Aries (March 21 - April 19) Take back power over your time. You could spend your whole life reading and deleting what has been called 'great time suck' e-mails. Plan a block or two of time each day to answer them so they are not running your life.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Wood matches wood. Do not fret if your beech bookshelves do not match your oak coffee table and your mahogany entertainment center. Be grateful for the sturdiness of your furniture. You have come a long way from yard sale chic!
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) The six extra granny squares do not mean you can't count. They mean that you need to tie them together with a ribbon and give them to a friend who is feeling blue as coaster. Follow your intuition when it comes to matters of the heart.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You can do a lot with a little help from a friend today. Your first apartment and an old but sturdy couch that is u-g-l-y. You have the power to grab some canvas, snag a fellow art student and paint a big, bold design on the canvas. Unbox your sewing machine and before you know it you will have a new and most impressive couch cover.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Although the packaging may be old, there is still much beauty to be found -- this is the lesson of today. A battered-tin cup makes an excellent vase for just the top part of a stem or three of gladiolas.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Aspirin has more uses that just relieving the headache. Prolonging the life of cut flowers is easy to do, even when the commercial preparation that came with the arrangement is gone. Half of a soluble aspirin to one pint of water helps keep the water free of bacteria.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) The sight of horses in the corral near your home perks you up. Visit this neighbor even though it is blocks away. And while you're at it, bring a treat for the ponies and flowers to thank your new acquaintances for their unknown sharing of peaceful feelings.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Continue the romance this weekend. Make heart-shaped cookies with your children and plan a night on the town later with the love of your life. A day filled with the people you love will keep the good vibes going.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) It is not red roses that blue ladies need. It is a partner who is attentive, loving and follows through. Care for your own psyche today and bring home the flowers in the hues, fragrance and buds of your choice. Grace your bedside table with the posies so they are the first thing you see when you open your eyes.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Explaining how all the remotes work to your wife, again, will take your last bit of patience. Consider buying a universal remote. The easier things are on the home front, the better you'll feel in general.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Ask lots of questions today. While you have that contractor over to look at injecting insulation in your attic and adding a real floor, you may as well get a quote on expanding the downstairs of your home with an extra room.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Stopping on a whim to look at a house that is for sale is worthwhile today because you know just what your basic requirements are. Outside walls plus a window in each room aids cross ventilation. Even though it's still winter, this layout will be important in the summer.
