Your Daily HomeScope for January 16, 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
The side yard has been bothering you for quite some time, functioning as little more than a woodpile. Suddenly today you will have a vision for what it will be. Whether it's your new vegetable patch or a terrace with a chimney, begin sketching out your plans right away. A contractor may have just the amount of bricks you need, left over from another job, at a reduced price.
Taurus
When your neighbor hangs out her laundry on a line, you may think she's a bit weird and eccentric, but when you realize that she has hung the clothes chromatically, from darks to lights, you'll simply think that it looks beautiful. Take a moment to appreciate the artfulness in your own backyard. Dryers naturally pull fibers from clothes that air drying does not.
Gemini
A flower tucked into the napkin ring adds a delicate touch to your dining table tonight. The Mexican poppies spark conversation with the rather odd stranger seated next to you. Trust that your friends were open enough to bring him and that the rest will find the whole scenario interesting, not annoying. You'll learn something interesting if you open up your minds.
Cancer
Sometimes when you hang out with wealthier friends, you can't help but feel as though you have lots of money too. After a decadent lunch this week, make sure that you don't overspend on a simple household item. Extend the life of your dryer by sucking the lint at the bottom of the trap with the vacuum attachment. Your consistent frugality is what makes your household function so well.
Leo
All year long you look forward to the tomatoes growing in your yard -- now that you're in the homestretch, you find the wait unbearable. Resist temptation to pick prematurely. You're almost there. Plan for the day when you can sautee grape tomatoes with shallots and garlic in olive oil. Toss with pasta for a light meal.

Virgo
Have you really been utilizing your walls to their greatest ability? And how about the storage space beneath the end tables in the living room? If you have one closet that is filled to the max and a bunch of shelves and cabinets that are nearly empty, you may want to reconsider your organization.
Libra
Today will not be all about you. If your housemate is feeling a bit sad, bake him cookies, and if he likes nuts in them but you don't, opt to include nuts. You're a great listener and will be an especially good listener today. Utilize this skill in your household. Place a bowl of the raw almonds you didn't use in the cookies near the TV remote for quick snacking.
Scorpio
Your night of relaxed barbecue dinner under the stars could burst into a shouting match unexpectedly. Not only is your homemade barbecue sauce explosive, but so are the tempers of a few people in your house. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to tame the barbeque flames and cool drinks and soft music to settle tempers.
Sagittarius
With one glorious plug of a cord, your indoor home theater is fully in action! Well, almost in action. Try not to get frustrated by all of the setting up that must be done once your gear is plugged in. It's all part of the process. Sprinkle your movie popcorn with the dry chesses packet from the macaroni mix for a tasty celebration treat.
Capricorn
With a wicked grin, you'll smear a good dollop of low-fat mayonnaise on your housemate's sandwich, wondering if he'll notice. Chances are he'll never say a word, and thus you'll instigate a new routine without ever having to have a 'talk.' Congratulate yourself on your sneakiness. Adding whole grains to your homemade bread is the next healthy step.
Aquarius
Okay, admit it. You bought the 6.5 quart crockpot because of the pretty purple color. You rarely cook in a crock pot during the summer so it is really just to show off on your counter. While you are indulging whims, take out the cake pedestal with dancing feet beneath and make a two-tiered lemon cake for the office luncheon.
Pisces
While you may not be the kind of person to go for midnight ceremonies or ancient voodoo, you may be willing to burn a little sage before moving your furniture into the room. Though it's an age-old tradition to clear out spirits, you also happen to really like the aroma.
