Aries
(March 21-April 19)
Fun-filled Holi is here! It is that time of the year, when goodwill is exchanged by smearing each other with colours. The fiery Mars or Mangal, your ruling planet, suggests two primary colours for this Holi - red and yellow. Using these two colours satiates the Fire element of your sign and not only makes this festival enjoyable, but also brings immense benefits. So, expect the day to be a favourable one. Red symbolises truth and power, and yellow, tolerance and authority. Together these prove highly beneficial on the work front. What's more, on this joyous occasion, you are able to spot the hero or heroine of your dreams that you had endlessly yearned for! So, do not pass up the opportunity to smear the one you have secretly given your heart to with these two colours, especially on the face. Red brings passion to the fore and yellow helps in binding the hearts. Exercise caution as there is a possibility of rubbing the one you love the wrong way by making a rash move. And yes, use only healthy colours; you wouldn't want him or her to get saddled with a bad case of rashes. |

Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
The much-awaited festival of colours is finally here. This day proves favourable for you in more ways than one. Your ruling planet Venus or Shukra ensures that. So, wear white, the purest of the pure colour, on this day. By doing so, you offer a fresh canvas for the myriad hues to express themselves better on your person. White is also spiritually uplifting and keeps you morally pure and clean. Avoid dark and patterned clothes on this day. For the love sick, orange and purple are the colours of the day, as they bring pleasure and happiness. The two together take you towards wealth and prosperity. On this special day, putting orange on the face and purple on the body satiates Earth, the element of your sign, and helps secure the one you love to the terra firma. Since you are generally tall and appear a bit intimidating, a soft approach is recommended, especially in the matters of the heart. Lovers would play it safe, if they tow the Taurean line to avoid their explosive temper. They certainly wouldn't want to end up black and blue, instead of orange and purple! And using healthy colours helps you in keeping cool. |

Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
For the effervescent Gemini, Holi is always a special day. This is one occasion when your dual personality is in full bloom and delights everyone around you. The influence of your ruling planet, Mercury or Budh, brings you into the limelight. The colour green associated with your sign, bestows happiness, ends enmity and strengthens relations. Your element Air gets invigorated by the purple colour. This colour signifies majesty and royalty. So, make these two your primary colours for this day. When using these colours, count on green to bestow harmony, health, peace and posterity, and purple to enhance your powers of communication, giving you instant popularity. It would be most surprising if romantic thoughts do not cross a Geminian's mind! They always do, whatever be the occasion and Holi is one such great occasion! You are assured of a great time, if you apply purple colour to the forehead of your lover. Doing so gels the two hearts together - yours and his or hers. However, avoid wet variety of colours, as these negate the goodness of your auspicious shades. Purple and green herbal gulals are the best. Also using healthy colour enhances purity, manifold. |

Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
This is one festival that a Cancerian awaits with bated breath. No, it is not only the colours that give you a high, but the mouth-watering Holi culinary specialties! Such is the effect of the Moon or Chandrama, your ruling planet. This is because the Moon rules the mind and contributes to imagination. Like the purifying moonbeam, white is the colour that you should wear on this day. The whiter it is the better. This bestows peace and fulfills desires. The other auspicious colours are blue and green. These two colours enhance the effect of Water, your element. While blue calms, and helps to keep the mind cool and focused, green is excellent for health and vitality. The two together add a new dimension to this festival of colours. Avoid red and orange colours as they cause mood swings, which have the potential of spoiling even the most perfect day. Using blue and green colours help in bringing together the loving hearts on this special day. On this day, your lover reciprocates your loving gestures in full measure. Apply only herbal and healthy colours on your lover and shun unhygienic chemical-laden colours. |

Leo
(July 23-Aug 22)
The lion or lioness in you exhibits full leadership qualities on this festival of colours. This is because Sun or Surya, your ruling planet, keeps you energised and enthused through the use of golden and orange colours. Like the searing, but purifying rays of the Sun, these colours enhance your authority. So, you would not find it difficult to lord over people on this day. Add two more colours - red and yellow - to these and you enjoy vivacity, grace and plain sex appeal. Docility is not one of your virtues. Expect all your initiatives on this day to be met in equal measure! But, don't worry all this adds to the fun of the occasion. With overflowing warmth and disarming smile, you do manage to find your lover on this day. This is the right opportunity to take the reins of romance in your hand. So, apply golden colour (not the permanent type) to the cheeks of your lover. This adds strength to relations, not to mention the glow to his or her face! Permit only red and yellow to be applied on your face and that too in herbal colours to enhance passions. |

Virgo
(August 23-September 22)
Holi is the occasion that you wait for so eagerly. This is the time of the year when Mercury or Budh brings oodles of fun and gaiety at your doorstep. Although you are docile, you are precise to the point of bluntness. So, to keep the relations on a strong wicket and end enmity, play Holi with only two colours - orange and purple. These colours are that of the Earth, the element of your sign. Remember, these colours are for you to play with; others can apply whatever colours they want on you. The day proves special, as you meet your perfect partner, albeit with face under layers of colours! There is instant rapport and even the married amongst you start having second thoughts! Purple is the colour to use on such persons. The neck and shoulders are the perfect places to begin with. The ideal place for orange is the head, so don't shy away from doing champi with orange gulal on the head of your loved one! Just one word of caution, do not use chemical-laden colours, as apart from being unhealthy, they fail to have the desired effect. |

Libra
(September 23-October 22)
You, with good advice and scales of justice in your hand, are in for a scintillating time this Holi. Remain in spotless white on this day and see happiness surround you. This is because Venus or Shukra, your ruling planet, has benign influence on you, but only if you remain in pure white. With your element Air asserting its presence, pink is the colour to go in for this Holi. Not only does this colour augment romantic feelings, but does much to boost your bank balance too! One more colour that you can add in your repertoire this Holi is saffron. This sacred colour is most auspicious for Librans to play with. If you are romantically inclined, this day can prove to be a bonus of sorts. Your sweet mannerisms and lovely grace get reciprocated and there is every chance of love blossoming between you and your dream guy or gal. To ensure you get him or her, play Holi with all the colours, but smear his or her face with pink and saffron. Do not hesitate to let him or her douse you with buckets full of coloured water. However, discourage the use of harmful colours and opt for herbal ones. |

Scorpio
(October 23-November 21)
Brace yourself as this Holi is going to be like none other. This festival of colours makes this a perfect occasion - less restricting and providing more opportunities to the ambitious Scorpios! The fiery Mars or Mangal exercises its influence on you favourably and brings out the true shades of your nature - red and yellow. Add to these the blue and green colours of Water, the element of your sign, and you have a variety of colours that works wonders for you. Since red and yellow symbolise power, you would be able to bring everyone under your sway. There is ample opportunity of getting even with a person you had been wanting to for a long time. On the romantic front, your charm attracts swarms of people of the opposite sex, but your X-ray vision isolates the one truly for you. But keeping him or her under your influence is another ball game altogether. So, apply red and yellow on his or her cheeks and other colours on the body. This is the way to get him or her under your 'spell'. However, all these colours need to be in gulal form to be effective and only healthy colours have the desired effect. |

Sagittarius
(November 22-December 21)
This festival of colours is set to spread your influence on those who matter. This is because your ruling planet Jupiter or Guru bestows you with the power to apply your knowledge and intelligence. It also provides you with energy and enthusiasm. So, brace yourself for a delightful time! The colour to use on this day is yellow, which stands for tolerance and authority. This colour increases happiness and prosperity. Its effect is doubled, as yellow, along with red, is also the colour of Fire, the element of your sign. Holi proves a happy occasion for Sagittarians seeking love. Although, you are blunt to the point of being rude, there are enough people out there to express their love for you! This day is special as you succeed in homing on to your future lover or partner. Making flattering statements is not your forte, but do try not to be too frank in your observations and opinions with your lover. To ensure he or she remains anchored to you, tenderly apply yellow on his or her cheeks and chin. Of course, the best source for yellow colour is the dry tesu flowers, which you can simply shower. Strictly avoid chemical-laden colours. |

Capricorn
(December 22-January 19)
Expect a time of your life this Holi. This is because your ruling planet, Saturn or Shani, bestows you with happiness and fun. Holi provides you with an opportunity to get what your heart desired, only if you play with black and blue colours. Black rules the night, fulfills desires, brings seriousness and strengthens destiny, while blue imparts a calming effect on the senses and keeps tensions at bay. Add to these orange and purple colours of the Earth, the element of your sign, and you have a palette full of vibrant hues, ready to do wonders to both your home and work fronts. Your charm gets you the one you had been eyeing for long on this Holi. Your light flirtations make your opposite number sit at the top of the world. However, you need to pin him or her up there. For this, apply orange and purple on your lover's face and black and blue on the body. Take care not to substitute the black colour with boot polish. Most preferable are gulals, but you can go in for the wet variety too. All the colours used should preferably be herbal. |

Aquarius
(January 20-February 18)
Holi provides an opportunity for you to meet people you had been wanting to, up, close and personal. This makes your day simply great. You remain under the favourable influence of Saturn or Shani that bestows you with the power of moulding your own destiny. So, black is the colour that is most suited for you on this day, as it provides you with both faithfulness and detachment. The other recommended colour is pink that provides comfort and luxury. When applying these colours ensure that you do not use any other colour. Air, the element of your sign, gets strengthened by the colour purple. Associated with royalty and wealth, purple, along with pink, needs to be used liberally to enhance wealth and prosperity. Those in love are in for a special treat and that is finally finding a lover. Since you hate being confined, the good news is that your newfound love understands this and lets you have your freedom. To make him or her yours for posterity, apply purple on his or her forehead and other colours on the body. Do not use unhealthy colours. Herbal or homemade colours remain a good option. |

Pisces
(February 19-March 20)
You have the ability to put anyone at ease, the reason why everyone looks forward to playing Holi with you. The influence of Jupiter, your ruling planet, is remarkable and prompts you to use yellow on this day. Add to this blue and green, the colours of Water, the element of your sign, and you not only enjoy this day to the hilt, but also attract prosperity and happiness. Your kind nature and total absence of that neurotic streak to dominate everyone makes you the cynosure of any gathering. And it is not just your nature, but your physical attraction too that keeps you surrounded by your potential mates. So, be rest assured that you not only get your lover, but get to play Holi with him or her. To make your mark and tie your lover down, smear his or her forehead with blue and green colours. Reserve yellow for the cheeks. However, under no circumstances must you use black or any other dark colour on him or her. As far as possible, avoid wet colours too, as they may dampen your spirit. Purity wins, so avoid use of chemical-laden colours. Herbal gulals are an excellent option. |
