Aries (March 21 - April 19) The more you become an expert at something, the more you find the details really are what affect the outcome, whether that's the exact temperature of hot water in candy-making or letting a cut of meat properly age and air-dry before you braise and roast it.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Fuzzy math just doesn't work, especially when it comes to baking. If you're wondering why your macarons don't look like those in Parisian pastry shops, it's time to buy a digital scale. They're surprisingly cheap, and they'll change your baking life.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Just because the weather's hot doesn't mean you won't catch a little summer cold. Help yourself heal by making sure you get your nutrients. Freshly made soups, fresh-squeezed juices, herbal teas and lots of water will get you back on your feet.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Create a comfort megafood by concocting a frico grilled cheese sandwich. Simply place a cooked grilled cheese atop a mound of Pecorino or Parmesan in a skillet and press down with a spatula until the Parm is crispy and brown. Mind-blowing!
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Be smarter about how you store your favorite utensils, cups, dishes and gadgets in the kitchen. Storing short items behind tall means you forget that they're there or rarely use them. So reevaluate your space and how you utilize it today.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You love being thrifty, but consider whether that money-saving attempt might actually end up wasting more money. If you upend an olive oil bottle atop another, they could overbalance and end up spilling the full container. Don't pinch pennies only to blow dollars.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Taking a shortcut seems awfully tempting today, but do try to go through the proper steps to achieve your goal. You may think you can flip your omelet with a fork, but it may just be your undoing. Take the two extra seconds to get the spatula.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Trying to save time can end up wasting time in the end. Case in point? Crowding the skillet when you fry or the pan when you bake results in soggy undercooked morsels without the desired crispness. Practice patience and cook in small batches.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Learning a new term helps make a quiet meal taste much different. So instead of calling it a creamy soup, serve up a Jerusalem artichoke veloute with a drizzle of truffle oil on the surface along with a Parmesan crisp.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Earth signs are usually hygiene-oriented, but make sure you take all the proper precautions today. Wash your hands before you prep your meal and before you eat, too. It's just a good habit to develop.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Take things to the next level. Learning new skills helps keep the kitchen an interesting place for people like you. If you've invested in a set of chef-worthy knives, why not learn how to sharpen those tools, too?
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Is it serve from the left, take away from the right or vice versa? Today is a good time to brush up on your etiquette. Chances are you're not going to a dinner with six different forks, but it doesn't hurt to know basic good manners.
Affluent Americans may want to double-check how much of their bank deposits are protected by government-backed insurance. The rules governing trust accounts just changed.
