How to be Irish for a day

by Sally Philips

Everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Why? Because the Irish never get old. Regardless of how many birthdays pass them by, they continue to believe in leprechauns and magical pots of gold, while laughing their troubles away. Here are some ideas for how each Sun sign can be Irish on this happy-go-lucky holiday.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Your child-like energy was made for St. Patty's Day. Look for a pub or parade where you can lose yourself in the music and dancing. Toss your inhibitions to the wind with this Irish saying: "Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening and live every day as if it were your last."

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It's no coincidence that St. Patrick's Day occurs when spring buds are getting ready to burst. In addition to its Catholic origins, it's also rooted in pagan Earth worship. Get a head start on the coming season by performing an Irish jig in a park or forest ... and don't be surprised if you see a leprechaun.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
With your wit and quick tongue, you'll have no trouble impersonating the Irish who love to chase away their worries with jokes. Plan a night out with your friends and tell everyone to bring along some of their favorite knee-slappers. Grab a few gag gifts to give to the best joke-tellers.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Invite your friends and family over for a potluck dinner party where everyone has to bring a green food. To avoid too many salads, broccoli casseroles and green Jell-O ambrosias, assign a category to each guest. Give a prize for the most creative dish.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
The smiling eyes of the Irish are said to be irresistible. No wonder they're known to be some of the world's biggest flirts! You're no stranger to flirting yourself, so turn on your charisma and charm a lad or lassie who strikes your fancy. Don't be afraid to use that great pick-up line -- "Kiss me, I'm Irish!"

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
To attract good health, happiness and fortune in the coming year, why don't you try a little face painting? Make like the Irish and adorn your cheek with a shamrock, the three-leafed clover that is the trademark of the Republic of Ireland. Each petal is said to grant a wish.
