Aries (March 21 - April 19) Honesty may be the best policy, but be careful with how brutally frank you are with certain people today. Temper your criticism by offering constructive remarks on how to make things better. Telling your partner that their first stab at shrimp gumbo tastes like cat food could crush their fragile creative spirit, and have you wearing that gumbo as a hat.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) It's true that all that glitters is not gold, hence the subpar meals at trendy new bistros and tapas joints. Save your money and visit the best restaurant in town: your kitchen. Your homemade Cajun shrimp stew is golden in both its quality and its price. In fact, it's so good you may want to make reservations for tomorrow night, too.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Preaching to friends about their bad nutrition could be counterproductive if they catch you sneaking cookies and chocolate bars behind their backs. Getting caught red-handed just leaves you red-faced, yet unapologetic. Share your sins with them. Misery, after all, loves company.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Your car wouldn't start and the bus was late, and your outlook has gone from bright and chipper to dark and aggressive. Don't let the day's aggravations drag you down. Pour yourself a nice cup of coffee once you arrive at work, and dig into that pile of bagels. Simple familiarity could bring back the positive energy you awoke with.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Chipping an inch of ice off your windshield could reawaken your desire for travel to warmer climes. Alas, responsibilities keep you tied up at home for quite some time. Dining at an exotic restaurant may settle your sense of wanderlust, and you can enjoy Balinese chicken satay as you watch the snow come down.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Roadblocks in your work schedule keep you from racing ahead today. Frustrating as they are, being forced to slow down could have you taking stock of important details you've previously overlooked. This talent may help you later in the day when you may finally notice the subtle flavors in a bowl of Vietnamese chicken pho soup.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You may be feeling comfortable with the progress of current work projects, but don't get complacent. Taking a three-hour lunch is not advised, even though you think you can get away with it. Nothing is worse than getting an emergency call from the boss, especially if you're right in the middle of your boudin blanc with house-made sauerkraut.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) If something seems too good to be true, it probably is, so avoid being swept up in the hype surrounding the opening of a trendy new eatery, as it might be a colossal disappointment. Spend your money on a sure fire winner instead, like the pot roast and mashers special at the Mom and Pop diner that's been around for fifty years.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Your excitement at taking in a trendy new bistro is tempered by being served portions that wouldn't satisfy a sparrow. Which may lead you to ask yourself: 'What's all the hubbub, bub?' Pan searing prawns and throwing it on top of arugula with some capers is something you can do better at home, so get crackin'.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Your well-honed sense of discipline abandons you just when you need it most today. Just hope you're not passing by a pizza parlor when that happens. You may not be able to resist the siren song of a cheese and sausage calzone, and you may even find yourself ordering a few slices of pizza to go along with it. Be strong!
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Hang with like-minded people who share your culinary passions today. Whether it's a wine tasting club, a cooking class, or just friends who like to dine out, bask in the companionship. Don't forget to make a date with the most important group of all: Ice Cream Lovers Anonymous!
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Work problems mount as the day progresses and you're soon buried. It may take the rest of the day to claw your way out, and by then you're exhausted. Treat yourself to an Italian dinner, but go easy on the wine or you may find yourself asleep halfway through your veal scaloppini.
