Your Daily HomeScope for August 01, 2024

August 1, 2024



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 lifestyle is already pretty healthy, but there are always little tweaks you can make to take it to the next level. Make a commitment to change something small -- use less salt, or avoid eating after nine o'clock -- and watch your health get even better.

Taurus

When friends come over to visit this evening, don't just sit down at the kitchen table as usual. Take your cups of tea into the formal living room -- yes, the elegant room that no one ever hangs out in. Your laughter will make the room more accessible.

Gemini

You're on a mission today. Eat a high-protein breakfast in anticipation of going on a mad dash all over town to complete your errands. With gas in your tank and a serious to-do list, you can achieve anything you want today.

Cancer

You may not be able to control the entire household today, but you might find solace in controlling one little facet of your home. Take a look at your utensil drawer, for instance; figure out why you have three spatulas and how it all could be organized better.

Leo

Before you start to dig up the garden and lay down the foundation for raised flower boxes, look at your yard from all angles. Ask yourself questions. Where is the best view? Where is the best shade? Be informed before you commit to any great changes.

Virgo

Your entryway is quite possibly the most important room in your house. It provides a first impression and it means 'I've made it home.' So then why is this room cluttered with coats and wet umbrellas? Take a moment to tidy up and restore the prestige of the room.

Libra

When your housemate inevitably breaks a piece of china this week, you may feel ready to blow up. For the sake of your housemate, keep your temper in check. Accepting that we can't keep objects with us forever is part of the process of letting the past fade into the past.

Scorpio

After being treated to a store-bought graham cracker piecrust at a friend's house (heaven forbid!), politely offer to teach this person how to make a real piecrust. It takes skill, patience and just the right amount of flour, but your friend will likely never turn back.

Sagittarius

If you have work to do at home today, don't even think about starting until the house is empty. The noise level alone, combined with constant question-asking, will test your focus. Best to wait until the house is quiet before diving into your own thoughts.

Capricorn

Your fact-finding mission today will take you no further than your own pantry. Take some time to read over the nutritional information on your food items. You may be surprised at how many times 'high-fructose' pops up!

Aquarius

As a cloud layer covers your neighborhood, remember to go outside and cover up your lawn furniture. You may have left things uncovered this long out of sheer denial of summer's passing, but unless you cover up now, you can expect to buy new furniture in the spring.

Pisces

As your eyes open this morning, you may be overwhelmed by your tasks for the day. It's not that there's a lot to do -- you just particularly hate these jobs. Pick your least favorite job and do it first. Your day can only get better from there!
