Your Daily HomeScope for August 20, 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

There is an art to dressing windows, a natural focal point in any room. The drapes you installed for warmth and protection against winter's cold are fine, but today decide what you want the windows to look like come spring, then start that gossamer curtained project.

Taurus

If you would have less to keep track of, cancel the book and music club subscriptions. Your postman will thank you for all the things you forgot not to order and always seem to be returning.

Gemini

Coaxing children to eat will not be a chore when you engage a little creativity. Enoki mushrooms look like they might be from another planet. They taste best raw on salads and if you are serving them to your children as a new taste experience add olives for eyes, a carrot for the nose, a slice of red bell pepper for the smile and these mushrooms for spiky hair.

Cancer

Cell phones and their cases are part of a working woman's professional look. Today is about the choice you will make. That pink phone might be great for your teenage daughter, but skip to something more businesslike in appearance to ensure your personal success.

Leo

There has to be more to life that just a burger, even though that is what your elementary age children have requested for dinner. Don't tell them the meat is ground turkey. Melt provolone cheese on top for the adults. Add sliced tomatoes and Greek olives to the top as well.

Virgo

Secure your Bluetooth device as you work around your home today. The time is ripe for accidents and your earpiece does not need a bath with your blue jeans -- plus, your bank account doesn't need the added strain.

Libra

Take your time, follow common-sense directions, and you will not go wrong today. When you are arranging flowers in a vase and want to add foliage, a little lukewarm water and mild dish soap will brighten the leaves. Greenery also responds well to immersion in water.

Scorpio

Waste not want not goes the old adage. Undressed, leftover salad greens, and the bits, pieces and parts of vegetables you do not necessarily eat can be simmered together to make great vegetable soup stock.

Sagittarius

It takes seconds to wipe the counter where you butter your toast each morning. Little cleanups now can mean avoiding major ones later. And that's fantastic situation, especially if guests feel like showing up unannounced.

Capricorn

Relish the hallmark of friendship. The pretty, sunset-colored roses that your secret pal sent are about to stop drinking water. Tie them in a bunch and dry them upside down. After they are dry, spray with a fixative and arrange in a vase in the guest bedroom.

Aquarius

Make a list today of what appeals to you most in other homes you have been in, and you will have achieved a big step in locating the house of your dreams. And don't hesitate to keep a separate list -- a wish list to consider if money wasn't an issue.

Pisces

Going wireless means your teens have computer access from their bedroom. Discuss rules and consequences for breaking them tonight before your children log on to the web. And for anything to stick, enforce what you say.
