Aries (March 21 - April 19) Convalescing for you means time to knit. Star toe shaping means no extra finishing when it comes to knitting socks. Use wedged toe shaping when you want a fitted sock.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Watching an ailing neighbor's dog is one thing. It will be quite another if your children get attached and then the neighbor wants the dog back. Explain up front and repeatedly that the dog is in your home as a favor.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Buy and extra roll of yarn from the same dye lot before you start crocheting that afghan; you can adjust the pattern to make it the right size for your tall sister.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Go ahead and give yourself time today to write a real letter to a dear friend who lives far away. Use handmade recycled paper and break out the calligraphy pens to make it special as well as thoughtful.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Dull grey and brown filing cabinets look a sight in your home office. Fortunately, spray paint comes in an array of colors. Spray from left to right and back again with the can held level. Practice on a piece of cardboard before you begin.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Rearranging furniture requires energy. Exercise a bit of brain before brawn. Make a long room seem wider by placing furniture at a right angle to a long wall.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Buying two of everything is not necessary but if you had a back scratcher by the bed and one at your home-office work station you would not be disturbing your partner quite so often to, 'itch the spot I can't quite reach.' On the other hand, waking him could lead to a fun, sexy time tonight.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Be thrifty with your labels of other people. Nuts and fruits go together as naturally tasty, such as pistachios and apricots or cranberries and pecans. Incorporate them into salads or cookies. The choice is yours.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Division can be a negative when it comes to family arguments but it can be a good thing in the garden where you go to regain your calm. It is the time to divide well established Hosta plants, then, replant. Now you can go inside with a fresh outlook and find the solution to the dispute with your partner and children.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Working out is how you blow of steam and today's regimen might need to be doubled. Take the words of others professionally rather than personally and you will soon cool down and be able to determine if what was said was full of beans or held a nugget of truth.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Taming the wild beast is not on your list of talents. The way to deter raccoons from eating the lily pads out of your freshly installed pond is to replace them with plastic ones for a time so the pesky critters will look elsewhere for their salad.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) After a busy day at work is it more appealing to go for a walk or sit home in your easy chair. Walking? Make sure your shoes are comfortable. Sitting? Make sure whatever book or remote control is within easy reach. Whatever you do, the important thing is to find a way to de-stress.
