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
The clock and photos on your mantle are great, but they have been up a long time and it is time for a change -- at least for a while. The picture above your mantle could be beautifully accented with a long, leafy arrangement of flowers. Keep in mind the accents in the picture frame, the colors in the portrait and the color of the mantle.
Taurus
Use your artistic sensibilities today. How flower arrangements are lit, whether by artificial lighting or sunlight through the window, should be a consideration when harmonizing the flowers with the rest of the room they are in.
Gemini
Being thrifty does not have to mean doing without. Herbed cheese spreads can be costly in the store for what you get. Make your own by adding finely chopped garlic, oregano, parsley, thyme, dill, basil, marjoram and ground pepper to taste to 16 ounces of cream cheese. Whip together.
Cancer
Unusual kitchen utensils are the theme of the bridesmaid's party. You won't go wrong with a tenderizing roller that pokes holes in beef, chicken or pork to ensure maximum marinade saturation. Guessing games include laughter.
Leo
A square vase to hold your tall bamboo looks oh so fine on the dining table, but make sure there is a convenient place to put it once your people gather for a meal... unless you want to play peek-a-boo.
Virgo
A pond with ducks is part of the property you and your spouse are taking a serious look at buying. Bodies of water can be subject to wetland regulations. If you can't make calls today, do not forget to add it to your checklist.
Libra
Preparing kale, collard, turnip and mustard greens might seem like a venture into the unknown, but these leafy green vegetables are health boosters. Wash them well as soil likes to hide in the ruffled edges. However you cook the greens, serve on plates with a contrasting color.
Scorpio
It never hurts to ask. Most of the residents in your small, privately owned apartment complex have a creatively Bohemian side to their nature. Get the neighbors together and ask the owner whether you can repaint the exterior doors in bright, attractive colors.
Sagittarius
The feeling you want to have when you approach home deserves some attention today. Though the barren trees of winter may be uninspiring, would arranging the stones that edge the driveway in a straight line please your sensibilities? This is your place to make cozy.
Capricorn
Bistro-style tables are all the rage, and even if you need a new dining-room table, think about it realistically. The height isn't appropriate for all your elderly guests. If you still want the stylish look, can you put it somewhere else? When it is time to make changes, you are capable of gentle wisdom.
Aquarius
You have a zest for life that you are always willing to share with your family, so when your grandchildren want cookies, you break out the baking sheets. You can add zest to your sugar cookies and the little ones can help. Show them how to use a vegetable peeler to take the fragrant skin form an orange or lemon in a big strip, and then cut as you choose.
Pisces
Light found in the darkness generally equates with peace of mind. A control for all of the main lights in your home from the master bedroom is a relatively inexpensive wiring project for a reputable electrician.
