Your Daily HomeScope for December 01, 2022



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

Sometimes talking on the phone can feel like a full-time job. All of the plans that you had set out for yourself today may be aborted by an in-depth call from a relative, or a serious catching up with an old friend. Consider getting a hands-free set so you can roam the house and still get some things done.

Taurus

Have you ever eaten a risotto that wasn't allowed to cook long enough? No matter how much butter and cheese you add, nothing will make up for the undercooked rice. Use this as a metaphor today -- don't take on any projects for which you'll be tempted to rush ahead. And, use high-starch Italian rice such as arborio, carnaroli or vialone nano, in your recipe.

Gemini

All it took was a few strong rays of sun to sap your energy. Muster up the last bit of oomph, dig the hammock out of the garage, test the rope for wear then string it between two trees. Congratulations. You are now free to enjoy it. Grab a novel from shelf in the exact spot you stopped alphabetizing, curl up in the hammock and read it or dream of Tuscany.

Cancer

Some flowers are tame and lovely, while others tend to walk on the wild side. Toss seeds to the wind and grow some towering hollyhocks, their bright flowers competing with the yellow heads of sunflowers. Grow vivid flowerbeds in shocking colors; the more fragrant the better.

Leo

Every year you give a little lecture about closing the doors when the heat or air conditioning is on, and every year you wind up finding the back door open while housemates frolic in the yard. Have a door hinge installed. The year won't be the same without your little speech because you will have more time to frolic.

Virgo

If your berry tart comes out a little sour, it's not your fault. Top the tart with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. Today will have little twists that you simply can't control, including everything from tart berries to cranky housemates. Center your being -- you will need calm ingenuity to get through the day.

Libra

Some of the best conversations happen around the dinner table, but lately they have been stagnant. Say to your housemates: Tell me something I don't know about you. The sharing will reveal personality traits and stories both poignant and humorous.

Scorpio

There are worse things to be in love with than a fresh, ripe strawberry. It may be sort of an addiction for you -- a bowl of strawberries calling to you like a siren to a sailor. Go surf for a recipe for Strawberry Honey Lavender Jam and you'll find tasty treats to share your abundance.

Sagittarius

During a meeting to discuss the new park in your neighborhood, you'll realize all of a sudden that you're not bored -- in fact, you really, truly do enjoy being involved. This discovery will feed your participation in home endeavors. Water your lawn before 7am and after 6 p.m. to be conservation wise. Less water evaporates during that time.

Capricorn

There's no use approaching your housemates or friends from an angle -- if you need a favor, just come on out and ask. Need to move those dwarf citrus trees from 15 to 20 gallon containers? No problem. After you lay out the soil mixture on a tarp ask one of them to mix it with the shovel and help you re-pot the trees. Store the excess soil in lined trash cans that have tight lids.

Aquarius

Something about the weather makes you just want to sit down with a cool drink and eat spicy foods, and feel the cleansing power of sweat. Don't forget to wear gloves when you chop up those jalapenos. Set a pan of beer in the garden to lure destructive worms from your tomato vines.

Pisces

When a friend asks what you would like to have for lunch, don't be too specific. When you're a guest, it is fun to be surprised. Most of the time, your friend will tailor a menu to what she thinks you'll like. You'll have an interesting insight into how your tastes are perceived. Bring her a bouquet of flowers from your garden. Use store-bought baby's breath to flesh out the arrangement of peonies.
