Aries (March 21 - April 19) It's a good day to finalize documents. If you've done the research and gotten several estimates, go ahead and confirm the deal. Feel confident in finalizing plans with contractors or even in making a commitment to yourself that you want to start such a major project.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Bird songs are in the air and you want to encourage more chirping in your yard. It's important to keep bird feeders clean, as they can easily spread disease. Clean feeders about once a month with a spray-bottle mixture of one part bleach and ten parts water. Let the mixture sit, then rinse well.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Take a break from working in the yard to gather a little inspiration for your home and garden at your local museum or art gallery. Pay particular attention to depictions of spring, garden scenes and the way the light plays in the paintings or photographs.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Renovations are underway and you and your housemates have been thinking about how to decorate. You've always envisioned tile in the hallway, but your housemate reveals that she finds the idea of carpet really cozy. Your domestic bliss may be challenged today -- it will soon blow over.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Others will agree, it's a great day to work in the garden, so rally up the troops. Maybe friends who don't have outdoor space would like to pitch in and get their hands dirty. Give them jobs like planting seeds so they can come back another time and appreciate the growth.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Multitasking is a piece of cake for you today. You flit around from pruning the evergreens to repotting geraniums, and you may even think about re-staining the porch. The problem is, you can't expect everyone helping out to be so multifaceted. When directing, dole out specific tasks.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You've spent so much time in your yard that you're beginning to lose all perspective. You may be having a hard time appreciating what you've done and seeing what you've yet to do. Pack up a picnic and go to the park. Enjoy the nature around you that doesn't require any of your hard work!
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) The meal you cooked last night just wouldn't have been the same without the benefit of the fresh herbs. Make it your mission to cultivate a world-class herb garden and, just for the fun of it, plant a few varieties that you seldom use.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Today is a particularly pleasant day, and you feel light and airy -- you almost feel like dancing. Classical music may be beneficial for your houseplants, but what about taking a radio outside while you're gardening? Stick with something soft and instrumental.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Tonight would be ideal for visiting the symphony or going to see a live concert. Try not to talk with others during the show, just let yourself get carried away in the moment. Your mind will wander and meditate, coming across inspirations for your home that you wouldn't have expected.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) If you're going to a social gathering at someone's home tonight, be careful to avoid the tendency to be aloof. Something may rub you the wrong way (let's hope it's not spilled wine), but try to shake it off and connect with people nonetheless.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You're feeling rather attached to the old adage 'out with the old and in with the new.' Before you start dragging home new treasures, it might be time for a yard sale. Start going through your closets now and you'll be ready for next weekend.
