This is cute and all, but is this section really needed?
I mean, I doubt that the horoscopes are actually made by an astrologist. (And if they are, it should say so.) It just takes away from the professionality of the site.
Nice job with the cover image and dividing the articles into sections. That looks great.

I can see where your coming from. Perhaps I should add a small disclaimer that it's not really meant to be serious. (the writer isn't an astrologist to my knowledge..) However it shall stay as long as the writer wishes to continue writing it. The Newsletter is sorta anything goes right now. While we do wish to convey an air of professionalism we're a happy go lucky group of folks. (who type bad, bless our editors...)
And thanks for the comment on the cover. I'm still working out the kinks but I like it. ;D

This article really has no place in a rag of this kind. I'd take it out even if the author wants to keep it, unless it paid me.

Spriteville, does Kitsune pay you? If she does, I want a share.

lol, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it ^^; I'm not an astrologist, but I read up about it every month at quite a few sources so I can have more accurate predictions.

In defense of Horoscopes:
Your local newspaper is there to tell you what's going on in your local area and region. Yet, it has horoscopes, comics, opinion columns that are nationally syndicated, etcetera.
Using the same kind of logic, it's not a big deal to run the horoscopes in our magazine, IMHO.

I think it's cute. Sort of a webcomic parody of newpapers.
It could use some symbols for the star signs though... maybe the comicfied astrology symbols to make it clear it's not supposed to be serious.

I support the horoscopes as a diversion. It brings a smile to my face when I read them.  I also have a certificate in Astrology and Parapsychology and am willing to make contributions. BIG NOTE: To me, astrology and horoscopes are for fun and you should not base your life on them! ;D Susan |

Besides to keep the papparazzi occupied...

There are no stars, Dutch. They are just an optical illusion visible only from Australia.

Aren't they the souls of former kings? Oh I remember, they are burning orbs of gas!

Now where'd you get that silly idea about burning orbs of gas?
