Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You have strong feelings for someone, though you don't have them all the time- only when you let yourself. Travel light and move fast. You'll say fewer words and have greater impact. Don't let it worry you if a number of little things go wrong today because what happens over the next week will more than make up for it. Most of your problems, such as they are, exist only in your head.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
There is something you have to take part in today that you are not looking forward to, but if you make an effort and get involved, how much you enjoy yourself may surprise you. You want to be appreciated for the full range of who you are, but there's so much to you that some people won't be able to understand. However, one who can will surface soon, in the most unexpected of places.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Why are you chasing so hard after something you can never have? Make an effort today to see why the cosmic powers are continuing to deny you what you most desire. Maybe it's just not good for you. Everyone needs a friend who will stick by them through good times and bad. If you've let such a person drift out of touch, reel him or her back into your life. You'll also make a positive impression today on someone new, and the ensuing connection shows promise.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
When a job seems beneath you but you still have to do it, give it a new title- the fancier the better. You must strive to keep your mind on positive and uplifting things. Banish all forms of negativity today. You care about interaction with others, and that sometimes makes you dread social functions, but there are big events on the horizon which will require a great deal of organization on your behalf.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You arrived at this place because you dreamed about it. Some of the dreams were what you wanted, and some were what you didn't want. Better cosmic influences early this week will help you see why you were wrong to think that your life has no meaning, but for now you'll just have to take it on faith. Great things still await you. As your imagination continues to work on a problem, unusual thoughts pop into your mind and your dreams take a highly creative turn as well.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
There is someone you want to like, and you want this person to like you too. Stand outside yourself and try to see how others perceive you. The view may surprise you. If nothing else, you will know why family and friends have been staying out of your way in recent days. Don't be so touchy! But don't shrink yourself to fit in with a small-minded group, either. Instead, find the people who are thinking and living on the same scale as you.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
You have been too caught up in your own petty problems as of late, and now you must raise your sights and see all the big things that are going on in the world around you- things that you should be a part of. You'll meet someone who is aligned with your values and principles. Not every true friend is this much like you.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
You have every right to speak your mind- there is no such thing as a taboo subject. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise most likely has something to hide, and you are the one who will ferret out their secret. The normal rules of etiquette may go out the window because there is a more pressing business at hand.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
There will be people around you who know more about a certain area. Do not let this intimidate you, because you have more knowledge and expertise in an entirely different realm. You seem rather fearful of late. Most likely you've been watching the news programs again. Give the apocalyptic nonsense a miss. Watch something inspiring instead.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Spoil yourself silly. Better yet- spoil yourself sleepy- because you could use the extra rest. Don't make too many demands on yourself today, because there will be a lot happening in your world over the week. The more rest you get now, the more fun you'll have then. A sympathetic ear is welcome, although it's not the best role you could take on right now with a certain someone.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
There's a lot of tension in the air at the moment, but as Neptune, the planet of deception, begins a retrograde phase there is most likely nothing to fear. People are talking about an array of wacky topics. You have a charming way of focusing on what's wonderful about life in general. Act on the assumption that only good things will happen.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Not everyone shares your ability to rise above setbacks and turn them into triumphs, so make allowances and make it your mission to cheer up friends and strangers alike who are feeling depressed. It's what you are good at. You'll make highly original choices this week, which is why you'll repeatedly land in new and novel situations.
[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.]
Other News
- A Family Affair?
The latest political gossip reveals that Redgrave and his son Brice had a quarrel over Redgrave's secretary, Miss Barbara Paisley (28), who took up the position last month recently after the late Governor sent Reginald Townshed to oversee SERO's work at the core site. Brice had been seen out with Miss Paisley, and yesterday he confirmed to a member of the press that he has not only been having an affair with the woman, but that she was with him in the manor on the night of his father's death. He claims they were unaware of murder under the same roof until morning, but police now suspect a range of interpersonal foul play.
- Garbage Workers Still On Strike
Sanitation workers remain on their picket lines as of this morning, with no talk of contract negotiations in sight. Union members gather in front of the gates at the city landfill & recycling center, even as angry drive-by citizens pelt them with bags of trash. Meanwhile, curbside pickup is being handled by AGI slaves on loan to the city, with rampant complaints that certain neighborhoods are being neglected in the rescheduled routes. Union representatives hope to fill the Sanitation Department's Office with one of their own in the coming elections, a position once held by the late Orville "Stinky Pete" Peterson.

Plot springboard as you will.]
