Aries (March 21 - April 19) A strange sound will come over the house this evening -- or rather, a lack of noise. Enjoy the silence that permeates your home as its inhabitants are out doing various tasks.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) With a buffet in the works for tonight, you'll be ready for the masses that will come over in the next few hours. Warm, filling foods will ensure that everyone gets enough of everything.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Take this day as an opportunity to focus on your creativity. When else do you have an excuse to stay in, avoiding all social responsibility, and simply play? Take out markers, glue, sketch pads and, most importantly, your mind.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Avoid all detail-oriented work today if you can -- you lack the patience to get it done. The simple task of sorting dark colors from whites could make laundry take 10 times longer than it normally would.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Get creative with paper today, enjoying the variety of projects you can complete with scissors and tape. With charming invitations, personalized name tags and paper keepsakes, your next gathering will be endearing.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Though you desperately want to start a new project as you stroll down the aisles of the hardware store, resist temptation. Avoid starting any new projects until you've wrapped up refinishing the antique dresser.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) As the years have gone by, your small collection of miniatures has grown into a village. Find a way to display this vast collection -- it doesn't appear very impressive all tossed into a box in a closet.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You may stump yourself today as you try to figure out where you left off in the pattern you're working on. When you started this project two months ago, you didn't realize it was going to take so long to complete.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) With guests over for dinner tonight, you may be prone to reminiscing about the past. Dig up your old cassette tapes from the '80s or LPs from your disco days, and set the mood with the music of another time.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) When it looks like a friend is about to give up on a craft project, step in and offer some assistance. Not that you need to sew up the sock monkey for her, but your gentle encouragement will keep the ball rolling.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) A recent credit-card bill may sober you up a little as you reflect on a recent spending spree. You may not even recall at first what some items are. Make it a plan, next month, to cut down spontaneous spending.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) When was the last time you baked a batch of cupcakes just for yourself? Or made lasagna for one, just because you were in the mood? Do something nice for yourself today, thinking of no one's tastes but your own.
