't seem pleasant or fun to them. This slow-but-steady, contemplative mentality is perfectly mirrored by a pet turtle. A small turtle with an earthy aquarium set-up would be suit this Earth sign wonderfully.

03
Gemini - Parrot
Gemini are social butterflies. They can talk to just about anyone about anything, so they need a pet who can exchange quips at all hours. Geminis will appreciate the chatter and companionship of a parrot. As an Air sign, a Gemini may take more naturally to a bird as a pet as well

04
Cancer- Hamster
Cancers are nurturers by nature and often enjoy a quiet and comfortable night in with close friends over a wild and crazy night. They are delicate, cuddly, and in need of special care - just like their perfect pet, the hamster. Cancers will love caring for and showing off their adorable, gentle hamster.

05
Leo- Horse
Graceful, bold, and passionate, a Leo is often the center of attention and needs a pet that represents their regal qualities. A horse may require a lot of time, focus, and upkeep, but few other creatures display the power and majesty they do. Together, a Leo and a horse make quite the attention-grabbing pair.

06
Virgo - Fish
A Virgo needs a pet that won't make a mess. A practical choice for this Earth sign's detail-oriented mind would be a fish. Fish can be a low-maintenance pet (like a goldfish), but Virgos could also really get into all of the intricacies of creating and maintaining a complex aquarium system if they really wanted to.

07
Libra - Dove
Always the romantic, a Libra is in need of a pet that represents the beauty they so often see in the world. Few pets are as symbolic of romance and beauty as the dove. Libras love balance and peace, both of which are qualities the dove often represents. A dove would also fit in with the Libra's dominant element, Air.

08
Scorpio - Snake
A Scorpio is unpredictable, mysterious, and maybe even a little intimidating to many. What better pet for this wild card than the creature who can be intimidating to those who don't know it well? Scorpios have an innate infatuation with the macabre and dark, so owning a snake would fit their personality perfectly.

09
Sagittarius - Tortoise
A Sagittarius is known for their free spirit and desire to roam. They'll need a pet that won't require much of them but shares their attitude. A tortoise is a little wilder than a tiny turtle and won't ask much of its Sagittarius owner. Tortoises are also known for their longevity and persistence, qualities many Sagittarii also possess.

Capricon - Cat
A Capricorn is the hard worker of the zodiac. They love structure, order, and the ability to control their lives; the last thing they need is a pet upsetting their well-constructed world. A cat is the perfect chill addition to their home. They can ignore one another most of the day but get some warmth from one another when they need it.

11
Aquarius - Lizard
An Aquarius can be a little eccentric, to say at the least. Aquarians also value their freedom, which is why a lizard would make a perfect pet for this Air sign. Lizards are as quirky and off-the-wall as Aquarians, plus with a heat lamp and a bit of food and water, lizards can be left on their own if an Aquarius decides to go off on a little adventure.

12
Pisces - Rabbit
Pisces is known as the zodiac's most sensitive sign. They can be very emotionally reactive, which is why they need a pet who is as gentle-hearted and in need of cuddles as them. They also need an animal who won't have sudden outbursts of crying or barking. A bunny is an adorable and ideal pet for this dreamy Water sign.
