Aries (March 21 - April 19) As you try to find your pruning shears today, you may stumble over a billion screwdrivers and a rake instead. Instead of snipping the deadheads off of your rose bush, take a day to organize your tool shed and get your supplies in order.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Whenever you're sick, your housemate steps in to cook dinner. And if you miss a week of watering your plants, you housemate always picks up the slack. Return the favor today -- do something nice to show your appreciation for the valuable role this person plays in your life.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) While it's fun to grow the same flowers year after year, watch them open up and bloom like old friends, it's also exciting to witness transformation. Reserve an area of your yard for experimental gardening and try something new each season.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) So you seem to like the same cereal accompanied by a cup of coffee with precise amounts of cream and sugar every day. Let yourself change with the seasons. Alter your routine and play around with the things you know you like, but open yourself up to surprises as well.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) With a series of extension cords and some folding chairs, you'll surely dazzle your housemates and friends with your innovative outdoor theater tonight. The evenings are warm and the lights are twinkling -- cozy up with a loved one and enjoy the transformation of your own humble yard.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Although some gardeners in your neighborhood use miracle growing aids and other bells and whistles to make their plants grow, you're a purist at heart. Your tomatoes may not be as huge and spectacular, but their taste will surely be sweeter.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) The nighttime provides a perfect window for you and your housemates to lounge and connect. Sit in the warm evening air, or perhaps just play a card game around an outdoor table. Enjoy the setting that your home provides on these simple, beautiful nights.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) If you stay aware of trends this week, you won't fall into the pit of remorse. Hot pink may be the color that moves you at the moment, but chances are you won't want it to be the color of your curtains next month.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Be a part of your community this week and place your hand-crafted specialty items on the market or in clear view of others to see. Whether you're selling handmade vases or showing off your berry preserves, let the world appreciate how talented you really are.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) The household appreciates your money-saving schemes, but these plans occasionally leave you in the lurch. While painting the house doesn't seem that difficult, this is precisely the kind of thing that money can and should buy.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Don't underestimate the value of an immaculately clean kitchen. Marvel at the shiny counter; the gleam of the fixtures will draw you to the kitchen. You can hardly wait to get back in there and make a mess again.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) An unexpected rainstorm may ruin your garage sale, or a drop-in visit from a friend may thwart your next creative venture. Don't let these things ruin your day -- get creative and work around the solutions. Try a garage sale that's actually in the garage or collaborate on a project with a friend.
