Aries (March 21 - April 19) You have the ability to be thorough and perseverant today, so finish a project where you left off. The new paint in your bedroom looks great on the surface, but you've always been meaning to tackle the edges with a tiny brush to make them perfect and even. Your satisfaction will be immense.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Allow yourself just the right amount of self indulgence today when you opt for the luxurious version of items you genuinely need for your home. It's time for new sheets and pillows, so why not go for the plushest down, silk, satin and thread counts that will leave you purring.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Spend time in your cozy kitchen with a housemate, and cook delectable and delicate autumn foods like goat-cheese-stuffed mushrooms and pumpkin-creme brule. Your hearts will warm with the feeling of togetherness while sharing stories of past harvest celebrations.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Consider practicality and comfort when choosing your new carpet or floor covering. A little indulgence can go a long way to keeping you happy in front of the fire this winter.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You've been creative with your winter vegetables this year, but now it's time to add cooking in abundance to your attributes. Prepare a gigantic soup or stew with the stragglers of your late autumn garden to feed the masses. Your feelings of generosity and kindness will only be satisfied when everyone you know is full and fulfilled.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) On a recent trip to a Thai restaurant, you noticed a flier for a Thai musical group, or perhaps a Cuban dance night at a community center near you caught your eye. Take your love for foreign food a step further by indulging in a night of music or dancing -- other cultures can serve as great creative motivation today.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You're caught up in the beauty of old-fashioned and simple signs of etiquette: the handwritten invitation, delicate place cards for a dinner party, and thank-you notes in perfumed envelopes. Although you don't need to make these things part of your everyday life -- your creativity is inspired by rarity in modern life.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Try not to become overtly attached to objects. Your bicycle is an amazing companion and your special knife chops with a clean stroke, but try to remember they are inanimate objects, especially when you have a run-in with your housemate involving one of your beloved possessions.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Take a closer look at a painting you picked up at an antiques sale -- notice the tiny details that add so much life to the scene. Likewise, it is the sprinkle of nuts on top of the fresh whipped cream that gives the apple tart that special touch. The miniscule details are sometimes the most important ones.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You can apply your discipline to packing up the tools and lawn furniture for winter -- you may even have energy to put a sturdier fence around the compost. Raking the lingering leaves in the backyard is no problem, but be strict with yourself about taking breaks -- a quick walk in the woods will bring the autumn outdoor day full circle.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Your eccentric great aunt will be an inspiration today as you go through boxes of relics such as scarves, hats and painted dishes. Use her pieces as inspiration to bring splashes of color and pattern into your home. Have tea with mismatched teacups and make scarves into pillow covers.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Sunflowers and poppies may no longer be growing in your garden, but a trip to the local florist can remedy your need for fresh flowers indoors. Indulge yourself with a bouquet and separate out a few stems in order to bring color into multiple rooms of your home.
