Your Daily HomeScope for August 15, 2024

August 15, 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 backyard this year may be in great shape, but your front yard is a little bit uninspired. It's not too soon to start sketching out what you want to do next year. Imagine the greenery and start thinking about the perfect flowers to match the trim of your house.

Taurus

One comment and your whole day is shot? No way! Don't fall for the bait -- don't let a snide remark about your apple pie ruin your barbecue experience. Whether the words come from a friend, enemy, or your own mother, they know you well enough to know how to get your goat.

Gemini

Keep your mind open today -- everything's bound to surprise you. Walking into the house of a neighbor you don't particularly like, you'll be shocked to find that she has exquisite taste. You may even agree on designers and colors: don't be so quick to judge.

Cancer

You skimp often enough -- treat yourself to the finest today. As you peruse the meat counter at your favorite gourmet market today, you may have your eye on an especially fresh and spendy swordfish steak. Before your financial acumen kicks in, snatch it up and indulge.

Leo

That last project didn't turn out the way you expected or wanted -- but that's no reason to be shy about starting anew. You won't make any progress unless you get back on that horse and ride it again. So if your souffle sank in the middle, give it to the dog and make another.

Virgo

With a sudden shift in your schedule and an obligation officially no longer yours to fulfill, your routine may be totally different. Think of a creative endeavor that will fit nicely into this time slot and feel your mind expand. After all, you've always wanted to learn to play the fiddle -- the universe is nudging you into action.

Libra

The time you spend working together is as important as the time you spend relaxing together, so whether it's your housemate or your lover, carve out a special few moments with him or her. After all, it's quality not quantity.

Scorpio

As you and your housemate spread out in the hardware store, you may return to the front register with some very different redecorating ideas. If you can't make a decision on the fly, it's okay if all you walk away with are a few paint chips and some ideas.

Sagittarius

Ah, miracles do happen! You may meet with an interior designer who is actually interested in hearing your ideas. You'll have the joy of conveying your hopes and dreams for your home, and in return, hearing exactly how he or she can make that happen.

Capricorn

The rules you live by are of, for, and by the people, and therefore are just a little bit harder to get away with breaking. As much as you might think you are the head of your household, the house functions much better under a democracy.

Aquarius

Whether it's a pink food processor or an apple-red toaster oven, you bought that appliance because of the color, not necessarily because you needed it. An boy do you enjoy staring at it, even when it's not in use. Display your awesome score in a conspicuous location so that you can look at it whenever it strikes your fancy.

Pisces

While you may not be the kind of person to buy into seances or blessing ceremonies, or you may be willing to burn a little sage after that toxic roommate moves out to clear the energy. Though it's an ancient tradition, you also really love the aroma of that smoldering herb.
