Your Daily HomeScope for July 07, 2024

July 7, 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

You could really use some privacy in your backyard, but tall wooden fences seem so drab. Why not plant bamboo around the perimeter of your yard? It may take a while for them to achieve good height, but there's not a more beautiful barrier.

Taurus

A rare moment of self-indulgence will grasp you in the afternoon when you decide to devour an entire avocado before anyone gets home. In the end, eating the whole thing is better than leaving just a few small, unsatisfying slices for others to snack on.

Gemini

With a bit too much on your plate this week, it will be a huge relief when your housemate offers to help with a chore. Make sure you go over the steps carefully -- nothing is more dangerous than a bottle of bleach near your apple-green blouse.

Cancer

A moody housemate will make domestic bliss difficult to find this week. To lift the fog, make something special in the kitchen. Whether it's an apple tart or a bagel dog, make sure it's your housemate's favorite comfort food.

Leo

A feeling of nostalgia may find you wishing you could flip through prints of your most recent photos rather than scan through them on your computer. A photo printing dock will allow you to go back to the bygone days of the photo album.

Virgo

The hand-painted tiles from Spain will be a few weeks late, so the rest of the kitchen remodel is on hold until then, as well. As you begin to feel aggravated, remember that you have only two weeks to wait, but you'll have the rest of your life to enjoy them.

Libra

You may not think you have much skill when it comes to certain visual arts, but your appreciation is what makes the pieces you've picked for the house so beautiful. You don't need to be the artist to know where the art should hang.

Scorpio

Rather than go nine rounds to figure out what you and your housemates want on the pizza, go through the list of toppings and let everyone say two things that they don't want. Whatever items are left over are what's going on the pie!

Sagittarius

The backyard has been a bare plot of land since you've moved in, and each day you imagine how you would like to use it. Make a decision soon -- will it have a lawn or a pool? -- and turn the potential into a reality.

Capricorn

Today may be frustrating, as you have the energy to call the customer service line at the gas company, but you can't get them to understand that your pilot light is out. Hold the line -- your persistence will get to the bottom of this.

Aquarius

Take a moment to get to know an unlikely person -- say hello to the mailman when he comes by, or stop to chat with the lady behind the counter at the bakery. You can look forward to many more days of great conversation (and excellent service!).

Pisces

Some eyesores in your house have been there for so long, you almost don't see them anymore. Effect change and take it up a notch. If you get rid of the old recliner, replace it with a comfy, overstuffed chair and a matching ottoman.
