Aries (March 21 - April 19) Making dinner for your parents once a week is a chore you look forward to after all they gave up for you. Adjusting to making it at their house because they cannot travel due to poor eyesight will require you to learn a new kitchen, not rearrange the placement of plates and dry goods in the cupboards.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) It is frustrating going to make a salad or chopping carrots for a stew and finding they don't look so good. Vegetable storage bags will keep fresh veggies crispy much longer. But if your greenery does go limp, try making a stew out of it.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You may find yourself dissatisfied with your surroundings. After all, the climate you live in now is the opposite of what you grew up in. Join a garden club and you'll meet folk who will fill your sense of loss with fun and flowers.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Natural colors and texture imbue your home with a feeling of tranquility. Plaster surfaces need to breathe, but you can treat them with beeswax to give them a delightful sheen.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Alfalfa, mung beans and bean sprout will not only look pretty on your kitchen windowsill, they will provide an alternative to lettuce on your sandwiches. The best part is they need only be rinsed with water about twice a day.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) A normal vase filled with roses offends your burgeoning artist eye today. Fake fabric asparagus and silk roses make an unusual yet pleasant display in the mouth of an oval copper pot.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your dreams of elegance are finally real. It is exciting to take up piano lessons as an adult on a supremely adult instrument. The most graceful arrangement for a grand piano is obvious, straight side to the wall.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Power wash your deck before the big party and you will be amazed at the dirt that comes off. Your guests will remark that you have a new deck.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Use climbing vines to create an air of mystery and secrets in your garden bower. This is a project your lover will be fascinated to help you undertake, as it will bring you close together.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) A dip on your life path today is an opportunity for expansive growth. A dip in the yard where water often runs can be lined with stones or a small bridge built over it as a design element. Paths and structures create the bones of any garden.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Getting involved means opening your mouth, especially when it comes to the school's parent teacher organization. You have a right to your researched opinion but tact will go a long way toward selling it.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) A light installed over the kitchen sink would help you mother -- who has ever said she has no use for automatic dishwashers -- to get her dishes cleaner. Be gentle yet firm: it's probably time for a visit to the eye doctor.
