Aries (March 21 - April 19)
The military-style jacket is your hot look for 2009, Aries. Despite being ruled by warrior Mars, you'll be welcome at peace rallies in this new version - it's pure fun. This cocky, Sergeant Pepper-inspired look comes in punchy colors like orange, red and electric blue, each festooned with gold buttons. Whether form-fitting or slouchy, pair it with a t-shirt, tight pants and boots.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It isn't always easy to find a look that serves both your romantic and practical needs, Taurus, but you've hit the jackpot in 2009! Delight your ruling planet, Venus, with a techno romantic dress in the colors of love -- pale pink, faded violet, milky white -- paired with a cracked leather belt to give it an edge. Or top a pair of cuffed trousers with a pale, sheer blouse, and add a tailored jacket and chain-link necklace.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
2009 is the year to show off your gorgeous gams, Gemini, in the abundance of fabulous new bright, printed and textured tights. Choose a pair in a knock-'em-dead color like teal, top with a simple knit dress or tailored suit, then add a splashy, multi-colored knit scarf that picks up the same shade of blue. Or honor your playful Mercury ruler with exotic, tattoo-printed tights under a short skirt!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You're a bohemian at heart, Cancer, and the Folk-Boho trend of 2009 is perfect for you. The difference between these folksy styles and those of the past is luxury fabrics like silk charmeuse and wool jersey. Please your feminine Moon ruler with a glammed-up peasant blouse and mid-calf, flouncy skirt with fringed leather boots, then top with a velvet jacket, gold chunky jewelry and metal-studded belt.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
The jewel-encrusted look that suits you so well, Leo, has gotten brighter, bolder and more elegant for 2009. You'll find knee-length, fitted skirts entirely covered in metallic jewels and studs, which look fantastic with a simple, sheer blouse and heels. The Sun, your queenly ruling planet, will shine forth beautifully in an Egyptian-style tunic dress or bold collar necklace fit for Cleopatra herself.
