Frank Fontana welcomes artist-astrologer Anne Nordhaus-Bike to his WGN Radio show Oct. 12

CHICAGO - Oct. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- The topic will be “Designing With The Stars.” Nordhaus-Bike and Fontana will talk about how to improve your décor based on both your astrological Sun sign and on the current astrological energies. They will focus on home design for the fall, as the Sun moves through the autumn signs of Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. They’ll also show how everyone—whatever their Sun sign—can use these signs’ energies and colors to enjoy the fall and get ready for the holidays.

“Fall is a great time to think about your décor so you can live your life in harmony,” Nordhaus-Bike explained. “Following astrological principles can help you create your perfect environment for autumn and make it easy to gear up for the holidays.”

Listeners will be welcome to call in with questions and comments at (312) 981-7200.
