Aries (March 21 - April 19) With so much to do today, you'll need to prioritize your to-do list. Make sure you tackle the things you have to do, like defrosting dinner or buying extra towels for guests, before you tackle the fun tasks, like finishing up your sock monkey.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) If you don't find a way to relax pretty soon, some tension may come through in your meal. Though you may be feeling stressed, be careful not to rub the pork loin the wrong way. You may wind up with tough meat and soupy gravy.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Your good mood will be greatly noted as you walk around the house humming tunes. You may be in such a great mood, in fact, that you will be willing to give your least favorite household eyesore a second look, almost finding charm in the ugly piece of furniture.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) As much as you would like to stay in and have a long, casual meal around the dining room table, try to be flexible with your housemates. If someone in your house would rather dress to the nines and eat out, start looking through your closet and play along.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Be wary of some egos clashing today as you and another fabulous cook enter the kitchen. Have a discussion about the menu and pick a single course to work on. Though there may be some competition, you'll work much better if you don't try to team up on a dish.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) As a lesson in patience, take some time to experiment with Arborio rice today. In order to get the richest and creamiest risotto, you must be willing to stir in a little broth at a time, not allowing yourself to eat until the rice is perfectly cooked.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) In the midst of a stressful week, the answer to your woes may not be a hot bath. What you might just need is an impromptu snowball fight, replete with sneak attacks and uproarious laughter. The hot bath can follow after, but you'll already be restored.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Does the house feel like it's getting smaller? Additional people in your house, particularly older relatives, may be making your home feel like it's at full capacity. You may feel like you're regressing, but don't feel bad if you need to hide out in your bedroom as you did in childhood.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Good will, good music and good food will open your mind up to meeting new people this evening. As you launch into sincere laughter with a relative stranger, you may even be wondering why you don't behave like this all year round.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Effect a small change in your house today -- preferably one that is subtle enough no one will notice! But be careful -- if you switch out butter for margarine in your mashed potatoes, make sure you hide the container in the back of the fridge.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You can't seem to get enough of the festivities, guests and constant entertainment this week. Though this may be your favorite time of the year, prepare yourself for a little bit of quiet home-time next week. Otherwise the silence might be a bit jarring.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) A truly compassionate emotion may come over you this week as you think about what you can do for the less fortunate. Bake some goodies to bring to a nearby shelter. The experience will change your perception of gratitude for a good long time.
