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
Consider gemstones and their dazzling qualities. Listen thoughtfully when a reputable jeweler explains how light is captured in the table of the stone then spins from point to cut point before it is cast back out for your eyes to marvel. Now you can make an informed purchase.
Taurus
You married for love and got the home of your dreams in the bargain. Lucky you. When a search of the hardware store does not reveal the doorknob that fits your bedroom door, check with an interior designer, and peruse his or her stacks of catalogs and literature.
Gemini
Don't worry that you're running out of usable space -- it's not worth your time. Your giant ottoman can also act as a table. Add a tray, a clever, wide vase of flowers, and a couple of accent pieces until you are ready with another tray to serve appetizers.
Cancer
Opposites and near-opposites can be attractive. Giving your living room an up-do can be as easy as choosing pillows that contrast both texturally and in color with the white walls. You chose well, now do the same for the drapes, and you'll be able to wow everyone with your great new look.
Leo
You have always enjoyed making an entrance and it could certainly be said that your personality alone opens doors. Skip the cold and flu this time around by washing the handles with a disinfectant of all the things you open.
Virgo
Organized is one of your best traits. Making colors work is a bit more difficult, especially when you are in a hurry. Contrast your table runner with the tablecloth, and match your plates to one of the colors in the runner for an eye-pleasing surface that will soon be filled with delectable dishes.
Libra
The craft project you set aside to work on Halloween costumes is a pleasure to resume. The straightforward need to count stitches is relaxing. Congratulate yourself for being a super mom.
Scorpio
Naysayers will bark at your heels but must heed your intuition when a thrift store find comes your way. A table like the one you remember from your grandparents' kitchen in the 1950s is a great find for a sawbuck, even if reselling it for a profit is what you decide to do. Grin at those who thought you were silly.
Sagittarius
You love water and all thing from the sea. The next time you hit the beach, bring home a few large clam shells. Seeing those treasures will bring the same peaceful serenity into your domicile that you felt walking on the shore.
Capricorn
Go ahead. Try to terrify your children with food. Ghoul-lash made from whatever small pasta you have in the cupboard, diced chicken or ground hamburger, some tomato sauce mixed with seasonings and cheese, will invite a spirit to haunt the dinner table.
Aquarius
You don't have to relinquish all your stuff as you merge households with your new love. The place you rest your feet can have form as well as function. If you choose an ottoman or living room table with a shelf underneath, you will gain some added storage. Avoid packing it with stuff -- clutter is so passe.
Pisces
Let your home reflect the interplay of distant views and landscapes with paths that lead through the garden and down to the highway. Plant Russian sage along the roadside for color and interplay of scent and life.
