Your Daily HomeScope for April 16, 2024

April 16, 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

There's no harm in flirting with the baker or complimenting the butcher on his generous cuts of meat. You're simply building a stronger connection to your food! The more charming you are to these special people, the better quality food you will receive.

Taurus

You're so used to doing chores alone that you may never have considered how fun they can be with a partner. If you're cleaning the kitchen, have your housemate work on the pantry. Stay close together and keep up the chatter -- having company will make the job seem like hangout time.

Gemini

With impending birthdays, deadlines at work, and a dozen people you need to call back you may be feeling overwhelmed. Spend a half hour writing quick emails to those you can't call back right away. Make a phone date for later and focus on wrapping up this busy time of your life.

Cancer

With the change of seasons comes a whole new slew of issues at home. Pesky problems may be keeping you from enjoying the weather. Put a prompt and permanent end to the problem.

Leo

The card-making software you received as a gift seemed hokey at the time, but as birthdays and holidays come up, you find yourself making cards and getting great results! Everyone loves that you take the time to do these personal things.

Virgo

You may not be the best at keeping in touch with old friends, but when you do it is from the heart. Put together a care package for a distant loved one today. Pull out the old photos and attach them to a lovely letter. Don't pay any attention to how much time has passed since your last correspondence -- it is not important.

Libra

Because of your balanced nature, you are open to compromises when it comes to aesthetics, but just for once you wouldn't mind seeing what your vision would look like untainted. Experiment artistically with media that don't require compromise. Hone your tastes.

Scorpio

You're so used to fighting to be heard around your house that you didn't realize the obvious solution -- sometimes letting others get their way is the easiest route to take. You're not being passive if you take the high road.

Sagittarius

For the last time, you have no idea where your housemate left his sunglasses. You may be wondering if you look like an information booth! You've known the answers to your house's little mysteries for so long, it will take time to get rid of that reputation.

Capricorn

You've been spending so much time at work that you haven't connected with your garden. Take time (literally) to smell the roses, even if it means that you walk more slowly from your entryway to your car.

Aquarius

Is it possible that you have intellectualized your knitting into a point of complete paralysis? If the instructions don't make sense, you are most likely thinking about them too hard. Stop thinking and start knitting -- the pattern will reveal itself in time.

Pisces

Before today, you couldn't figure out what was wrong with the den. You had painted the walls blue -- a color you love -- and yet the room felt cold. But now you've realized it's not the weather -- it's the color. A nice coral tone will add a layer of tropical warmth to the setting.
