How the stars take a day off
From adrenaline-drenched adventure to a spot of spring-cleaning, each sign has its own perfect day off
Aries
Fiery Aries is full of combustible energy that has to be burned off, no matter what. The Ram loves extreme entertainment, so a typical day off might include a leisurely two-hour hike up Mount Everest followed by a flight to New York for a night of dancing and revelry in all the coolest clubs.
Taurus
A day off for steady, sensual Taurus always involves two factors - food consumption and maintaining a horizontal position. Whether that means floating lazily on a raft in a pool with beer and crisps within easy reach, or snuggling up in bed with a great novel and a bowl of ice cream or her sweetheart and a bowl of whipped cream, the Bull loves to indulge in all the creature comforts.
Gemini
Where can you find Geminis on their day off? Talking nineteen-to-the-dozen. They'll start the day by reading their favourite newspapers in a number of languages before they meet friends to start discussing - and arguing about - everything from Harry Potter to world peace.
Cancer
On her day off, Cancer likes to just stay at home. Sounds dull? Not to the Crab. Home-lovers that they are, they're in the kitchen baking cakes and marinating those chicken legs for the barbecue they're planning. Better get lots of food - Cancer has probably invited the whole family, including aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, pets, step-pets...
Leo
Leo the Lion likes to take his family or partner to a play on his day off. The tickets are generous Leo's treat, and they're bound to be good seats - it's nothing but front row centre for this Lion. Don't be surprised if you glance over in the middle of the play and catch dramatic Leo mouthing the lead actor's lines.
Virgo
Industrious Virgo might just use her day off to get a bit of extra cleaning done. There's nothing like the feeling of standing in the middle of a freshly scrubbed kitchen, floors gleaming and smelling of pine, the spices in alphabetical order in their rack and all the coffee mugs hanging on brand new hooks, arranged according to the colours of the rainbow.
Libra
Lovely Libra has been to the museum a million times; for something new on her day off she'll hit an art opening at a fashionable new gallery. Libra loves to munch on crudites and sip a glass of champagne while perusing the paintings - and so much the better if she happens to 'accidentally' bump into an attractive stranger and strike up a conversation about the artwork.
Scorpio
Scorpio takes a day off in style by first visiting all the trendiest boutiques, shopping for that special something that will make her outfit complete. Then she'll dress up to the nines - feather boa, knee-high leather boots and snakeskin (anything is possible) - and spend the evening out clubbing, with gorgeous strangers clamouring for attention.
Sagittarius
High-stepping Sagittarius wants to step out on her day off. A day-trip anywhere will satisfy the urge to roam - temporarily, anyway. In the morning she'll pack up some sandwiches and some fruit, and then, whether by plane, train, automobile or mountain bike, she'll be looking for adventure.
Capricorn
How does Capricorn spend her day off? Well, she spends it at the office, of course. At least, part of her day off; she just has to get ahead on those reports due late next year... But, with the right approach, Sea Goats can be convinced to get out and have a little fun - just be persistent and assure them it's your treat.
Aquarius
Aquarius spends her day off in the workshop or studio, perfecting that model she's been building or painting that picture - or whatever technological or artistic wonder she's been tinkering with lately. If she finishes the project, well, then it's off to the hobby shop or electronics store for more supplies to start the next thing.
Pisces
Dreamy Pisces spends her day off out in the garden sipping iced tea with mint sprigs under the lemon tree, appreciating the tangy citrus scent in the air and the soft buzzing of the bees that hover over the flowers, while composing a poem about the strangely scary yet compelling dream she had the night before...
