ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20)When your Aries dad is poking fun or picking a fight with you, believe it or not, he is saying that he loves you. Aries dads like action-oriented contests of any sort, and they often show their affection by urging you to flex your own competitive muscles. You can rest assured that despite his jostling and wrangling, your Aries dad is always on your team.

TAURUS (Apr. 21 - May 21)The Taurus father is the strong silent type who will never let you down. Sure, he might not give you the extra $10 you want for your big night out at the movie theater, but he will pick you up afterwards at the very moment he said he would. One unique aspect to the Taurus dad is that he is one of the few fathers who you can actually trust to go clothes shopping with. Top-notch quality is virtually assured.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)There is never a dull moment when your Gemini dad is in the room. He is the one cracking jokes, telling stories, and doing his best to get to know every single one of your friends. He'll want to know all the juicy gossip on everyone you hang out with, so get ready to disclose everything. Doing so is worth your while. He'll give you solid advice that's actually helpful.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)Cancer dads are more like mothers than fathers in some way, although they may try to hide this fact by trying to appear tough and callous. The real truth is that they are big teddy bears. Breaking through their shell may not be easy, but it's worth it, for inside you will find a treasure chest of warm sensitivity and receptivity. Cancer dads might be moody but they will be the most loyal friend you'll ever have.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22)Your Leo dad may act more like the child than the parent, and this is not something that is going to change as time goes by. You may find that your dad becomes more like a kid as he gets older. The Leo dad is the kind of dad who is easy to be friends with. The problem is getting him to leave your party rather than worrying about him putting an end to your party. This king of the forest loves to be honored, and Father's Day is made for Leo dads.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)When you find your Virgo dad worrying about you constantly, calling you every hour on the hour to find out your location, it's not because he doesn't trust you, it's only because he loves you - and because he is the biggest worrier on the planet. Ease his mind by giving him a detailed itinerary at the beginning of the night telling him where you will be and who you will be with. He'll have it dialed into his Palm Pilot.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)Listen carefully to your Libra dad - his jokes are subtle, and if you aren't quick, you might miss them the first time around. Stay tuned into his under-the-breath comments and you are in for a barrel of laughs. One other bonus - your Libra dad is one you can actually trust when picking out your outfit for the night. He'll tell you what looks good and what doesn't. Trust him.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)You won't get a more loyal or supportive father than your Scorpio dad. He will always be there for you - no matter how much trouble you might get in. He's the type who will fix your car, install smoke alarms in your house - and bail you out of jail. Although his feelings are wild and extreme, one emotion is certain and steadfast: his unwavering, intense love for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)Sagittarians are a fun bunch, and your dad is no exception. He isn't one for setting limits since he has a hard time doing that for himself. He is the kind of dad who will take you to the racetrack and give you an advance on your allowance so that you can have some fun with it. Your Sagittarian dad is much more than your father. He is your best friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)Your Capricorn dad is a hard worker, and sometimes it may be hard to feel his love for you since he is so caught up in his work. Just remember that the reason he is working so hard is for you and your happiness. He wants you to have everything you could possibly want - and more. He takes his fatherly role very seriously and considers it his most important job.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)Your dad is one of a kind, and yes - his outrageous outfits and erratic behavior will indeed scare and embarrass you and your friends. Oh well - you've got to love him, for he is just being himself - and you can't get down on him for that. More than anything else, he will encourage you to be independent and freethinking. Yours is the kind of dad who will teach you to think outside of the box.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)Just because your Pisces dad forgets to pick you up at the designated meeting spot doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. It merely is a reflection of his sometimes spaced-out mentality toward life. He likes to be in the clouds, so let him take you there. Fishing, painting, and boating are all good activities for you and your Piscean dad to enjoy together. One-on-one time is important for you and your dreamy dad.
