Aries (March 21 - April 19) Grab a rake and start burning some of that restless energy hanging around. Your fingers are itchy and your mind alert. Find an activity around the house that will use some of your physical prowess and accomplish something important.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Anyone can plant a handful of seeds in a yard and call it a garden. To you, it's the special touches that make it a true yard. From the smoking chiminea to the gazebo or tinkling fountain, these bits make your home seem personal and elegant.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) As much as you love the community of birds that call your backyard home, you kinda sorta can't wait for them to take off for the winter. You may find the incessant chatter a bit grating, and as fall turns into winter, you look to the sky, wondering when they will take flight.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) At first it was just one day, then two, then three, and now a whole week has passed since your craft-o-rama party and you still haven't cleaned up. Don't get in the habit of eating dinner on the couch -- clear the dining room table of its felt and yarn, and go back to eating like civilized folks.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Friends can usually hear you coming from miles away from your laughter, but today you may feel like cooping up and staying silent. Get out your beaded eye pillow, put in some ear plugs, and turn the ringer off on the phone. Go deep inside and relax.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Baking has always seemed a bit like magic to you -- what the batter looks like when it goes in the often barely resembles, in taste, shape or form, what it looks like when it comes out. Turn magic into science by studying up on the everyday things that you find fascinating.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Have you officially reached the point of not caring? Was the flood last spring the end of your rope, and now a leak in the kitchen can go on for days without your batting an eye? While being calm and collected is desirable, don't let your nonchalance border on apathy.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Your healthy ambitions started out with munching on roasted almonds rather than potato chips, but somehow this has evolved into chocolate-covered almonds and a soda. Be honest with yourself about what goes in your body. Nobody else is watching you -- your health is your own business.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You spent quite a bit of time last week putting together the house rules, going so far as to pen them onto a sign on the fridge. Though some may be overly stringent, don't give into a temptation to break them. Learn how to live under the rules of your own roof.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) A vacation is supposed to be a stress release, a break from all of the realities of the world. But right now it looks like a plane ticket and a series of question marks. Step out of your reality and start booking hotels, planning tours, and making dinner reservations -- do it before your getaway becomes a hassle!
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) For an upcoming event, make sure that everything is just so, right down to the paprika on the deviled eggs. Make a checklist now so that you'll have peace of mind while you prepare. Otherwise you'll make yourself nutty trying to remember what you've forgotten!
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Just thinking about taking out the stack of newspaper makes you tired -- the stacking, the tying up with twine, the carrying down the stairs, and the filthy hands. While your hands are already dirty from the garden, just dive in and do it. It's an instant clutter buster.
