With the Spring Equinox just around the bend, you don't have to be Irish or even drink green beer to get caught up in the spring fever. Mercury is the grand marshal of the celestial St. Patty's Day parade, ending his retrograde nonsense to rain down a confetti pop of luck for all. Cash in your good fortune to become even more hot, luscious and lucky than you already are!

ARIES

Why You're Hot:
You're hot because you're feisty. You don't expect life to be handed to you on platter like Shepherd's pie. You expect that there are things you'll have to fight for -- for instance, a good man -- and you're so sexy when you jump into the ring.

Be More Luscious:
Be more luscious by realizing that battles are sometimes won through seduction instead of aggression.

Get Lucky:
By using both tones. Be direct -- and then be coy. For instance, describe a bit of what you'd like to do with him in the bedroom, then qualify it by saying "I mean, maybe. If you're a very good boy."

TAURUS

Why You're Hot:
Venus declared your hotness on the day you were born, endowing you more than your fair share of sensuality, primal hunger and lust for life. If ever you're having a "blah" experience in the mirror, shake yourself and reclaim your birthright. You're beautiful just because you are.

Be More Luscious:
Since you crave the very best that life has to offer, you're even more luscious when you adorn yourself accordingly. You dress for the role you want, not necessarily the role you have, and in the end you get that role.

Get Lucky:
To land your conquest of the moment, or the love of your life, pay equal attention to internal and external beauty.

GEMINI

Why You're Hot:
You know the secret to charisma. People like people who like them. Yes, you’re witty, charming and lovely. Still, one of your most captivating qualities is that you're a genuine fan of your lover -- and your friends, and the new people you meet. They get addicted to your attention.

Be More Luscious:
Firmly in to with your environment and everyone in it, the connections can drain you over time. Recharging your social batteries is a must for you to stay vibrant. Tip: this requires that you sometimes choose the real world over the virtual world.

Get Lucky:
1. Want. 2. Talk about it. For the sign of communication, luck can be just that simple.

CANCER

Why You're Hot:
Your emotional intelligence makes you hot. It's something you take for granted, this business of knowing your own emotions, but you should realize that it's a gift. Many people don't have the first clue how to put their feelings into words.

Be More Luscious:
Taking the time to soothe yourself when you need it keeps sexy alive. Indulge in a long bath, rub aromatic lotions into your skin and just chill for a few hours with no agenda -- lusciousness restored.

Get Lucky:
… by pouncing when the mood strikes. Your amorous mood has a way of inducing the same in others.

LEO

Why You're Hot:
It's your all-or-nothing policy. When you fall, you fall hard. When you love, you love hard. Passion is the quality that marks your Fire-sign nature. Ok, maybe it's not so much a policy after all, because really you can't help but surrender to the moment. And if that's not hot, what is?

Be More Luscious:
Realize that if you always show your feelings, some will be intimidated or frightened and run off. So put a lid on some of those intense feelings.

Get Lucky:
When it comes to showing your feelings, adopt this mantra: Slow reveal or no reveal. You'll hook 'em every time.

VIRGO

Why You're Hot:
The girl who's got it all going on -- brains, beauty and a big plan (which may or may not be organized on a spreadsheet entitled "My Awesome Life.) Having it all together is not only sexy, it inspires marriage proposals as well!

Be More Luscious:
Resist the urge to run the lives of your romantic hopefuls, no matter how they may seem to need your help. Putting your energy into your own interests, curiosities and goals is always the more attractive move. Lead by example.

Get Lucky:
… by dropping hints. You're such a strong personality that your subtle requests are all that's needed to inspire him to give to you.

LIBRA

Why You're Hot:
Venus, the guardian of hotness, has been on your side all along. To top it off, you were born in the sign of lovers and have a natural inclination toward forming intimate bonds.

Be More Luscious:
By remaining an individual in relationships. Always have your own bank account, your own hobbies and always be your own first source for love.

Get Lucky:
You're the pretty girl no one asks out because they assume she's already busy. Let others know you are available.

SCORPIO

Why You're Hot:
You never had to master the art of building a mystery because you were born a mystery. You're a clue that keeps others clamoring after the answer. You're a taste that has them craving for a whole big bite.

Be More Luscious:
Know when to give up control. Every once in a while, surrender completely to your love -- once you think your love has earned it, of course.

Get Lucky:
Write a love note. Lovers will cherish the chance to know what's on your mind.

SAGITTARIUS

Why You're Hot:
This is a moot point since you are so completely unconcerned with being hot that it only makes you hotter. In a word, it boils down to unselfconsciousness.

Be More Luscious:
Stay impervious to the good opinion of others. Don't follow the trends, set them. When you feel yourself agreeing with someone else's notions of beauty, see if you can't also agree with the opposite opinion, just to keep that gorgeous mind of yours open.

Get Lucky:
See love as an adventure and thrill to the unknowns of it.

CAPRICORN

Why You're Hot:
Social status is an undeniable element of courtship. It's only natural to look for evidence that your prospective partner has social merit. You get this, and you carry yourself in a way that let's everyone around know that you not only have stature, you're royalty.

Be More Luscious:
Don't work so hard -- let them work to get your attention sometimes too. Let yourself be courted.

Get Lucky:
See love as a game and play it strategically. You're good at this.

AQUARIUS

Why You're Hot:
You are idealistic in the best sense of the world. You see the best in others and they not only rise to the occasion, they revere you as an inspiration. Your big heart is what makes you hot.

Be More Luscious:
Nothing stifles you more than other people's ideas of normalcy. However, there is a point in which you have to touch down to earth just to prove that you're real.

Get Lucky:
Share your partner's sense of reality every once in a while and you'll be loved for that.

PISCES

Why You're Hot:
You're an artist and all artists are hot. That's why they get so much more tail than regular folks. The allure of creative people knows no bounds.

Be More Luscious:
Remember that creativity can improve even the most ordinary aspects of life. Just because you don't paint or sing doesn't mean you're not an artist. If you start to lose your artistic touch, indulge your creative sensibility in a simple act like cooking or folding clothes.

Get Lucky:
Make your time spent in self-expression sacred and let nothing, especially not a needy guy -- infringe upon it.
