Aries (March 21 - April 19) That wanderlust is calling. Even if you can't afford a far-off adventure just now, you can always soothe those desires by exploring in books or online, in fabric stores, specialty food shops and import boutiques. Bring the jungle home by filling your home with lush vegetation.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Do you believe in transcendental meditation? Well, after today you will. Start planning the fall garden because your subconscious is hyperactive and fully up for the challenge. Get your tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, snap beans and squash into the dirt soon and come harvest time you'll have exceeded your wildest dreams.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) This day finds you jovial and good at making people laugh. Roll with it! Have the gang over for a barbecue and some summer-fresh lemonade with raspberries. Play around -- get silly and crazy with a mean game of Smashball. Your mood is sure to tickle them all!
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Today you'll be feeling a little selfish. Take heart, dear, for one day and one day only, feel free to indulge these inclinations a bit -- nurture, even pamper yourself. Read a short story while you soak your feet. Keep your feet on a towel for ease of cleanup whilst you give yourself a pedicure. Eat well, sleep in, have a soak, enjoy a little laughter and be well!
Leo (July 23 - August 22) How about making some changes today? You're ready for a little excitement so make it happen. Use pencil to sketch a mural on one of your children's bedroom wall. Enlist a teen who can stay in the lines to help you paint. Don't be shy; just take the leap and give it a try!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Today you'll feel like rushing ahead with a plan, but for whatever reason you just can't. It's a good day to go with the flow. Cut that to-do list in half and you'll easily overcome any tension that might arise. Wipe the bulk of dust off ceiling fan blades before you wash them with hot, soapy water to decrease the mess.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Proper planning is key! You sometimes tend to get ahead of yourself where do-it-yourself projects are concerned. Today you'll be soaring right through jobs and projects. Go ahead, fly far and high but be careful with the landings. Drape a towel over the ladder legs that rest against the wall so you don't scratch the surface.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) An impulse buy is looming in the not-too-distant future. Knowing this should help you avoid the risk and accept when the deal is just too good to be true. Before you buy that used car, have your mechanic check it for troubles you can't see. Trust your instincts and stick to your guns, Annie!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Expect the unexpected and don't take anything for granted today. Sometimes challenges and snafus arise, but there's nothing you can't handle as long as you are prepared. A single bed can be made inviting in a guest room with fluffy pillows that complement the bedspread -- add a stuffed animal to capture that youthful whimsy.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) At first, getting to the end of your to-do list may seem impossible. But, of all days, if you maintain your focus and are able to persevere today, you'll be miraculously productive. Violets and peonies do not blend happily in one vase. Place peonies as an entryway centerpiece and violets near the kitchen sink. Your accomplishments won't go unnoticed either, so on your mark, get set and go, go, go!
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You'll catch a glimpse of heaven today after you've washed those windows and scrubbed those floors. Next, let some sunshine come indoors and bring in flowers, too. Daylight from a window enhances the color of naturally light-hued flowers. Play some soothing music and end the day with a soup full of your garden's bounty.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You may tend toward being a little too self-righteous. But be sweet and think before you speak. Just like grandma used to say, 'you catch more flies with honey.' Sautee boneless, skinless chicken breast in honey and serve them with cornbread for dinner.
Former New York Yankees left-hander Fritz Peterson died at the age of 82. He is probably best known exchanging wives with teammate Mike Kekich in the 1970s.
Fantasy baseball analyst Andy Behrens offers up a series of pickups to assist every manager, starting with a duo of Rockies ahead of a Colorado homestand.
