Aries (March 21 - April 19) The bookshelves are going to be beautiful, but admittedly, you've never held a power drill in your life. Look to friends for advice. The lumberyard can provide you with the wood, but only a person with experience can teach you the tricks of the trade.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Be patient with your housemate this week as he moves through a distracted time. You may find the cereal in the freezer and the ice cream in the pantry. Try to find humor in the situation and gently guide them back to reality.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) A very different type of person will grace your presence today. Whether it's a fascinating senior at the florist or a child selling lemonade on the corner, take a minute to converse and see if you can't learn a thing or two.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) A very different type of person will grace your presence today. Whether it's a fascinating senior at the florist or a child selling lemonade on the corner, take a minute to converse and see if you can't learn a thing or two.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Your recipe for minestrone soup is foolproof but, over the years, it's also gotten a bit boring. Though your ancestors may look down on you with shame, don't be scared to experiment with the original recipe. Maybe it's time to substitute garbanzos for cannellini beans?
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Are your floors cluttered but your walls expansive and bare? Get creative and bridge the gap between the two -- invest in some serious shelving solutions. Bare walls, after all, are rife with organizational potential.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) A rainy day at home has you wondering what crafty projects you can make out of your kitchen supplies. Remember that flour and water can make glue, toothpicks provide fabulous structure, and food coloring makes everything more fun.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Your bedroom has not been capturing the dramatic flair that you feel represents your personality. Perhaps what you need is a four-poster bed with a sweeping, romantic canopy. Why not turn your boudoir into a 1930s film set?
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Though stenciling seems as easy as holding an outline up to a wall, you get the feeling there might more to it. Talk to a specialist at an art store before you dip your brush into the paint. There may be some key tips to this deceptively simple job.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You may find it hard to dream about the future when all of the curtains are drawn, so make a ritual out of opening them every morning. Even if the sky is cloudy, each room will have a glow, allowing your mind to stroll through your hopes and dreams.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Something as small as a cut piece of glass can transform the light in a room. Adorn your windows with a small prism, or perhaps just let the light bounce off of the ring on your finger. The lively display of light will be brilliant.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) A sudden shift in the home may have you feeling dreary today. Give your home a chance to air out, cracking some windows and perhaps burning some strongly scented incense, such as sage. The fresh air and the rich, herbal scent will breathe new life into the house.
