Your Daily HomeScope for July 25, 2024

July 25, 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

At the risk of sounding a bit micro-managerial, it is in your best interest to be explicit with any helpers today. Whether it's a housemate helping you set the table or a new gardener tackling the hillside, spell out the instructions if you want it done right.

Taurus

You may feel a bit baffled by options today. After all, how hard could it be to buy a new rug? Prepare to be torn between teal and red. And would you prefer a box weave or plush chenille? Be true to the vision you had before walking into the store.

Gemini

It may seem that your follow-through skills are lacking as you walk into your upturned craft room today. Though you may not have glued the last layer of applique on to your decoupage project, take pride in the creative energy that exudes from this room.

Cancer

In all decorative choices today, take a walk on the wild side. You may have spent a little bit too much time working with beige and taupe. Why not dabble in fuchsia? Or go dramatic with wine reds and blacks? Expect to experiment with your color palette.

Leo

Though it may require super-human powers, try to put aside your exhaustion today and plow through into the event this evening. You'll have the rest of the week to put your feet up on the ottoman, but tonight, your presence and energy will mean a lot to the room.

Virgo

Think about the finer details as you mill about the house today. What is it, after all, that makes a home feel like a home? Lay down shelf paper in the kitchen cabinets and put magazines within reach of the comfiest chairs. These are the small, important details.

Libra

After an eternity, all of your online shopping packages will arrive in one day. What is one to do with all of this stuff? Spend an afternoon sorting through your goodies, finding containers, space on the shelf and a place in your home for your new acquisitions.

Scorpio

As you browse the produce aisle today, take a moment to really look at each piece of fruit. Instead of reaching for the most perfect apple in the bunch, look for unusual shapes and interesting coloring, appreciating the similarities as well as the differences.

Sagittarius

In addition to having a lot on your mind, you may also have a lot on your schedule. Be grateful for your errands and responsibilities. These distractions will keep you busy, not allowing you to overanalyze the issues in your mind.

Capricorn

As you meet with a landscaper for the first time, be absolutely clear about what you want. Bring photos of your favorite flowers and gardens that you admire and make sure that both of your creative energies mesh before committing.

Aquarius

Go hunting for unique pieces today, not worrying too much about how they will fit into the grand scheme of your home. A trip to a salvage yard may have you wanting to plant a pine tree in a bathtub or carting home a crate of antique glass.

Pisces

Take on a project that can be started and finished in one day. Whether it's a pair of baby booties knit in a chunky yarn, or assembling a lamp kit within a vintage jug, enjoy the creative process as well as the sense of completion.
