Aries (March 21 - April 19) You proclivity for independent thought fails you at restaurants as you fall back on the tried-and-true. But there are ways of staying within your boundaries while still taking a chance. Try Chilean sea bass over polenta. It's an excellent seafood alternative to the more traditional salmon or trout.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Today is not one for taking risks. So stick with the things that you know are safe and easy. You may love sushi, but stay away from the more exotic varieties like tako, uni and ika. Go for the California roll instead. It may be innocuous, but you won't be up for any challenges today.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You're good at making people laugh, but sometimes for all the wrong reasons. Still, it's not like they don't recognize your best intentions. So when the lasagna you'll cook for friends turns out runny, rubbery and bland, their laughter may be out of pity and not derision.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Your social and private life often collides, as friends have an annoying habit of dropping by unannounced. You're always up for engaging company, but not all the time, and especially not at dinner. You never have enough grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for everyone.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Coworkers may get annoyed with your habit of getting directly to the point. But you've never been one to mince words. Still, a little decorum can go a long way. So the next time they bring cupcakes into the office pretend that you like them rather than say they taste like balled-up newspaper.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) The last day of the workweek may also prove to be the most intense. Stress will build to a bursting point, so do what you can to stay in control. Find time to enjoy a cup of organic spearmint tea or two in a quiet place. It may be soothing enough to get you through until five o'clock.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) A romance may have recently crashed violently back to earth. There's nothing more upsetting than the trauma of a breakup. So soothe your aching heart and mind with a big dose of comfort food. Lasagna and garlic bread may not bring your beloved back, but it'll give you a little peace of mind.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Magic may be just within your reach today. It has proved elusive until now, but it will suddenly be there in front of you. You never thought this moment would come, but that first bite of your first authentic Philadelphia hoagie in years will be ... ahem ... magical.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You'll feel happy and jovial on the last day of the workweek. So spread the joy by treating friends to lunch. Chinese is always fun, and that way everyone can share. You won't know whether to start with the walnut prawns or garlic chicken, so throw it all on one plate and go wild!
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Perseverance will be your key to success today. The old 'try and try again' adage will ring true as you finally master something difficult. But that first taste of a hearty s---ake mushroom and miso soup will have you feeling like you're dining in one of Tokyo's finer restaurants.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Get together with like-minded friends tonight. Everyone will be in agreement on where to hang, which movie to see, or what to have for dinner. Still, mix it up should you decide on Thai. There's a lot more enticing and delectable items on the menu than just pad thai and green curry over rice.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You'll wrestle with temptation today. There'll be many enticing vices that will beckon you to the dark side. But in the end you'll do the right thing and order a healthy seafood salad topped with grilled salmon rather than a double cheeseburger topped onion rings and bacon.
