Sunday Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
It will become quite clear to you today that you are much more popular with your contemporaries than you ever thought. This stir to your confidence may be the cause of an inattentive slip-up, if you're not careful to keep your ego in check. Take plenty of time to examine everything that needs a closer look. You realized that it won't be enough to listen to the words another person is saying. You'll need to read into signs, symbols and gestures to get the full picture.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Success is important to you, but it shouldn't come at all costs. Think of your reputation and how you could possibly alienate others whom you may need down the line. Put on your thinking cap and check all the advertisements, because friends will be looking to you to come up with an event in which to participate. When you catch a movie, you can often guess the ending before anyone else. You really enjoy a situation in which the ending is unpredictable.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
What you put down on paper, type into a computer, or speak into an NV has your energy in it. Everything you touch or think about will be forever changed by your imprint. Don't depending too heavily upon chance or luck to achieve your goals, rely only on yourself. Achievement is possible, but you must be consist ant. It might be left to you to avert an altercation between two friends. Because you like both equally, you'll be able to cool their heads.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You can't control the flip-flopping and vacillating of others, but you can be a steadfast example. You'll handle your own end, just like you said you would. It can always be tempting to blame our mistakes on someone else, but it only makes matters worse in the long run. Fessing up to your errors will win you admirers. The little bits of money you've been squirreling away have finally added up to the whopping sum you need to get that something you've been hankering for, so go out and get it!
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You are too proud to ask for favors from others, even those who would gladly offer up whatever help and resources you need. Remember that needing help doesn't mean you are weak. Being a trifle restless and hard to get along with makes you the perfect candidate to spend some time with active friends who can put you in a happier mood. Don't hesitate to do so today. Be wary of jumping to conclusions before you have all the necessary facts. Once all the information gets out in the open, you might have to make an embarrassing apology.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Finally you get the treatment you prefer. This might be because you stopped expecting others to be any particular way. By making yourself happy, you've been teaching others to do the same. Because conditions in general tend to be more favorable for you than usual, this is likely to be a perfect day to reap some opportunities from unexpected sources. Because of one hasty judgement call, you might spend just as much time placating co-workers as you do trying to be productive. To avoid this, think before you act.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
If you're someone who is presently unattached, this is the perfect week to get out and mingle. Strangers will find you far more appealing than usual. If you allow expediency to govern your actions, any hasty moves you cause further delays. Careful action brings about desirable results, while erratic ones create havoc. Your perfectionist streak will come out this week, and you may have trouble accepting a world where shades of grey must be lived with.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
Should conflicting opinions between you and a partner become trying, remember that minor concessions and a few affectionate hugs could easily restore a common bond. Because you are one in tune with the world, don't be surprise by the clout and influence you may find yourself having today. Press for that which could advance your ambitions. Everything turns out for the better when you're building on stellar ideas. Brainstorm until you get to that irresistibly great concept.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Some kind of that you take on, expecting it to be easy as 1-2-3, is likely to turn out much more difficult. Regroup and try again, but be prepared to take it to 4-5-6. Some good news that is coming to you from a distant venue is trying to break through. Be sure to check all the sources you use for info. You are more discriminating than most about friendships, because you realize that you become just like the people you spend time with.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Generally, you're pretty good at managing your resources, but this may not be a good week to do so alone. To be on the safe side, enlist a friend's help in balancing your budget. Two separate friends of yours, unaware of each other, are both engaging in something on your behalf this week in hopes of being able to acquire something you've been craving. games can be romantic, but there's also a time to stop playing around. If someone correctly discovers the way to your heart, do not deny that he or she has found it.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Anybody you meets you for the first time this week will be favorably impressed. There is a strong chance you will acquire a lifelong pal. You will be overloaded suddenly with a wealth of stellar information. What should you do with it? Don't try to figure it all out in one day. Sit with this, but don't set it aside completely! Instead of getting down to business when time means money, you could allow yourself to be dragged off course with distractions. Playing catch-up later could prevent you from meeting goals.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Without thinking, sometimes you can end up being more of a talker than a doer. All of your good intentions could be useless if you allow this to happen. A project you're able to complete today is likely to give you a deep and profound sense of accomplishment. Someone whose attention you've been trying to attract may also notice it. You'll be very concerned with making someone else happy. You'll sit back and look for clues about what the other person needs, and have a solid game plan by the weekend.
[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.]
News & Advertisements
- Trains were briefly delayed earlier this morning by the discovery of two bodies on the tracks sometime in the last hours of the Darkness. Officials are uncertain of how the bodies got there, but the state they were found in suggests they died violently. The extensive trail left by their remains on the tracks suggest they were dragged a considerable distance. There appears to have been no breaches in the Darkness-proofing of the subway, so officials suspect an individual with powers may be behind the deaths.
- AGI Hearing Rescheduled
The hearing regarding the city of Siren's Port's lawsuit against the AGI Liquor Control Board has been rescheduled to Monday, December 5th. This is a preliminary hearing where a judge will determine the viability of the case to stand up in court, and if sufficient evidence of wrongdoing is found, a formal criminal complaint trial will begin within several weeks. The previous hearing was postponed after a shocking attack on the lead prosecutor outside the courthouse earlier this month. In the aftermath of that incident, the city has vowed for better security around the courthouse, including periodic sweeps by security guards around the courthouse grounds.
