{HEx : Horoscope}
as foretold by Medium Colossa Lowe
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Sign: The Ram
You try telling yourself that it’s just your imagination, but you keep thinking
that you see squirrels glaring suspiciously at you on the 4th. The next week,
you’ll see a little group of them gathered in a tree, chirping away and stealing
glances at you. The following Thursday, you’ll see those rodents gathering the
heaviest and sharpest nuts and sticks they can find. That Friday, you’ll be gone
and no one will ever know what happened to you.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Sign: The Bull
You might notice something a little off about one of your friends this month.
Here’s a little checklist for you: are his eyes glowing red? Is he speaking in
unintelligible grunts? Has he developed a sudden, startling craving for human
brains? If you’ve answered yes to all three of these, either he’s a zombie or
very stoned. Either way, you might want to have a little garlic on hand by the
13th.
Gemini
May 21 - June 21
Sign: The Twins
You will have to go undercover as a muggle this month to keep the Ministry off
your trail. So you sold some black basilisk eggs once; hasn’t everyone? As you
ponder why they are making such a goddamn deal out of the entire thing, it might
be wise to pick a better alias than “Anita Disguise”. Just a suggestion.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Sign: The Crab
Actually, those watch batteries are defective. Go back to the place and ask for
another pair. You’ll thank me later.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Sign: The Lion
I hate to tell you this, but you’re absolutely horrible at impressions. Just
because you say “hoo-hah” a lot does not make you Al Pacino, you hear me? And
acting like a drunk only makes you seem a TINY bit like Giordano. Look: I’m sure
you must have other talents that you could… oh, who am I kidding. You’re a Leo.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Sign: The Virgin
I’m looking at your sign, and honestly? Not buying it. At all.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
Sign: The Scales
That cult--er, religious organization--that you’ve joined recently sure makes
you feel happy! In fact, you’ve never felt happier and more not-brainwashed!
Tell everyone you know that the “religious organization” is having a bake sale
on the 30th. Followed by a human sacrifice! But you might want to leave out that
part.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
Sign: The Scorpion
Just when you’re feeling at your most lost and insecure, finally, you’ll find
your true love this month. No, it’s not a person. Don’t kid yourself; you’re not
nearly good-looking enough for that! But, I’m sure your new robot love will be a
worthy substitute. Just don’t press that big red button. Trust me.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Sign: The Centaur
I hate to ruin the end for you, but there was a telescreen behind that picture
the entire time, so that literary hypothesis you develop on the ninth will prove
not to be correct. You seriously expected a happy ending? What the hell’s wrong
with you?
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Sign: The Goat
I know you’re feeling horrible right now, and you need someone to talk to.
Someone to tell your deepest, darkest secrets to; someone who is kind and
thoughtful; someone who would never dream of hurting or manipulating you. Hey,
how about that school governor guy? Now there’s a guy as trustworthy as I am
qualified to write these horoscopes! Actually… maybe that’s a bad example…
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Sign: Water
In Transfiguration one day, you’ll get changed into a statue. Everyone will
agree that this is an improvement and might not be so keen to transform you
back, so I’d strike a flattering pose beforehand, if I was you.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Sign: Fish
You will become tragically blind and deaf, before you even get a chance to read
this article. Guess there’s really no point in continuing to write it then, is
there? Oh, thank God.
