Greetings Mod Fans!

It's another beautiful day on this spinning globe of ours, and with the dawn comes another patch! As always, here's your monthly horrorscope:

Aquarius:
Now isn't the time to invest in a new style. Whatever you pick, it will be out of fashion by next month due to the Sun exploding.

Pisces:
Joining an ancient secret society might seem like a good idea, but be warned: It's probably a pyramid scheme.

Aries:
The big decision you've been considering will go well for you. It will also annihliate the pre-industrial civilization living on Alpha Centauri IV.

Taurus:
Interpersonal relationships are more important than ever. Don't forget to let your nemesis know how important they are to you.

Gemini:
Consider a healthier lifestyle and diet. The xenomorph growing inside of you needs nutrients too!

Cancer:
This is a period of contemplation. Use it to consider your actions, and be at peace.

Leo:
Your suspicions about your partner are about to be validated. They are cheating on you with your clone.

Virgo:
No matter how much your heart yearns to express itself, never write poetry. Doing so would awaken the Elder One and bring about the Apocalypse.

Libra:
Things might seem difficult at times, and no matter how hard you try goals seem further away. Don't give up! Becoming Emperor of the Universe takes time!

Scorpio:
Someone may come asking for your help. If they do, give them a bale of hay and your crops will be plentiful this year.

Sagittarius:
Search your fridge. Any rotten vegetables or condiments are sure to be a dark omen. The end is nigh.

Capricorn:
There's nothing that can be said about you, except that you're pretty cool. Keep it up!
