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
Life gives you all kinds of opportunities -- you can either laugh in the face of adversity or frown. So when your dog chews up your Louis XIV couch or your brother spills red wine on your white wool carpet, don't freak out. Instead, come up with solutions to solve the problem. If you can't, remember, relationships are more important than things.
Taurus
Improving efficiency is your mission. Look for areas in your life to cut time and effort. A handheld vacuum is an easy way to clean up small messes, while carpooling will slash your transportation budget to mere pennies. Keep searching -- you'll find what fits.
Gemini
Financial matters come to the fore today when something shows up on your credit report that doesn't belong there. Maybe it's time to audit your past bills and accounts and change all your credit cards numbers -- out with the old, in with the new.
Cancer
You're sick of being known as a packrat. Changing your image is up to you, so if you're ready for a new identity, head to the home-improvement store and invest in some buckets. Hang a few on the inside of your tool shed to store random but essential gardening items.
Leo
Don't make too many comparisons between your childhood home and what's out there on the market. You can't ever go back -- now's the time to embrace that reality. Instead, come up with your own version of hearth and home. Once you let the past go, all possibilities are open on the other side.
Virgo
You will have green grass if it kills you -- but is it worth it? Consider the environmental price your lush yard costs. Next year, consider operating outside the accepted paradigm. It's time to invest in low-impact xeriscaping. Sage, lavender and other types of succulents are easy on the ecology and look fantastic.
Libra
Never underestimate your own ability to persevere when you know to your bones you are on the right course. Creating a nest egg for yourself just in case of disaster is wise, especially in these crazy times -- aim for at least a six-month cushion.
Scorpio
Stop sabotaging yourself. It's easy to fall behind schedule when you're busy looking for your keys, your wallet, your purse, and the list goes on. Establish a central location near the door where you can store all those loose ends -- you'll be as efficient as ever when everything is where it's supposed to be.
Sagittarius
Create a garden paradise in your yard, complete with tiki torches and a pit barbecue (if only in your head). It's a fantastic setup for a luau -- you have the space, the yard and the time to entertain your favorite people. Why not host the event of the season this year?
Capricorn
For once, everything falls into place today. And you just love it -- so go with the flow. Whatever you set out to do will work out, so if you've wanted to change some aspect of your life or home, now's the time to do it.
Aquarius
Add your favorite spices, carrots, potatoes, onion, celery and chunks of beef to the slow cooker early in the day. By the time quittin' time comes around, you'll have forgotten all about it -- won't it be great to walk in your home and smell the evidence that your work is done for the day?
Pisces
Conversations over food are revealing. Don't be surprised if that Crab Louie brings up some interesting memories of your childhoods on the East Coast. So make sure you have something to write on when you have dinner tonight -- you won't want to miss a single thought.
