Your Daily HomeScope for July 09, 2024

July 9, 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

After somehow letting a plant go un-watered for an unprecedented four weeks, you may have given it up for dead. Try adding a little bit of water every day for a couple more weeks. Every once in a while, the roots can be reawakened, impressing even the biggest skeptics.

Taurus

Expect to get a little bit of publicity this week, allowing you to become a local celebrity. Relish in how good it feels to be recognized for your talents. Whether it's your prize-winning chili recipe or your handcrafted jewelry, enjoy the praise.

Gemini

Your plans for the day were noble -- get out the ladder, clean the cobwebs from the corners of the vaulted ceiling and replace light bulbs in the chandelier. But somehow, you haven't been able to get out of the easy chair. Good thing you have time tomorrow, too!

Cancer

At the very last minute, you might have some second thoughts at the hardware store. For months you've been planning on tile in the kitchen, but suddenly hardwood seems very attractive. It's got to be one or the other -- you can't walk around on concrete floors forever.

Leo

Be on the lookout for a slow, yet serious, takeover in your yard this week. The wet weather has brought slugs out of the woodwork and simultaneously has driven you inside. Get out there in the cold and see what you can do to prevent an ambush.

Virgo

It may have just gotten cold enough that you have no interest in leaving the house. But what can you do with all of your pent up energy? This could be the perfect time to hang out in the garage with a space heater and finally sand down the antique cabinet.

Libra

Though you are not prone to regret or remorse, you may have some doubts about your decision to paint the dining room in a salmon hue. It seemed warm at the time, but now it seems kind of fishy. If it's making you lose your appetite, invest in a different color.

Scorpio

Don't be surprised when new life springs into your house. A new stalk on your banana plant may have just started poking its head out from the soil. Celebrate the plant's growth in a time when so much other life is hibernating.

Sagittarius

If you can, stay in bed as late as possible today. It may be the only time you'll find to read long chapters from the book you're reading, or devour the latest trends in your favorite magazine. Prop up some pillows and don't let anyone know that you're awake!

Capricorn

The time for decision-making has come. As you gaze gloomily out at the foul weather, you will want nothing more than to finally decide where you will spend your next vacation. Pick a warm spot on the map and buy those tickets!

Aquarius

A delicious yet heavy dinner will have you running at a laughably slow pace this evening. Find a comfortable chair, pull a blanket over yourself and let the meat and potatoes from dinner lull you into a comfortable after dinner nap.

Pisces

You spend enough time laying horizontally on the couch, you might as well invest in the softest, most comfortable throw pillows available. Think about textures -- look for pillows that are not just plush, but are downright fuzzy.
