Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Infatuation is not just a state of mind that happens between people. Attractive enterprises are likely to stir up feelings of infatuation also. But it's about time you cut yourself free from that single-track mindedness. You'll get busy exploring your world and realize that you are interested in so many things, it would be impossible for you to ever be bored. You'll also be in a mischievous mood, and you'll have an audience egging you on. Is the world ready for your kind of fun?
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Ask anyone who has risen to superstar status- failing makes you a success. You need the lessons so you can master the lessons. You're like a psychic sponge, absorbing new wisdom wherever you go. There's something to glean from every experience- but here's one you can skip. The messenger is always in a precarious position. Avoid being the messenger today.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
This week represents a magical crossing. Regardless of the age you're coming into, you'll feel empowered by the new era. Tell people how to handle you. You're the star because of the thing you're very good at. Let others know where you want to focus. You have some good stories bursting to be told. If you explain yourself well enough, you'll never have to say "I guess you had to be there."
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You'll be an asset to your group in hectic times. The more excited things get the calmer you'll become. You'll mingle in a new crowd this week. Do you have anything in common with them? On the surface it wouldn't appear so, but make the effort to go a little deeper. You'll take a judicious trip down memory lane, and it will be a little like cropping a picture and keeping the best parts of the image in frame.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You may become genuinely mad about something, but be careful not to lose your composure completely. Blow off steam in private. Children and immature adults throw tantrums. If you can't do what you want, then keep your wits about you and look for new opportunities. There is an aura of excitement about you, and your presence will be uniquely energizing, if you can hold your combativeness in check.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Some of your thoughts will be on repeat again tomorrow. There will be unique thoughts too. You usually think too much about how you'll add humor, fun and spontaneity to the day- but this week it just happens naturally for you. If you keep up the optimism over the next three days, things will go very well for you. With flawless execution, you'll pull off a few miracles in a row.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
Sometimes you operate like a self-contained business of one, and other times, you behave like a cog in the wheel of a large organization. The naysayers and pessimists in your midst serve an important function. Bounce your ideas around with someone who falls into that category. You know how to tell the truth in a way that is fair and constructive for all involved. Your honesty earns you respect.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
You'll be presenting yourself to people who are distracted. You may also find yourself increasingly sensitive to environmental persuasions. Refocus, and capture their attention before you try to impart anything important. Like any good superhero, your true identity must at times be hidden. Only insiders are trusted with the information about your strength and power.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
There is a buffer zone around you now, and you are careful to include only those who have proven themselves worthy of getting close to you. Simplicity is an ideal that is usually much more difficult to attain than it looks. Your ability to sense what matters and stay on track will be in high demand, making others' lives easier. You'll strike just the pleasing tone that sells what you're offering without an ounce of hassle or pressure, then send them their way.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Others think of you as an enthusiastic team player, because you are loyal and sincere. Anyone can describe a problem. You need to take it two steps further, proposing a solution and gaining the cooperation of anyone connected to that solution. You have a powerful radar system that extends from your heart to the hearts of those around you.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
You are the one who will be asked to perform technical and support functions that others can't figure out or don't do as well as you do. Your methods, though not exactly madcap, are somewhat contrary to the conventional approach. This is what earns you fans and friends today. You will be assertive when you need to be, but mostly laid back.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You have acted more sensibly than others around you, and you will begin to see the benefit of those choices very soon. Though you're all for working smart instead of just hand, sometimes there's just no getting around it. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get dirty. Your shift in priorities will make you feel greater ease at work and in finance.
[OOC Note: The horoscopes are considered by most in the City to be very accurate, since a lady with an ability for this sort of thing provides them. Use them as you will - accurate or not.]

A goat-!" followed by three gunshots, Mordecai Heller was found in the kitchen of his residence at around 2am on Sunday. The shots were fired from Heller's own weapon. There were no finger prints or other evidence left behind, and a lack of forced entry does point to him having known the murderer. No one was seen entering or exiting the apartment.
- Affordable Housing? Peek in our Storage Crates! An AGI-owned construction company announces plans to build low-income housing out of used insulated shipping containers. The large lot selected for this project is near the intersection of sectors 8, 10 & 11, and rental price for these units is set at an outstandingly low $200 a month. Groundbreaking on the project begins Monday, and because of easy-installation, the first 25-unit wing of the compound is scheduled to be completed by June 10th. Leasing available NOW, with first priority to AGI affiliates.
