Your Daily HomeScope for January 13, 2024

January 13, 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

When your neighbor mentions the idea of joining you on your excursion to the market and plant store, you are surprisingly agreeable and charming -- even when you had envisioned going alone. Your pleasant disposition does wonders for hers. Don't be surprised if you have a fresh-baked pie waiting for you later on.

Taurus

Make digital scrapbooking a family project. Remember how much fun it is to watch old home movies and leaf through photo albums from your childhood? The moments you are living right now could be part of a digital collage that you look back on.

Gemini

Be straightforward when confronting a housemate or partners about bills or debts. Not everyone is as adept as handling money as you, but that's no reason to judge too harshly. Explain what you need and don't make a lot of concessions. After all, this is your financial health too.

Cancer

No brainchild is too wild for contemplation -- listen to your intuition and free your imagination! When brainstorming about new ways to redecorate the living room, use up your plethora of produce as themes for your party. The crazier the ideas the better.

Leo

Don't feel like hemming those pants in your sewing room? Take your mending outdoors. The light of the late-evening sun is perfect for darning socks or resewing buttons. Plus, after a day spent inside, hovering over a keyboard, you'll take all the fresh air you can get.

Virgo

Sweat pea vines are a full explosion of color. You can pick bouquets for your home and bring bunches of this fresh, simple, country flower to coworkers as a happy surprise. They will be more than happy to help the next time you need a hand.

Libra

You could be privy to a great deal of physical strength and energy if only you could rouse your housemates from their comfortable lawn chairs. A peach or blueberry smoothie could be good inspiration for a few minutes of dusting cobwebs from above and below the deck.

Scorpio

The bright colors of Frida Kahlo's paintings and the natural landscapes and flowers of Georgia O'Keefe offer inspiration for decorating and entertaining. Let your dahlia garden and hydrangeas come indoors as you fall in love with the juxtaposition and romance of radiant color and nature.

Sagittarius

All you want to do today is to clear out clutter from every nook and cranny of your life. Choose an arena in which you will exercise your powers of streamlining and downsizing. At day's end you'll feel as if you've detoxified and cleansed your home. Now it's time to work on yourself!

Capricorn

Ever tried making homemade sorbet or gelato? Why stop with smoothies when you can create frozen desserts highlighting the bounty of gorgeous fruits. Your household will be screaming for your ice cream of peach ginger, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb and fresh mint chocolate.

Aquarius

Don't be too proud to ask for help, and next time perhaps you can do it on your own. You're excited by understanding the inner workings of those tools and appliances that add so much to your life. So never put away dirty tools: muck is easier to remove when it's not dried on the surface.

Pisces

Take your adventurous spirit into the kitchen today for a grand experiment with vegetables. Imagine combinations with broccoli rabe and fava beans, or sugar snap peas, sweet corn and peppers in a vibrant and colorful salad. Eat outside or by a window while the sun is still shining.
