Aries (March 21 - April 19) You will take lessons in stride today. White carpet and your love of gardening are not exactly the perfect match, but sharing your gardening expertise with your children is. Clogs left outside and doormats on either side of the door should take care of most of the muck.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Pests are a fact of life. You do not have to be a bully to control them from harming what is yours. Cabbage loopers on your collard greens will become small brown moths. Garlic sprays and picking them off by hand will deter these critters.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Your dual nature allows you to revel in the feeling of being a square peg in a round hole because it means you are an innovator. The size and thickness of a button determines the size of the hole you must make for it -- if it's too tight the corners will pull out.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Sewing on a machine, just like using a computer, requires practice, patience and a little know-how. If it is the latter you're lacking, there is sure to be a grandmotherly soul at the local fabric store who gives classes in the basics. Do not hesitate to inquire -- new friendships will surely follow.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Honeyed words are attractive for a reason -- make the most of what you have today. Pull the honey tones out of your oak floor as you go about decorating, and you will achieve rooms filled with natural light and subtle nuances.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Women in novels are not the only heroines made breathless in a garden bower by the footsteps of a lover. As you map out a plan for the final corner of your property, keep your guilty pleasures in mind, which is where romance begins.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Live your life like your pictures: up close and personal. Zoom in on the details and you are sure to capture a moment that will brighten the rainiest day.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Preparation is not frivolous: watch and learn. Your husband just uncovered his motorcycle for the first time in six month and is tinkering with it before the first ride of the season. Before you sew those summer curtains, you'll want to clean and oil your sewing machine.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Nontraditional roles speak to your nonconformist self today. Just as your husband uses a pegboard in the garage to hang his tools, you can use a painted version on one wall in your retro-look kitchen to adjust storage space.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Baby oh baby! The books you loved as a child have suddenly become important. A call to your mother and aunt will reveal their hiding places. Have them shipped with a service that uses a tracking number. It is worth paying a bit more for that peace of mind.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) The elation of sticking with your budget and paying down or even off your credit cards is with you today. As a debt-free woman, you have more financial options in your future and will get better sleep when your head touches the pillow. Follow your daydreams to success.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Rejoice in the ease of your life and the companion who loves you unconditionally. The beauty of owning your own condo is your lawn -- or lack of it. You have a nearby park where you and your dog can go twice a day to enjoy the grass.
