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 colors. The fiery Mars or Mangal, your ruling planet, suggests two primary colors for this Holi - red and yellow. Using these two colors 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 favorable one. Red symbolizes 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 colors, 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 colors; 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 colors is finally here. This day proves favorable for you in more ways than one. Your ruling planet Venus or Shukra ensures that. So, wear white, the purest of the pure color, 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 colors 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 Taurians 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 colors 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 color green associated with your sign, bestows happiness, ends enmity and strengthens relations. Your element Air gets invigorated by the purple color. This color signifies majesty and royalty. So, make these two your primary colors for this day. When using these colors, 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 color to the forehead of your lover. Doing so gels the two hearts together - yours and his or hers. However, avoid wet variety of colors, as these negate the goodness of your auspicious shades. Purple and green herbal gulals are the best. Also using healthy color 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 colors 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 color that you should wear on this day. The whiter it is the better. This bestows peace and fulfills desires. The other auspicious colors are blue and green. These two colors 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 colors. Avoid red and orange colors as they cause mood swings, which have the potential of spoiling even the most perfect day. Using blue and green colors 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 colors on your lover and shun unhygienic chemical-laden colors.

Leo- (July 23-Aug 22)
The lion or lioness in you exhibits full leadership qualities on this festival of colors. This is because Sun or Surya, your ruling planet, keeps you energized and enthused through the use of golden and orange colors. Like the searing, but purifying rays of the Sun, these colors enhance your authority. So, you would not find it difficult to lord over people on this day. Add two more colors - 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 color (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 colors 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 colors - orange and purple. These colors are that of the Earth, the element of your sign. Remember, these colors are for you to play with; others can apply whatever colors they want on you. The day proves special, as you meet your perfect partner, albeit with face under layers of colors! There is instant rapport and even the married amongst you start having second thoughts! Purple is the color 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 colors, 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 color to go in for this Holi. Not only does this color augment romantic feelings, but does much to boost your bank balance too! One more color that you can add in your repertoire this Holi is saffron. This sacred color 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 colors, but smear his or her face with pink and saffron. Do not hesitate to let him or her douse you with buckets full of colored water. However, discourage the use of harmful colors 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 colors 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 favorably and brings out the true shades of your nature - red and yellow. Add to these the blue and green colors of Water, the element of your sign, and you have a variety of colors that works wonders for you. Since red and yellow symbolize 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 colors on the body. This is the way to get him or her under your 'spell'. However, all these colors need to be in gulal form to be effective and only healthy colors have the desired effect.

Sagittarius- (November 22-December 21)
This festival of colors 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 color to use on this day is yellow, which stands for tolerance and authority. This color increases happiness and prosperity. Its effect is doubled, as yellow, along with red, is also the color 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 color is the dry tesu flowers, which you can simply shower. Strictly avoid chemical-laden colors.

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 colors. 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 colors 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 color with boot polish. Most preferable are gulals, but you can go in for the wet variety too. All the colors 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 favorable influence of Saturn or Shani that bestows you with the power of molding your own destiny. So, black is the color that is most suited for you on this day, as it provides you with both faithfulness and detachment. The other recommended color is pink that provides comfort and luxury. When applying these colors ensure that you do not use any other color. Air, the element of your sign, gets strengthened by the color 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 colors on the body. Do not use unhealthy colors. Herbal or homemade colors 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 colors 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, is 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 colors. Reserve yellow for the cheeks. However, under no circumstances must you use black or any other dark color on him or her. As far as possible, avoid wet colors too, as they may dampen your spirit. Purity wins, so avoid use of chemical-laden colors. Herbal gulals are an excellent option.
