Aries (March 21 - April 19) You wouldn't start sewing a dress without some sort of pattern, so why would you start to turn the office into a spare bedroom without a plan? Sketch out your designs and measure the furniture, envisioning just what you need for maximum efficiency. Don't improvise your design.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) While wandering about the fabric store today, your practical side may be telling you to buy a nice plain linen, while your wilder side is truly drawn to the bold prints in exotic fibers. Go with something middle of the road. Find smooth, tight-weave cotton with a design that's a bit louder than you'd normally pick.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Don't be picky today -- just roll with the group, letting your typically strong opinions be changed if need be. Let your opinions evolve, reflecting not only your own mood but the moods of those around you. You could enjoy a coconut macaroon just as well as a coconut curry. Use unsweetened coconut in cooking for the flavor of the nut rather than the overpowering sweet of sugar.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Take time to stretch your muscles before you begin gardening today. Though you may not consider gardening a sport, your aching muscles may beg to differ at the end of the day. Take frequent breaks throughout the day to hydrate; stretch your limbs as you go.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Recalling everything that you learned from the most experienced outdoorsman you knew when you were a kid, you'll come up with an ingenious solution to an otherwise unfixable problem. Armed with simple tools like rope, duct tape, and a pencil, you'll be able to fix most any household problem. Call a reputable professional for the ones you cannot solve.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) As you cut out a stencil tonight according to the directions, remember that you can paint around the center section that you cut out just as easily as you can paint between the lines. Try to avoid following instructions so carefully that you sacrifice your own creativity in the process.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You may want to steer clear of the kitchen this afternoon -- there's some experimental cooking going on. You're pretty sure that the results will be questionable. No matter what the entree looks like, take at least one bite. With enough salt and pepper anything will be palatable. Have a 'no hurt feelings but you don't need to make this again' agreement with your partner when it comes to cooking.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Instead of spending family time sitting around talking or watching television, spend time making something with those you love. It doesn't matter what the project is -- you can continue to chat as your hands busy themselves with food preparation or a collective art project. Put down old newspaper if the project will get messy.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) With family in town, you may want to resort to the same old activities that you normally do together. Do something a little different this time -- spend time at an open market sampling different varieties of olive oil, or plop down on a picnic blanket and mull over old times in the warmth of the sun.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You've had the same shopping routine for years -- Thursday is taco night and Friday is beef stroganoff. This week, try to shop for groceries based only on what's in season and what sounds good to you. You'll invigorate you weekly menu.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) A brilliant storage solution will dawn on you, making you wonder how many other simple yet elegant solutions you've overlooked throughout your house. Take this organizational wisdom and apply it to every closet, drawer and shelf throughout your house.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) If one of your housemates is willing to re-roof the house, have a heart to heart about the likelihood of this project happening before winter. It's not that you don't appreciate his willingness to help. You simply don't want to get mired in an impossible situation, leading to bad feelings. If you think the roof has leaks, have a professional check it out.
