Aries (March 21 - April 19) You like to keep craziness out of your home. So, prepare the perennial favorites -- green bean casserole, sweet potatoes and homemade bread -- ahead of time and store in the fridge. When extra company comes, you will be well prepared.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Possessive feelings about your spouse make you cling to his arm unusually when you go out in public today. Tonight, listen as much as you talk to the person with whom you are so in love. Make plans to be get away alone together.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Gentle music has a calming effect. Try turning on the classical or soft jazz station while you drive in traffic today. The break from holiday music will allow you to feel less rushed and less likely to slip on the ice life may have put in your path.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) What a delight to have a day off work and the house to yourself. Turn the music up and dance as you go about your chores. Set your dryer to damp dry setting and hang your t-shirts right away to avoid wrinkles.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Your loved ones are safe, just not home. Let the storms rage. You are ready to sit in front of the fire and wrap presents. Get out all your tools, tape, paper, ribbons, scissors and bows. Put your favorite Christmas movie on the TV, and you will find that the evening alone is satisfying because of your busy hands.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You might wake wishing you had the day to yourself. But alas, you must spend it at a party. You promised to go and you must because your side dish is expected. Go a little nutty with your luncheon menu with the ladies. Baby broccoli, a seasonal vegetable, pairs well with hazelnuts toasted in butter.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You may feel like the child who spilled her milk with all the things that are not quite in alignment today. Forgot to put the baked potatoes in the oven? Stick the spud in a clean potholder and microwave for seven to 10 minutes. Voila! Dinner is saved and you did it!
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Wedded bliss will soon be upon you. Choosing the wedding cake on a day when you have already had many sweets is not a good idea because your taste buds will out of kilter. Reschedule for next week.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Clean that big silk plant that has been gathering dust. Pour a half a cup of salt into a bag, put the plant inside and shake it up. The dust will cling to the salt and leave the plant. Shake the plant free out doors.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Change doesn't happen overnight, but you want to leave less of a footprint on the planet, so switch to energy-efficient light bulbs. They may cost more up front, but they actually last longer than incandescent bulbs.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Don't let the doldrums take away your zest for life. You can treat your winter food with a healthy dose of summer. Sunflower seeds are a great addition to gravies (grind the seeds), bread (use whole) and pudding (chop). If you hate to cook, try dressing up today with at least one summertime color.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Curling under the blanket your mother made with a book she recommended is a way to feel close to her even though your live far part. Pick up the phone when you've finished the book and discuss the plot with her.
