Aries
|
March 21 – April 19: Things hot and red, a bike that goes zoom zoom, everything fiery including candles, fire crackers, incense, things that flicker in the dark. Crayon Crayolas that glow in the dark, silly putty and a new glow in the dark paintbrush, one that seethes & sparkles with glitter. Hats (to contain their fire). Bike lights or a miner’s light for their Ajna Center (3rd eye), illuminating the Way. Things white, red, rouge, ruby and for some secret reason, violet. Mirrors. Anything thrilling. |
Taurus
|
April 20 – May 20: A gardener to plant all their veggie and herb starts; a yogurt machine with various starters from around the world. Green house, actually several (two, three, four). They know food in the near future will be the only commodity. Gardening tools, wild desert sage (plant) and honey. A nature walk identifying wild mushrooms. Tool, well-tooled and built for safety. A barometer & weather thermometer. Any how-to books. A cow (Irish Dexter) for milk. Bees. Gardening gloves. |
Gemini
|
May 21 – June 20: Things to read and write with, ancient (Basho’s poetry, calligraphy brush) and new (a Mac, iPhone, iPod, Kindle). Things that whirl about, glitter in the sun, resemble butterflies, which resembles their mind, which can’t endure one moment of being still. All types of gadgets that engage their hands, fascinating at first, useless later. A new washing machine and a clutch of bare root roses: fragrant heirlooms and climbers. Teach them to crochet. |
Cancer
|
June 21 – July 22: Cancer people are water babies, no matter how old they are. Decorative Kleenex containers and a mountain of Kleenex is a priority. They cry a lot. They’re sensitive. Things from the ocean like pearl puddles (jewelry), creams and soaps made from Dead Sea minerals. Containers, baskets, vessels, pots & pans, secret boxes, music boxes. A showerhead creating a rain forest. Tell them they’re your treasure from the sea. Family album. Recipes. A dish of fresh cooked crab. |
Leo
|
July 23 – August 22: Wait! Leos want to be the one and only treasure of the zodiac! Leos, sensitive too, are also fire (like Aries) but a different kind of fire. They seem to be from the Sun. Without the Sun Leos are SAAD (the lights they need). Make sure they have adequate light (shining upon them). No gloomy shades, curtains or dark colors for them! Give them things that shine like the Sun, are aglow and glitter. Opera, ballet, theatre tickets, recycled gold, silver and platinum. Rose gold (yellow gold & copper) is especially beautiful reflecting Leo’s heart. |
Virgo
|
August 23 – September 22: Virgo loves, on everyday levels, to clean, clear, order and organize. Virgo is my Chiron! Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day cleaning products. Zum cleaning products. Virgo, always gestating a new state of consciousness, hidden away from everyone except for a few. They need book shelves, notebooks, pencil cases & sharpeners, stamps, reading lights, a silver pencil, spa membership, anything about self-improvement, a book called “Just Listen” by Mark Goulston. And the sound of silence. |
Libra
|
September 23 – October 22: Art, art and more art. The kind that, at the very first glance, is beautiful, balanced and harmonious. Flower seeds and bulbs, fruit trees (apricot, lemon), kitchen herb garden, scented candles, mirrors (to see they are the fairest or most handsome), magazine subscriptions (a gift each month), Belgian chocolates, bottle of Fu-Ki Japanese Plum wine, more glass baubles for their already overcrowded Hanukkah bush/Christmas tree. A party. A gossip magazine. |
Scorpio
|
October 23 – November 21: Things deep red, violet, black, fragrant with exotic scents (sandalwood, patchouli, bergamot, myrrh, frankincense & clove). A natural oils diffuser. From doTerra, the oil called “On Guard. It’s almost the same as Young Living Oils blend called Thieves – they cleanse, purify, heal and the spray form is good for traveling; liquid soap, Zand lozenges. Leather gloves, books on warriors, revolutionaries and radicals. Anything serpentine (from Egypt) or eagle-like. A green scarab ring. Tarot cards. |
Sagittarius
|
November 22 – December 21: A home town, walking shoes, staff (several), things that make them laugh (jolly old St. Nick is a Sag), bow & arrow, an archery set with targets & bundles of straw, a new vehicle that goes fast on little gas, a trip to Bali, a (new) camera, visiting a famous photographer, photographs from famous photographers, artisanal foods, a cruise, mineralized waters, a cashmere beret. Wanderlust. |
Capricorn
|
December 22 – January 19: New shoes, hiking (mountaineering) boots, mountain climbing equipment, clocks, timepieces, watches (old), a surf board, a desk, gardening tools (the best), science sets (for both adults & children), magazines (monthly gift; Architectural Digest, Smithsonian, The Week). A week or more of rest that goes nowhere, especially not up. A beginning silverware set (knife, fork, spoon) in silver, that can be added to each year. Silver purifies foods. A compliment. |
Aquarius
|
January 20 – February 18: Both a microscope and a telescope, to see the small and big pictures. An asteroid named after them, a heavenly star map covering one entire wall in their home, anything with lights – light beams, luminosity, radiance, glitter. A Vespa & a Prius, a Coyote Trickster feather, a Kachina, pieces of sky that fell to earth. Some Aquarians need a new home & some need to travel. A donation toward either. Astrology chart. Music, Fuji water, a helping hand. |
Pisces
|
February 19 – March 20: Cashmere socks (cashmere anything), bedroom slippers, shawls, sweaters, scarves for warmth. Aromatherapy kit, fountains of running water, bells, candles (beeswax only), crystals, showerhead (like rain), goldfish, apricot canaries, a jewelry case, new kitchen makeover. An organized home set in a citrus field. Interns. Garden statues of the sleeping Buddha, Mary, Christ & St. Francis of Assisi. A cross of gold to wear (like Laura Ingraham’s). Community land. A retreat. A cottage at Findhorn. |
