Aries (March 21 - April 19) Today the air will begin to feel crisp, making you wonder what you can conserve for the cooler months. Perhaps you can take a piece of summer -- say, the plums piling up from your tree in the yard -- and make jam for the holidays?
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) With the beginning of the week will come the nagging realization that it's time to live like a grown up. Since when did it become okay to leave your dirty dinner plate on the coffee table over night?
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) If you're gazing sentimentally a little longer than usual at the pictures on the mantle, you might as well take that moment to dust them off, clean the glass and perhaps (gasp!) even polish the silver frames.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Early in the week, you'll want to do whatever you can to be flexible -- if your housemate orders Chinese takeout, just go with it, even if you were really craving Thai. Food often tastes better when the person across from you is happy.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Though your desire to get things done may have you on the up-and-up, today would be a good time to keep things lateral -- stay off of ladders and, instead, get yourself reclined in a lavender-scented bath.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You may have just undergone a major reorganization of your closet, but other folks in your house aren't capable of such discipline at the moment. Try as much as you can to swallow critiques today -- your words might come out a little strong.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Take matters into your own hands today. Your friend may have promised to help you set up your Internet connection, but there's no need to wait. You'll be surprised by how easily you can figure out which plug goes into which socket.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) The way the living room is set up couldn't bother you more than it does today. Why is the couch against that wall? And why do you have eight chairs in there? Put on your jeans and get ready to do some heavy lifting.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Does the organizational structure of the garage really matter all that much? As you back out of the garage today, take a deep breath. It's easy to play the blame game, but there's nothing you can do to fix it today -- let it go.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) On Monday try to avoid taking shortcuts. Rather than trying to get everything done a little bit, focus on just one task -- be it as mundane as vacuuming -- and really get behind those couch cushions.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) In the beginning of the week, put your own ideas first. Why does the can opener have to go in the second utensil drawer on the left? Because that's where you want it. Small assertions like these will make your home feel like your own.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Though your housemates have lots of opinions on how you could reorganize the living room, look to yourself for the answers. As long as the job gets done, they'll understand if you choose a different layout than what they had suggested.
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.
