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
Your great-grandmother's gold scarf pin is the perfect accessory to your soft wool scarf. Wear it in remembrance of the special times you sat on her lap and marveled at its beauty.
Taurus
A glass top will preserve your antique hall table from possible spills from the water in the plant you keep there. You are careful but your housesitters, maybe not so much.
Gemini
Doing things the easiest way may not be best today and close will not matter so much as being correct. Wood stacks neater on concrete or on specially designed wire racks. Stacking it on a wooden floor or deck leads to bugs finding a new home and possibly wood rot.
Cancer
Pet messes will stop you in your tracks and get your day off to a rocky start. Spot treat the carpet immediately, even though you think time is short. It's either a few minutes now or dollars, hours and a huge mess later on.
Leo
Soft does not mean unsophisticated when it comes to decorating. Soft colors mean simplicity, and you could use a bit of that today as you will be tempted to bite off more than you can chew.
Virgo
You read the book and you bought the pretty glass orb for watering, but the leaves of your houseplants are still drooping. Watch closely. Is a child or a grandchild lifting the watering bulb to see whether water comes out? Treat it as a first opportunity to nurture a potential green thumb.
Libra
Jumbled nuggets, shredded or fried en masse, however you prepare your hash browns, let them cook about four minutes before turning. This takes a measure of patience, which you may find harder and harder to come by as the day progresses. You may need to take deep breaths along the way.
Scorpio
Creative endeavors you begin today might not be finished in 24 hours, but it will be worth your time to begin. Get started on your 'fairy garden' by tacking wire mesh into the seats of old chairs. You may need to apply a hammer and nails if the chairs are rickety.
Sagittarius
Fitting square pegs into round holes is not an activity you spend a lot of time on. Layering -- now that is a useful skill. Try this: A round, fringed tablecloth serves as the base. Meanwhile, place a solid square tablecloth in the middle and angle a tasseled sheer-printed square tablecloth atop the solid for a great look.
Capricorn
Do not procrastinate or the task at hand will just get more ugly and more messy. Lucky you, the deep fryer you received for Christmas has a tight lid that reduces oil splatters on your kitchen counters and walls.
Aquarius
Keep your advice to yourself when your housemates squabble -- let them work it out for themselves. Put your fix-it urge to productive use by cleaning your room or working in the yard. You're always better off minding your own business.
Pisces
Celebrate the bounty of the sea with crabmeat stir-fried in red chili, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Sprinkle with shredded scallions. Even if the weather's cold, you can experience the joy of an Asian-inspired crab boil.
