Aries (March 21 - April 19) Although you want to turn around and head back out the door when you hear your housemates wrestling over a well-worn issue, stick around. You can handle this, and you may even surprise yourself with your subtle and welcomed diplomacy.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Feel free to unleash your vigor on the weeds, but don't let that surge of determination dull your common sense. Remember to wear a hat and gloves, drink plenty of water and stop every once in awhile to stretch. Some basic yoga poses will keep you in shape for tomorrow.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Stay in tune with your gardening partner today -- they've got a suggestion worth hearing, especially since you decided to plant the tomatoes and the peppers. Imagine the fabulous recipes you'll create with the colorful fruits of your labors.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Your housemate's idea to build a slug hotel, complete with a welcome mat, pushes your sense of humor beyond its limits. And although your snail-handling ideas may differ, you need to take action on your project before it's too late.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Your neighbor's nephew shows up with a big truck just when you need to transport your sofa to the second-hand store. Whether it's transportation, a recipe, advice or assistance, be open to the offer and your needs will be met.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Choose a couple of big tasks in the garden today -- multi-tasking won't go over well and you'll be left longing for that feeling of accomplishment and reward. Instead of making a dent in several goals, vow to cross one or two items off of your list.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You could do cartwheels from weed to weed as you work on your garden today. Your energy knows no bounds. But, avoid major projects; by afternoon you'll be ready for some cool lemonade on the porch and a chat with a friend into the cricket-filled evening.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Leave the color swatches in the drawer and visit the bulk-food section only if you have a concrete shopping list. Deciding what to listen to on the radio is a difficult enough choice today; postpone major decisions until early next week.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Take your phone on a little walk in your garden or to a comfy, stuffed chair on your porch. With the benefit of technology, you can call your family from your special outdoor space. Be sure to describe the sights and sounds that surround you.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Your plans to keep the birdsongs of spring alive and well in your yard begin with the construction of the pink, multi-level avian palace. Even if your creation is modest, it's a great day to start an ambitious project. Just don't get ahead of yourself -- you can't finish this one in a day.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Visit a museum today to gather little tidbits of ideas for your home. Stroll around the design and architecture section, noticing curves and lines. Gaze at the mobiles and contemplate balance. Become aware of shades of white and of negative space.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Last season's garden was fabulous, but this year, you'll take those stylish green thumb ideas over the top. Marry outrageous combinations of greenery and decor. Let yourself go with three kinds of peas, twirling vines and sweet-pea flowers.
