Cars and Horscopes..

Did you know that the power of the planets zooms into every aspect of your life, down to your car's horsepower? Beyond romance, career choices, and money matters, the astrological forces play out in your personal preferences in surprising ways - even down to the car you decide to buy, and how you drive it!

Knowing the nature of your Sun Sign helps you to understand the basic seat of your personality. Your Sun Sign represents who you are on a core level, and offers clues to how you think about yourself, and how you relate to the world around you. And yes, this includes your driving habits and vehicle choices.

Check out the Sun Signs below for your astrological road report. Find out how the stars inspire our taste in cars and why we drive the way we do on the cosmic highway of life!

Aries:(March 21 - April 19)
The racy Rams are the folks to be wary of on the road. Aries are impatient drivers who don't like to sit at red lights. When they approach an intersection and see the light turning yellow, they'll hit the gas instead of the brake. They are in such a big hurry to get where they're going, so it would not be the least surprising to find them driving a fast, red sports car like a BMW or Porsche. For the more outdoorsy types who need to charge off-road into the wilderness, it seems natural that the perfect choice is the Dodge Ram, named after their ruling archetype.

Taurus:(April 20 - May 20)
Taureans are all about luxury and style. They want a posh, comfortable, smooth ride. And, they want to be seen in a car they are proud of. Taureans love comfort and aren't afraid to spring for heated leather seats, automatic windows, and air conditioning. On the road, they are safe, steady, and defensive drivers. Concerned about security, it isn't surprising to learn that most car alarms are in cars with Taurus owners. They want to protect their investment - especially since they are the ones who have saved up for a new Mercedes Benz or Rolls Royce. While they are saving, the Bull can't go wrong by riding in their namesake, trusty vehicle, the Ford Taurus.

Gemini:(May 21 - June 20)
If you see someone driving haphazardly while talking on his or her cell phone, chances are good you've got your eyes on a Gemini driver. Geminis love to multitask, and they also adore communicating. Being on the road and talking on the phone simultaneously is like heaven for the Twin. These are two great passions for these folks, and they aren't afraid to put to the two together - even if it means driving around like a mad person. Geminis are quick and often can't make up their mind. Be aware of frequent lane changes from these folks. To support their need to whiz around, look for them in a VW Jetta, or zippy Miata.

Cancer:(June 21 - July 22)
Cancers don't like to leave home, but when they do, they feel more secure and comfortable if their car resembles their home. Special keepsakes and trinkets will line the dashboard of many Cancerian vehicles. Their lucky rabbit's foot will dangle from the review mirror and a picture of their kids will be tucked in the overhead sun visor. Cancers like a vehicle they can virtually live in when they're on the road. That is why the VW Vanagon fits them perfectly. An RV, Dodge Caravan, or any large station wagon would also do quite nicely.

Leo:(July 23 - August 22)
Leos are a proud bunch that likes to own the road. They need a large or flashy vehicle that warns other drivers that they are in charge. When merging onto a freeway, the Lion driver is not likely to yield with complacency. They would prefer to have all other drivers yield to them - regardless of who actually has the right of way. A large SUV or monster truck with big tires suits these folks quite well, giving them a nice high vantage point from which to rule the road. Let's not forget Leo's association with big cats; the ultimate luxury car for them is a Jaguar.

Virgo:(August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are practical and budget-oriented. They need a car that will get them from A to B without any special bells and whistles. These folks are champions of good car maintenance and will keep clear, detailed records of oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid levels. They need a car that is reliable, modest, and gets great gas mileage. Give them a Honda Accord or Toyota Tercel and they'll be happy as clams. It's also natural to see them driving a Ford Mercury, named after their ruling planet.

Libra:(September 23 - October 22)
Do you ever wonder about the people who are doing their makeup or fixing their hair while driving? Well, these are the Libras - the kings and queens of fashion and beauty. Their rearview mirror is more often pointed toward themselves instead of toward the back of the car. Who needs to know what's going on behind you when the more pressing concern is how you'll look when you arrive at your destination? Libras are into style and luxury, and they aren't afraid to spend a little extra to get the car that fits them perfectly - a Lincoln, Acura, or Audi.

Scorpio:(October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios like to live on the edge. They are the extremists of the zodiac, and they aren't afraid to drive in the same manner. Have you ever been buzzed by a car going about 130 MPH on the freeway, going so fast that you couldn't even make out the kind of car it was? Well, that was your Scorpio buddy in their new Corvette or Ferrari. Perhaps he or she was outrunning the police - or more likely - an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. These intense folks are also prone to love motorcycles and like to be wild and free with their hair blowing in the wind.

Sagittarius:(November 22 - December 21)
Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of long-distance travel, these folks are born road warriors. Archers love to travel, explore new places and people, and let the road lead the way. There's no need for a map when you have a Sagittarian on board. Remember that Sag is half human and half horse, so it's natural to see them in a Mustang, their trusty steed. In addition, they'll delight in an adventuresome tour vehicle that holds up well in the Great Outdoors like a Ford Explorer or Toyota Land Cruiser.

Capricorn:(December 22 - January 19)
Sea Goats are drivers with a plan. Before they leave the house, they have their exact route carefully structured and mapped. They may have even cross-referenced a couple Internet sources to get the most efficient directions possible. Capricorns have half the trunk filled with emergency gear like jumper cables, toolkits, extra maps, cases of oil, windshield-washing fluid, and perhaps even a couple flares and a GPS system. Look for them in a safe, practical vehicle like a Subaru, Volvo, or Saturn (the car named after their steady ruling planet).

Aquarius:(January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians are the great humanitarians, so the more they can incorporate planet-saving policies into their driving practices, the happier they are. That's why you'll see your Aquarius neighbor down the street collecting used vegetable oil from restaurants and turning it into bio-diesel for the '68 pickup they rescued from the salvage yard. The city-dwelling Aquarians with no access to a big garage for science projects will rely on a hybrid or purely electrical vehicle for transport. You'll see them using the carpool lane and at rallies and demonstrations promoting development of solar powered cars and alternative-fueled or hybrid vehicles, like the Toyota Prius.

Pisces:(February 19 - March 20)
These folks are in a dream world for most of their waking hours, including the time they spend on the road. They are more apt to be gazing at the distant scenery or up at clouds than at the cars in front of them. Such space cadet Fishes are better suited in a boat than in a car. Look for them behind the wheel of cars that seem like boats on the road - a large Grand Marquis or Crown Victoria. These people are also the ones who pilot the novelty amphibious boats that take people on land and water tours. Other than that, you might catch them driving an aptly named Infiniti, for Pisces are the ones most closely connected with the universal flow of life.
