Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You have a concise way of expressing yourself and, because of this, people get your point right away. Assert what you want this week and set a clear course for yourself so you know you'll get it. Steer clear of other people's emotional problems, even if you think you can help them in some way. This week can turn even your closest friends against you if you're not careful.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
You'll see the truth in all of its stark beautify and you'll want to tell it to the world. However, it might be better to keep it to yourself for now. Stay calm when dealing with your co-workers this week; if you tell them what you really think, you might find your reputation and status suffering for it. This is not a good time to be honest. Tell them what they want to hear instead.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Partnering with others has always been your strong suit. Sharing something you have in common with others is a rewarding pastime for you. Make some decisions about how you want to be with your loved ones and what you attempt to accomplish by day's end. Social situations go better when you give yourself something to do. Try to meet new people this week and make yourself useful.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Now is the time for you to lead. You'll bring out the best in others and find ways to use their unique qualities and talents to their greatest potential. So long as others are able to bring something to the table that you can't, a partnership can be quite advantageous to you. Life is easier when someone is sharing your burdens. It might be hard to cut through the fog of misinformation this week and you should certainly be on your guard where finances are concerned, but don't assume that others are looking to cheat you. You'll start to look paranoid if you do.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You strive to reach the level of personal development where you never expect anything in return for your generosity. The gifts you give that don't cost a penny will be the most needed this week. The goodness you radiate will spread infect those around you. Being in a gregarious mood is likely to produce a more industrious you. Spend your time productively this week and don't waste a moment.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Business and pleasure can make a compatible mix if you know how to handle it. Be responsible and serious when discussing the job and then be a free spirit when the work is finished. The passion in you is a cauldron of hot vitality. As you pour yourself into an endeavor, things will begin to change very quickly. What you want to achieve is within the realm of possibility if you simply take the time to discover it.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
You will offer your cooperation to someone with a strong personality. To avoid getting swallowed up by this person's drive, maintain your boundaries. Fate demands that you bring a project you started months ago to an end, and quickly, so you can focus on a much higher goal. Live up to your full potential. Even if you are a slow starter, there are strong indications that you will still be a strong finisher at the end, provided that you ignore any competition you have.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
You'll become an important person in someone's life this week. It is your previous success in your school or family life that qualifies you for this job. As long as you are willing to work for what you want and don't leave anything to chance, you can make notable improvements in your life. Plan your schedule ahead of time so there's plenty of room in your week to do what you need and want to do.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
It's not in your nature to be a wallflower, so don't start now, regardless of the reasons and circumstances. Something might develop for you later in the week and you may experience something for for the first time. You have your moments of being loving and caring this week, but take care. You are a good judge of character; in a world where "what is" changes so rapidly, you should put your skills to work.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
You usually have very strong allies, but this week you might notice that some of your associates are all too willing to wrap things up with you. It doesn't mean things are going to suddenly end. Instead, take this as an opportunity to open doors you haven't thought of looking through before. Adapt yourself to the situation and try to improve upon what you find. Who knows? You might discover something worthwhile.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
This is an excellent time to commit yourself to a long term goal. You might not get any instantaneous results, but you'll reap the benefits over a much longer period of time. Your life could improve and transform in various ways in your favor. Don't listen to the naysayers - just do it. This week might also bring about something passionate and intense. Keep your eyes peeled or it might just pass you by.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Whatever challenges you face this week, you will rise above them with flying colors and ease. Others may think you're cheating or that you've gotten others to do the work for you, but don't listen to them. They may see you as emotionally soft, and maybe you are, but you also possess a core of steel. Pay attention to your instincts this week and don't allow yourself to be led astray, especially when it comes to family or close friends. You may want to take a lesson in biting your tongue around them.

- Popular writer and self-claimed Darkness expert Darwin Watts might just be moving up in the world of education as a published author. According to the latest bestseller lists, his first children’s book, "Things That Go Bump in The Darkness" has sold record-breaking copies since its release in June, and is considered a summer favorite for the city’s young children. But is it an instant classroom classic? Darkness education and safety has been taught in schools since Siren’s Port schools opened up, as elementary as reading, writing and arithmetic. The board of education has just placed Watts’ book on the mandatory fall curriculum for third graders, making it a newly assigned reading staple.
- SERO Discovers Hivemind Fungus!
A press release by SERO Labs notes a strange yet interesting breakthrough in their still ongoing study. The spores of the foreign species of fungi that first appeared near the core, while similar to a ‘Puffball Mushroom’ in appearance, behave very differently when tested in a controlled setting. When placed among various types of living plant or animal tissue, these spores demonstrate a strong cytotropic tendency to bind to cellular nerve tissue. Once connected, these spores do not mature into anything resembling their fruiting puffballs, but develop smaller structures which secrete complex pheromones, similar to those used in ant colony communication.
Does the fungus among us gather information and then transmit it among one another? What effect is it meant to have on the host body? As our SERO researchers continue to speculate, sprayers out in the field are still exterminate the Puffballs with fungicide as they continue to populate the urban landscape of Sector 4. Citizens are advised to contact the SERO Labs Hotline extension 38644 to report any problem areas.
- Ready for Tomorrow’s Backyard Barbecue? Get all your grilling goods at Mom’s Meats and Pop’s Produce. A mountain of tender ribs, juicy aged steaks & thick burger patties are half off from 3pm-Siren only! Also, pick up our homemade marinades and dry rub seasonings!
