Your Daily HomeScope for August 19, 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
Like the mailman, you do not let a little weather get in your way today. You want the smell and flavor of barbecued food and are willing to put on your snow boots and cook. Whole berry cranberry sauce and approximately a half a cup of real maple syrup make an excellent marinade or sauce for grilled chicken.
Taurus
Health issues may have left you with not quite the energy you used to have for cleaning. Your children can help. Let them make a game of who can pick up their laundry and sort it fastest. Even little people are able to be empathic and helpful.
Gemini
Dining by candlelight is fine when your other alternative is a harsh ceiling lamp. Really, it will not take the romance out of dinner if you install a chandelier on a dimmer switch. Shop online auctions or thrift stores with your honey for the fixture you want and you will still have money to bring home lobster for dinner.
Cancer
You know that good hygiene is a must when it comes to partners and housemates, and it gives you a chuckle that palm-held phones and computers needed to have a clean interface. As with anything or anyone you bring home today, be certain the thing or the person is of the highest quality. You never know when your mother might stop by.
Leo
In your new home there is room to feed the birds and watch their antics from your cozy kitchen nook. Take time today to enjoy the charming aspects of the house you are each day making more your home.

Virgo
Your roots will provide you the fortitude to face any challenge that will come your way today when you step outside your home. Your home has a comfortable mix of history that blends with your modern decor, from the photographs of your great great grandparents to the pop art portrait a friend did of your youngest child.
Libra
Watching the orange blossoms bloom on your citrus gives you feelings of not only accomplishment, but the cheerful knowledge that you're helping the earth. You can remove spider mites, a common pest on citrus, with a steady stream of lukewarm water over the foliage to dislodge them, before going to a pesticide.
Scorpio
Adapting your kitty to the newest addition of your home is necessary. An old wives' tale states that a cat will steal an infant's breath. What cats love is the smell of milk. Still, letting the family purr factory sleep in the new baby's room is a potential allergen. Check the room for the cat before you close the door.
Sagittarius
While you finish up that sweater or other knitted project, turn on soft music not a news program, lest you drop a stitch. You've gone too far to mess up a perfectly good project. So stay focused and keep counting. You're almost finished.
Capricorn
Question everything, especially those queries that have to do with finances. Are utilities included in your rental agreement? Do you have the deposit and money to turn the utilities on? If not, how will you come up with the cash? Get whatever agreement you make in writing.
Aquarius
Today you have freedom from cords. Wireless means you can sit on the couch and work, but leave the computer out of the bedroom. Experts say if you use the room for sleeping rather than reading, watching TV or working, you program your brain for a more restful sleep.
Pisces
It is time for the photos on your refrigerator door to be moved to the scrapbook or photo box and a new arrangement of family and friends to take their place. Each face is special to you. Think words of love and cheer for each person as you hang their photo.
