Want to join the green parade this Earth Day, April 22? Though there are many ways to celebrate this eco-holiday, you can maximize your planetary contribution by tuning into the skies above to help guide your actions on Earth below. Your Sun sign can offer clues for nurturing Mother Earth, as well as suggestions for greening your life -- every day of the year!

Aries
Volcanos and hot, tropical climates bring out the fiery Earth warrior in you. Consider making a donation to protect the Amazon rainforest, or make a pilgrimage to a famous volcano to celebrate your own special connection to the planet.

Taurus
Every day really is Earth Day for you. You probably don't need to do much to connect with the planet. If somehow you don't already have a garden, this is the ideal time to get one started.

Gemini
Your airy nature is inspired and shaped by the powers of the wind -- from gentle summer breezes to blustering storms. You can get your Earth on by investing in a wind farm or simply

Despite our best efforts to keep a perfect financial flow going in our lives, how many times do we fail to set it straight? If you're willing to face your inner saboteur induced by quirks in your personality, you're halfway there.

Aries
Just as you start to make progress on your spending-savings ratio, impulse buys and kamikaze spending habits can instantly set you back in the red. You love challenges, so try saving a quarter of your income over the next year. Put that Arian noggin to good use -- a penny saved is one Ram less burned.

Taurus
Playing it too safe, putting all your eggs in one basket, or being loyal to a financial fault are just a few typical Taurus no-nos when it comes to avoiding fiascos. Of course, with Taurus being the sign of money, it's rarely that dramatic. Rather, it's usually a slow draining of funds that happens over time when you refuse to bust a risky move.

Gemini
Blame it on the evil twin who steals your credit card and goes on a luxury bender when the good

Escaping your daily routine, chasing down exciting adventures, exploring foreign cultures -- that's what travel is all about. Every astrological sign has a unique way of getting away. An Aries, for example, jet-sets with the best of them, and Virgo can pack a bag with more grace and efficiency than any other sign. Discover your own sign's approach to travel.

Aries
Aries is the pioneer of the zodiac, and this is certainly true where travel is concerned. Always on the go and seeking action, the Ram is a moving target. Those born under the first sign of the zodiac want to learn a little about a lot -- knowing who built those pyramids in Giza and when it happened is useful information, but the reasons for their existence can be saved for someone else. Aries is happy to travel alone, in which case they'll seek out some company along the way, even if only for a meal or a night. The stimulation of new people and new places is what the Ram craves when traveling -- and the more active the

"What's for dinner?" It's a question you ask yourself every day. And with so many choices of cuisine, how could it ever be possible to find yourself in a food rut?

If you're a creature of habit, you might view trying something new as quite a commitment. What if you end up wishing you'd just had "the usual"? Next time you're thinking of take-out or a night on the town, mix up the menu using the Chinese zodiac as your guide. See what your Animal Sign says about the flavorful fare most likely to satisfy your palate!

Rat
Latin tapas appeal to the sophisticated and social Rat. Ceviche, queso, calamari and olives delight the senses, while course after course of colorful, bite-sized plates create the perfect ambiance. Eating is an activity for reconnecting with old friends and charming new ones. A pitcher of margaritas on the table only improves the atmosphere!

Ox
Hungry as an

The color green is known to promote peace, healing and balance. According to the dictates of Feng Shui, surrounding yourself with plenty of green will not only soothe your spirit, but also help strengthen and cleanse your physical self.

Put Some Green in Your Scene

Place fresh, healthy plants around your house, and sleep on green sheets to make all your happy, prosperous dreams come true! Healers often recommend visualizing yourself surrounded by a big ball of green light during times of anxiety and/or illness. To do this, close your eyes and inhale that green light into your whole being, "watching" as it flows into your mouth and circulates through your entire self. As you exhale this light, watch it carry away all the impurities and imbalances in your system as you say goodbye to these stressors for good!

Green is also a great color for kids' bedrooms because of its

By working with energies of each of the 12 signs of the zodiac, you can affect every major part of your body -- from your Aries-ruled head to your Pisces-ruled feet. Each Sun sign has a personal affirmation to offer if you're looking to regain that ever-elusive flow between mind, body and spirit.

Aries: "I am."
If you need to take more initiative in your life and put yourself first instead of constantly taking care of everyone else, then work with Aries -- especially if you suffer from headaches, anger, lethargy, irritability or depression. Blocked energy equals wrinkles and aging.

Taurus: "I have."
If you suffer from sore throats, stiff neck, or weak voice, this is a good sign to work with. And if money or food issues are a constant concern, consider Taurus your patient and helpful guide!

Gemini: "I think."
Work with Gemini if you suffer from anxiety, nervousness or simply boredom. This sign increases versatility while promoting youthfulness and quick brain activity. If you have

Famous Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung developed the concept of the "animus" to better understand the inner masculine side of women. In astro-speak, we often link the inner masculine side to a woman's Sun sign. Does this have anything to do with the kind of man one might be attracted to? You bet it does ...

Aries
Forget about someone killing you softly. This man had better be ready to take you, caveman-style. An Aries animus reeks of raw, heroic power -- the kind of man who will barge in, seize the moment and save his damsel from distress, all while leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
Aries Animus: Marlon Brando, James Garner, Russell Crowe, Alec Baldwin

Taurus
This man had better understand all the nooks and crannies involved in sensual pleasure when it comes to magnetizing a Taurus woman. Her inner male counterpart wrote the book on celebrating the body beautiful. With a voice like velvet and a rock-of-Gibraltar personality, nothing short of the perfect gentle beast will do

The roar of the Tiger ushers in the Lunar New Year on February 14, which by chance this year lands on Valentine's Day as well. And what every woman wants to know is, "Will my Valentine's Day be filled with love, romance ... and good sex?" Using the wisdom of Chinese astrology, here are some insights to help you optimize your Valentine's Day sexual experience!

A lesser known fact about this year's Chinese New Year is that February 14 falls in -- and is colored by -- the Month of the Tiger and the Day of the Sheep. Moreover, according to the Chinese Almanac, it's a good day for sexual activity ... and a bad day to get married. Seems like everyone's in for a steamy night!

So what does this all mean for you? A double-Tiger day means you're in for a wild ride, regardless of your sign. Expect high levels of energy, titillation, passion and excitement. Throwing in a little Sheep sign adds an element of contradiction, as the Sheep's influence represents the ultimate female persona: romantic,
