Your Daily HomeScope for May 02, 2024

May 2, 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

Take control of your home today. If you don't like the way something looks, instigate a change that will increase livability. Don't shy away from doing a complete overhaul if you have the time, energy, and income.

Taurus

Your flannel sheets are adorable and your satin sheets are decadent. Go for practicalities today -- you may not be living the glamorous life you crave, but you'll be a lot more comfortable.

Gemini

As you come down the stairs for breakfast this morning, the sea of flip-flops in the entryway trips you. The relaxed nature of your house is one of its charming aspects, but the mess is becoming a bit of a health hazard.

Cancer

If you've had some recent failures in the garden, try something that's a little more your speed. Pot some foolproof plants that grow on their own, and toss handfuls of mixed wildflower seeds into the ground. See what happens, and don't fret too much about the outcome.

Leo

Though you may be tempted to hoard scrumptious things today, you'll enjoy them a lot more if you share them with others. Offer your housemate some fresh fruit and veggies from the farmer's market, and he or she'll most likely use them to make something special for you tomorrow.

Virgo

It's way too nice of a night to eat at the kitchen table, and after a day of gardening you may be sick to death of the back patio. Think of an unusual place where you and a friend can eat outdoors. How often have you had candlelight dinners in your front yard? Weather won't allow for it? Bring the outdoors in. You can be creative.

Libra

You will be finding poetry in everything you do today. The sea of yellow leaves in your yard will remind you of Wordsworth while the magnetic poetry on the fridge kicks up your inspiration. Treat your surroundings with care.

Scorpio

You can have the garden of your dreams if you want, but you have to spend the time making it that way. If you don't want to invest every waking day on garden upkeep, then change your expectations. The beauty of your garden will reflect your efforts.

Sagittarius

Something is off in your living room. Is it the gigantic picture hanging over the tiny antique couch? Or perhaps the modern aesthetic mixed with colonial furniture? Try to put your finger on what's bugging you, and give some object a newer (and better) home.

Capricorn

A trip to the discount store will remind you of how much stuff you don't have around the house. Beware, though -- the quality of tin foil at the dollar store is hardly what you'd find in the supermarket. Some things are worth spending a little more.

Aquarius

Some changes around your house don't have to involve buckets of paint or professional movers. Experiment with slipcovers that can move from chair to chair, and don't shy away from relocating pictures from one room to another, letting their migration add freshness to your house.

Pisces

A box of love letters you find beneath the bed may whisk you away to memories you haven't thought of in awhile. The dust, unfortunately, will make you sneeze. Find a better storage spot for the written recounting of your love.
