Aries (March 21 - April 19) Your affability overcomes obstacles, wins friends and influences decisions. Use that to woo your partner or friends into a late-evening dip in the hot tub.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Prepare the one you love for an afternoon's delight of unimaginably decadent romance. Set the scene with as many candles as you can find, strew the bed sheets with rose petals and chill champagne or sparkling cider beside the bed.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Mind your own business when busybodies chatter at the neighborhood meeting. It is alright to remind them that you have limitations on how much time you devote to their committees.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Regrets are for others. Embrace now by living out a decorating fantasy. Paint your room bright green, cover the sofa in red velvet or buy that dream range. Life is too short to wonder 'what if?'
Leo (July 23 - August 22) A show of arrogance to authority won't get you home sooner, but tact and politeness might. Once home, refrain from greedily overindulging in fattening comfort foods. Instead, satisfy your appetite with baked salmon and a fresh salad.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Domestic travel plans center around a national park you've never visited. Include others in your thought processes. Ask don't guess whether a bed and breakfast or a hotel will better be able to handle your multi-age group.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Make the guest quarters ready because company is coming to test the hospitality for which you are renowned. Air the pillows outside if the weather allows. Turn down the sheets. Leave a bottle of water by the bed. Your courtesy will be rewarded.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Nothing in worthwhile in life is awarded without some effort. If you want to see the immediate results of your labor, rake and bag the leaves in your yard. Mulch your perennials to carry them through the winter.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Dishes break, even special dessert cups. Deal with the clean-up and concentrate on the fact that your children were acting with the spontaneous desire to help with household chores to make you happy.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Being faithful to your ideals is important for economic success. Nobody taught you to be a good provider for yourself; you learned it in the school of life. Share your wisdom by writing a book.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Friends compliment your peculiar taste for macabre, foreign horror flicks. Their screams of frightful delight as they gather around the popcorn bowl in your screening room make you proud of the surround sound system you installed.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Soft words are necessary as you and your partner come to a compromise over his desire to keep the overstuffed chair from his bachelor days and your desire to make room for a couch in the living room. Matching modern recliners could be a solution.
