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
As you mix up a batch of fresh scones this morning, it may occur to you that you need to cancel your plans -- this is a day to sit down with a nice cup of tea and get through the next chapter in your book. Stuck with blank-page syndrome? Write a letter in your character's voice to nudge the muse.
Taurus
Enlighten others to the wonders of leafy greens today. Sing the praises of sauteed kale and steamed spinach. Even if it has to be smothered with butter and salt to be enjoyed by more reluctant housemates, it's better than having no kale at all! Also try kale sauteed with garlic and white onions and fresh basil.
Gemini
There's much that can be said about the simple hard-boiled egg. It's often overlooked in favor of the more exotic omelet or the standard scrambled blend. But in essence, hard-boiled eggs are food at its finest -- simple and without all that grease, perfect with a dash of salt and pepper, served in the delicate egg cups you inherited.
Cancer
With everything in life, you look for a little bit of balance -- work and play, exercise and relaxation -- but most importantly, in the foods you prepare. While a little fat and sugar can be delightful, the most satisfying meals include vitamins, leafy greens and whole grain deliciousness. Stir fry veggies of many colors and reap the benefits.
Leo
You don't just want a tuna salad sandwich today -- you want a tuna sandwich with light mayo, extra pickle, and green leaf lettuce. Prepared any other way just wouldn't be right! Your pickiness may get on the nerves of your compatriots today, but if it's not done right then it's not worth doing at all. Rinse out the tuna can and add it to your recyclables.
Virgo
There's something about water that makes life more fun. A squirt with a hose can make anyone dissolve into giggles, while a hard day of work can be more than paid off by a swim this evening. Take a moment to appreciate water today and its many versatile qualities. Use buckets of water when washing the car to conserve this precious resource.
Libra
While the kitchen is spotless, the living room is a wreck and your craft supplies litter both the table and floor. If things in your home seem unbalanced, do what you can to put the rooms on an even keel. Invest in clear storage boxes and drawers so you can see your materials and move projects easily from room to room.
Scorpio
You're not quite living off of rations, but you're pretty darn close. This week, you have decided, you will not go over budget. To take that fabulous vacation next year, or save enough to install a hot tub, you must prove it to yourself that you can keep daily expenses low. If you have a large family and are not brand sensitive, investigate a coupon club.
Sagittarius
You've come to reevaluate what it means to make a good lunch. You used to be okay with prepackaged deli meats on white bread, but once you had fresh mozzarella cheese on a ciabatta bun, it changed your views completely. The local fine Italian restaurant may be willing to sell their freshly made cheeses. It won't hurt to ask the owner.
Capricorn
As near as you can tell your plans are coming together -- each person has RSVPed to your dinner party, and the menu seems to be writing itself. Now all you have to do is relax and give yourself enough time before you focus on the meal and your guests. Make a list of what you need with recipe books beside you so you don't miss an ingredient.
Aquarius
What started out as a lovely day quickly turned into a sleepy afternoon. This, you realize, is why you bought that recliner a couple of months ago. Indulge in the act of rest today. Moisturize and protect your skin so the suns rays can tickle you through the blinds. Keep drinking water near to hand.
Pisces
What would your garden be without a leader? Most likely it would be a pile of rocks with a few lemon trees for accent. Your role in the garden goes beyond planting and pulling weeds. Navigate the troupes through the plant nursery, plan, dig and expand.
