Your Daily HomeScope for July 17, 2024

July 17, 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

With so much to do today, you'll need to prioritize your to-do list. Make sure you tackle the things you have to do, like defrosting dinner or buying extra towels for guests, before you tackle the fun tasks, like finishing up your sock monkey.

Taurus

If you don't find a way to relax pretty soon, some tension may come through in your meal. Though you may be feeling stressed, be careful not to rub the pork loin the wrong way. You may wind up with tough meat and soupy gravy.

Gemini

Your good mood will be greatly noted as you walk around the house humming tunes. You may be in such a great mood, in fact, that you will be willing to give your least favorite household eyesore a second look, almost finding charm in the ugly piece of furniture.

Cancer

As much as you would like to stay in and have a long, casual meal around the dining room table, try to be flexible with your housemates. If someone in your house would rather dress to the nines and eat out, start looking through your closet and play along.

Leo

Be wary of some egos clashing today as you and another fabulous cook enter the kitchen. Have a discussion about the menu and pick a single course to work on. Though there may be some competition, you'll work much better if you don't try to team up on a dish.

Virgo

As a lesson in patience, take some time to experiment with Arborio rice today. In order to get the richest and creamiest risotto, you must be willing to stir in a little broth at a time, not allowing yourself to eat until the rice is perfectly cooked.

Libra

In the midst of a stressful week, the answer to your woes may not be a hot bath. What you might just need is an impromptu snowball fight, replete with sneak attacks and uproarious laughter. The hot bath can follow after, but you'll already be restored.

Scorpio

Does the house feel like it's getting smaller? Additional people in your house, particularly older relatives, may be making your home feel like it's at full capacity. You may feel like you're regressing, but don't feel bad if you need to hide out in your bedroom as you did in childhood.

Sagittarius

Good will, good music, and good food will open your mind up to meeting new people this evening. As you launch into sincere laughter with a relative stranger, you may even be wondering why you don't behave like this all year round.

Capricorn

Effect a small change in your house today -- preferably one that is subtle enough no one will notice! But be careful -- if you switch out butter for margarine in your mashed potatoes, make sure you hide the container in the back of the fridge.

Aquarius

You can't seem to get enough of the festivities, guests and constant entertainment this week. Though this may be your favorite time of the year, prepare yourself for a little bit of quiet home-time next week. Otherwise, the silence might be a bit jarring.

Pisces

A truly compassionate emotion may come over you this week as you think about what you can do for the less fortunate. Bake some goodies to bring to a nearby shelter. The experience will change your perception of gratitude for a good long time.
