Your Daily HomeScope for August 02, 2023

August 2, 2023



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

Making a wreath is a personal expression of your creativity. Your first consideration is shape. You are likely to find many options in a craft store, but if not, dried grass such as hay and floral wire will work great, too.

Taurus

There will be a surprise reason to celebrate today. The crowning touch of your impromptu Italian feat tonight is the bruschetta with its chopped tomatoes, olive oil and mushrooms. Bring the flavor of Tuscany home by rubbing a garlic clove around the edges of the peasant bread after it is toasted. This will flavor the whole slice.

Gemini

The austerity of your bathroom will be especially appealing after the relative chaos of the day. Those three pictures you hung above the bath of your trip to the south of France are sure to add to your eventual state of relaxation.

Cancer

Show off in the kitchen today as you help a friend with the appetizers. Look like a gourmand even though the cooking classes have not taken you quite that far. To cut zucchini, carrots, cucumbers and other cylindrical vegetables into fans, place two chopsticks on either side, and then apply light pressure to open the fans.

Leo

It is time the project you began went to phase two. Pathos vine has a tendency to wrap itself around the nearest object. Give it a pole to cling to if you put it in an upright pot.

Virgo

Efficiency is the key to success today. Rearranging your home office so you have an L-shaped desk area -- instead of moving to the dining table a few times each week -- may be the answer to spreading out and working where you are centered on the task.

Libra

Four, straight-arm chairs paired in facing rows with a coffee table in between invite conversation, and conversation is going to make or break this day. Don't fret. You are up to the challenge.

Scorpio

Dig deeper today. Sure, the apartment's nice, but what about the rest of the community? If you're planning on living here for a couple of years, make sure you jibe with the other dwellers. Today is good for researching instead of touring.

Sagittarius

Unseasonably, your spider plant has begun to shoot of baby spiders (roots, suspended in the atmosphere). Maybe it has something to do with your own feelings of displacement. Know that you did right and are now free to grow in the light.

Capricorn

It will be a day of trying to put things together so they come out just right -- down to the colorful glass bead you will slip over a few pieces of bear grass in that tall vase with the lily. Beautiful simplicity!

Aquarius

Tea and antiques are the perfect marriage. Now that you are the mistress of your own domain, you can choose to give away the set of china that no longer suits you. Instead, go for a mismatch set of tea cups, each one chosen because you thought it beautiful.

Pisces

Bougainvillea or paper vines like a lot of sun but not a lot of water. If you can afford it, a trip to visit a friend in a warmer climate would improve her spirits and yours. Check online travel sites for last-minute deals.
