[The following horoscope, written by Synthesis Weekly's longest running columnist Kozmic Kev, is for entertainment purposes only. Or you can plan your life to it accordingly. Either way.]

June 16th – 22nd

Aries
You are tumbling towards the most inner parts of your being. Communication is important, yet family is as well. Beautify your home. Let the after hours party be at your house. The full moon on Wednesday brings transformational experiences to the workplace. Remember that even miracles come at a price.

Taurus
This is the last good week for getting to know your possessions. Most Taurean types are obsessed with material goods and how they or others use these goods. We fight poverty both by helping others and by helping ourselves. The full moon brings the life and death-affirming notion that not everything is in our control.

Gemini
First lets start with some good news: mercury in Gemini goes direct on Thursday at 7:31 AM PDT. Communication will get back to basics. You’ll want to treat yourself to some sort of luxury. The full moon puts relationship issues on the forefront. Negotiation leads to transformation. Who you are meets what you need.

More divinations after the jump. (more…)

“Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…”
“Doesn’t sound too bad. I’ll try to stay awake.”

Admittedly, I too am a bit skeptical of the upcoming Princess Bride Game, which will launch as a downloadable animated game this summer. The following trailer isn’t necessarily assuaging my distrust. There are a million and one ways to fuck up a legacy, and until I see otherwise, looks like Worldwide Biggies is tampering with greatness. But please, judge for yourself.

I’ll be happy to change my tune once I see the actual game, but right now all I’m thinking is Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Don’t mess with greatness. Don’t gild the lily.

“Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?”

“If there are, we all be dead.”

DEATH FIRST!
