Sounds amusing, I have a quick humorous 15ish minute mission: Eagor - Idiot for Hire.
Might fit nice into a horoscope as it attempts to play with a little bit of villainous character development; as in, what happens when you want to be the boss.
Link in sig.
Aries: This is a good day to make new friends, start a new endeavour, or join a new supergroup, like the Teen Phalanx (arc id 67335).
@PW - Police Woman (50 AR/dev blaster on Liberty)
TALOS - PW war journal - alternate contact tree using MA story arcs
=VICE= "Give me Liberty, or give me debt!"
I'll submit mine, #1589, "Of Mentors and Legacy", a 5-mission, 35-50 heroic serious arc. (Hows that for informative?)
EDIT: Drat, I forgot to edit the standard line in the description to fit a horoscope! Silly c&p, hold on...
Gemini: If someone can feel things that are not as they seem this week, that's you. Try arc #1589, you feel there's something wrong with that simulation!
(But... Not all will be as it seems in that arc ad!)
Got a few reviews done here, the feedback helping a lot with polishing. Links in the forum:
Review by HolyEvilAoD.
Review by Frozen_Northman.
EDIT AGAIN: Grrrrah! Bad grammar mistake, no cookie for me today! >_<
Players' Choice Awards: Best Dual-Origin Level Range Arc!
It's a new era, the era of the Mission Architect. Can you save the Universe from...
The Invasion of the Bikini-clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space? - Arc ID 61013
I can't think of an appropriate symbol so I'll just use my own.
Capricorn: The economy has been hard on villains everywhere, but you might score big in "MacGuffin Delivery Service" (Arc #3326). Look out for mysterious green birds.
Check my personal feedback thread (not my reviews thread) for reviews on it. PoliceWoman just did one today.
Interface reviewed it in his own thread as well.
hmmm.....
I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
Aquarius: Your role as a trendsetter is put into turmoil. Your best chance at getting back on track is to play Death to Disco! (84420) to set things straight.
Or
Pisces: You are use to struggling with two paths, but three could put you in over your head. Best to stop a third path from forming by playing Death to Disco! (84420).
Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
I will submit mine, The Quest for Fish Melee ARC 99058
Humorous arc that allows you to find out who REALLY is behind the hold up for allowing us a new powerset.
*Edited to add, please tell me that I was not unclear on the original post, you wanted to write the dialouge for the horoscope- you just wanted us to list the arc, arc# and a general description correct?
"I don't wonda what Rose is like in RL, I just imagine she is a catgurl an' wish I could cyb0r wit her. "

Silence!!! I kill you!
Gemini: The transit of Mercury suggests that Jerk Hackers lie in wait when least expected. Tinfoil headgear recommended. (Arc No. 162482)

"At what point do we say, 'You're mucking with our myths'?" - Harlan Ellison
Scorpio: Fiery Ares is not your friend this week, as you'll need a cool head to use your natural charms to get to the bottom of any upcoming missions. A little subtlety and acting may be required for things like Arc # 126073: The Clockwork Crusade.
Faction: Arachnos, Vahzilok, Council, Clockwork
Creator Global/Forum Name: @YanYan
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate, designed to be solo able by any AT
Mission Levels: 1-20
Estimated Time to Play: 30 Minutes to an Hour.
Synopsis: Hero Corps has asked you for some unique help. Seems the Clockwork are making some strange attacks against other villains. They've asked you to 'assist' them under cover.
Leo: You will find love in strange places, such as the contact for arc ID: 17006.
Aquarius: A man claiming to be an old friend will tell you he needs your help stopping a catastrophe you've never heard of. Speeding Through Time Arc number 51728
Scorpio: You will have a new, eye-opening experience when you are called upon to shut down The Extadine Lab. (2595)
Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.
Sagittarius: What seems at first like a minor event will lead you into the depths of a great mystery. Investigate carefully; the obvious answers are rarely the correct ones. Show mercy to an adversary, and he may provide you with valuable insight. Above all, remember to dodge incoming fire from packs of angry robots. Rage Within The Machine (137705)
Arc# 137705: Rage Within The Machine. A mystery in five acts. Robots are rising up and attacking hero and villain alike. Who is responsible? Heroic, Very Long, Story arc, no EBs or AVs, no "defeat all", no Ninjitsu. For level 30 and up.
Libra: Ruthless villains controlling the balance of power is not having a good effect on you, better check out Arc #5349 and restore things to their proper course.
Faction(s): Arachnos, Council, Custom
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Xenite Blackthread, @LordXenite
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate, designed to be solo able by any AT

Can you and your team stop the diabolical Mind-Web Virus??
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!
Save Ms. Liberty (#5349) � Augmenting Peacebringers � The Umbra Illuminati
Save Ms. Liberty (#5349) � Augmenting Peacebringers � The Umbra Illuminati
I really like this idea. 
Taurus: If the influx of new street gangs into Paragon City is beginning to get your dander up, maybe you should take out some of that stubbornness in cleaning up the streets on Arc# 151099, Meet the Demon Spawn. It can do wonders for your blood pressure to be able to put these guys in the Zig.
Arc Name: Meet the Demon Spawn
Are you ready to accept a challenge from Paragon City's newest gang of thugs and their leader, Slash DeMento? Hang on to your hat and be ready for a wild ride. These guys are new in town and they want to make a big impression. The bad kind! They're stockpiling weapons & bombs galore, and need to be stopped before someone really gets hurt.
This is a custom gang that are a spinoff of the Outcasts. It's a 4 mission arc. (I also have a short 1 mission intro that could be substituted. Story Arc Name: Slash DeMento and the Stolen Weapons #100045) No EB/AVs in either one. It's mostly a serious arc with a slight touch of humor in the last mission of the 4 part.
Comments can be made using this link.
No AV/EBs Deal with The Devil's Pawn-207266 Slash DeMento and the Stolen Weapons-100045 Meet the Demon Spawn-151099 Feedback
Virgo: It's rarely a good idea to wake a sleep-walker, especially when playing arc #4384: "The Double-Edged Sword". Also, be wary of fountains, empty containers and people wearing masks.

Libra: A penny on the sidewalk can be a good omen, but beware of other things made of copper in arc #60280: "Dr. Dave and the Copper Legion". Be careful at work, especially when confronting a deceptive and two-faced boss.
(Reviews by Lazarus and by HolyEvilAoD)
Rise of the Copper Legion (#60280; with soundtrack)
The Fractured Dreamer (#498588; with musical theme)
"Now Leaving: Paragon City": original composition for the end of CoH
Cancer: Keeping your feelings inside may strain relationships with friends and family. Take an hour of "me time" with Arc #185425 - "The Terrible Plan of Doktor Kannoenfutter" to vent your frustrations by destroying Doktor Kannoenfutter and his eight elite robot bosses, then approach things with a fresh perspective tomorrow.
Your lucky numbers this week: 185425
Libra: You're in the zone today! You keep coming up with brilliant ideas! Unfortunately, your social awkwardness seems to have increased as well. 
No worries; playing Arc #55715: "Freaks and Geeks" will have you feeling nerdy and heroic all at once!
Another note: You don't *have* to write up your description in horoscope format, though you can if you want to. And thanks for all the submissions. If I keep getting enough, it might be bumped to weekly instead of bi-weekly. Look for the first installment next Friday.
So that the thread doesn't stall (and to shamelessly plug mine! ):
Aquarius: With Saturn and Venus in conjunction it's a great time to start a new project. #1345, "Jumping in Feet First" would be a great place to start one. You should, however, not rush any of these new plans, Venus' phase advices caution in these projects to succeed.
Short soloable heroic low level arc (levels 1-9, 3 missions), very little to add, it's mostly stock Council troops in a straightforward set of missions.
Sagittarius: The Moon has retreated from your sign and the Sun will not enter for another week. Do not let the Bikini-clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space in arc #61013 take advantage of this! You will need perseverance in your endeavours during this week. Thread.
Levels 5-25 (but since the latest custom mob changes, bit on the hard side at low levels), humorous arc, soloable for sure. It's more on the heroic side.

I will be starting a new article called AE Horoscopes where I would basically advertise AE arcs in a somewhat humorous way. If you'd like your arc to be featured, just list your arc ID, arc name, a quickie description, mood (serious, humorous, etc), and if it's a longer arc please leave a link to a feedback thread, or a review since I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to verify all of the arcs personally.
For the arcs I do play, I might write up a review in my Reviews for Short Arcs thread, so if you would not like your arc reviewed, please say so.
Edit: for a quick example of what I'm talking about in case I'm not being clear enough, I'll use one of my own arcs.
Gemini: You're feeling beside yourself this week, like a feeling of deja vu. Maybe trying out Arc # 137561: Time Loop will pull you out of your rut.
Second edit: You don't *have* to write your description in horoscope format, I got to do some writing to get credit for this article, right? But feel free if you want to.
