TMA Entities as Normal Horoscopes
(To clarify, the Entities from The Magnus Archives, as represented by horoscopes from @normal-horoscopes. Entities presented in alphabetical order, horoscopes in the order that I found them.)
BEHOLDING
Libra: Your eye for detail is one of your most defining traits! Most people only have two general purpose eyes.
Gemini: Unleash your curiosity upon an unforgiving world and dissect everything you are afraid of with an olive fork until you understand it so well it can’t scare you anymore.
Pisces: You are the last one still awake. What are you still doing up? This late at night, with only one pair of eyes. You might see something you weren’t supposed to.
Gemini: You’ll have to throw out or donate most of your novelty t-shirts when you awake to find several bonus eyes hovering around you in elliptical orbits.
Sagittarius: Careful not to blunt those sharp eyes on an unforgiving task. Passion for learning is all well and good, but you’re venturing into uncharted territory that may contain things that want your eyes.
Gemini: Most of us have spare eyes. You have far too many.
Taurus: I can’t shake the feeling I’m being watched. Wait, watched isn’t the right word. Watched and something else.
Cancer: Quit your peeping. Something is looking back at you.
BURIED
Virgo: The weight of the world will crush you into a diamond.
Virgo: Your horoscope today is just dust. That’s it. Buncha dust.

Taurus: Cave buddies.
Capricorn: Spend some time huffing large amounts of dust to make your insides dustier.

Taurus: It goes far deeper than you imagine. Talk about it.
Cancer: You’ve come across something you should not have interrupted. Run. Run now. Go, or the very earth will swallow you whole.
Scorpio: Your natural drive and ambition will lead you to some interesting places! Who knew a person could even fit in that small a hole?

Pisces: You will see a cool picture of a plague doctor this week. Hell yeah.
Pisces: Growth is simply growth. Gardens and cancers alike.
Ophiuchus: When she awoke to see the infection had taken her shoulder she did the only sensible thing. She cut off her own head. She holds it by the hair in her left hand.

Gemini: The discomfort you can’t seem to shake is likely due to the large nest of bees that have made its home inside your ribs.
Ophiuchus: The value of today’s fortune depends heavily on your opinion of rot.

DARK

Taurus: Ensure your friends sit next to you by burning all other chairs and eating the ashes to hide your trickery.
Virgo: Fire is a powerful cleansing force, but that doesn’t make arson legal. The one thing fire cannot purify is the law.

END
Aries: Look buddy, only one of us can leave this pumpkin festival alive, and I’m already dead.
Gemini: What’s the rush? Nothing has happened but you can feel your heartbeat in your ears, you can feel your eyes dilate. Literally nothing has changed but your body seems convinced that you are going to die any second.

FLESH

Leo: There will be a distinct element of aggression to your emotions today, specifically towards chefs that are a member of the ancient secret society of cannibals who just murdered your science teacher.

Sagittarius: Fear not, there is pulled pork aplenty for those with the courage to seek it.

HUNT
Aquarius: Speak softly, carry a big stick, hide a gun inside the stick just in case the bastard is outside of stick range.
Pisces: If you are being chased by something unearthly, go for the selfie. Life is short, especially when you are being chased by something unearthly.
Aries: Nothing evil stalks the forest. The wild is bigger than you could ever imagine. You are nothing to it. No skinwalker or boogeyman or revenant could ever aspire to the persistence and hunger of the wild untamed.

Virgo: The blissful are being sold a lie. The only true bliss is the glory of the hunt and a slaked bloodlust.
Pisces: Nothing gets the panties wet like the sound of hundreds of spectral mounts crashing through moonlit woods while the call of the hunt echoes among the trees, striking fear into the hearts of your ghastly quarry.
LONELY
Ophiuchus: You can’t stop feeling just one thing. Stuffing down one emotion means stuffing down them all.
Aquarius: You may be stunned to find that the introduction of a new person into your life will make you less lonely.
Taurus: Spend some time outdoors today. Reflect on the state of the world. See yourself reflected in the world and try to fight the other person who is interrupting your reflection time.
Aquarius: Do you remember the seaside? That strip of sand that made you feel at home? Do you remember how quiet it was?

SPIRAL

Sagittarius: You are correct Sagittarius! That small wooden carving of a fox wasn’t there last night! Yes, it is cursed! Right on the money there.
Capricorn: There is no old woman following you around throwing small potted plants at you.
Scorpio: Relieve stress by planning a trip that isn’t a trip to a place that isn’t a place. Relieve stress by conceiving of time collapsed into a single semipermeable plane of events that anchors all the things that could be.

Taurus: Two strangers meet in a Mediterranean country that does not exist. They discuss silver and poison and the nature of madness.

Libra: There is something in the wires practicing its voices by leaving spam calls in your inbox.

Ophiuchus: The creepy carnival set up outside of town that only certain people can see is not to be trusted, not matter how cool the rollercoaster looks.
Cancer: She’s a fake bitch. Literally, she has a heart of clockwork and armored skin made of porcelain. Even unholy things like her shouldn’t gossip though.

Pisces: There is a hole in the world where you cannot see, and through this hole there seeps the things that can never be.
Scorpio: Sometimes being too oblivious to even notice a problem can be an asset. Can’t sweat the small stuff if you don’t even notice it.

Ophiuchus: Maybe your prayers would be answered if your god wasn’t such a pussy.
Gemini: Limited options make choices easier! There are only so many places you can get a human heart!

Virgo: Ribs are important. Make sure you have a good grasp on the importance of ribs.
