Have you ever been to New Orleans during the Mardi Gras celebration? I have been there, but not during the festival they are best known for. From what I've been told, however, it's quite fabulous, and I would love to hear of your personal experiences there. This year Fat Tuesday is March 5th, just as a reminder to everyone out there.
In the meantime, here are some general ideas of things you can do to make things more special for you while you are there. These have been taken from Mardi Gras Celebrations for Your Sign. I hope you have a chance to give them a try and see if you love them or not. I make no promises, but I hope you do. A happy crowd is a good crowd, after all!
Let's begin with the first sign of the zodiac as we always do, none other than Aries, of course! You will be right at the center of the party, celebrating like no one ever has before you, no limits or inhibitions about anything. And why not? Like Christmas, Mardi Gras only comes once a year after all!
Taurus is known for their artistic talents, so I'm sure designing floats would be something you might be good at if the Bull is your sign. You will probably especially love the tasty treats to be enjoyed later, and they get better the more effort you put into your brilliant ideas!
If you are a Gemini you are there mainly for the conversation. I am sure you will find plenty of people to share your knowledge and chat with, and I hope you learn something new, too!
If your sign is Cancer (like me), you will want to bake the King Cake and other delights for the day. There's nothing better than Cajun food in my opinion, and I urge you to give this a try as this will bring out your maternal nature and make everyone love you!
The article claims that the Mardi Gras flag was created in Leo's image and they are the grand rulers of the Mardi Gras and deserve all of that food that was baked! I don't see any reason to argue, so have at it!
Virgo, you know yourself that you would love to help with the parade route. Well, if that's your thing you should have at it. True perfectionists never fail, am I right?
Libra, you social people are sure to have fun at the Mardi Gras as it's a very social, tailor-made event for you. If there's a party you have to be there, after all!
There's a lot you can do when you're in disguise, and you are bound to go incognito if your sign is Scorpio. Sounds like true calling to me.
Sagittarius is adventurous, but they might enjoy this festivity more in a location better than New Orleans since they are so unique and one of a kind. Guatemala was just one of the interesting selections for you, so explore on your own!
If you are a Capricorn you might begin your adventure a bit uptight. Fortunately, a little liquor could go a long way in helping you enjoy!
As an Aquarius, you know about the terrible damage done to the city by Hurricane Katrina and no doubt want to help. After you're done you are sure to be socialising and having a wonderful time, and you earned it!
Pisces, you love this celebration as much as anyone. Find a way to have the time of your life as long as you don't go over the edge.
One thing is for sure - whatever your sign, you'll have a great time! See you next month!
