Aries (March 21 - April 19) With a big outdoor event coming up this weekend, the entire neighborhood is looking to the skies, wondering what the weather will do. A little monsoon isn't enough to ruin this special day -- so make sure you have the tarps and indoor space available, just in case.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) It's time to test not just your culinary skills but also your patience: get ready to cook for the masses tonight. Break out the biggest pots and pans you have and think of things you can prepare in advance; otherwise you'll be behind the stove all night long.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You're officially out of time, and there's nothing left to do but make the cake from a box mix. You may be sighing as you stir in the oil and the egg, but better to show up with something sweet than with nothing at all. Or, even better, why not order a couple dozen cupcakes from that gourmet bakery?
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Downtime is officially up for interpretation: use it wisely. While others may think of downtime as an excuse to sleep late and move nothing off of their to-do list, you consider it an opportunity to move ahead on your latest creative project. Enlist others to help you finish your tasks.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Take this opportunity to be the strength in your household, comforting others and helping out with any tasks they may be unable to do at the moment. While others in your immediate life may be a bit emotional, you are as even-keeled as a lake on a calm day -- they will draw on your strength for inspiration.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Think about what projects you have in the works and commit to finishing them before you pick up those needles and start a new sweater. Though nothing beats the rush of undertaking a new project, the exhilaration of accomplishment is the best feeling ever -- plus, it's great estimable act.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Use your keen eye and unique aesthetic to help others visualize their living spaces today. Simple suggestions could transform a room, so if you have an idea share it. Better yet, accompany that friend to the home-improvement store for added support. Your input is invaluable.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You have mad skills and awesome ideas. It's time to take your design off of the blueprint and onto the sawhorse: the time has come for you to manifest reality. Lift your pattern away from the graph paper and onto your needles. Make the project you've been dreaming of into a living, breathing reality.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Find an activity where you can use your hands and free your mind if sitting quietly is not quite working for you today. Expertly purl a set of felted placemats or knead dough for a loaf of bread. Let your hands stay busy while your mind works over some long-lingering issues.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) When your housemate seems blue today, your compassionate side wins over, and you'll find yourself sliding him or her a treat you've been saving for yourself across the table. Don't worry -- your small sacrifice will come back to benefit you tenfold.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) How many of your recent goodies are still sitting in their boxes, waiting to be assembled? Sure, you might be able to squeeze a few more purchases on your credit card this month, but think before you buy. Spend some time enjoying and exploring the things that you already have.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Reacquaint yourself with an old friend today. Wipe the dust off the sewing machine you couldn't live without, or rediscover the slow cooker and recall just how practical it can be to prepare your dinner in the morning, then let it simmer all day long. You'll savor the smell of pot roast when you come home tonight.
