If home is where the heart is, why shouldn’t it follow the same stars that we do? Our relationships with our homes are sacred, and like most, could use a bit of counseling here and there. Tap on your sun sign and start making your house more of a home today!
Aries
Some of your favorite foods in the world, you would far too terrified to ever try to make. Coq au vin? Chana masala? The more exotic the flavors, the more intimidated you are. With the help of a good cookbook (and possibly the moral support of a friend), you'll be able to competently complete any recipe you can dream of.
Taurus
Practice showing tolerance to others with a smile on your face. Accepting the kindness of others will soften all of your relationships. Start an evening journal by listing each day for a week just a few of the things for which you are grateful to have in your life. The insights you gain will be delightful.
Gemini
You find that you have a hankering for the lighter foods that won't bog you (or your belly) down. Lucky for you, this is the perfect time to eat fresh, seasonal produce. Gorge on veggies and drink lots of water; know how good you're being to yourself. Test juicers before you buy.
Cancer
Before you drop a wad of cash on a brand-new TV, make a list of the things you actually need to buy versus a list of things you want to buy. There may be other things that are more important than a flat screen television.
Leo
It may not be Valentine's Day, but there's no reason you can't pay homage to the heart. Make pancakes in a heart shape and dot them with chocolate chips, or arrange stones in the yard in the shape of a heart. Your little actions will have a strong effect on those around you.
Virgo
While yoga does amazing things for your mental state of mind, it also helps with your flexibility. Not only will you be better equipped to reach for the china in a hard-to-reach cupboard, but you'll also find that you have more flexibility when it comes to dealing with issues around the house.
Libra
Sometimes you really amaze yourself. Just when you think you're out of fresh ideas, necessity steps in and forces you to be imaginative. Whether it's a fabulous dinner that you throw together out of garden produce and leftovers, or a blouse you sewed out of scraps, your creativity is at an all-time high.
Scorpio
With a fiery nature, you never shy away from competition, and you love a good challenge. Take on a task that has always seemed over your head. Check out a book from the library if need be and follow the instructions to fix the plumbing or make a puff pastry. If the book has other things you can use, then you can order a copy for yourself.
Sagittarius
A grump on the other end of the phone first thing in the morning can set a ruinous tone for the day. There are certain people, who can make you smile, and once you have smiled, your chores, errands, and various tasks will seem much more bearable. Once your need for succor is taken care of, pay it the feeling forward with a call of your own to a former housemate who you miss.
Capricorn
When you cook the meal, you may feel possessive about the leftovers. So when a housemate devours the last bits without your realizing it, you may be furious. Invest in labels before you spout angry words. Remind yourself that it is quite a compliment that everyone loves your food so much that they'll sneak it without asking.
Aquarius
You haven't even thought about marshmallows in years, but all of a sudden, it will be the only thing that you can think about. Go with your sudden impulses today -- you're sure to have a few. Marshmallows can be used to make s'mores, crispy rice cereal treats or melted to top an ice cream sundae. Indulge.
Pisces
While housemates bicker in another room; you shut them out by turning on the mixer and whipping up some cream to dollop on berries. There's one way to stay out of other people's dramas today -- keep your hands busy, stick to yourself, and turn up the volume.
