Horoscopes

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Love awaits at Route 401 exit 435, but you need to be quick or you’ll miss it.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20)

At some point this week, you will be hit with an overwhelming urge to watch the hit 2013 film Turbo, starring Ryan Reynolds in the role of the eponymous protagonist, a small snail with big dreams.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Dream big. More specifically, dream of the boulder with a diameter of about 10 meters before it becomes a very immediate reality later this week.

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Nothing of note will happen to you this week, but you just WAIT until next week. You’re in for a hell of a ride, kid.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This week, you will come to find that humans and spiders are really not all that different.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. So too, you will find, is the head that becomes fully encased in lead.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The powerful scroll that will come into your possession this week is written in Sumerian, not Latin. To think otherwise would be a costly mistake, so remember that.
